Quotes 

• Captain Flint : [Arguing with Miranda about the possibility of asking Peter Ash for help,]  This is too important to put all our fates in the hands of one man. Especially a man so committed to seeing me and everyone else I know hanged in his harbor!

  Miranda Barlow : There is no other way to achieve what you want to achieve.

  Captain Flint : Yes, there *is*! It is sitting on a beach filled with Spanish soldiers, and I am through delaying!

  Miranda Barlow : There is no other way once you're willing to tell the truth about your intentions here!

  Captain Flint : [Grimly]  I think that I have made my intentions very clear.

  Miranda Barlow : No! You've been anything but clear. You say you fight for the sake of Nassau, for the sake of your men, for the sake of Thomas! And his memory. But, the truth of the matter is it isn't for any of those things.

  Captain Flint : What the *fuck* do you think I am fighting for?

  Miranda Barlow : I think you're fighting for the sake of fighting! Because it's the only state in which you can function. The only way to keep that voice in your head from driving you mad!

  Captain Flint : What are you talking about? What voice?

  Miranda Barlow : [Gently]  The one telling you to be ashamed of yourself. For having loved him.

  [He sits down heavily as memories flood him] 

  Miranda Barlow : You were told that it was shameful. And part of you believed it. Thomas was my husband. I loved him, and he loved me. But, what he shared with you... it was entirely something else. It's time you allowed yourself to accept that.

  Captain Flint : [Voice gruff with grief and shame]  The only thing I'm ashamed of... is that I didn't do something to save him... while we had the chance. That instead I listened to you.

• Captain Flint : The only thing I'm ashamed of is that I didn't do something to save him when we had the chance. That instead, I listened to you.

• Captain Flint : [Shocked to see Miranda in town while he is preparing to attack the fort]  What are you doing here?

  Miranda Barlow : I need to speak with you alone.

  Captain Flint : You need to leave here *right* now. I will see you when I am able.

  Miranda Barlow : [He starts to walk away, but she stops him]  I've come upon some information which changes things for you. You must not move against that fort.

  Captain Flint : Miranda, you don't understand what's going on...

  Miranda Barlow : I understand why you need that fort. I understand why you need that gold. I understand why you need this island. I understand it all because I was there the day our lives ended, and all of this began. But, I have been devoted to you since that day. I have been loyal... and protective - *Look* at me! - committed to you since that day. Now, I am *asking* you to come with me so that I can save your life.

• Captain Flint : [Thomas has been committed to a hospital, and he and Miranda are to leave England]  We're not leaving.

  Miranda Barlow : James...

  Captain Flint : We're going to get him out of there.

  Miranda Barlow : We can't.

  Captain Flint : Watch me!

  Miranda Barlow : You think you're angry about this?

  Captain Flint : I'm beyond that!

  Miranda Barlow : I am *enraged*!

  [Softly] 

  Miranda Barlow : He is my husband.
