  Edwina Mansfield : Blackbeard!

  Blackbeard : No, I be Blackbeard!

• Blackbeard : Ben, I believe I'm going to catch me a rat!

  Ben Worley : Why, you hungry?

  [motions to the rope Blackbeard is holding, which goes over the side of the ship] 

  Ben Worley : . Oh, you're goin' fishing for him, aye?

  Blackbeard : NO, I ain't goin' fishin' for him, aye!

• Blackbeard : Gilly, Gilly, give him just a tickle with the point of your blade, at about his liver.

• [blasting Henry Morgan's ship with cannon fire] 

  Blackbeard : Arrr, he's like a duck without wings! We'll close for the kill and then board her. And I'll dangle Uncle Harry from the fore yard!! Heh, he he he!

• Blackbeard : [gesturing with his cutlass at Edwina's neck]  Morgan! You take this ship, and you take her head with it!

  Sir Henry Morgan : Call off your men, and cast adrift.

  Morgan's First Mate : But we're winning, sir! We have them at our mercy, and the ship is ours.

  Sir Henry Morgan : You heard my orders! Cast off, I say!

  Morgan's First Mate : Aye aye, sir!

  [to the crew] 

  Morgan's First Mate : Cut loose those grapnels! Cast off, solid!

  Blackbeard : Heh, heh, I knew it...

  [Blackbeard's crew cheers and waves their swords at Morgan and his crew] 

  Blackbeard : We'll call this one a draw, Morgan!

• Blackbeard : [as the Maynard digs a bullet out of Blackbeard's neck and Gilly stands behind Maynard to make sure Maynard doesn't kill Blackbeard]  Sawbones, you keep digging. Gilly, You keep watchin', and I'll keep drinking.
