(Shows Warner Animation Group logo)

(The camera pans down from the logo to a calm ocean on a sunny day. On the sea is a large gray naval ship. A mermaid appears on the surface of the ocean. She has lavender skin, long purple hair, and light blue eyes. She has woken up from her beauty sleep. A red fish appears and swims next to her. They look around and see the ship. It's sailing across the sea to Honolulu, Hawaii. But then, the mermaid and the fish look at the camera.)

Mermaid: (looking at the camera) Oh! Hello, everyone! I didn't see you here. I'm Coral.

Red Fish: (looking at the camera) And I'm Lenny. Welcome to the movie!

Coral: (looking at the camera) I'm going to tell you a story.

Lenny: Uh, what kind of story, Coral?

Coral: Well, Lenny, it's the story... (looks at the camera) of a one-eyed sailor who gains strength just by eating spinach. His name is Popeye. (turns to Lenny) Come with me. (looks at the camera) You too. I'll show you.

(The camera follows Coral and Lenny as they swim to the ship and look through one of its windows.)

Lenny: Wait a minute. I don't see Popeye here.

Coral: That's because he isn't born yet, Lenny, but he will be. (looks at the camera) However, there's someone else I want to show you.

(Coral and Lenny look through the window. The scene cuts to a Navy sailor in the ship. He's an engineer who is working in the ship's boiler room.)

Coral: (off-screen) This is Poopdeck Pappy, one of the greatest sailors in the United States Navy.

Lenny: (off-screen) Is he Popeye's father?

Coral: (off-screen) Well, not yet.

(While working, Poopdeck Pappy meets an amateur sailor. He's an engineer too.)

Amateur Sailor: Hello there.

Poopdeck Pappy: Huh? Who are you?

Amateur Sailor: I'm Eugene. I joined the Navy yesterday, and here I am, maintaining the fire in the boiler with you. So, what's your name?

Poopdeck Pappy: Call me Poopdeck Pappy.

Eugene: Whatever you say, Poopdeck Pappy.

(So, Eugene and Poopdeck Pappy work together to maintain the fire in the boiler and become friends. The scene cuts to the ship on the ocean. Soon, it arrives at the Honolulu Harbor in Honolulu, Hawaii. Eugene and Poopdeck Pappy leave the ship and walk out of the harbor. Then, Coral and Lenny appear on the surface of the ocean.)

Coral: You must stay here, Lenny. Fish like you can't stand on land, but mermaids can. Watch.

(Coral jumps out of the water and lands on a dock. Her green mermaid tail transforms into human legs. As a result, her mermaid outfit transforms into that of a normal human lady. She's wearing a short sleeve purple blouse, a green knee-length skirt, and green high heel sandals. She gets up and stands on two feet. She looks at herself and is quite impressed with her human appearance.)

Coral: Nice. I can get used to this. (looks at the camera) Follow me.

(The camera follows Coral as she runs to a bar in the city of Honolulu. There, she sees Poopdeck Pappy and Eugene in the bar through the window. She looks at the camera.)

Coral: This is where Poopdeck Pappy met Roxy, his future wife... at a bar in Honolulu, Hawaii.

(Coral looks through the window again. The scene cuts to Poopdeck Pappy and Eugene inside the bar.)

Eugene: Can I get you a beer?

Poopdeck Pappy: No thanks, Eugene. I don't drink.

Eugene: I was just asking. Oh well. More beer for me.

(Soon, a bartender arrives. She's a beautiful young woman with smooth, milky skin, long ginger hair, and green eyes. Her name is Roxy.)

Roxy: What can I get you, boys?

Eugene: Two mugs of beer, please.

Poopdeck Pappy: And for me, a glass of water.

Roxy: (laughs at Poopdeck Pappy) I'm sorry, sailor, but only true sailors drink beer, not water. If you are a true sailor, can you prove it?

Poopdeck Pappy: I... I think... I can. Hand me a mug of beer.

Roxy: Coming right up.

(Roxy prepares a mug of beer for Poopdeck Pappy. She gives it to him, and he takes a sip.)

Poopdeck Pappy: That's the taste of beer! This is it!

(Poopdeck Pappy holds up the mug for everyone to see. They all laugh at him.)

Poopdeck Pappy: No? Well, how about now? (downs the entire mug of beer) Ha! I drank it! Now, do you believe me? That I'm a true sailor?

(Roxy, impressed by Poopdeck Pappy's attempt to prove that he is a true sailor, gives him another mug of beer.)

Roxy: Yes. I believe you are. What's your name?

Poopdeck Pappy: The name's Poopdeck Pappy. What's yours?

Roxy: My name is Roxanne. But you can call me Roxy.

Poopdeck Pappy: (shakes Roxy's hand) It's a pleasure to meet you, Roxy. Two more mugs of beer, please.

Roxy: Coming right up.

