Deck Party Poopers

We see the captain of a cruise liner standing on the bridge; he has his hands behind his back and is rocking to and fro on his heels looking very satisfied.

There is lively music being piped about the ship. Next to him is a junior officer who is also looking happy.

The captain then looks out the glass onto the fore deck with pride as he comments.

CAPTAIN
"That midnight Pirate fancy dress party you organised is going well, Jenkins"

JENKINS
"Thank you sir, I'd have to say myself I'm surprised at the size of the turnout. The passengers didn't even look that excited. To be honest I only had thirty definite and forty maybes. Now look at it, there must be three hundred out there dancing"

CAPTAIN
"Wait a minute they're not dancing"

JENKINS
"There not old or white either!"

A sailor rushes in without knocking and falls on the floor, he has a knife in his back.

I really liked this and wondered what you might think of a slight alteration at the end.

JENKINS
"Thank you sir, I'd have to say myself I'm surprised at the size of the turnout. The passengers didn't even look that excited. To be honest I only had thirty definite and forty maybes. Now look at it, there must be three hundred out there dancing"

CAPTAIN
"Wait a minute they're not dancing"

JENKINS
"There not old or white either!"

Firstly, where did the 300 come from 'cause that must have been an armada of pirates?

Secondly, I was happy with them dancing in one of those frenzied attacks.

Lastly, not being old and white just seems a bit awkward to me.

So, I'd prefer them to take over the bridge, kill Jenkins and the Captains just carries on chatting away.

Something like that, anyway.

This is ok. It's going to bug me if I don't say.. They're not old and white

Actually, I'd change that to

Captain
Wait a minute, that's not dancing!

Jenkins
I didn't know we had any Somalian passengers

I can see your point and it is well taken, I was reticent to state their colour but I had to keep it from being too blatant.

Like this.
i think whoever mentioned the numbers is right.
My understanding is that these pirates work in groups of tens rather than hundreds.
So it might be better if he hardly got a single response to the party invite but "there must be thirty or forty out there".
Nice, neat idea.
