Larry and Mr. Lunt do a commentary when they're doing The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything.

Transcript

Larry: (singing) Start at the very beginning

It's a great place to start.

Lunt: So this seems like a good place to start, eh?

Larry: This would be the beginning.

Lunt: The beginning of what?

Larry: (simultaneously) The beginning of the movie!

Lunt: The beginning of a beautiful friendship. Oh right.

Larry: Here we go, this is Larry the Cucumber!

Lunt: And this is Mr. Lunt.

Larry: On our second feature film that we produced.

Lunt: Yes, we co-produced.

Larry: Yeah, along with Jerry Bruckheimer.

Lunt: He helped out a little bit, but we had to fire him halfway through the film because he was a little demanding.

Larry: He wanted to do things with torpedoes. There was no torpedoes in the pirate days.

Lunt: Yeah, and Michael Bay.

Larry: Oh look, here I am!

Lunt: Why aren't I in that logo?

Larry: Well, you know... I don't know. Talk to Bob about it.

Lunt: Yeah, I will. I'll bring that up but good. So this is our second movie that we produced. What's your name?

Larry: Larry the Cucumber.

Lunt: And me, Mr. Lunt. The first one, you know, that said "Universal" on the front, because we did it with Universal this time.

Larry: Yeah.

Lunt: I don't remember why.

Larry: It was kind of hard to get these guys to learn how to swordfight, 'cause, you know, a lot of extras these days, they don't really take fencing.

Lunt: You know, back in the glory days of stage entertainment, everyone, they knew how to do three things. They knew how to sing, they knew how to dance, and they knew  swordplay.

Larry: That's right.

Lunt: But kids... kids today,  they don't know swordplay like they used to.

(cuts to Robert stopping Alexander)

Lunt: Do we get breaks while we're doing the commentary? You know, the last commentary, Larry the Cucumber had to go to the bathroom right in the middle of it, and it pretty much ruined the whole thing.

Larry: Rub it in, rub it in!

Lunt: Yeah. So the good news is, he went to the bathroom before the commentary this time. So I think we're in good shape.

Larry: Yeah, hope so.

Lunt: Hey, that guy! That crazy guy in the mecho suit...

Larry: That's right.

Lunt: Yeah, well, he was like, from a Japanese movie, right?

Larry: Yeah, I think he was from, I don't know, one of the Miyazaki films?

Lunt: Probably so.

Larry: Yeah.

Lunt: Because, of course, American films cannot have that king technology. We're not that advanced, so we have to borrow it from the world of anime.

Larry: Yeah. So it was pretty fun getting this guy to get the suit to work. Remember that?

Lunt: No.

Larry: Remember Robert trying to get the suit to work for the first time?

Lunt: I was in the bathroom that day.

Larry: Yeah.

Lunt: I had some bad fish.

(cuts to Eloise and Willory leaving their hideout)

Lunt: Hey, you know who else is watching the show with us?

Larry: Who's that?

Lunt: Archibald is here.

Larry: Oh, yeah! Willory himself!

Archibald: Yes, hello!
