Guilty.

Take the prisoner away.

Next case.

Your Lordship,
a grave situation.

The three ruffians about
to appear before the court

are in a fit way
to wreck our empire.

What sayest ye?

Aye, Your Lordship, only this
morn these brigands att*cked

His Majesty's guard

and did them battle

on the very threshold
of the palace.

Bring forth yon varlets.

I'll take a ham sandwich.

Hold thy tongue.

Not tongue, ham.

Continue, counsellor.

Your Lordship, these rogues do
lay claim to be kin

to the Three Musketeers.

One for all. All for one.

Every man for himself.

[BANGS GAVEL]
Silence, ye knaves.

Ye are accused of doing battle
with His Majesty's guard.

What say ye to the charge?

I can explain, judge.

You seeth, it was like thiseth.

Going once, twice.

Do I hear ?

Who will make it ?

I shall.

Thank you--

Whoo!

Fifty-five years
for the lot of ye

at hard labor.

But Your Lordship, it'll cost
the crown a pretty penny

to feed yon wastrels
for years.

Why not send them to our
colonies in America

to fight the redskin savage?

Hm, I just love
corn beef and savage.

JUDGE: Silence.

I now sentence ye knaves
to defend our colonists

from the savages.

Gadzooks, they'll scalp
us alive.

Not me.

Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck.

A pleasant journey, gentlemen.

The same, sire, to thee.

Ow!

The good ship Pimpernel
did anchor last eve.

So soon? Aye.

Only one year in crossing.

Well, well.

Ooh!

Oh, uh, we've come
to see the governor.

Be thou the governor's
daughters?

Aye, sir. I be Faith,

and this is Hope,

I wouldst a word with thee,
my little charming wallflower.

What dost thou?

I saw her first.

Fish posh and tish tosh.

I'll never give up Hope.

Why dost thou not take Charity?

I need not Charity.

I'm on the WPA.

Aye.
Willing Pilgrims Association.

Hm!

All my life I hath been looking
for a maid like thee, toots.

Aw, give us a break, kid.

I'm a stranger in town

For shame that ye dance

while the colony is in dire
need of food.

Who be thou and what do ye here?

We be sent by His Majesty
to defend the colony.

Our credentials, sire.

Hm, Boston Downs.

The Indians have arrived
to sue for peace.

Wouldst thou go to the meeting?

Oh, wouldst.

Come.

About face.

Ooh.

Forward march.

Peace.

Take mortgage on balance.
Interest percent.

Thank goodness, at last
we are free to hunt.

No. No hunt till F.O.B.

F.O.B.?

Mm. Fork over balance.

Indian givers.

But chief, if we cannot hunt,
the colonists will starve.

[SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

But listen, chief.
Wait, we pray thee.

ALL: We shall perish of hunger.

Oh, woe is us. Oh, woe is us.

'Tis a chance to redeem
ourselves, lads.

We shall hunt anyway,
and feed the colonists.

Thou hast said a mouthful.

I shall bringeth a moose.

And I shall bringeth an elk.

I'll bring
a couple of odd fellows.

Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck.

And they call this

Wait. Heed them not.

They are only Indian signs.

Verily I am disgusted.

Not a turkey in sight.

Oh, my toe--

Give me the bird.

Nay, 'tis mine. Wait.

Give him the bird.

How I shall gobble this gobbler.
