Oh my, maybe someone of you guys who's first language is English (or who better understands some scenes than I do) can help me.
If it concerns to understand what people say, my English isn't that bad. But in some scenes of the live action episodes I give up. There's no way for me to understand what they are saying.
For example episode 05 - The Flying Dutchman: The first dialogue of Cap'n Beane and Scroggs, right previous the intro. I can hardly figure out what they are talking about!
Is there anybody here who can bring it into written form, so that someone like me gets the idea?
Thank you!

I'll have a look at the scripts on the DVD set when I have time.

Hey Tasha,
Why you don't try to search in Youtube, in Italian, and ask Primegood to translate for you? Maybe you found

That's the problem, I don't need a translation because I can figure out the meaning of the dialogues (for the most part). But I want to understand the original text! And for that there are many vocables that I don't understand by hearing (maybe because these are words I don't know so far or it is some kind of dialect, slang or idiom, or they are slurred).
I started to write the dialogues down because it is fun and a wonderful practice for me to learn English, and I'm proud of how much I do understand. But there are many breaks in the text which is frustrating.

But there are many breaks in the text which is frustrating. I pretty much know where you're coming from.  I absolutely love writing in English, and my "written" English is very good - if not fine. Anyway, I'm a partial fiasco when coming to "Spoken" English and trying to understand it along the way.  |
