Hello Oncers,

as some of you might know, I'm part of this wikia's transcript team. Currently, I'm working on - among others - Good Form/Transcript. About five minutes of the episode are done - see the link above, if you want to know more details.

Then, there's the first flashback scene of the episode. The scene takes place on the "Jewel of the Realm", the ship an angry former first lieutnant will later rename "Jolly Roger".

As the scene starts sailors are running back and forth and there's some indistinct shouting. At least, I cannot hear what they're saying. The first sentence I'm able to hear properly is Lt. Jones shouting "All hands on deck."  I bought the subtitled episode from a legal source ( = itunes store Germany; I live in Germany). It provides German subtitles. Unfortunately, it doesn't subtitle all the words spoken. Lt. Jones command is also the first sentence which is subtitled in this particular flashback scene.

A synchronized version of the episode Good Form aired in Germany in October. Watching this version I realized that actually three different sailors shout three orders before Lt. Jones gives his first command "All hands on deck." in this scene.

The exact German wording is the following:

''1. „Macht das Segel klar!“ --> 3. „Macht schneller, Männer!“ 2. "Kommt. Auf Leute, hoch in die Takelage mit euch!"''

I'm no nautics expert but watching the syncronized version of the episode I figured that the three sailors expect their comrades to

1. bring out the sails

2. get into the rig

3. and best be quick about finishing the given task.

Concentrating very hard the third shouted order sounds like " Look alive, man! " to me. Can somebody help me to figure out the exact  wording of the three given orders, please? I'm kind of stuck there.

Thank you in advance,

OEdystopia
