Part 6: Something of the Thread
![](1-mi_06_01.gif)
One more ingredient, and I can finally cleanse the world of short people once and for all!
![](2-mi_06_02.gif)
I need his clothes, the laundromat seems to be the place to begin.
![](3-znjs.png)
![](4-mi_06_03.gif)
I have to focus on the task at hand.
![](5-mi_06_04.gif)
Damn my weakness for shiny objects!
![](6-mi_06_05.gif)
I shall not rest until I have obtained the legendary bucket!
![](7-mi_06_06.gif)
Very well then. Let us engage in an epic telekinetic battle of minds!
![](8-guybrush1.gif)
Do you think you could let me have this bucket?
![](9-pirate1.gif)
No.
![](8-guybrush1.gif)
Please.
![](9-pirate1.gif)
No.
![](8-guybrush1.gif)
Pretty please?
![](9-pirate1.gif)
No.
![](8-guybrush1.gif)
Pretty pretty please?
![](9-pirate1.gif)
No.
![](8-guybrush1.gif)
Pretty please with sugar on top?
![](9-pirate1.gif)
No.
![](8-guybrush1.gif)
Pretty please with sugar and a cherry?
![](9-pirate1.gif)
No.
![](8-guybrush1.gif)
Pretty please with sugar, nuts and a cherry?
![](9-pirate1.gif)
No.
![](8-guybrush1.gif)
Pretty please with sugar, nuts, a cherry and chocolate sprinkles?
![](9-pirate1.gif)
No.
![](8-guybrush1.gif)
I really need it.
![](9-pirate1.gif)
No.
![](8-guybrush1.gif)
I really really need it.
![](9-pirate1.gif)
No.
![](8-guybrush1.gif)
I really desperately need it.
![](9-pirate1.gif)
No.
![](8-guybrush1.gif)
It's a matter of life and death.
![](9-pirate1.gif)
No.
![](8-guybrush1.gif)
If you don't give it to me i'll never speak to you again.
![](9-pirate1.gif)
No.
![](10-mi_06_07.gif)
Chairs are flying! Onlookers are screaming! But his strength of mind is something I have not encountered in all my years of battle...
![](8-guybrush1.gif)
I'll be your best friend.
![](9-pirate1.gif)
No.
![](8-guybrush1.gif)
I'll be your best friend forever and ever.
![](9-pirate1.gif)
No.
![](8-guybrush1.gif)
Aw, come on, be a pal.
![](9-pirate1.gif)
Oh... Alright.
![](11-mi_06_08.gif)
Hah! You have fought valiantly, but the battle is mine.
![](12-mi_06_09.gif)
Wait, I know these guys...
![](8-guybrush1.gif)
Yoo hoo!
![](13-mi_06_10.gif)
Melée Island, of course!
![](14-pirate3.gif)
What is it?
![](8-guybrush1.gif)
Did you ever get that circus started?
![](14-pirate3.gif)
Do we know you?
![](15-mi_06_11.gif)
![](8-guybrush1.gif)
I'm Guybrush, you tried to sell me the minutes of a PTA meeting in the last game, claiming it was a map.
![](14-pirate3.gif)
Map? Uh... I don't know what you're talking about.
![](8-guybrush1.gif)
No really--
![](14-pirate3.gif)
Why did you wake us up Gorbush?
![](16-mi_06_12.gif)
![](8-guybrush1.gif)
What are you guys doing up there?
![](9-pirate1.gif)
We're performing.
![](14-pirate3.gif)
That's right. Performing...
![](9-pirate1.gif)
That's what we do for a living now.
![](14-pirate3.gif)
You see, after our circus failed we started a catering business on a nearby island. It was quite lucrative.
![](8-guybrush1.gif)
Why aren't you still doing that?
![](14-pirate3.gif)
The governor of the island made us an offer we... er... couldn't refuse. So we sold him the business.
![](8-guybrush1.gif)
What did you do with the money?
![](9-pirate1.gif)
We sank the money into one of those new fangled glass bottomed boats.
![](14-pirate3.gif)
But it seems the salesman didn't have any glass for the boat, so he just left a big gaping hole there... We ended up stranded on a tiny desert island.
