While waiting for Brian at the vet’s office, Chris meets a beautiful young intern named Anna and develops a crush on her. Meanwhile, Peter becomes very attached to a parrot he sees at the vet and decides to steal it for himself. Carrying his parrot wherever he goes, Peter’s friends compare him to a pirate and suggest he dress up like one. Of course, it all goes to his head as he recruits three other pirates and begins terrorizing the town under the name “Long John Peter.” Peter and his men loot a British man’s car inexplicably full of tobacco, rum, and spices in a drawn-out high-speed car chase that mimics a naval battle, filled with cannonade and sword fighting on each side. Unfortunately, Peter’s parrot is injured in the attack and dies a reportedly humiliating death at the vet’s office, though Peter quickly gets over it in interest of the pipe organ (which, too, quickly meets it’s demise at Peter’s hands).
