Holly, my girl, we're not in 1756 anymore. 1756! I have to say, when I woke up this morning, didn't expect I'd be driving into New York City with a 300-year-old pirate chasing down an even worse 300-year-old pirate. Welcome to our world, Mom. Welcome to our world! Wait! What happened to the sun? ! We're going through a tunnel that takes us to Manhattan.
Tunnel? Under what? A lot of water. We're driving under the water? You look scared, Silver. Me? Scared? Never, lass. Why, John Silver has sailed the seven seas, facedown sharks and whales and His Majesty's Navy and... What was that? Pothole. And we're out of the tunnel. You can open your eyes now, John. The eyes weren't closed. Just resting. Uh-huh. Well, anyway, Long John Silver, meet New York City. Shiver me timbers. Where did all the people come from?
They come from everywhere. It's New York.
What challenges do the kids face with Long John Silver?
Hey, that guy totally cut me off. You learned how to drive. That wasn't her fault.
The scoundrel. The knave.
Mr. Silver, why are you unbuckling? He's getting out of the minivan.
Why is he getting out of the minivan? John, stop. We don't have time for this. We have to find Kincaid. That scallywag insulted your honor, Cynthia. I've sliced men ear to ear for less. And he's got his sword. Stop it! Come back, you coward! Get out of that carriage and fight like a man! Oh, this is bad. This is very bad!
BYU Radio presents Treasure Island 2020, a reimagined audio adventure based on the classic novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. Episode 9, The Pirates Take Manhattan.
Does anyone see him? Where did Long John Silver go? I lost sight of him when he ran across traffic.
With his sword.
He'll be back, right?
I don't know, will he?
We just lost a one-legged sword-wielding pirate in midtown Manhattan. Well, technically, he lost us. James, you guys are going to have to get out and try to find him. I'm going to pull into a garage and use the app on your phone to track you down.
Okay, let's hit the streets. Be careful. What could possibly go wrong? Okay, now what?
It can't be that hard to find a guy dressed like that.
Maybe we should just ask someone on the street. Hey, have you seen a one-legged seafaring man with an annoying parrot and clothes that haven't been washed in 300 years? I don't think so. You got a better plan?
Okay, so who do we ask? Most of these people are wearing earbuds or staring at their phones.
One at a time is going to take too long. Morgan, what are you doing? You can't just climb a light pole. Get down!
Excuse me? Hello? People of New York? Has anyone seen a pirate run by here? One leg? Parrot? Sword?
Anyone? Pirate? Hello? The dirty-looking pirate with the peg leg? Yeah, I saw him, kid. His bird was giving me the stink eye. He went that way, toward Bryant Park. What is happening to this world? That is a very good question, ma'am. Thank you for your help! Yeah, yeah, now stop clogging the sidewalk. To the park! Let's go!
Tell me again why we stopped for a pretzel. A. They're delicious. And B. No one can resist a hot New York pretzel. Not even pirates. Do you see him? There he is. Across the park. Is he with a... Oh, he's talking to a police officer. And neither of them look happy. We need to get him away from there. Fast. Let me do the talking. Gladly.
Yes, of course, this is a real blade. What do you take me for?
And what exactly are you planning to do with said blade?
Why, I'm slicing up the scoundrel who dares to... That will be enough, Mr. Silver. Children, you found me. Sadly, I lost that ruffian who dishonored your mother, James. That's okay. Well, now I'm being detained by this man in a strange blue uniform.
You kids know this guy? Know him? Oh, yeah, we go way back, officer. Uh, feels like we met him a couple hundred years ago, right?
