  • Gentleman Brown: [to Cornelius after breaking his liquor bottle with his sword] Drunk, you're useless... unreliable!
  • Schomberg: Sober he's the same.
  • Stein: But you promised.
  • Schomberg: Yeah, a promise straight from the heart. The heart says "yes," but the conditions say "no." All my life, I'm a victim of conditions, so it's got to be "no."
  • Gentleman Brown: Drunk, you're useless and unreliable.
  • Schomberg: Sober, he's the same.
  • 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.
  • Schomberg: You've got your business, I got mine.
  • Lord Jim: Your business is renting boats.
  • Schomberg: Please, please, my business is to stay in business.
  • Schomberg: That's very funny, mister. You think everybody is dying to die?
  • Lord Jim: How do you know it's contraband?
  • Schomberg: I know nothing. I don't even know you.
  • Schomberg: This gentleman, Captain Brown, has given more business to death than the bubonic plague. From Java to Fiji, he's wanted for piracy, for slavery, for mutiny., for rape, murder, even some things that are not mentioned in the Bible.
  • Schomberg: The Captain of this ship is... do you know Gentleman Brown?
  • Cornelius: For this sort of work, we don't need any gentlemen.
  • Schomberg: [laughs] This "Gentleman" Captain Brown has given more business to Death than the bubonic plague. From Java to Fiji, he's wanted for piracy, slavery, mutiny, rape, murder, and some things that aren't even mentioned in the Bible!
