A Dutchman Christmas

((The Dutchman Crew is having a peaceful Christmas Eve. Jimmylegs and Piper are tuning Christmas Carols on the radio. There is a giant tree on the bow of the ship and Palifico and Koleniko are decorating it.))

Jimmylegs: (Calmly) You know, this is the one time of year where I'm actually at peace.

Hadras: (pops up out of nowhere covered in a string of Christmas lights; begins singing) Light light light light! Light light light light! Light light light light! Light light light light! Light light light light light liiiiiiiight. LIGHT!

Jimmylegs: Was. Was at peace. (pulls out pistol and points at Hadras's head) Bye bye annoyance!

Piper: (grabs Jimmy's arm) No. No, Jim. Not on Christmas, dude.

Hadras: Yeah, Bo 'sun! It's too much of a happy celebration to die! (Begins marching in place) Light light light light-

Jimmy: Screw the Christmas cheer! (fires gun; Hadras begins marchign forward and bullet passes him)

Maccus: (comes up from hold-door in deck) Hey, crew! Merry Christmas! (Bullet shoots into the side of his head; Eyes roll in back of his head and he falls back below deck)

Palifico: He comes up saying Merry Christmas and being nice, and you shoot him in the head. Nice Jim, nice…

(Hadras is marching around doing absolutely nothing)

Piper: Geez, what's Captain gonna say about that?

Jimmy: He'll probably want to break out the "Maccus finally died" Jelly doughnut.

Davy: (cabin door flies open) Who-said-doughnut?!

Nicole: (pops out of Davy's beard) MAAAACCY!!!

Davy: (Looks down in shock) Where did you come from?!

Nicole: (jumps out of Davy's beard with a long tentacle tied to her ankle) WHEE! It's a

bungee cord!

Davy: No no no! I wouldn't want you jumping out of me if it were attached to my umbilical cord!

Crew: Eww…

Hadras: (pokes head up out of basket at Koleniko's feet. Top flies off of basket.) What's an umbilical cord?

Koleniko: It's something that sissy women have… like Captain!

Nicole: I must fly! (kicks off from Davy's chest and dives into deck door to below deck.)

Jimmy: (staring ahead) What she doing?

(Nicole retracts from below deck, dragging a limp Maccus)

Davy: Oh! You better not… (Nicole and Maccus get sulked back into Davy's beard) What!? (looks down) Get them out! Get them out! I know this girl and I know my crew! GET. THEM. OOOOOUT!!!! (frantically starts groping and clawing at beard) OUT! OUT! OUT! OUT! OOOOOUT!

Palifico: Captain, I'm sure that you'll be-

Davy: OOOOUT!!! (grabs scissors out of nowhere)

Jimmy: What he doing? (blanks out as Davy begins cutting off his tentacles one by one, enunciating the word "Out" with each one)

Koleniko: (now reading a newspaper and not really caring) Oh, look guys, half-off at sushi palace. Wanna go there for dinner?

Palifico: Sure. Or, we could just eat these little wriggling things on the ground. What are these? (picks one up; inspects it) Oh yeah… CALAMARI!!! (throws one at Koleniko, who just then decided to put down the newspaper. The tentacle hits him in the face and begins sliding down.)

Koleniko: (gives Palifico a death glare, then pries the tentacle off of his face and throws it at a now distracted Palifico)

Palifico: Oh, so it's war then, is it? Fine. (Nanoseconds later, both Koleniko and Palifico are dressed in full-body cameo. Face paint and everything.)

Koleniko: AAAAAH!!!

Palifico: HOOONOOOOR!!!

(Both of them begin madly throwing tentacles at each other.)

Jimmy: (walks back to the radio, everything going on behind him.) So much for my peaceful Christmas. And this all started…with Hadras.

Hadras: (pops up) What about me? (looks down at body still covered in lights. Throws hands in air.) LIIIIIIGHT!

Jimmy: (glares) Hadras, two words… Shut. Up.

Hadras: (ignores Jimmy) Light light light light! Light light light light!

(Jimmy sights and cranks up the radio. Jingle bombs from the "Jeff Dunham: A Very Special Christmas Special" is playing)

Jimmy: Give me a bomb, Achmed! Don't be a hog! (looks over at Christmas tree)

(Palifico and Koleniko are sobbing and clinging to each other's shoulders. They still have sushi plastered to their bodies)

Palifico: I'm- I'm sorry! I didn't mean it! It's just that you didn't care about Captain or Christmas, and- and it just got to me!

Koleniko: Neither did you! (wipes away tear) I'm sorry… I love you, dude!

Jimmy: Hey, Hadras? I think I've got a variation of your song.

Hadras: (clasps hands) Really?!

Jimmy: Yup! This is a shout-out to Koleniko and Palifico… (starts marching in place and singing) Gay! Gay! Gay! Gay!! Gay! Gay! Gay! Gay!! Gay-gay-gay-gay-gay-gay!

Hadras and Jimmy: (link arms around each other's shoulders whilst marching) GAAAAAAY!

Clanker: (From below) Hey! Shut the hell up! I'm sleepin'!

Hadras: You shut up!

Jimmy: (mumbles to self) Merry Christmas, Dutchman Crew… merry Christmas…

(All this other random stuff continues going on.)

Davy: (in response to Jimmy's comment, crosses arms across chest) Bah humbug!

(Maccus, now alive, and Nicole appear on either side of Davy)

Maccus and Nicole: BOO! (grin at Davy's girly shrieks of fright)

Nicole: Yup, Niko! He's a lady!

(Everybody laughs; Anna and Gypsy appear in front of everything.)

Both: Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night! Or nightmare! For where there's a will, we will find you!

Will: (runs across screen) I AM IN HIDING!!!

Anna: What the hell?

Gypsy: (throws hands in air) Don't look at me!

Anna: Point is…

Anna: Merry Christmas.

Gypsy: Happy Hanukkah.

Anna: Happy Kwanzaa.

Anna and Gypsy: HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

(Stay tuned for an iAnna Christmas!)


Anna: See? I did a good job, didn't I?

Gypsy: We.

Anna: Wii?! Where! (runs off)

Gypsy: NO! NOT WII! WE! AS IN, WE DID A GOOD JOB!!! (runs after her, stops and turns to readers) Hasta la bye bye!