(Roxy prepares two mugs of beer for Poopdeck Pappy and gives them to him.)

Roxy: Here you go, sir.

Poopdeck Pappy: Thanks. Say, Roxy, would you like to go out with me sometime?

Roxy: Yes, I would!

Poopdeck Pappy: Great!

(Poopdeck Pappy and Roxy hug each other.)

Poopdeck Pappy: I must leave now. I have a job to do in the Navy. I love you, Roxy.

Roxy: Okay. See you later, Poopdeck Pappy.

(Poopdeck Pappy waves goodbye to Roxy and leaves the bar with Eugene. The scene fades to Poopdeck Pappy and Roxy at the beach five months later. They get married.)

Coral: (off-screen) Five months later, Poopdeck Pappy and Roxy got married.

(The scene then fades to a montage of Poopdeck Pappy and Roxy building a sailboat together.)

Coral: (off-screen) After they got married, they built a boat together.

(The montage ends when Poopdeck Pappy and Roxy look at the finished boat. Then, they push it into the ocean. Once it's floating on the water, Poopdeck Pappy and Roxy get on the boat and start sailing to Santa Monica, California.)

Coral: (off-screen) Then, they began to sail to Santa Monica, California.

(The scene cuts to a stormy sky nine months later. A lightning bolt appears in a flash. The scene cuts to Poopdeck Pappy's boat on the stormy sea.)

Coral: (off-screen) Unfortunately, they encountered a typhoon during their voyage.

(The scene cuts to Poopdeck Pappy steering the boat.)

Coral: (off-screen) And while Poopdeck Pappy was doing his best to prevent his ship from getting damaged by the typhoon...

(The scene cuts to Roxy in her room. She's laying in her bed and is about to give birth.)

Coral: (off-screen) ...Roxy gave birth to a baby boy.

(The scene cuts back to Poopdeck Pappy steering the boat. He stops and goes below deck to see Roxy in her room. She has given birth to a baby boy.)

Poopdeck Pappy: (to Roxy) I can't believe it! Roxy, you've given birth to a baby boy in the middle of the storm! (to Poopdeck Pappy's son) Look at you! You're beautiful! Hello there, young lad.

(Poopdeck Pappy hugs and tickles his baby son.)

Poopdeck Pappy: So, what are we going to name him?

Roxy: We'll call him Popeye.

Poopdeck Pappy: Popeye. I like that.

(Poopdeck Pappy and Roxy go above deck to watch the storm with Popeye, their son. The scene cuts to Coral and Lenny watching them on their boat.)

Coral: And Popeye is his name.

Lenny: Popeye, huh? Is that what this story is about?

Coral: Of course, Lenny. (looks at the camera) This is the story of a one-eyed sailor named Popeye.

(The camera pans up through the storm clouds to the sun in the clear blue sky.)

POPEYE

(The camera pans down into the storm clouds and to the boat on the ocean. It's rocking back and forth, the wind is howling, and the rain is pouring hard. The scene cuts to Poopdeck Pappy steering the boat.)

Poopdeck Pappy: We must seek shelter immediately! The storm is too strong for this boat!

(So, Poopdeck Pappy sails on as he seeks shelter from the storm for him, Roxy, and Popeye. While Poopdeck Pappy is looking for shelter, Roxy takes good care of Popeye. But then, she notices he's getting sick.)

Roxy: Uh oh.

Poopdeck Pappy: What's wrong?

Roxy: Our son is getting sick. This isn't good.

Poopdeck Pappy: Hold on, Roxy. You too, Popeye, my son. We're almost there.

Part 2: The Sea Hag/Poopdeck Pappy and Roxy Rescue Popeye/The Search for the Ruby Begins
(The scene cuts to Coral and Lenny on the ocean.)

Lenny: Wait a minute. Popeye's sick? (gasps) Oh no! Oh no no no no no no no! It can't be! How horrible!

Coral: I know. His parents are going to take him to an island somewhere in this ocean.

Lenny: What kind of island is it?

Coral: Well, Lenny, it's small but very dangerous.

Lenny: (gasps) Oh, my goodness! They're sending him there?! I can't believe they would do something like that! How could anyone go there?!

Coral: Lenny, relax. It's just a story.

Lenny: Just a story? The story you're telling is the account of what's about to happen to that poor baby! I can't look!

Coral: Don't worry, Lenny. I'll see to it myself. You should stay here. I'll be right back.

Lenny: Oh. Okay. Well, hurry back, Coral.

(Coral turns around and starts swimming as she begins to follow the boat. The scene cuts to the boat sailing across the stormy sea. After a few minutes, the storm passes. The wind dies down. The boat stops moving. The scene cuts to Poopdeck Pappy, Roxy, and Popeye on the boat.)

Roxy: Are we there yet?

Poopdeck Pappy: Yes, we are.

