CARNIVAL BARKER:
Step right up!

Five tries for a dollar,
three tries for two!

That's my kind of deal!

Broth, we're on security detail!

The queen is taking the stage soon

and those protesters
are making me nervous.

It's time to strike a blow
for Kraken rights!

We'll show them
you can't exploit the majesty of nature

in the name of consumerism!

[protesters agreeing]

Yeah! For Krakens!
What the hell is a Kraken?

Professor Sequoia, do we get graded
for this or is it pass / fail?

First of all, Gretchen, I told you:
I'm the cool professor.

When we're just rapping, call me Ziggy.

It's not about grades,
it's about disrupting the Queen's speech.

Lighten up, Patrick.
It's Kraken Week!

I hate to get all legal on ya,

Kraken Week is very special to me.

And since I'll never
get to see one in the wild...

Dad, for the millionth time,
I'm sorry!

I didn't know I had a shellfish allergy.

There we were, in line
for the Kraken-watching tour.

Soak it in, kids.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

I've been on the waiting list
for this tour since I was your age.

- Hey, Patrick, lick this.
- What is it?

CORAL: It's a popsicle.

- Don't tell anyone where you got it.
- Okay.

TOUR GUIDE: Last call
for the Kraken-watching tour! Last call!

This is it! Woo!
I've never been so happy!

I love you, kids.

- What are you eating?

Popsicle. I found it.

You don't look so good.
Is that shrimp?

[gagging]
I can't breathe!

Oh, my God!
He's having an allergic reaction!

He's fine!
His tongue is swollen with excitement!

Whose isn't?
I'm swollen!

[wheezing]

Who finds a popsicle?

Dad, I'm done apologizing,
because somebody works at the castle now.

And somebody got free
Kraken-watching tickets for tomorrow!

- [squeals]
- Oh, Patrick, you shouldn't have.

Son, you just went from
least favorite kid straight to the top!

- CORAL, RUBEN: Hey!
- Glenn, stop ranking the kids.

Tomorrow?
I have taxidermy club!

I finally get to show off Winky!

[ominous music plays]

[shudders]
You can skip it.

How'd you get free tickets
after letting the Queen get fish-blasted?

KING: You let some tree-hugger
chum-punt the Queen?

He did! And I want him strung up
by his heels immediately!

- I'll take care of it, my love.
- Hmpf! [muttering]

That is... the funniest thing I have
ever heard in my whole f*cking life!

How can I ever repay you?

[laughing]

No! Straighten the virgin!
It looks ridiculous!

Dad, Blarney's too drunk to be up here!
Can I get some sober help?

No, you have a problem, man!

[yelling, grumbling]

Ah, nobody help him!
It's the only way he'll learn.

[muffled shouting]

Done!

Ugh, Krakens are so lame!
And yappy!

They're like the corgis of the sea.

GLENN: You take that back!

I'm a pirate, Dad.
The ocean is my office.

I know what I'm talking about.

Listen, if you're the man
with the connections,

how about hooking Coral up with some
sweet gunpowder from the royal stash?

I can't take you seriously
when you talk in the third person.

And I'm not stealing from my job for you.

Oh, c'mon, bitch! I'm in the middle
of a pirate turf w*r

and I'm getting my cooch
handed to me by Long Dong Doug!

I need to beef up my firepower!

Would you just back off
and let me savor my victory?

I'm finally back on Dad's good side.

He's going to have the experience
of a lifetime, and it's all thanks to me!

More importantly, where are we with lunch?

Sire, there are many

For example,
Cinnamon is on the ship.

The Department of... Adultery.

Get out of town!
I'm in the same department!

As the king,
I should handle this personally.

Yes, and I'll go as well.
It's the right thing to do.

Broth, I am freaking out!

Me too!
We never picked a lunch place!

No, my parents are on that ship!
I have to save 'em!

gonna eat, then, huh?

Beautiful, ain't she?

Y'know, a ship is like a woman...

End of metaphor.

Technically, a simile.

And it's not a boat, it's a ship!
There's a g*dd*mn difference!

What's the difference?

A ship... is a really big boat.

Admiral Killgore,
the King requests your presence on deck.

We're approaching the h*jacked ship.

Yep. I'm more of a glass-half-full

Your majesty, think of the cinnamon!

Well, he's right!
We can't lose the cinnamon!

Dad, you're embarrassing me.

Heads up, class!
It's the heat.

Now they can't ignore us!

Yeah! They'll cancel
Kraken Week for sure!

If they cancel Kraken Week,

You are a married man
with four children.

I heard what I said.

- Canons are loaded and ready!
- Wait!

Can't we try to negotiate
before we sink them?

The Royal Navy does not negotiate
with t*rrorists!

Not ordinarily.

But today you've got the world's
greatest negotiator on board.

Oh, wait. He means me!

What the hell are you talking about?

You couldn't negotiate your way
out of a paper bag.

Sounds like a maybe.

end the culturally insensitive
ban on virgin sacrifices.

Because the Krakens are starving!

Oh, you will!
