- Lt. Edward Beamish: Most men aren't in such a hurry to get to the gallows.
- Capt. Dan Tempest: Most men don't know how to die.
- [Beamish smiles approvingly; both men turn to go]
- Lt. Edward Beamish: Yes, that, ah, tall one, eh, threatened me!
- Capt. Dan Tempest: Oh?
- Lt. Edward Beamish: By implication. He's a deserter from the navy. He admitted to throwing an officer overboard!
- Capt. Dan Tempest: [Smiling] Yes, he would too. He's a good man, Jack.
- Lt. Edward Beamish: He's a goo-?
- [Flounders in incredulous dismay]
- Lt. Edward Beamish: Captain Tempest, have you no sense of discipline?
- Crewman Armando: Spoke like a true naval officer, a noble fellow, most fine!
- Lt. Edward Beamish: [Perplexed, walks off] Tut, tut, tut.
- Gov. Woodes Rogers: Your mission is to see those goods safely through to Carolina, to bring back the money and the goods that we need.
- Capt. Dan Tempest: [Sarcastically] Aye, aye, skip...
- Gov. Woodes Rogers: And Dan, just in case you feel in need of a little moral support, now and then, I'm sending Lieutenant Beamish along with you.
- Capt. Dan Tempest: [Captain Tempest looks after Lieutenant Beamish incredulously] That stuffed monkey!
- [Governor Rogers chuckles softly as Captain Tempest walks off]