(Popeye, Poopdeck Pappy, and Roxy have arrived at a small but dangerous island surrounded by shipwrecks. The island is called Plunder Island. At the center of the island is the largest shipwreck of them all. That's where a sea witch lives.)

Poopdeck Pappy: Well, this is it. We're here.

Roxy: We can't land here. We're too close to the sea witch.

Poopdeck Pappy: But our son is sick. Perhaps the sea witch can help us heal him.

Roxy: I don't like this at all. Let's explore the island a little bit.

Poopdeck Pappy: Fine.

(So, Poopdeck Pappy, Popeye, and Roxy explore Plunder Island. They walk around it and look around. The island is indeed dangerous.)

Poopdeck Pappy: Well, we're done exploring the island. Let's go see the sea witch now.

(Poopdeck Pappy, Popeye, and Roxy walk away. The scene cuts to Coral swimming towards Plunder Island. She arrives on shore and transforms into a human again.)

Coral: (looks at the camera) This is Plunder Island. This is where Poopdeck Pappy and Roxy took their son, Popeye. They were visiting a sea witch who lives on the island. You don't want to mess with her. She's dark to the core.

(The scene cuts to Poopdeck Pappy, Popeye, and Roxy at the center of the island. They enter the huge shipwreck. Inside it is a large cave. When they reach the cave, they encounter several sea monsters. They escort them to the sea witch's house. They get inside the house only to see a huge clam. Then, the clam opens, revealing the sea witch herself inside it.)

The Sea Hag: Hello there. I've been expecting you.

Poopdeck Pappy: So, you must be the sea witch, huh?

The Sea Hag: Yep. That's who I am. You can call me the Sea Hag. Now, how can I be of service?

Poopdeck Pappy: My wife just gave birth to a baby boy. His name is Popeye. He's very sick, and he's going to die. Can you please help us heal our son?

(Poopdeck Pappy reveals Popeye to the sea witch. She takes a close look at him. Then, she notices that he's one-eyed like her.)

The Sea Hag: That's interesting. I have something that can help you heal your son.

(The sea witch cackles with laughter and opens her other eye, revealing a ruby. She uses the power from the ruby in her eye to cure Popeye but at the cost of his soul. Popeye becomes a mindless, one-eyed sea zombie that the sea witch can use as she pleases.)

The Sea Hag: Your son is cured. But now, he's a sea zombie, and I own him. He's my slave now.

Poopdeck Pappy: You're a monster! I'll never let you take away our son!

The Sea Hag: Oh, really? Watch me. Minions, escort them out.

(The sea witch's minions grab Poopdeck Pappy and Roxy by the arms and escort them out of her house.)

Roxy: Wait! You can't take away our son! He needs us, and we need him!

(One of the sea witch's minions opens the door, and the other two kick Poopdeck Pappy and Roxy out of her house. The first minion then closes the door once they're outside. Popeye is now alone with the sea witch inside her house.)

The Sea Hag: Minions, leave me. I want to have some fun with my new slave.

(The sea witch's minions leave her room, and she approaches Popeye.)

The Sea Hag: Come along, Popeye. Let's have some fun.

(The scene cuts to the sea witch's house in the cave. The door opens, revealing the sea witch. The enslaved baby Popeye follows her out of her house, and she leads him to a large cave in the shipwreck at the center of the island. In the cave, there is a big mermaid lagoon. The sea witch takes Popeye to the lagoon to see some mermaids. Three mermaids appear in the lagoon and see Popeye with the sea witch.)

The Sea Hag: Mermaids, meet my sea zombie slave, Popeye.

(The mermaids study Popeye and then swim away. The sea witch looks at Popeye. He's scared.)

The Sea Hag: Oh, they're just shy. They'll get used to you eventually.

(The scene fades to Popeye in the sea witch's bedroom later that night. He's sleeping with her in her bed.)

Coral: (off-screen) But Poopdeck Pappy and Roxy couldn't bear to leave Popeye alone with the sea witch. So, they got a few tricks up their sleeves. For example, they disguised themselves as her minions to rescue their enslaved son.

(Two of the sea witch's minions enter the room and see Popeye. They turn out to be his parents in disguise.)

Roxy: Hello, Popeye. It's us, your parents.

Poopdeck Pappy: We're here to get you out.

(Roxy and Poopdeck Pappy gently pick Popeye up. Poopdeck Pappy places Popeye on Roxy's arms, and she walks out of her room with him. Once Popeye and Roxy are out, Poopdeck Pappy steals the ruby from the sea witch's eye socket. He replaces the ruby with a stone and leaves her room with it. When the sea witch wakes up, she finds out that Popeye and the ruby are missing. She screams in fright. Her minions enter her room to see her.)

Minion #1: What's the matter?

Minion #2: What are you screaming about?

The Sea Hag: My slave and jewel are missing! Help me find them!

Minion #1: Yes, master. Come on, boys. Let's go.

