The Pirate King
- [as Major-General Stanley has just entered the scene, all except the Pirate King sing to the tune of "Pirate King"]
- Samuel: For he is a Major General!
- Daughters: He is, hurrah for the Major General!
- Major General Stanley: And it is, it is a GLORIOUS thing to be a Major General.
- All: IT IS! Hurrah for the Major General, hurrah for the Major General!
- The Pirate King: That's the same as the "Pirate King" tune!
- Pirate King: Do you mean that in order to save his contemptible life, he dared to impress upon our credulous simplicity?
- [during an incredibly fast-paced song]
- Pirate King: This-particularly-rapid-unintelligible-patter-isn't-generally-heard-and-if-it-is-it-doesn't-matter!
- Fredric: You make it a point of never attacking a weaker party than yourselves, and when you attack a stronger one you invariably get thrashed!
- [Pirates approach him with great indignation]
- Pirate King: [Holding up finger] There's some truth in that.
- Frederic: OH, HORROR!
- The Pirate King: What's the matter?
- Frederic: Ought I tell you? No, no I cannot! And yet as one of your band...
- The Pirate King: SPEAK OUT! I-CHARGE-YOU-BY-THAT-SENSE-OF-CONSCIENTIOUSNESS-TO-WHICH-WE-HAVE-NEVER-YET-APPEALED-IN-VAIN!
- [All are astonished at this feat, including the Pirate King himself]
- Pirate King: Yeah.
