Kate: And what are the of your tenancy?
Tom: I'm to serve as the island's surgeon. Or...
Kate: Suffer impossible torments and degradations and so forth.
Tom: Indeed.

Valentine: How did you come by it?
Blackbeard: By doing what Nature dictates--theft and murder and the like.

Blackbeard: I swear to God, if you'd only lay with me now, I'd give you...
Selima: What?
Blackbeard: Whatever there is to give. The world. The skies and the sea. The moon.
Selima: But I'm only human. And when your ion was spent, you'd see that and lament such reckless generosity.

James: When I was on the rack, I called upon God to deliver me. I can only conclude that I prayed to an empty sky.
Tom: And yet here you are. Delivered.
James: Far from a home I'll never see again. Alive, inside a shattered carcass with a wife to whom I can't be a husband.
Tom: Then perhaps when you prayed, the Devil was listening.
James: Perhaps.

Blackbeard: Where were you?
Rider: I couldn't been no faster.
Blackbeard: Slow as a two-balled bitch!

Valentine: You do have keen ears, sir.
Tom: I have a keen interest.

Blackbeard: And what brings you to elect yourself his advocate?
Kate: The fact that he spent much of the day in my bed.
Blackbeard: Well, we're indebted to your openness, as is he, no doubt.

Blackbeard: There are legends, and then there are secrets, Rose. Do you know the difference?
Rose: Yes, I believe so.
Blackbeard: Good. Because if you mistake this secret for a legend, I'll have to make you part of it.
