James Mason credited as playing...
Gentleman Brown
- Gentleman Brown: [to Cornelius] You have a natural talent for disaster! Try and improve yourself into an ordinary failure by keeping your mouth shut.
- Gentleman Brown: If an army couldn't get this treasure out, what makes you think that we can?
- Cornelius: The General was too ambitious. We just need to eliminate a certain... person.
- Gentleman Brown: You mean murder?
- Cornelius: Justice. Kill one pompous fool...
- Gentleman Brown: Let's see now: You're out, he's in - and *he's* the fool?
- Gentleman Brown: [referring to Jim] I think his majesty had pretentions to heroism, a form of mental disease induced by vanity.
- Gentleman Brown: [to Cornelius after breaking his liquor bottle with his sword] Drunk, you're useless... unreliable!
- Schomberg: Sober he's the same.
- Gentleman Brown: Are you so pure? Nothing fishy about your life? Nothing to be ashamed of? No white man hides himself in the wilderness without a reason! Come, my lord, what made you run from your world?
- Gentleman Brown: Are we not exiles, you and I, not good enough for the world out there? Are we so far apart? Have we not the same roots, the same skin? Same God? Same weaknesses?
- Gentleman Brown: Now, where is this gold kept, is it guarded, if so, how, and by whom?
- Cornelius: How do I know I can trust you?
- Gentleman Brown: You don't know.
- Cornelius: What do you think?
- Schomberg: [shrugs] I'm a silent partner.
- Cornelius: Then I suppose we'll have to take each other's word as gentlemen?
- Gentleman Brown: [sighs] I suppose.
- Gentleman Brown: Yes. You're white, clean through. In the name of God Almighty himself, I trust you.
