-
Humble Bellows : Meantime, we got regular pirate business to settle. We got the plank, the culprit and the verdict. All we need's a trial, an execution and a sentence.
Slimy : He's guilty!
Humble Bellows : So much for the trial. Now for execution.
-
Vallo : You've sold me Humble Bellows - and to a king's flunky!
Humble Bellows : Aye. 'Tis my modest opinion that no man can fly pirate colors who's not willing to sell his friend, his sweetheart, or his mother.
Baron Jose Gruda : Well spoken, Mr. Bellows.
Vallo : Foul spoken it is, Humble Bellows. You've turned your hand against your captain's back. Yellow was never a pirate's colour.
Slimy : Nor rescuing a fair maiden a pirate caper.

Humble Bellows : There goes a good pirate, Stub Ear, to sell his wares like a fish peddler. Meaning no disrespect to the skipper, of course.
Stub Ear : And us, with a price on our heads, hove to in one of His Majesty's ports like sitting ducks.
Poison Paul : But if the skipper pulls us through again, we'll be the ducks what laid the golden eggs.
Humble Bellows : Ye be thinking of geese, if you'll pardon the correction, Poison Paul. Geese... on a wild goose chase.

Humble Bellows : Be that bit of fluff El Libre?
Vallo : That's the bit of fluff that's taking us to him.

Humble Bellows : Thou hast a generous choice: the gallows, or the sea.
Prof. Prudence : [walks to Vallo] If it won't crowd you?
Vallo : I'd rather you weren't coming, but I don't want to seem inhospitable.
