A monologue from the book by Dave Barry & Ridley Pearson (adapted for the stage by Rick Elice)
Act 1, Scene 7
Black Stache
“Perchance you think a treasure trunk sans treasure has put my piratical BVDs in a twist? How wrong you are.
Yes, I’d hoped to be hip-deep in diamonds, but they’re a poor substitute for what I really crave: a bona fide hero to help me feel whole.
For without a hero, what am I? Half a villain; a pirate in part; ruthless, but toothless. And then I saw you, and I thought, “Maybe? Can it be?
Is he the one I’ve waited for? Would he, for example, give up something precious for the sake of the daughter he loves?”
But alas, he gives up sand. Now, let’s see: hero with treasure, very good. Hero with no treasure…. doable.
No hero and a trunk full o’ sand? Not s’much. NOW, WHERE’S MY TREASURE?!?”
