He tells her that he has recognized her How dare you stop and speak to me? Not so fast. Just don't want to know what you do here in Jamaica You are making a mistake May I remind you man that I am Antoinette DeLacy King's woman of the governor of Jamaica, Sir Thomas Modford. And not a make a mistake Your name is not Antoinette DeLacy. It is Dolores Bizarro When you came aboard the ship the flying girl I looked on your face I knew I had seen you someplace before and just a little while ago you came down off the ship and I remembered You see I was in Cuba when you arrived with your father Don Pietro Bizarro Governor of Cuba And I saw you leave the ship just like it did a moment ago, and I remembered Yeah, up to some misdeeds Yes, Spanish spy. I was screaming for help. You're screaming. I would expose you Go on take the risk Dolores what is keeping you? We have an appointment You will meet me tonight just outside the gates of government house and talk to me Else I tell the governor who you are. I certainly will not miss you. All right, then tomorrow. I go and see Sir Thomas Tonight it is to be a senior in earth. It's sorrow at nine o'clock or else tomorrow. I go to the governor Wait a moment who the devil isn't bursting in here like that I'll have a door open come in and shut it I'm glad it's you hunter or nobody else why captain. What's wrong? You've caught me at my secret cupboard See a sliding panel in the wall Until this moment. I'm the only person on the ship who knows of its existence. I'm sorry captain It doesn't matter so much. You know I got it You see I trust you lad. Sometimes your trust in me worries me. It's a great responsibility And I know an honest man and I see one Look here hunter I'll show you what I keep in the cupboard My face is the loot of all my bucketing days Take a look at that ruby See the fire of it How it catches the light and glows like haters and yet is so cool Like the heart of some woman Look you with these sapphires Look at their blue like the pacific ocean on the summer's day Took that little lot off the mayor of a coastal town. I once sacked Now I made him squeal before he'd tell me where he'd hidden them And look you hunter My biggest prize of all He has ticked necklace You've never held it in your hands long enough to take a good look at it Hold it now Beautifully fashioned by hand long since dead and crumbled to death. Tell me captain Morgan How much is the ransom of a bonded servant? What's that? I want to talk to you captain You better put those jewels away in your cupboard and close the secret door Well now What's troubling you lad? What is the price of a bonded servant? That depends Some are cheap if they're old and bent and ugly Kitty's price is far above what you've got kitty I'll know you I was speaking of kitty. There's not much that goes on in port royal that doesn't come to the ears of captain Henry Morgan Look you lad I took before to you about that when she isn't for the likes of you Well, I does not a man aboard the ship would not like the price to buy her from Boley good jobson and she knows it too I only want to know what her price would be Oh, and that is hard to estimate You'd best ask Boley good jobson If he kitties rather a special case His kitty that makes the dolphin tavern far and above the other key site devins As far as customers concerned When do we say on the next expedition? Oh, so you think you'll make enough out of buck and earing do you? We all get his share don't we? Sure But many take part in my expeditions and there are many to share the proceeds amongst You'd best forget kitty. Oh, I know that you've taken her eye and I know that although you had no hand in the actual ride at the tavern. It was started through you Forget kitty hunter. She's poisoned or man like you She'll wreck your life Kitty Sure, I want to be a mom and I just bring all his daughters away What's white, Jeff? Here, help me down off the flattery Here you are jump And right into your arms I come And what place could be nicer a kitty? I'm I'm going to talk to you aren't you serious? You're going to be I don't want to be serious with you I want to tell you how much I love you. No, but I do all my life's been changed Whereas before life was just the sun getting up from the sun setting and sermon loud mass cursing men with their drinks Now it's all changed There's a song in the heart and it sings all day. I loved you kitty Please I want to talk to you where he said that after the life I've led You should come to suddenly into my life and and I'd fall in love with you You're not in love with me kitty It it's only because I'm a little different from the other men who have come to the dolphin town No jeff yet, isn't that I know in my own heart the way I feel If it's possible for a woman to fall in love with a man so that nothing else in the world matters Then that's the way I've fallen in love with you You have tried to help me kitty and I want so much to help you It isn't your pity. I'm looking for jeffrey. I want to get you away out of this place I don't want you to be free forever from the humiliation of being worked as a slave I would like you to be free forever from the demands of every cost of brutal sailor who shouts at you for his drinks And what you ask is impossible That could only come about by someone buying my freedom. There must be some other way How long have you been in cordial kitty? Seems like a lifetime, but I guess it's now on two years For how long is your sentence if you think I can work my way to my freedom you're mistaken I was sent out here for life. What did you do? I got two convictions both for the same thing must have been serious crimes. I Serious to the man who owned the bread Have you ever been hungry in a strange city being without friends? Yes, I I know you've been without friends. I was forgetting for the moment But have you ever been hungry really hungry when your whole inside craves out for food? No I was alone in England. I'd not come from Ireland long and I was hungry And the baker's basket was standing on the pavement. I couldn't help myself My hand went out and I took a loaf, but I was not quick enough. The baker came back and he caught me He sent me to nougat for two years The stealing a loaf of bread and when I came out of jail I was still as hungry as I was before I went in And I thought this time I'd become When I saw another basket of freshly baked bread I waited until the baker disappeared out of sight and then I helped miss her But someone else saw me and gave me in charge Already I had one conviction had not been long out of jail. So So they sent me to Jamaica for life Such barbaric injustice should be allowed. What are these times? We're living in and when I came out here I didn't care what happened four-legged jobs and took me as his possession. Well, I didn't care I knew what I was Just like cattle in the field So I just let me fancy play where it would How was I to know that that I'd meet you Jeffrey and that I'd regret what I'd done in the past two years Jeffrey You've not kissed me yet. I came here today to talk to you to try and help your kitty Well, just helping me you'll be by by kissing me Don't you understand? It's wrong. I should kiss you like this. But how can it be wrong? We're really alike your pasts are behind you and your future doesn't promise much Just let's be happy the past hanging on to you and and that's why you hesitated to kiss me Let me make you realize that you're gonna never again what you've lost And the future's only what you're going to make of it And here waiting Give me a start. I didn't see you standing there in the shadows So you thought it wise to give our appointment senorina? You do not understand you are making a mistake a mistake isn't Yet you're come secretly to meet me because you have frightened it. I'll go to the governor and tell him the truth about you How is it if you're masquerading as unto net the lazy? What has happened to the real woman? I might ask you the same question. What are you a spaniard doing here in port oil? I owe allegiance to no country. I just work for myself. How much money do you want to go away and never worry me again?
