	and swordfighting? I know this isn't exactly a boat question but I'm guessing some of you guys know all about it. That's awesome, Haapa-em! You speak the language!

	We'll keel-haul ye, ye mutinous swine... Land ho!. Swab the decks, ye salty swine... Land ho!. I'll cut ye, ye yellow-bellied bilge-rat... Ye'll meet the rope's end for that, me bucko!. Dead men tell no tales, ye lily-livered swine... Belay that talk!. Enough with yer bilge, ye pox-faced kraken... Shiver me timbers!. Me hearties, ye parrot-loving landlubber... Scupper that!. I'll reduce yer ship to rubble, ye pox-faced pirate... Shiver me timbers!. Yarr! I be a pirate, ye pox-faced landlubber... Blast ye!. We'll plunder yer booty, ye mutinous parrot... Ye'll meet the rope's end for that, me bucko!. We'll keel-haul ye, ye yellow-bellied pirate... Shiver me timbers!. hows that

	Yer mother cleans bilges! When the weather was bad enough the crew sometimes had to go potty inside the boat. Human waste would collect in the bilge.

	Unless for lead characters, none at all. Actors who speak cost more than extras. Furthermore, the dialog usually will pertain to the story. So, if character A knows something about character B, then the talk during the fight will be taunting, ridiculing, or even revealing (as in showing some power over the other because of the secrets he knows). So, unless it progresses the story, any talk during the fight would likely be the grunts and groans of exertion and pain of people in combat.

	You stinky-head, put down your nasty little knife, or I will give you such a pinch.
