Sparklies reveals that he knows all about pirate movies thanks to his dad, or something, and defines "The Pirate's Oath," which I mention only because it becomes important later. Basically, if the captain swears to something and reneges on that promise, the crew has every right to mutiny. And that's about it. Sparklies leads Phoebe away to chat some more about the genre as the camera cuts over to...