![](17-mi_06_13.gif)
![](8-guybrush1.gif)
I think it's past my bedtime.
![](14-pirate3.gif)
We met a philosopher on the island who told us something that changed our lives.
![](18-mi_06_14.gif)
![](8-guybrush1.gif)
That you should bore passers-by to tears with long stories?
![](14-pirate3.gif)
He told us that all the world is a stage and that we are merely players. So we became performance artists.
![](9-pirate1.gif)
In our current work we portray man's response to global environmental issues of a changing world.
![](8-guybrush1.gif)
How come you have to perform on that ledge?
![](14-pirate3.gif)
Ah... to show... the precarious nature of the situation...
![](9-pirate1.gif)
Right, right.
![](19-mi_06_15.gif)
![](8-guybrush1.gif)
I think you're overlooking the potential symbolism to be gained by your closeness to the earth.
![](14-pirate3.gif)
Err..
![](20-mi_06_16.gif)
![](14-pirate3.gif)
All right, you got us. We're really up here because... well...
![](21-mi_06_17.gif)
![](8-guybrush1.gif)
What?
![](9-pirate1.gif)
What's the word for it, Frank?
![](22-mi_06_18.gif)
![](8-guybrush1.gif)
Stupidity?
![](14-pirate3.gif)
It's the opposite of acrophobia. Something like "orcaphobia".
![](23-mi_06_19.gif)
![](8-guybrush1.gif)
Sounds more like "workaphobia" to me.
![](9-pirate1.gif)
Say what you will, we're not coming down.
![](8-guybrush1.gif)
See you later.
![](14-pirate3.gif)
We can scarecly contain our anticipation.
![](24-mi_06_20.gif)
Now, where was I?
![](25-mi_06_21.gif)
Ah yes, my sweet sweet bucket.
![](26-mi_06_22.gif)
I fought hard for this bucket, and dammit I'm going to enjoy it!
![](27-mi_06_23.gif)
![](28-mi_06_24.gif)
![](29-mi_06_25.gif)
![](30-mi_06_26.gif)
But I still have a job to do...
![](31-mi_06_27.gif)
![](32-mi_06_28.gif)
There has to be some of Largo's clothes around here somewhere...
![](33-mi_06_29.gif)
Wait, I have a master scheme!
![](34-mi_06_30.gif)
![](35-mi_06_31.gif)
It is to be the ultimate prank!
![](36-mi_06_32.gif)
Nobody's ever done anything as smart as this before in popular culture.
![](37-mi_06_33.gif)
Crease my new coat you son of a bitch! Well take this!
![](38-mi_06_34.gif)
Oh man, this is the best time of my life.
![](39-mi_06_35.gif)
![](40-mi_06_36.gif)
Okay, I'm starting to feel bad for the little guy...
![](41-mi_06_37.gif)
![](42-mi_06_38.gif)
...Nah.
![](43-mi_06_39.gif)
Heh, let's follow him and see what happens.
![](44-mi_06_40.gif)
![](45-mi_06_41.gif)
![](46-largo.gif)
Look, I want it free, and I want it tonight.
![](47-marty.gif)
Party tonight? Sure, I'll come.
![](46-largo.gif)
I'm talking about getting my laundry!
![](47-marty.gif)
Don't worry about me, I've been dry for three years.
![](46-largo.gif)
I said "I need it back tonight".
![](47-marty.gif)
Yeah, we'll stay out all night.
![](46-largo.gif)
This is useless.
![](48-mi_06_42.gif)
![](49-mi_06_43.gif)
Hmm, I wonder...
![](50-mi_06_44.gif)
![](51-mi_06_45.gif)
Aha! Laundry here I come!
![](52-mi_06_46.gif)
![](53-mi_06_47.gif)
![](47-marty.gif)
I'll see what we have ready for Mr LaGrande.
![](54-mi_06_48.gif)
![](55-mi_06_49.gif)
![](56-mi_06_50.gif)
![](57-mi_06_51.gif)
What could it be? Stylish shirt? Pants? Jockstrap?
![](58-mi_06_52.gif)
The plot thickens...
![](59-mi_06_53.gif)
Damn this is nice, I might have to keep this for my own personal... Never mind.
![](60-mi_06_54.gif)
We have the final ingredient! It's go time.
