TUTTY

Wanted to make a seperate thread for this...

What are everyone's thoughts on TUTTY as clearly this has some big significance?

There's the Tutty-Potato. There's Crothers=Tutty. There's Tutty = Treasure.
There's Tutty=Lucky charm. There's Tutty=TUT. Tutty = Happy. (T=H, U=A?)
Cap'n has a tattoo of tutty.

There's an EPA Brownfield clean-up at Tutty's Park, which might lead one to Staten Island.

(j/k)

Screw the money. Tutty's the true prize in the buried treasure.

SO CUTE!

I really think there is something more significant going on here with TUTTY;



What I'm saying though is ... TUTTY has to be symbolic of something great to this hunt.

EPISODE ONE Tutty part


Captain: I know you're saying jelly beans. I am not even gonna waste a flashback on ya. Instead I will remember me sweet stuffed animal type friend - Tutty.

Captain: I remember sitting with Tutty on our favorite rock. Him and me. Me and him. Tutty were always the mediscine for me troubled s...

(visual of Captain & Tutty sitting on a rock shown)

Mulligan runs by Captain carrying a spyglass with a red cloth wrapped around one end.

Captain: Where are you going you great poop!

Mulligan: I'm going up to the highest point of the ship to clear me head and think of new codes.

Captain: Sit down. You know you ain't allowed in the crows nest.

Mulligan: But I loves it.

Captain shoots the spyglass out of Mulligan's hands.
------------------------------------

EPISODE 2 - Tutty part

Captain: Mever mind the French now Tutty. You just have your nap.

(Cannonball strikes Tutty resting in crib...the crib is shown with the letters TUT and the letters TY blown off)

Captain: Tutty. Augh! Augh!

Mulligan: Nonono. Nononono. Captain. Captain. It's okay. It's okay. Look. Crothers and me switched Tutty with a potato. Huh, potato.


Crothers sets cannon to shoot into the Maddie Hayes by accident. Cannon fires and causes cannon to fall out of ship into water.

Mulligan: But Captain, somebody should be up in that crow's nest and that somebody should be me.

Captain: Mulligan, I'd sooner cut off my tattoo what says Tutty, before I'd see you up in that crow's nest. Crothers, fire south. Aim below their bridge.

---------------------------------------
EPISODE 6 - Tutty part

JUST TRY TO KEEP THESE CARDS UNDER WRAPS!
NEW FROM WE LOST OUR GOLD COMICS!!! All of your friends are going to want these... and with characters like ARTHUR the SCOTSMAN, TUTTY*, GENERAL ANESTHETIC, and GHAST GHOULO, they aren't going to last long! Espically because guess how many packs we made? NONE!
*THE STRENGTH AND ENDURANCE AND SPEED STATS ON THE TUTTY CARD ARE A MIS-PRINT. THEY SHOULD ALL READ 18.
You know [obscured] down here because no one ever reads it. 1975. But you have to put in [obscured] looks legit. And occasionally written in CAPS. But you [obscured] tragity there [obscured] SOCK. Oh well, opertunity lost.

(from comic book t shirt ad)
TUTTY - #76501 NEW - no price


The next panel depicts the fray between the Gorilla and the crew members. The Captain and Black Tom are attacking the Gorilla without apparent effect, while the Gorilla is biting a portrait of Tutty, and has grabbed hold of Crothers' right leg.

Gorilla: WAARRGGG!

Captain: He has me pitcher o' Tutty!!

(comic shown with gorilla eating a wooden slab)
-------------------------------

EPISODE 7 - Tutty part

Captain: Now this be a fine mess. Crothers is shot and killed by me own bird.

The Captain sighs.

Captain: Treasure be gone. Now Crothers be gone. Tutty be gone.

The Captain sniffs as if holding back tears, when a peal of thunder is heard and a bolt of lightning is seen in the distance behind the MADDIE HAYES.


----------------------------------
EPISODE 8 - TUTTY PART

Captain: I need proof ye be Crothers, not Lucifer in a bird suit!

