Anne of the Indies

Capt. Harris: We have no business that I know of.

Captain Pierre François LaRochelle: My ship, sir. We made an agreement, we shook hands.

Capt. Harris: And you failed to keep it. The Sheba Queen is still free to burn and pillage English ships. While all we have of you is the unlikely story that Captain Providence is a woman.

Capt. Harris: Another card, please.

Captain Pierre François LaRochelle: We put our hands to a bargain, Captain Harris. And to make my hand good, I've worn irons. I've been spread-eagled and flogged, I've been under the cutlass of Blackbeard himself. I've called red-handed cutthroats my friend, I've stood by and watched murders - and worse. And that's not all, oh no!

Capt. Harris: Another card, please.

Captain Pierre François LaRochelle: With the daily and nightly prospect of the plank at my back, I've flattered and crawled, made myself "agreeable" in all ways, to the vilest hearted she-monster that ever came out of the sea - and I think all the oceans will never wash me clean again. It's you, gentlemen, who have bungled. I still hold to my bargain!
