- Attwater: Next day I called all hands. I took my rifle, prepared to lead the way; the guilty man, right by my side, fawning on me. Presently, we came to the tree with the man hanging there, it wasn't a pretty sight; the birds had been at him. I told the guilty man to go up the tree. He wasn't eager. But he went. He was always obedient. As soon as he was up there, he looked down, and there was my rifle - covering him. He gave a little whimper, like a dog. But he was obedient to the last. He recited his crime, recommended his soul to his creator and then... shot! Right between the eyes. My second shot hit the rope. They came down together. Well, what do you think of my justice?
- Capt. Jakob Therbecke: Yeah, that's what I am; a tuppenny pirate. Not like you. You are a christian gentleman. You steal an island from the black man and a fortune from the government. And you've got bible talk on your lips, easy as butter. But inside, you've got nothing, you cold-blooded lunatic. Go on, shoot me, so you can read a good service over me.
