**Wags**: Oh, I'm beginning to wonder just who the second ballerina is. *(to camera pointing to the viewers, while Captain Feathersword does his shushing gestures to tell them no.)* You think it's not a ballerina? You think the second ballerina is Captain Feathersword? Well, let's have a look at these ballerinas. Well, the first ballerina has a beautiful tiara on her head. The second ballerina... has a pirate hat on his head. You could be right. Well, the first ballerina has a beautiful blue tutu.

Well, the first ballerina has a beautiful ballet shoes tied up with ribbon. The second ballerina has... pirate boots tied up with ribbon. I think you're right. I think you're Captain Feathersword.
