Jack Rackham Appreciation Week - Favorite Scene
That's enough. You, sit down. And the rest of you, please listen closely.
I never approved of Eleanor Guthrie's harsh mothering of this place. I believe my record on that issue is in good order. That said, if you're going to behave like children, then I will be your daddy.
When this meeting breaks, I will address the street, your crews, and I will persuade them that a defense of this place isn't just desirable, it is critical to their ability to call themselves men. I'll have them in such a state that any captain in this room who speaks in opposition to this plan, opposition borne from what? A fear of losing? Will not long call himself captain. Hmm?
I'm committed to this. Charles is committed to this. Captain Flint will be returning soon. He is most committed to this. And if that weren't enough, you will recall that Anne and I have put thousands of pieces into your pockets in contemplation of the day when your cooperation would be called upon to defend this place.
That day is today, and you will answer the call.
