Directed by: Brian Henson
Starring: Billy Connolly, Jennifer Saunders, Kevin Bishop, Tim Curry
Question: When they're singing "Professional Pirate" to Jim, the bald human says, "And me, I could have been a contender." Everyone laughs, and the crustacean gives him a dirty look, they even cut to him to show it. Am I mishearing? What's he saying, what's the joke?