(The sea witch's minions leave to find Popeye and the ruby. Elsewhere on the island, Poopdeck Pappy and Roxy take their baby son to the shore at the end of the island. They hide in one of the shipwrecks on the island to avoid getting caught by the sea witch's minions.)

Roxy: What are we going to do now?

Poopdeck Pappy: I don't know. We'd better get out of here.

(But then, Poopdeck Pappy and Roxy sense the sea witch's minions getting closer towards them. They look for something to hide Popeye in. Eventually, they see a crate of spinach. They look at him with the ruby.)

Poopdeck Pappy: Popeye, whatever happens, your mother and I will love you always and forever.

(Poopdeck Pappy and Roxy hug Popeye. Roxy opens the top lid of the crate of spinach. Then, Poopdeck Pappy puts Popeye inside it. The crate is so large that it will hold him and the ruby. He sinks into the spinach. Roxy looks at Popeye one last time before closing the top lid of the crate. Then, she and Poopdeck Pappy push the crate away onto the ocean as the sea witch's minions arrive and grab hold of them.)

Poopdeck Pappy: Goodbye, Popeye. We'll always remember you.

(Popeye watches as his parents are taken away by the sea witch's minions to the dungeon below her house. The sea witch looks for Popeye and the ruby, but he's gone. She screams, and the sea turns to foam. Her minions are confused and cannot find him.)

The Sea Hag: You fools! If the ruby isn't returned by the seventh equinox of the crystal moon on the night of a magpie's crow, all will be lost!

Minion #1: Uh, master, when you say the ruby should be returned by the seventh equinox of the crystal moon on the night of a magpie's crow, that means it will be returned in, like, 21 years.

Minion #2: Yeah! We've got plenty of time to search for that ruby and return it to you.

(Suddenly, the sea witch's magic is beginning to wear off.)

The Sea Hag: Oh no! You see? The magic's wearing off already! Now, go!

(The sea witch's minions get into their boats and start searching for baby Popeye and the ruby. They will continue to search until the end of the seventh equinox of the crystal moon on the night of a magpie's crow. The camera pans to the crate of spinach floating on the ocean. The scene cuts to Popeye and the ruby safe inside the crate. While he's eating spinach, the ruby makes it magical. So, every time he eats spinach, it gives him superhuman strength.)

Coral: (off-screen) But then, in the crate, something strange happened. The ruby made the spinach in the crate magical. So, every time Popeye eats spinach, it gives him superhuman strength.

(Suddenly, a giant octopus arrives and is about to eat Popeye. But then, he eats some spinach and swallows it. He gets stronger because of it and attacks the octopus. He uses him as a baby rattle and then as a jump rope. The octopus can't stand Popeye. So, he puts him back inside the crate and rocks him to sleep. Popeye gets tired and sleeps in the crate. Once he's asleep, the octopus wipes his forehead and sighs in relief. Then, he swims away. The crate floats onward on the ocean with Popeye sleeping in it.)

Part 3: Popeye Arrives at Sea Haven/Popeye at the Orphanage
(The scene fades to the spinach crate floating on the ocean. The scene cuts to Popeye sleeping inside the crate. When he wakes up, he finds himself still inside the crate. He looks through a hole in it and sees only water. He's still on the ocean. He eats some more spinach. Suddenly, his strength grows again. Popeye opens the top lid of the crate and climbs out. He's a little bit dizzy, but he's okay.)

Baby Popeye: Mama? Dada?

(Popeye looks around and sees only the ocean.)

Baby Popeye: Mama! Dada!

(As Popeye is shouting for his parents, he accidentally drops the magic ruby into the sea. He watches as it sinks to the ocean floor. He gets back inside the crate and sleeps. Two dolphins appear and watch Popeye float away in the crate. They look at each other and dive into the ocean. The crate drifts away on the ocean from Plunder Island. Coral and Lenny appear on the surface of the ocean again and watch the crate float away. They then look at the camera.)

Coral: (looking at the camera) Well, here's the sad part of this story. Popeye drifted away from that dreadful Plunder Island, and he never saw his parents again.

Lenny: Yeah. It's a real bummer.

Coral: I know. But this next part should be happier.

(The scene fades to Popeye sleeping inside the crate the next morning. He wakes up and hears a ship's horn blowing. He looks through the hole in the crate and sees ships on the ocean. Then, he sees a seaside village. There are houses and streets in the village. There are even people living in it. Eventually, the crate arrives at a beach.)

Coral: (off-screen) Eventually, Popeye arrived at a seaside village called Sea Haven.

(Several beachgoers look at the crate on the beach. One of them, a big beautiful woman, opens the crate and sees Popeye and a lot of spinach in it.)

Woman: Well, would you look at that? It's a baby.

Coral: (off-screen) There, he was greeted by a nice lady with a nice smile.

