James Flint Appreciation Week -   Most Memorable/Favorite Quote

Woodes Rogers has an inoperative fort, responsibility for an administrative nightmare that isn't going away just because he wants it to, and an island full of hunters that may be placated for now, but could be awoken.

Jack Rackham Appreciation Week - Most Memorable/Favorite Quote

You have the proper codes to respond? I do. Don't. Raise the black instead. Raise the black? He believes we are beneath him, tactically incompetent. Why give him any reason to doubt it?

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.
