“Listen to me very carefully. You are, all of you, this whole crew, as of right now finished! You will not sell anything. You will not buy anything. You will not eat anything. Unless... unless you decide right now to elect yourselves a new captain. Unless you decide to join the crew of Captain Flint. You will join his crew and you will grant him disposal of your ship. So what will it be? Beggars under an old captain? Or rich men under a new one?” - Eleanor Guthrie
“I was once a slave. I know too well the pain of the yoke on my shoulders and of the freedom of having cast it off. So I'm resolved, I will be no slave again. And as I am free, I hereby claim the same for Nassau. She is free today, and so long as I draw breath, she shall remain free. Richard Guthrie was engaged in an effort to see her return to the rule of a king, to see the yoke returned. He betrayed Nassau, and thus, as always, to traitors. As far as you and I, I was warned about you, warned you would betray me. I'd hoped you and I shared a love to make such a thing unthinkable. I'd hoped those warnings were wrong. But I know you too well, so I prepared in case they were right. You removed the girl from my possession, but in turn, the man-of-war moved on from the bay, moved on from a position of heightened security. Moved on to a place where its attention, Captain Flint's attention, will be so very occupied on the danger that is Charles Town and in the state of apprehension in which the last thing any of them will be watching is the water. I made clear the price for the girl. You should have known me well enough to know, one way or another, I was going to claim it. And once I do, I'll be returning to Nassau to settle the rest of my accounts.” - Charles Vane
As we have two characters, I wanted both of them to be able to speak to us but in similar situations. That’s why I ended up with episodes III and XVI, when both of them destroy the other’s world.
