- Capt. Alexander Smollett: Lower the flag? Strike my colors? Not I, sir! We're without without provisions but we've plenty of powder and ball and, by heaven, sir, this spot is England!
- [Salutes the Union Jack]
- Long John Silver: Silver's the name, Long John Silver they calls me. At your service, sir.
- Squire Trelawney: Mr. Silver, Trelawney's my name, Squire Trelawney. And this is our cabin boy: Jim, Jim Hawkins.
- Long John Silver: Aye, Matey. Smart as paint I'll warrant.
- Jim Hawkins: Smart enough to see you've only one leg, sir.
- Squire Trelawney: Jim Boy!
- Jim Hawkins: Yes, sir.
- Long John Silver: You're pretty smart, Jim. So was that French gunner who touched off the ball that blew that ol' leg o' mine overboard.
- Capt. Alexander Smollett: My name is Alexander Smollett. I've flown my sovereign's colors, and I'll see you all to Davy Jones.
- Long John Silver: [Lying on the ground without his crutch] That final?
- Capt. Alexander Smollett: That's the last good word you'll hear out of me, by heaven. The next time we meet, I'll put a bullet in you. Do you meet my terms?
- Long John Silver: No!
- Capt. Alexander Smollett: Then tumble out of here, m'lad, hand over hand on the double!
- Long John Silver: Gimme a hand up?
- Capt. Alexander Smollett: Yah! I'd sooner touch carrion!
- Long John Silver: Who'll give me a hand up?
- [No one replies]
- Long John Silver: I like this boy, and if you understand the King's English, you better not lay a hand on 'im!
- [the pirates seem to react aggressively]
- Long John Silver: . You want to have it out with me?
- [They back down]
- Long John Silver: . That's better, George Merry. Why, this boy's got more fight than the whole of you!
- Jim Hawkins: [At the "Admiral Benbow" Inn, Jim comes into Billy Bone's room, sees him peering out the window with a telescope] What are you looking for?
- Billy Bones: Huh? Strangers, sonny. Strangers. I don't like strangers coming aboard me suddenly. Makes my spine jump like a porpoise, it does. What might your name be?
- Jim Hawkins: Jim Hawkins.
- Billy Bones: Now, look here, Jim. You and me's going to be mates. You'll get a silver 4-penny bit every month if you watches out for strangers and comes and lets the old captain know when they tops the horizon.
- Jim Hawkins: Well, what manner of strangers?
- Billy Bones: Seafarin' men.
- Jim Hawkins: Well, all seafaring men?
- Billy Bones: No, no, no, son. There's a special cut of the jib to these seafarin' men. But most especially, I want you to keep your eye open for a seafarin' man with one leg.
- Jim Hawkins: A seafaring man with one leg?
- Billy Bones: Aye.
- Jim Hawkins: Upon my word, sir, what shall I tell them? What do they want?
- Billy Bones: Never you mind *what* they want! You go on down below and get me a noggin of rum. A *double* noggin, Jim, because I'm becalmed. Becalmed in a sea of troubles, and I got to fill my sails again.
- Jim Hawkins: Yes, sir.
- [leaves to go get the rum]
- Long John Silver: [speaking to Jim Hawkins right after suckering him] Ahh, matey, you're just smart as paint.
- Jim Hawkins: You said you'd made a treaty
- Long John Silver: Treaties are only good until you find a chance to break 'em, matey.
- Jim Hawkins: That isn't very honorable.
- Long John Silver: Hmmm..it's smart, Jim. Ya see what being honorable done for me? I had to show them the map, didn't I?
- Jim Hawkins: Why were you keeping it from them?
- Long John Silver: There's too many of them to share the treasure with. I'm just tryin' to figure a way to get rid of about half of them.
- Jim Hawkins: Oh, I see! More murder!
- Long John Silver: Oh no, not murder. Tactics!
- Billy Bones: [at the "Admiral Benbow" tavern] Hey! Silence there between decks!
- Doctor Livesey: You addressing me, sir?
- Billy Bones: Is it blowing a gale of wind you can't hear me? What did I say?
- Doctor Livesey: I have only this to say: I don't know you, but by your look, if you continue drinking rum, the world will soon be rid of a very dirty scoundrel.
- Billy Bones: [Angered, approaches Dr. Livesey menacingly, with cutlass raised] By God, I'll split you double, you...
- Doctor Livesey: [sternly] If you don't lower that cutlass, I promise on my honor that you shall hang at the next assizes.
- Doctor Livesey: [Billy Bones backs away from the doctor, then meekly walks away, muttering] And furthermore, sir, I'm not only a doctor, but I'm Magistrate here. And if I catch another breath of complaint against you, if only for a piece of incivility like this, I'll have you routed out of here. Let that suffice?
- Billy Bones: [Meekly] I ask your patience, sir. Just a squall from a poor old sailor man who took too much rum over his bowsprit. I ask your pardon.
