- Captain Charles Vane: [to Eleanor] Be honest. Are you as surprised as I am that I'm the only one here behaving myself?
- Gates: [Exasperated with Flint who has just almost ruined a crucial meeting with Vane that Gates is desperately trying to conciliate] That was my fault. Entirely my fault. I should have been clearer when I prepared you for this meeting. When I said we would need to keep our tempers in check if we were going to make this meeting happen, I should have specified we would need to do so for the duration of the meeting as well. Not to worry. Simple setback. Now we clarity and a unity of vision. I feel good. You?
- [Flint gives him a hard long look then walks a way without a word]
- Gates: [Referring to Flint] He thinks you don't like him.
- Captain Benjamin Hornigold: He's right! The man's arrogant and presumptuous.
- Captain Benjamin Hornigold: [to Gates] After fifty years at sea, you're the only man I've ever met who's gotten dumber with age.
- Captain Benjamin Hornigold: No matter how many lies we tell ourselves or how many stories we convince ourselves we're a part of... we're all just thieves awaiting a noose.
