Quotes 

• [Flipper alerts Cap to the presence of a black ship flying the Skull and Crossbones sailing nearby] 

  Cap Daulton : Holy mother of a manatee. Huh. Shiver me timbers, matey! Looks to me like one of them theme cruises - a bunch of rich guys get dressed up and play pirate all weekend. Hey, I wonder if they'd like to go fishin', too?

  [Flipper vigorously shakes his head in the negative] 

  Cap Daulton : Avast, you sea dogs! Captain Blood Daulton here, scourge of the Nine Keys and all of the Dry Tortugas.

  [Flipper sounds a warning, which Cap ignores] 

  Cap Daulton : Shut up, Flipper. I'm on a roll.

  Cap Daulton : [yelling to the pirates]  How would you swabbies like to sail with me into adventure?

  [the pirate ship fires a cannonball, which explodes near Cap's boat] 

• [last lines] 

  Maya Graham : Do you think you'll ever see the real pirate Black Jack again?

  Cap Daulton : Aw, that stuff really didn't happen, Maya. I was transferrin' or transposin' or something like that, You know what I mean?

  Maya Graham : Yeah, you're right. It couldn't have.

  Cap Daulton : You'll need a higher angle on Flipper from here.

  [Cap hears the sound of a dagger whizzing through the air and striking the mast behind him, followed by Black Jack's ghostly laughter] 

• Cap Daulton : Hey, I got this interesting little movie I want to show y'all.

  Dr. Jennifer Daulton : Cap, you don't...

  Tom Hampton : [grabbing the microphone from Jennifer]  I'll bring the popcorn. This wouldn't happen to be a pirate movie, would it, Cap?

  Cap Daulton : Yessiree Bob, it would. Over and out.

• Cap Daulton : All right, Maya, on action, you take this slate and hold it up in front of the camera for a marker and then cue Flipper for his jump.

  Maya Graham : [reading the slate]  "Dead Pirates Cove Promo"? Cap, nobody died out here.

  Cap Daulton : I almost did. Anyway, we're selling the sizzle, not the steak. The tourists are going to eat it up.