Crothers/parrot: Then ask me somethin only me and ye knows, Cap'n! You bein' Cap'n and me bein' Crothers.

Captain: I'll ask ye a question then. Me greatest secret I only shared with one man, that man bein' Crothers: What happen'd ta Tutty?

Mulligan climbing to crows nest.

Crothers/parrot: He's in the treasure chest, Cap'n. Ye put him there ta keep him safe.

Tom: Ohoh?

Mulligan climbs to crows nest.

Mulligan: I made it! I made it to the safe haven of the beautiful crows nest!

Triumphal music, lightning strikes.

Mulligan: Ohh Ohh!

Lighting enters cabin and strikes Crothers.

Crothers/parrot: Ohhhhhh!

Captain: No! (glass breaks) The floatin' voice o' what turned out ta be my best mate were hit in the face by lightnin!

Tom: Comihomiomio! (pointing)

Coughing, parrot appears dressed as Crothers (hat, but missing arm, leg, and eye)

Crothers/parrot: I have not gone back to hell!

Tom: [pseudo Japanese]

Crothers/parrot: No Tom, I am not happy. I can tell I'm stuck in this parrot. And all of his luck were bad! How can I be your mate, lookin like this?

Captain sighs, exits slowly.

Crothers/parrot: Where is he goin?

Tom: dunno (shrugs)

Captain gets candle, soft music, goes to hammock. Picture on wall is of Tutty, looking like the parrot, in red and white striped "HAPPY" shirt, arm prothesis, leg prothesis, eye patch.

Captain reenters cabin, sniffs.

Captain: Ya still look like a pirate ta me! Sniff! Now ya can fly behind merchants, and stab em unawares. (Sobs) yer smallness will help ya get drunk faster! (Sobs)

Crothers/parrot: Captain? Is this cryin' some sort of a code-type thingie?

Captain: No, Crothers parrot. I am cryin on accounts I am overcome with emoshkuns. Yer mishiny bird-body has taught me that Tutty were the treasure I were truly missin. And in a way, it turns out the treasure was with us the whole....

Mulligan: [screaming, remote] oooohhhh

Mulligan comes through ceiling. Debris crashes and piles on table.

Crothers/parrot: Look out! [unintelligible]

Debris hits parrot, he falls off table. [/u]

I keep thinking about the fact that "it would be very surprising if someone found the treasure before the last video is released"... maybe the fact that we never see what tutty looks like until the end means that tutty will be how we know we've found the treasure? Maybe a picture of tutty to indicate where we need to dig?

I thought that as well , however I still think there is something greater going on with Tutty

Tutty is in the chest

Crothers clearly says Tutty is in the chest. There still might be a picture of him or something near the site, I suppose.

Early on, I figured this had to be the origin of "Tottie", with the Morse code and Central Park Zoo connections, and that Tutty was a chimpanzee:
http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9400E0D9153CE633A25750C0A9609C946396D6CF

But the spelling turned out to be wrong and of course Tutty turned out to be a bird.

The potato was blown up by the French, which to me says "french fries". Some concession stand or something in Central Park might sell french fries, analogous to the "iced cream" that the Captain wanted Mulligan to say to give a clue for the Dairy (though the Dairy doesn't actually sell ice cream nowadays, and maybe never did).

Your potato thing makes some sense ... I'm not sold on there being a picture of a puppet parrot or it being named after Tottie The Monkey from the Central Park Zoo from 'back in the day' though ..hmmm

**************************************************************************************************************************
Episode 1: Pinata - Sweet stuffed animal type friend. Medicine for me troubles - source of comfort.
Episode 2: TUT - baby sounds ? Potato - Mr. Potato Head I made you, You know it's true Mr. Potato head I made you!.
Episode 6: Tutty is too valuable to put a price on him.

Tutty is his best friend, makes him happy, is his lucky charm, source of comfort, his favorite treasure just like every kid has when they are young. Have any of you parents gone crazy when your kid can't find their favorite stuffed animal when it is time to go to bed? Captain is so attached to him he gets a tattoo just like dads do with their kids names.
