"I thought Agot was the guy's name, Haggott? what kind of a name is Haggott?"
Um, I dunno, British? I just did a Google search, and it's a fairly common surname. I can't remember if it was used in the book, but it's in the end credits of the movie.
Do you have the DVD of "Treasure Island"? Usually they have subtitles. Or you could turn on the closed-captioning on your TV. (Can't guarantee it's always accurate though!)
Have you read the book "Treasure Island"? I think that would help give you a feel for the sailors' dialect they speak. And then just overlay that with Robert Newton's Cornish accent! There are lots of places where he doesn't pronounce his "h"s at the beginnings of words.
Anyway, if there's anything you can't figure out, just ask! I'm sure one of us will understand what he's saying.
