Because sending someone who's armed to the teeth into the belly of that ship, is a far better plan than letting me wander in there with nothing more than my wits.
[ The Doctor rolls his eyes in disbelief, as he places his hands on his hips. ]
I'm sure I could, but I heard the crew of that said ship doesn't have the brain capacity to make due with a witty fellow like me. And if you can help me, I'd be more than willing to make sure you're well paid for your services.
I have no idea where you got that story from, mate. Certainly wasn't me. Best looking, smartest, most effective, richest, most prolific, so on and so forth-
I'm not really well known for slitting throats and setting sleeping men alight.
I have danced occasionally into the realm of madness and toyed with its denizens and the like, but I cannot say I've been so intimately involved with all of their mechanics.
Did they mention overtaking a fort without firing a shot? That was me. Aye, killing Davy Jones himself, also me. Defeating an army of the undead, me. An army of fish men, me. Sirens dead, me. Blackbeard dead, me-
I wouldn't say they were ruthlessly destroyed, more mercifully and ah... quickly put to an end.
I believe they twisted the story around, but I'll take your word about the fort and it is a pleasure to meet someone who's done such a feat. And you remind me of someone, and that someone is me.
Incorrect, it is exactly as I say it was, if not better.
Yes, of course. Which is why you should be so bold and so brave as to scurry on board that ship and give them all a proper drubbing. I'll wait out here for you.
And of course I'm going to believe you, as you look to be a man of your word. As for going a board that ship alone still would be suicide. And I'd still appreciate hiring you to provide me with a little... erm support.

Aye, but wits can apply to many things other than biting sarcasm and poignant jokes.
Money is fantastic, unless I am too dead to spend it.

Well maybe if you invested in some sharp bits of metal or perhaps a pointy stick that wouldn't be an issue?
awful, awful people
