Treasure Island: Part Two (1.2, BBC, 1977)

"Tell me, Captain, does what you've said mean you fear a mutiny?"

"That's putting words into my mouth. If I believed that, I'd not be justified in putting to sea."

"Ah."

"I think things are not going right and I'm asking you to take precautions or let me resign. That's all."

"I'll stake my wig you meant to say more than that when you came in."

"You're smart, Doctor, I meant to be discharged. I never thought Mr. Trelawney would hear a word."

"Nor would I! I would've seen you to the deuce had Livesey not been here - but I have heard you, and I will do what you want, but I think the worse of you for it!"

Treasure Island: Part Three (1.3, BBC, 1977)

"You give us the chart and we'll offer you a choice. You can come aboard with us, once the treasure's shipped, and we'll clap you somewhere safe ashore. My word of honour on it. My affidavy!"

"And what's our other choice?"

"We'll divide straws with you, man for man. But I'll give you my affidavy, as before, to speak to the first ship we sight and send 'em here to pick you up. Now, you'll own that's talkin', handsomer than that you couldn't look to get! And I hope that all hands here will overhaul my words - for what is spoke to one is spoke to all."

"Is that all?"

Treasure Island: Part Four (1.4, BBC, 1977)

"I've seen too many die since I fell in with you. There's a thing or two I have to tell you, and the first is this: you're in a bad way. Your ship's lost, your treasure's lost, your men's lost, your whole business has gone to wreck and if you want to know who did it, it was I. I was in the apple barrel the night you spoke to Israel Hands - and he's now at the bottom of the sea. I told every word you said before an hour was out."

"Hands is dead?"

Villains: Grass (1.12, LWT, 1972)

"I've got a horrible feeling that the world is getting very small. I made on out of that coach to collect twenty-five grand - I've got two. I can't even pay you for services rendered."

"You don't have to."
