Quotes 

• John Silver : Every name in this volume belongs to a man who first pledged his service to Captain Flint. To defend Nassau against the crown. Every name in this volume belongs to a man who turned his back on that pledge. This volume now belongs to me. Captain Flint returns to Nassau tomorrow. Any man who meets us on the sand will be accepted back into the fold, his name redacted from this book, forgiven for his sins against his brothers. But, when we set sail, I will keep the list of names remaining and those men will not be forgotten. And I assure you, those men will hear from us again.

  Dufresne : Is that it?

  [John Silver looks to the other side of the tavern. A single man walks slowly forward] 

  Dufresne : Surely there must be more. Surely if Captain Flint were truly alive, he could do better than to send a handful of men lead by half a man in the dead of night to deliver a threat as vague as this. A threat that amounts to what? 'Fear my name.'

  [John Silver lays the pardon ledger down on a table] 

  Dufresne : Contented men have short memories and they have little reason to fear the dark. Captain Flint's name is already half forgotten. As for you, I know enough of you to know even whole, you were unworthy of half the attention we paid you. And now, as a god damn invalid, you expect that to change.

  John Silver : [John Silver swings a mug against Dufresne's head and he falls down. Then John Silver places his lead foot next to Dufresne's face. He then stomps into his head 4 times]  Tomorrow, you will all join us or you will be looking over your shoulders for the rest of your lives. My name is John Silver and I've got a long fucking memory.
