No, you don't need FTF or SS (although I highly recommend both because they're great). The script insults pirates by itself.
PH, first I need to understand what the script should be doing, and why you think it should be insulting pirates. If you're too low level, for example, or if you haven't eaten yet, it will address those issues before insulting pirates. It might "try" to adventure in the Barrr as a way to level up, for example, and either fail or succeed, but not be insulting pirates regardless.
What you showed me is that its eating, which it is supposed to do before it does anything else. Show me where it's stuck. Does it crash? If so, show me what comes before the crash. If it's not stuck, then be patient - it may be doing things in a different order than you supposed it should.
