- Prudence 'Spitfire' Stevens: My father taught me how to defend myself against rough men, but he told me he could only warn me about gentlemen.
- Prudence 'Spitfire' Stevens: You're a regular rooster, aren't you?
- Brian Hawke: And why not, Madam? You seem to be a high-spirited chick yourself.
- Crop-ear Collins: [to Hawke about his new, beautiful wife] Now that I got her, what does I do with her?
- Captain Moisson: I deeply regret the necessity for this flogging.
- Brian Hawke: Thank you, sir. I don't think the flogger needed to have carried it out with such gusto.
- Captain Moisson: You requested the customary lashing.
- Brian Hawke: I know, sir. Of course, you could have done me the favor of denying it. I swear he took a particular pleasure in having an officer under his cat.
- Captain Moisson: Should you fail, you'll look back on flogger Flower's lashing as a pleasant afternoon's pastime.
- Capt. Roc Brasiliano: Belike you'll tell the truth now.
- [He throws razor on his left]
- Capt. Roc Brasiliano: You best speak the truth or the carrion will feed on your guts before the sun sets.
- Swaine: [Frightened] I took no bounty.
- [Roc throws a knife on his right side]
- Capt. Roc Brasiliano: [Holding a third blade] Now place the truth on your tongue, or I will place this knife between the other two.
- Capt. Roc Brasiliano: [Threatening] I'm giving you fair warning, Hawke!
- Brian Hawke: [Unconcerned] That's very generous of you, Captain. I'll give it the fair attention it deserves.
- Williams: Seems hard to think of a man and his family being sent to slavery for no more than the poaching of a rabbit in Windsor Park.
- Lord Portland: Brave men are not forgotten.
- Brian Hawke: Thank you, but sometimes they don't live long enough to be remembered.
- Capt. Roc Brasiliano: It was in your youth that your name was to be feared along the seven seas...
- Capt. Kidd: Meaning, of course, that it to be feared no longer?
- Capt. Roc Brasiliano: You can take it as you wish.
- Capt. Kidd: Better do die when you're still a legend than to live long enough to make a mockery of that legend - is that what you're implying, Captain Brasiliano?
- Capt. Roc Brasiliano: Don't you think you're getting a little...
- Prudence 'Spitfire' Stevens: It is not Captain Kidd that's on trial here, but these three men. Proceed, Captain Kidd.
- Capt. Roberts: Look, you know Captain Kidd, a man with the guts to spy upon us would have the guts to take 20 on his bare back, would he not whatever? Indeed to Goodness!