(The other three beachgoers see Popeye in the crate of spinach. They are children. The first of the three children is a boy. He's a rascal who is pointing at Popeye and laughing. The second is a girl. She's the boy's younger sister. The third is another boy. All of them seem very happy to see Popeye. The big beautiful woman gets him out of the crate and shows him to the three children.)

Boy #1: Are you sure that's a baby?

Girl: You tell me. He looks like a one-eyed sea monster.

(The two boys and the girl laugh. The big beautiful woman lifts Popeye and looks at him.)

Woman: We'll call him Popeye.

Baby Popeye: Popeye. (laughs)

(The big beautiful woman carries the seemingly orphaned baby Popeye out of the beach with the three orphaned children following her.)

Woman: Welcome to the village of Sea Haven. You can stay with us until we find your parents, or you get adopted, or you become an adult and find them on your own.

(The scene cuts to a sign saying "Welcome to Sea Haven". The camera zooms out to reveal fishermen selling seafood.)

Swordfish Salesman: Get your swordfish! Get your fresh swordfish!

(The scene cuts to Popeye, the big beautiful woman, and the three orphaned children at the dock.)

Fisherman: Hey, Judy! Found another orphan on the beach, huh?

Judy: This one is in a spinach crate.

Fisherman: Oh, that's a new one.

Judy: I'll have to take good care of him. You go on and get your fish.

Fisherman: Will do, Judy!

(The camera pans to a man taking a picture of a fisherman and a swordfish he caught. The swordfish, who was supposedly dead, wakes up. He frees himself and attacks the fisherman and everyone else at the dock. The swordfish catches the fisherman and ties him up. Then, another swordfish arrives with a camera and takes a picture of him and the fisherman. Then, the two swordfish dive into the ocean and swim away. The scene cuts to Popeye, Judy, and the three orphaned children walking on the sidewalk in Sea Haven. Judy brings Popeye and the three orphaned children to an orphanage in the village. Judy runs the orphanage, and a lot of orphans live with her. The scene cuts to the nursery inside the orphanage. Judy enters the room with Popeye.)

Judy: Alrighty. I'll just put Popeye with the darling of the orphanage.

(The scene cuts to a fat baby sleeping in his crib.)

Judy: Bluto, I have a new friend for you.

(Bluto wakes up and sees Judy and baby Popeye.)

Baby Bluto: Ga goo.

Judy: Aren't you the sweetest and most handsomest little guy? Bluto, this is Popeye.

(Judy puts Popeye in Bluto's crib. Bluto hugs him.)

Judy: Oh, isn't that cute? I just know you two will be life-long friends.

(Judy gives Popeye a blue baby rattle. He takes it and shakes it around. Bluto gets jealous. So, he snatches the rattle away from Popeye. He tries to get it back from him, but he punches him in the face. Bluto plays with the rattle while Popeye cries. He then hits him with it. The scene cuts to a time-lapse exterior shot of the orphanage.)

Coral: (off-screen) Time went by, and as Popeye grew, so did his troubles, for no matter what he did, he just couldn't fit in.

(The scene cuts to a seven-year-old Popeye in a bedroom at the orphanage. He's sleeping in his bed. Soon, he wakes up and looks out the window. He looks at the village of Sea Haven near the ocean. Then, he sees a whale swimming in the ocean.)

Young Popeye: Right on time.

(The whale sees Popeye from far away and waves hello. Then, he dives into the ocean.)

Young Popeye: Good morning, everybody!

(Popeye's fellow orphans groan miserably.)

Young Popeye: It's a beautiful day! The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the fish are swimming, and the air is nice and salty. Just the way I like it.

(Popeye imitates a dolphin chirp while flopping like a fish. The other orphans cover their ears and walk away from him.)

Orphan: Gah! You're so weird!

(The other orphans leave the bedroom as they leave Popeye alone. He looks out the window again and watches the village of Sea Haven, remembering the beach where he met the woman who took him in. He sighs sadly and lays on his bed.)

Young Popeye: Why does my life have to be so miserable? I wish I could see my parents again.

(Popeye closes his eyes and sighs sadly.)

Part 4: Popeye's Troubled Childhood
(The scene fades to a sand castle on the beach. Popeye walks towards the sand castle and finds some children hiding in it.)

Young Popeye: Hey, everybody!

(The children peek out of the sand castle and see Popeye. One of them is Bluto. Then, they see a piece of paper covering Popeye's right eye. It has a drawing of an eyeball on it.)

Young Popeye: Nothing weird here. I can see with both my eyes. And you guys are building a sand castle. Can I help?

Young Bluto: No. Why don't you go back to that spinach crate you washed up in and leave us alone?

(Popeye gets sad. But then, the paper falls off, revealing his permanently closed right eye.)

Young Bluto: Agh! The cyclops was in disguise! He's gonna destroy our city! Get him!

(Popeye sadly walks away as Bluto and the other children throw sand balls at him.)

Young Bluto: Hooray! We drove that monster away!

