"Th-Three! Three! Ohh! Three!" They all say as they try to open the barrels
Cut at night, showing the half moon
"Uh, you ready? Ah, okay. One more. Let's go." Tulio says.
"One, two, three!" They all say for the last time. Their barrel lids pop open to reveal that sailors were staring at the trio.
"Excuse us." Tulio begins.
"Okay. We're outta here." Carissa says
"Who ordered the, uh, pickles?" Miguel and Tulio ask
The men lock Tulio, Miguel and Carissa.
"Cortes!" Miguel and Carissa say.
"My crew was as carefully chosen as the disciples of Christ. And I will not tolerate stowaways." Cortes says
Tulio gulps.
"You will be flogged. And when we put into Cuba to resupply, God willing, you will be flogged some more, and then enslaved on the sugar plantations for the rest of your miserable lives. To the brig." Cortes demands.
"All right! Cuba!" Carissa says
The guard takes Tulio, Miguel and Carissa to the brig, then cut to a man whistling, bringing a bowl of apples.
"Hey, Altivo! Ah-ta-ta, not for you! You're on half rations. Orders from Cortes." The man says to Altivo.
Then a apple drops on Miguel's shirt, then hearing Tulio banging on the wall
While Carissa sighs and hums
"So, uh, how's the... How's the escape plan coming?" Miguel asks finally.
"All right. All right. Wait! I'm getting something." Tulio says. Carissa sits up to listen
"Yeah."
Tulio pauses, the he continues banging on the wall "Okay! Here's the plan. In the dead of night, we grab some provisions..."
"Mm-hm." Miguel says as Carissa walks over to them
"...hijack one of those longboats, and then we row back to Spain like there's no manana!" Tulio says
"Back to Spain, yeah?" Carissa asks
"Yeah." Tulio replies
"In a rowboat." Miguel responds.
"You got it!" Tulio says
"Great. Sensational. And that-that's your plan, is it?" Carissa asked.
"That's pretty much it." Tulio admits.
"Well, I like it. So, how de we get on deck?" Miguel asks.
"Umm. In the dead of night, you and I grab some provisions, hijack one of those longboats..." Tulio starts again
"Uh, great." Carissa groans.
"Well, okay, what's your idea, smart girl?" Tulio asks
"Wh-Wh-What do you mean? Don't ask me that! You're the one with the plans." Carissa agrues.
Miguel looks at the apple as Carissa and Tulio agrue.
"Wait, I... I have an idea. Uh, come on. Give me... Give me a boost." Miguel says.
After 5 minutes Miguel is being held up by Carissa and Tulio.
"Hey, Altivo." Miguel calls softly.
He tosses the apple back and forth in his hands
"Altivo." Migurl repeats
Altivo notices and tries to get the apple
"You want a nice apple? Come and get it. You have to do a trick for me first." Miguel says.
