Quotes
-
Man in Black : I will give you one hundred guineas in gold, and safe passage to America.
Patrick Harper : America? That'd be nice. But you see, the King of England, owes me last month's wages. And I'd never sleep easy in America knowing that that bastard owes me a shilling!
Man in Black : You would die for a shilling?
Patrick Harper : That's what I signed on to do.
Man in Black : You will have to do it.
Patrick Harper : [hefts his rifle] It's a grand day for it!
-
Man in Black : When you bury me... no priests!
-
Man in Black : There are two Spains, Lieutenant. My brother's Spain is a monastery - Silence and superstition. My Spain is a court - Science and scholarship. If you were Spanish, which would you choose?
Richard Sharpe : I'm neither monk nor prince. So I would choose a tavern.
-
Man in Black : You say you are an Irishman. Why should you be loyal to the British dogs, who want to take you to Lisbon to shoot you?
Patrick Harper : Jesus, you took the words right out of my mouth.
Man in Black : I can help you. Give me the box?
Patrick Harper : And if I do?
Man in Black : You will be rich.
Patrick Harper : And if I don't?
Man in Black : You will be dead.
Patrick Harper : Hmm... well, you're having the best of the argument so far.