(Bluto and the other children see another child on the beach.)

Bluto: (gasps) Look out! It's the sandworm!

(The child is pretending to be a sandworm. It turns out that Bluto and the other children are just pretending. Elsewhere in the village, a young girl is watching some children playing on the beach while licking her rainbow lollipop.)

Girl: Mommy, what are those kids doing?

(The girl's mother, a woman with a pink hood over her blonde hair, looks at the beach.)

Girl's Mother: Hmm. I'm not sure. But they might be pretending.

Girl: Pretending? What's that?

Girl's Mother: I think it's what people imagine. That they are something that they're not.

Girl: Wow! It kinda looks fun!

Girl's Father: Nonsense. You're Olive Oyl, the girl from the house on the hill.

(Olive Oyl, the young rich girl who lives in a mansion on a hill, walks away with her parents.)

Cole Oyl: Why would you want to be anything else?

Young Olive Oyl: You know what? I've changed my mind! I don't want to be anything else!

Cole Oyl: Exactly.

Nana Oyl: We don't want you pretending. We love you the way you are. Come along, Olive. Let's go home.

(Olive and her parents walk away as they go home. Popeye walks away from the beach as he continues his life as an orphan. The scene cuts to a doorbell on a wall. It's from the orphanage. A man rings the doorbell. The scene cuts to Judy, the orphan keeper, inside the orphanage.)

Judy: Parents are here!

(Judy opens the door and lets a married couple inside the orphanage. Popeye and Bluto see them.)

Man #1 and Woman #1: Who wants to join our family?

Young Bluto: Ha! Now that's what I'm talking about! Look at all that stuff! (runs towards the married couple) Mama! Dada!

(The man and the woman look at Bluto and Popeye.)

Woman: We'd like to adopt this one. (points at Bluto)

Man: That other kid has his right eye permanently closed. We don't want to adopt him. He's too weird.

(The man and the woman leave the orphanage with Bluto, their now adopted son. Judy watches them leave.)

Judy: Thank you! Come again!

(Another married couple shows up at the orphanage.)

Man #2 and Woman #2: We're looking for...

(Soon, all the other adults show up and adopt every single orphan in the orphanage except Popeye. The scene cuts to the adults leaving the orphanage with their now adopted children. The camera pans up to Popeye watching them leave through the window.)

Coral: (off-screen) Kids came and went, but Popeye realized there would never be any place where he could feel like he belonged.

(The scene cuts to Popeye on his bed in the bedroom. He's still watching the adults leave the orphanage with their now adopted children through the window. He lays his head on his pillow and looks at the ceiling. He sighs sadly. Then, Judy enters the room.)

Judy: Popeye, are you up here? Oh! There you are.

(Judy sits on Popeye's bed and talks to him.)

Judy: Popeye, come downstairs. Parents are here.

Young Popeye: Why should I? No one's gonna want me.

Judy: Why not? Everyone else got adopted, including Bluto. There's no reason you should be alone up here.

(Popeye places his face on his pillow and turns away.)

Judy: Look. I know there's someone for you. You're just special. One of a kind.

(Popeye sits up and looks at Judy.)

Young Popeye: That's the problem when you're one of a kind or different from everyone else.

(Popeye gets up from his bed and walks away. He walks out of the orphanage and goes to the beach.)

Young Popeye: I'm special, huh? More like rejected.

(Popeye looks at some seagulls flying above the ocean. Then, he sits on the sand and hugs his knees. The scene cuts to some clouds floating in the sky, then to the grass swaying with the wind, and then to some waves on the ocean. The scene cuts back to Popeye sitting on the sand and hugging his knees. But then, a ruby arrives as it gets washed up on the shore. It's the same ruby the sea witch once possessed. Popeye takes no notice of it. So, he stands up and walks away. The scene cuts to Coral and Lenny on the ocean.)

Coral: Huh? Our hero didn't take the bait.

Lenny: What bait?

Coral: Hello! The story bait!

Lenny: Oh! That kind of bait. Is it the ruby?

Coral: Precisely. Popeye didn't notice it, but we'll make him notice it and use it.

Lenny: Oh, yes. Let's do it.

(Coral and Lenny swim to the ruby on the shore. Coral gets out of the water and transforms into a human. Then, she picks up the ruby and throws it at Popeye. He turns around and sees Coral. She gets back into the water and transforms into a mermaid again.)

Young Popeye: Hey! What's the big idea?

Coral: (laughs) You don't have a clue who I am or what I'm here to do.

(Popeye looks at the camera and shrugs. Then, he walks away.)

Young Popeye: Weird.

(Coral gets out of the water and transforms into a human again. Then, she picks up the ruby and throws it at Popeye again. He turns around and sees her again.)

Young Popeye: Who keeps doing that?

Coral: You do. I'm your conscience.

Young Popeye: My what?

