Zebedee, Johnny Cuba and others in “Unfinished Business”

I don't like it 'ere. It's out of bounds to shipping…

Too bad. Now I need Coal, right away! And be quick about it or I'll break yer stack!

You mean steal it?!

Did I say steal? Just get it when nobody's looking!

Yes sir… Right away, sir…

And DON'T try anything fancy! Or you'll find yourself at the bottom of the harbour with cement in your hold! [cackles]

Captain Star

[narrating] Zebedee was now in a terrible situation. Johnny Cuba would sink him if he didn't help him. And because of something that happened years ago between those two, he knew Captain Zero would sink him if he did. So, he couldn't go and tell the Captain, could he? While Zebedee was trying to work this out, he saw the two Star switchers out in the bay struggling with Scuttlebutt Pete.

Come on, you two! Get sorted out or you won't get me home before the storm breaks!

I cannot hold ya, man!

We're doing our best!

Do better than that! You've got to!

I can't, the wind's too strong!

What're we gonna do?!

If only I could fix one more line! Oi! Zebedee! Give us a hand!

Sorry, can't stop! Important job to do.

Just hold him steady while I get another line aboard, that's all!

Why should I?

Well, 'cos we're in trouble, that's why!

And you owe us one for the barge!

Alright, just this once, but don't tell Captain Zero!

That's it… Thanks, Zebedee.

Aye, that's just what we needed.

And not a word, Scuttlebutt!

Me?! I never gossip! Never!

That'll be the day. If Captain Zero knows I helped Star tugs, I'm Rust!
