    Would it be possible to work in a line about what type of ship is being used ?
    I.E.
    Captin:" is thne vessel a destroyer, warship, corvette ? I can nay see"
    Sir James:" Frigate Captin !"
    Captin:" correct F**k em, I'm with you all the way "

    Only a suggestion

    (A carriage)
    XXX: I thank'ee for yon delicious meal, Sir James.Who would have thought
    that Mince'n'Tatties, washed down with Irn-Bru, could be so good !
    Sir James: I prithee, take with me a nightcap- 'tis on mine company. I was hoping
    to offer you a stiff one as, I usually
    stick on a few extras, like an Aston Martin carriage, a new Rolex wrist sun dial,
    of some new leggings from Thomas of Ford, a bit tight but the do show off
    my fantastic booty !, it bringith all the maids to the yard.
    XXX: Alack, nay, for tomorrow shalt be a day of much business.
    (She enters her chambers and opens a small box of tissues. Jaws emerges)
    XXX: What the fu.... how'd you get in there !!
    (Jaws doth seize the lady and she screams. Enter Sir James, who doth battle with ye giant,
    throwing the giant from the carriage )
    Sir James:" He did pop in for a quick Bite "
    XXX:" My lord, thou art injured "
    Sir James:" tis nothing, just a slight prick ..... or splinter from tossing out that knave"
    XXX:" I'd love to see your er? ... splinter, why not lie down and let me look upon it "

    In scene one, could the varlet try to cut Bond's rope " scared of heights, Sir James" as Bond reaches up
    To untie a knot on the varlet's rope saying " Frayed knot, old boy" sending him falling away with a scream !

    Act 1, Scene 1. The cliffs of Dover. Under the bluebirds, Sir James doth walk with a pretty damsel.
    Damsel:" Oh sir James, yon gull has't left a residue on mine dress, has't thee some paper ?"
    Sir James:" Don't be silly wench, yon gull will be miles away by now !", But ‘Tis most pleasant here-
    I do bethink I should ne’er walk with anyone else"
    As Jaws and Varlet appear sir James asks ..
    " Is't this a place for the walking of thine dog ?"

    "For security reasons, could the ship be being transported on the back of another ship, to fool the French.
    And to be even sneakier, the transport ship was much smaller, They'd never expect that ! "

    :)) That's all there now, thanks TP!

    Act 2, Scene 2 would be Sir James meets Corrine if we decide we need this.
    And Act 2, Scene 4 is when he meets Gala Goodhead, which we do need. Anyone like this...?

    Sir James: Thou art a woman! (Gala looks behind Sir James) For what do ye search?
    Gala: Why, I do seek Dr Watson for thou art most surely Sherlock.

    or
    Sir James: Thou art a woman!
    Gala: Thou hast scored ten out of ten, Sir Sherlock.

    or...?

    Could the much smaller ship be called HMS Trust the RAF perhaps
    Meeting Connie, could be like the carriage ride to Dracula's castle ?

    Sir James: " is it really necessary to drive quite so fast?"
    Corrine: "More often than you'd think."

    Act II, SCENE IV. (Not finished but it's a start and needs more work -{ )

    Sir James: Thou art a woman! (Gala looks behind Sir James) For what do ye search?
    Gala: Why, I do seek Dr Watson, for thou art most surely Sherlock.
    Sir James: Indeed my lady, but that was some years 'ere this... And the good Doctor and I will not meet again until A View to a Kill. So, art though training to be a sailor?
    Gala: Fully qualified I am, Sir James, on loan from NASA - the national aquanautical sailing administration. Come, I shall show thee how we train.
    Gala shows him to a small dinghy moored in dry dock along the castle moat.
    Sir James: Of course! It simulates the motion of the ocean.
    Gala: This dinghy was built by The Hughes Corporation. Would you care to see if you could rock the boat, Sir James? If thou becomes seasick, thou needs only deflate thy dinghy here.
    Sir James: Seasick? I would like to know where thou got'st the notion...
    Sir James enters the dinghy, as a short Chinaman enters.
    Gala: Chang? Or is it Charr? I never can tell...
    Chang-Charr: Thy master awaits, my lady. I shall take care of Sir James, heheh.
    The dinghy starts to move, slowly at first, then faster, as Chang -Charr spins the mooring rope ever faster. Sir James becomes seasick.
    "How was your lamb?" "Skewered. One sympathises."

    Continuing the coach journey to Drax-ulal's castle .......

    Connie:" all that you see from here on belongith to Sir Hugo "
    Sir James:" he doth own this carriage and horses ?"
    Connie: " Aye, my Liege "
    Sir James:" and that tavern ...."
    Connie:" aye, sir James"
    Sir James:" and that cottage ...."
    Connie:"aye, sir James "
    ( After many questions from Sir James .....)
    Sir James:" he ownith this farm house ?"
    Connie:" For Christendom's Sake Sir James, Sir Hugo is a great lord and owns
    Freaking everthing !!!! "
    Sir James:" he ownith a lot !"
    Connie:" Yea, Whatever "
    ( Later passing Sir Hugo's castle ........)
    Connie:" Look you well Sir James, there are some of the new Raker of moons crews
    Getting their training, Sir Hugo is paying for it all from his own purse "
    Sir James:" I did serve in the Queen's navy. Although the training then was, merely to
    Enter a tavern, drink an ale. If the Queen's shilling was at the bottom of your tankard
    You'd get coshed, and wake up next morning in a Commander's uniform on the bridge
    Of a frigate "
    Connie:" Tis very different today Sir James, many top Wizards have Introduced new
    Training methods. The shilling has gone, as too much of't a choking hazard, and no
    Getting coshed anymore. At the end of training as the cadets walk past, we all drop
    Privies on their heads, it's know to all as the passing out ceremony. Now we are here
    Cavendish the butler will lead you to Sir Hugo's throne room "
    Sir James:" Good idea, I needith the privy apace "

    Both of those hit the spot, guys! Will fit them in later.

    This one just occured to me, for during the ride to the castle:

    Sir James: And fair Corinne, willt thee tell me thine story?
    Corinne: The story of... O, 'twill be of no interest.

    (If anyone gets that one it'll be interesting....)

    In the pts sequence as the knave falls to his death as he screams as he falls , might
    Sir James say something like " sounds like the Count Wilhelm " as in the Wilhelm scream ?

    When Drax introduces the two ladies before they leave, we could have an opportunity for
    A guest spot for Lady Rose and Lady Lexi ?

    Act 2, Scene 3. A villain’s lair.

    (Sir James enters as Drax ist playing a celeste for two beauteous maidens. Drax turns to greet Sir James, as the celeste plays on for a few seconds without him)
    https://youtu.be/9nNGlaiVypU
    Drax: Sir James, allow me to introduce before they leave us, the Lady Rose and the Lady Lexi.
    Sir James: I bid thee greetings, fair ladies. (The ladies exit)
    Drax: Thine renown ist thine vanguard, Sir James, most honoured I am that thine masters hath sent thee on a mission so delicate.
    Sir James: Wherefore ist mine mission delicate, Sir Hugo?
    Drax: Why, surely thou hast come to apologise for thine masters having lost mine ship.
    To lose one ship may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness."
    Do you know your Wilde Bond ?"
    Sir James:" only in the bed chamber Sir Hugo !"
    Sir James: No wreckage hast been found, ‘tis not certain that the ship was lost.
    (Enter Chang, or Cha, or Charr, whatever he's called with a tray)
    Drax: Ah, ‘tis time for mine favourite repast- cucumber sandwiches!
    Sir James, "aw! no stuffed sheep's head then, such a pity !"
