• Gentleman Brown : If an army couldn't get this treasure out, what makes you think that we can?

  Cornelius : The General was too ambitious. We just need to eliminate a certain... person.

  Gentleman Brown : You mean murder?

  Cornelius : Justice. Kill one pompous fool...

  Gentleman Brown : Let's see now: You're out, he's in - and *he's* the fool?

• Gentleman Brown : Now, where is this gold kept, is it guarded, if so, how, and by whom?

  Cornelius : How do I know I can trust you?

  Gentleman Brown : You don't know.

  Cornelius : What do you think?

  Schomberg : [shrugs]  I'm a silent partner.

  Cornelius : Then I suppose we'll have to take each other's word as gentlemen?

  Gentleman Brown : [sighs]  I suppose.

• Cornelius : [talking about his abdomen]  Oh, I feel a gripping pain here, probably something I ate.

  The General : Probably a precious stone perhaps. Like all thingsgreat and small, it will pass, and when it does, give it back.

• Cornelius : Do their spears not frighten you?

  The General : Fools frighten me.

• Cornelius : What do you think of before a battle? Death? Killing? God? A woman!

  The General : I think only of what the enemy is thinking.

• Schomberg : The Captain of this ship is... do you know Gentleman Brown?

  Cornelius : For this sort of work, we don't need any gentlemen.

  Schomberg : [laughs]  This "Gentleman" Captain Brown has given more business to Death than the bubonic plague. From Java to Fiji, he's wanted for piracy, slavery, mutiny, rape, murder, and some things that aren't even mentioned in the Bible!
