  • [Billy Bones has apparently died] 

    Rizzo : He died? And this is supposed to be a kids' movie!

    Billy Bones : [Billy Bones suddenly wakes up and, without opening his eyes, grabs Gonzo's nose to pull him closer]  Jimmy-Jim-Jimmy-Jim-Jim-Jim-Jim! You've always been a decent sort to old Billy Bones.

    Gonzo : I'm not Jimmy-Jim-Jimmy-Jim-Jim-Jim-Jim.

    [Nods at Jim] 

    Gonzo : *He's* Jimmy-Jim-Jimmy-Jim-Jim-Jim-Jim.

    Billy Bones : [Billy Bones grabs Jim's shirt and pulls him closer]  Jim?

    Jim Hawkins : Yes, Captain?

    Billy Bones : Jimmy-Jim-Jimmy-Jim-Jim-Jim-Jim!

    Jim Hawkins : Yes, Captain, what is it?

  • Billy Bones : Beware lads! Beware.

    Jim Hawkins : What, the one-legged man?

    Billy Bones : Aye. But also, beware runnin' with scissors or any other pointy object. It's all good fun, until somebody loses a - Ahhhh!

  • Jim Hawkins : Kill Captain Smollett, and you'll have to kill me.

    Gonzo : Kill Jim, and you'll have to kill me.

    Squire Trelawney : Kill Gonzo, and you'll have to kill me.

    Rizzo : Kill Squire Trelawney and Mr. Bimbo, and you'll have to... negotiate strenuously.

    [Silver turns to try to escape only to run into Benjamina and a gang of pigs] 

    Benjamina Gunn : Going somewhere, John-John?

    Long John Silver : Well, Master Hawkins, it seems your little family has come together against me.

  • Jim Hawkins : I hate my life.

    Gonzo : I hate your life, too.

    Rizzo : If I had a life, I'd hate it.

  • Squire Trelawney : Well, gentlemen, this is definitely a genuine bona-fide treasure map.

    Jim Hawkins : Really?

    Squire Trelawney : Oh, yes. Mr. Bimbo told me so.

    [pause] 

    Squire Trelawney : Oh, Mr. Bimbo lives in my finger. He's very smart. He's been to the moon.

    [puts finger to his ear] 

    Squire Trelawney : Oh, thank you... twice.

    Rizzo : I smell a bozo.

  • Captain Abraham Smollett : Where to, Captain Hawkins?

    Jim Hawkins : To wherever the wind may take us!

    Gonzo : Off to Zanzibar to meet the Zanzibarbarians!

    Rizzo : Oh, brother! Here they go again!

  • [Jim and Gonzo have been listing the different directions of the compass and what lies that way] 

    Mrs. Bluberidge : To the northwest dirty dishes!

    Gonzo : How does she do that?

    Jim Hawkins : Might as well start. I'll wash.

    Rizzo : I'll dry.

    Gonzo : I'll break.

  • Jim Hawkins : That's the raging volcano? He's a frog.

    Rizzo : Hey, hey, maybe he gets hopping mad.

  • Long John Silver : Aw, hell, Jim. I could never harm you. You're honest and brave and true. You didn't learn that from me.

    Jim Hawkins : I learned it from my friends, Mr. Silver. Now, take your oars and row away. I never want to see you again. Ever.

  • Blind Pew : [stroking Jim's hair]  Oh a pretty little girl is it? Yes, take me to Billy Bones, ma pet!

    Jim Hawkins : You've got it all wrong, there's no Billy Bones here, and I'm not a girl!

    Blind Pew : I maybe visually challenged, but I can SEE, YOU'RE LYING.

  • Jim Hawkins : Here you go, your bread and water for the day.

    Mad Monty : But I ordered shrimp scampi!

    Long John Silver : It's more than y'deserve y'villainous dolts!

  • Jim Hawkins : I'm sorry your present didn't work out.

    Long John Silver : Aww, Jim. Smollet sails by rules and laws. That's what being a captain is all about. Me, I sails by the stars.

    Jim Hawkins : Stars?

    Long John Silver : North, Jim. Find me north out there among them stars.

    Jim Hawkins : [pulls out compass]  Well, that's easy...

    Long John Silver : [takes compass from Jim and holds it overboard]  Ah yeah, but what if you don't have a compass?

    Jim Hawkins : Long John, please don't drop it! It was my father's. It's all I have of his. Please... please...

    Long John Silver : [hands it back]  I'm sorry, lad. I were only fooling. How old were you when he died, then?

    Jim Hawkins : Seven.

    Long John Silver : I were eight when my father died at sea. First mate, he was.

    Jim Hawkins : My father was a first mate, too!

    Long John Silver : Was he now? By the powers, what a coincidence!

    [points to the night sky] 

    Long John Silver : Now, Jim, that be Polaris, the North Star. Even in the China Sea, that's north.

    Jim Hawkins : [points to the star]  North. Polaris. So, we must be heading southwest.

    Long John Silver : Smart as paint you are, lad! Smart as paint! Now, that gets ol' Long John to wondering: why would we be sailing southwest? The scuttlebutt among the crew is that, um, we're sailing for buried treasure... and, uh, someone on board has a map. 'Course, none of my concern, Jim. I'm just a ship's cook. Such matters are best suited to Captain Smollet. He runs this ship, not I.

    Jim Hawkins : Come on, Long John. You could captain this ship.

    Long John Silver : That I could, lad. Maybe someday I will.

    [laughs] 

  • Jim Hawkins : [sung]  I look around here and I want to cry.

    Rizzo : Ah, me too.

    Jim Hawkins : [sung]  I feel like the world is passing me by.

    Gonzo : It is.

    Jim Hawkins : [sung]  And I just can't help but wonder am I doomed to wash and dry? And is it a curse I'm under to do it till I die.

    Gonzo : Oh, I hope not.

    Jim Hawkins : [sung]  When I could be an explorer...

    Gonzo : Sure you could.

    Jim Hawkins : [sung]  ... sailing off to distant lands...

    Gonzo : Wait! Not so fast.

    Jim Hawkins : [sung]  ... 'stead of spending every afternoon just getting dishpan hands. My future looks like nowhere that I want to be.

    Jim Hawkins , Rizzo , Gonzo : [sung]  There's got to be something better, something better...

    Jim Hawkins : [sung]  There's got to be something better than this for me.

  • Dr. David Livesey : [looking at the treasure map]  Say, I know what's happening here. You chaps are planning to sail to this island, aren't you? To dig up this treasure.

    Jim Hawkins : Yes, but we must be quiet about it.

    [whisper] 

    Jim Hawkins : There are pirates looking for this map.

    Gonzo : [normal voice]  Yeah, and they want to KILL us for it! Isn't that exciting?

  • Jim Hawkins : Welcome aboard, Captain Smollet.

    Mr. Samuel Arrow : And welcome to your lady pig friend.
