Sarah Mulhollen - Billy Tyla Colby - Flashback guy (Captain Graveling) Jenna Conner - Red Whiskers

__Theme__: Hornell High School Girls


 * Captain Graveling**: Billy is so good looking. I'm pretty sure everyone loves him except for Red Whiskers, he hates him! I don't get why though...he has never done anything to anyone. I remember when Billy first arrived...I'll never forget what happened with him and Red Whiskers....//fades to Red Whisker scene//

In a quiet moment, Graveling reproaches Ratcliffe for stealing Billy from the //Rights-of-Man.// After eliciting a meager apology, Graveling proceeds to lament his loss, recounting the tale of Billy’s days on board the //Rights-of-Man.// He recalls Billy’s arrival amidst a quarreling crew, the rapid rise of his popularity and authority, and his swift and judicious use of force at necessary moments. He relates a story in which a sailor referred to as “the Red Whiskers,” the only member of the crew who disliked Billy, tried to bully the young sailor. When the Red Whiskers punched Billy, Billy responded with a forceful blow of his own. To the surprise of all, Billy’s violent response actually pacified the Red Whiskers’ hatred for Billy, turning that hatred to love. Graveling details the love felt by all for Billy the peacekeeper and dreads the encroaching discord that will doubtlessly return to the //Rights-of-Man// upon Billy’s departure.
