  • Captain Jasper Leigh: Until you give me satisfaction, I'll horsewhip you every time we meet!

  • Asad-ed-Din - Basha of Algiers: By Allah! The strength of the Prophet is already in his arm!
  • Title Card: A name rang through Spanish Christendom that made all mariners quake in terror... "Sakr-el-Bahr," the Moslem name meaning "Hawk of the Sea" - the victorious corsair of the Basha of Algiers.

  • Title Card: Fenzileh, the Basha's favorite wife. Marsak, her son, harem-born and woman-raised.
  • Fenzileh: Wilt thou forever close thy heart against thine own son, Marsak, and cherish this infidel Sea Hawk?

  • Sir Oliver Tressilian: You find me strong, eh? I toiled at the oar of a galley until it formed my body into steel and robbed me of a soul.
  • Asad-ed-Din - Basha of Algiers: This maiden has found favor in my sight; thou wilt yield her up, I know.
  • Sir Oliver Tressilian: [to Lady Rosamund] Take this dagger; if my plan fails, use it as you will.