Coral: Your conscience. I represent the voice in your head that tells you to do the right thing.

Young Popeye: Is that what you're here to do? To tell me to do the right thing?

(Coral nods. Popeye turns around and walks away. Coral gets angry. So, she picks up the ruby and throws it at Popeye again. He turns around and sees her again.)

Young Popeye: That's it! I'm gonna...

(But then, Popeye sees a lot of sea creatures behind Coral.)

Young Popeye: Whoa!

(Coral and the sea creatures point at the ruby on the sand.)

Young Popeye: You want me to pick this up?

(Coral nods. The sea creatures nod as well.)

Young Popeye: Fine. I'll pick it up.

(Popeye walks over to the ruby and picks it up.)

Coral: Good choice.

(Popeye looks closely at the ruby.)

Young Popeye: Whoa. This is oddly familiar.

(Popeye looks at his reflection on the ruby. Then, his reflection becomes that of his parents. He sees their reflection on the ruby. Soon, the reflection becomes an image on the ruby. In the image, Popeye's parents put baby Popeye inside a spinach crate. They push it away onto the ocean. Finally, the image becomes that of Plunder Island. At the center of the island is the large shipwreck.)

Young Popeye: A shipwreck shaped like a shark?

(The image on the ruby soon becomes that of Poopdeck Pappy, Popeye's father, giving him the ruby.)

Poopdeck Pappy: (in the image on the ruby) One day, we'll be together again.

(Then, Roxy, Popeye's mother, appears in the image on the ruby.)

Roxy: (in the image on the ruby) Whatever happens, your father and I will always love you, Popeye, our son.

(Soon, the image on the ruby disappears, and in its place is Popeye's reflection. The reflection smiles at him.)

Young Popeye's Reflection: You're special, Popeye. You're loved. You are the son of Poopdeck Pappy and Roxy. They are your parents.

Young Popeye: I'm their son? I have a mom and dad? I have a mom and dad.

(Popeye hugs the ruby and cherishes it.)

Young Popeye: That's where I need to be... with them. Thank you, ocean!

(The sea creatures respond with their noises as a way of saying "you're welcome". Then, they swim away.)

Young Popeye: You too, mermaid. Thank you.

Coral: I have a name.

Young Popeye: Really? What's your name?

Coral: My name is Coral. What's yours?

Young Popeye: My name is Popeye. I'm gonna be a sailor on the seven seas.

Coral: I know. I can see you have the potential to be a sailor like your father.

Young Popeye: I want to be with my parents.

Coral: Then find them. Be with them.

Young Popeye: I will. Thank you, Coral.

Coral: You're welcome, Popeye. Now, go. Find your parents. Goodbye, Popeye.

Young Popeye: Bye, Coral!

(Coral jumps into the ocean and transforms into a mermaid. Then, she swims away. A rainbow appears in the sky. Popeye looks at the rainbow. Then, he happily walks away from the beach and returns to the orphanage.)

Young Popeye: Now I know who I am and what I'm here to do.

(Popeye goes upstairs and finds his bed in the bedroom. Then, he sees a poster of a boat on the wall. This gives him an idea.)

Young Popeye: I've got to build a boat!

(Popeye leaves the bedroom.)

Part 5: Building the Boat/Popeye Meets Eugene the Jeep
(The scene cuts to a junkyard in Sea Haven. The junkyard is full of old cars, broken appliances, and random metal. There is also a large pile of scrap wood and crates on the ground. Popeye enters the junkyard. There, he sees a broken boat and decides to renovate it. First, he gathers the materials for the boat. He collects the scrap wood, which he can use as a frame for the boat. He collects some fabric sheets, which he can use as sails. Then, Popeye puts on a pair of goggles and uses a chainsaw to saw off the stern. Then, he removes some parts from a broken jet engine. Finally, he collects all the other materials in the junkyard for the boat and begins building it.)

(While Popeye is building the boat, he hears a chirp. The noise is coming from a can. He looks inside it but finds nothing. He doesn't notice a magical animal sitting on his forehead. It's a yellow creature about the size of a dog who walks on its hind legs. It has a bear-like head and ears but a large nose, long tail, and protruding belly. Popeye scratches the creature's head with his finger when he means to scratch his own head. The creature scratches Popeye's head with his paws. Popeye scratches the creature's head again.)

Young Popeye: That itches.

(Popeye scratches the creature's back with his hands when he means to scratch his own head. Popeye looks around until he finally sees the creature on his head.)

Young Popeye: Hey! Was that you all along?

(The creature chirps and then crawls off Popeye's head. He then crawls all over him.)

Young Popeye: Hey! Whoa!

(Popeye grabs the creature and looks at him.)

Young Popeye: You're a strange little... whatever you are.

Creature: Jeep jeep!

Young Popeye: Jeep?

Creature: Jeep!

Young Popeye: Jeep?

Creature: Jeep!

