Re: Treason

This could be a reference to the Civil War. Maybe the answer is Grand Army Plaza, or Grant's Tomb, or Lincoln Center, etc.

It is "Shut it, you!", I think. It is the same thing the Captain said to Mulligan one time, though that probably isn't significant.

That whole "little yellow" exchange just seemed like a Simpsons reference. Mulligan's voice changes and sounds more like Homer's. Which is not to say it's not a clue. If we were in San Francisco, it would be an obvious hint to get on the BART!


I believe Homer's usual phrase just before throttling Bart is "Why you little...!". It's in like 80 episode scripts. This is close, though not exact. And Mulligan never gets his hands on the Parrot.

Yes, I see what you mean now. Ok, so someplace warm, maybe the same as the place next to the chairs. Are there bus-waiting shelters with heaters and chairs or something like that? Or an ice-rink warming house? And maybe the place is underground or below something else, because it is "up there" that it is cold. Or all three of these points could be separate clues too, but it feels like they go together to me.

Any thoughts on the meaning of Tom dusting?

I don't see the significance. There are chairs in the cabin, okay. Mulligan says the ghost is "sitting... right... there!" and it is the parrot sitting there. I don't see any reason why the sitting in a chair part is unusual. The parrot has to be somewhere, and not the floor, too low. So Mulligan isn't going to say the ghost is standing there.

Was there something about the chairs that I'm not getting?

NOT the admiral

I believe that some of the homages to Aubrey-Matin are also clues. For instance, #18 is an homage to The Yellow Admiral, but I also think that it is a clue. Mulligan says "Yellow" and the bird says "Not the Admiral". Therefore, we must be talking about something else that is yellow but is not an Admiral. How about a yellow subway line?


Yes, this bothers me. Clearly they are meaning us to think of the novel title, but the bird does say NOT the admiral, so having thought of it, it seems we are supposed to reject it.

Alright, so what is yellow? Subway lines, again maybe. But we got off the subway in Episode 6 (if not before), so back on again?! There is the Safeguard Storage storefront, that is yellow, quite strikingly yellow. Not "little" though. So I think we can keep that in mind if we ever figure out how we could get there in the first place.

Yellow submarine, first free-association thing I get, what else?

Thank you for starting this thread.

12 & 13) I believe that these clues refer to the subway line forking offf into three different directions. For instance, look at the Southeast portion of the A line. It gets cut once at Rockaway Blvd. and then again at Broad Channel.

23) This is similar to episode 3 when they count from 1 to 5 and then mention the Port of Cortland. I believe that the numbers once again represent something on the subway. Maybe the 2, 3 & 4 lines. Maybe they ride the 2 & 3 line and then switch to the 4 line.

32) I like your answer, although I am unsure of which subway line we are on.

Interesting fact about the Pittsburgh Pirates...

In the era of Ebbets Field, the Pirates home field was Forbes Field. The press box behind home plate was known as the "crows nest".