Young Popeye: Jeep?

Creature: Jeep!

Young Popeye: Jeep?

Creature: Jeep!

Young Popeye: Jeep?

Creature: Jeep!

Young Popeye: Jeep?

Creature: Jeep!

Young Popeye: Okay, okay, I got it. Jeep!

Creature: Jeep!

(Suddenly, the creature floats up to the sky. Then, he disappears.)

Young Popeye: Whoa! Where'd he go?

(The creature appears behind Popeye.)

Young Popeye: You're a magic little guy.

(The creature disappears and reappears. He pounces on Popeye and licks his face.)

Young Popeye: Hey! Alright there, little Jeep. Look. I don't have time to chat. I have to build a boat so I can find my parents. So, goodbye.

(Popeye gets up and walks away from the creature, now known as a Jeep. He sees the Jeep again that appears in front of him. He talks to him in his unique language that is limited to only one word, the word "jeep".)

Jeep: Jeep jeep?

Subtitle: Do you need help?

Young Popeye: What? No. I don't need any help.

(Popeye continues building the boat. He grabs a saw and uses it to saw a wood board. The Jeep appears on the board.)

Jeep: Jeep jeep?

Subtitle: You're building a boat?

Young Popeye: Yes.

Jeep: Jeep jeep?

Subtitle: Do you need help?

Young Popeye: I said I don't need your help.

(The Jeep disappears, and Popeye gets back to sawing the board. Later, Popeye is installing the front half of a car onto the boat when the Jeep appears again. He honks the car horn on the steering wheel, startling him. Popeye looks at the Jeep who is playing around with the steering wheel.)

Young Popeye: I don't need your help!

(Popeye climbs down the ladder and walks away to get some more supplies for the boat. He goes to a pile of junk and climbs up. Then, he grabs some pipes from the pile and walks down. Suddenly, a large steel pipe at the top of the pile rolls down, trapping Popeye inside it.)

Young Popeye: Help. Help!

(The scene cuts to Popeye inside the steel pipe. He hugs his knees when the Jeep appears again. Popeye sighs in defeat.)

Young Popeye: Will you please get me out of here?

(The Jeep nods. So, he extends his tail and slides it underneath the pipe. He extends his arm, and Popeye shakes his hand, using him as a scissor jack to free himself from the pipe. Popeye and the Jeep get out of it.)

Young Popeye: Okay. You can help.

(The Jeep is overjoyed and jumps around happily.)

Young Popeye: I'll call you Eugene. Yeah. Eugene the Jeep. That'll be your name.

(Eugene the Jeep nods and smiles at Popeye.)

Young Popeye: Well, time to get to work.

(The scene cuts to a montage of Popeye building his boat with Eugene the Jeep helping him. The scene cuts to Coral (in her human form) and Lenny walking to the junkyard. There, they see Popeye and Eugene the Jeep building the boat together.)

Lenny: Well, time sure flies when you're building a boat.

Coral: Yep. It sure does, Lenny.

Lenny: I wonder when they're gonna finish building it.

Coral: When Popeye is 21. In other words, they'll finish building it in 14 years. (looks at the camera) Oh, yeah. Speaking of which, 14 years passed, and the boat was finally complete. Popeye had grown up to be a fine young man.

(The camera pans up to a door on the boat. The door opens, revealing Popeye, now a 21-year-old man. He hoists the anchor and turns on the engine. Eugene the Jeep wires the engine to the rest of the boat. He turns on the controls and pushes the periscope up to the ceiling. Then, he climbs up to the boat's helm.)

Popeye: Okay! We're ready.

(A whale appears on the surface of the ocean. He grabs the rope with his teeth and starts pulling the boat. He pulls it towards the water. The boat rises on the surface of the ocean and is now floating. Popeye and Eugene the Jeep wave goodbye to the whale.)

Popeye: Thank you!

(The whale waves goodbye to Popeye and Eugene the Jeep and swims away. Eugene the Jeep puts his hands behind his back.)

Popeye: Hmm. What do you have back there?

(Eugene the Jeep takes his hands out from behind his back. He opens them, revealing a white mariner's cap and a smoking pipe. He shows them to Popeye.)

Popeye: Oh! Are those for me?

(Eugene the Jeep nods.)

Popeye: Sorry, Eugene. I don't smoke.

Eugene the Jeep: Jeep jeep!

Subtitle: It's your lucky day!

Popeye: Oh, alright.

(Popeye puts on the white mariner's cap on his head and sticks the smoking pipe in his mouth. He puts his arms on his hips and stands confident. Eugene the Jeep claps for him. Popeye gets his hands on the wheel and prepares to sail.)

Popeye: We're off to find the shipwreck shaped like a shark!

(However, Popeye can't see the shark-shaped shipwreck anywhere in the ocean. It can only be found at the center of Plunder Island.)

Popeye: Hmm. Maybe we should get some directions first.
