Quotes:

Marquis de Riconete: It is bad enough that I should have business dealings with vermin. I don't wish them to infest my family. Senor Fairfax, if you attempt to see my niece again, I shall have the distinct pleasure of watching you being torn apart by the sharks.

[first lines]::Ship's Lookout: Captain Blood! Captain Blood, there's a prize off our starboard bow flying Spanish colors.::Capt. Peter Blood: Bosun.::Boatswain: Aye, sir?::Capt. Peter Blood: Man the guns. Cram on full sail.::Boatswain: [blows whistle] Man the guns!

King Charles II: You have a galleon of 40 guns. Therefore, we charge you with the personal responsibility of capturing this Captain Blood.::Marquis de Riconete: I shall do everything in my power, Sire. But of course your Majesty realizes that this is no common criminal you send me after. Blood is a learned, intelligent man. A doctor.::King Charles II: A doctor? Are the English so hated that their doctors must turn to piracy for a living?

Capt. Peter Blood: Forget our own men? Slaves of Spain rotting away in the Marquis' dungeons? Do you remember what it was like before we escaped from slavery? The stench from those filfthy holes? The swill? The chains rotting away at the flesh from your bones? The whips and the branding irons?::Tom Mannering: Yes, I remember.::Capt. Peter Blood: Don't ask me to forget then.

Tom Mannering: How do you propose to get into the town? You can't just walk in, have yourself announced to the Marquis.::Capt. Peter Blood: I'll leave that to Lady Chance. She's obliged me more than once. Perhaps she'll oblige me again. I've great faith in the lady.::Tom Mannering: You'll need it.

Capt. Peter Blood: What is that?::Pepita Maria Rosados: Oh, just the slaves. They're on their way back from the Marquis' pearl fisheries; the ones that are left.::Capt. Peter Blood: The ones that are left?::Pepita Maria Rosados: There are fewer every day. Last week, thirty-four. Yesterday, thirty-two. Today, who knows?::Capt. Peter Blood: What happens to them?::Pepita Maria Rosados: What happens to anyone who has to dive for pearls in water filled with sharks.

Isabelita Sotomayor: [in response to Captain Blood throwing away a pearl] How clumsy of you, peddler.::Capt. Peter Blood: Forgive my hands, Senorita. They are not accustomed to pearls.::Isabelita Sotomayor: Perhaps you would appreciate them more if you were to dive for one yourself.::Capt. Peter Blood: Perhaps.

George Fairfax: This is a night for genius performers, an innkeeper turned actor and a fruit peddler who is both doctor and fencing master.::Capt. Peter Blood: You seem to forget, Senor Fairfax, that you owe me your life - a debt I may later wish to collect.

Capt. Peter Blood: It's another kind of surgery I'll be performing tonight, Mr. Fairfax.::George Fairfax: Look to your own wounds, Doctor Peter Blood.::Capt. Peter Blood: I will.

Capt. Peter Blood: To the sharks, Fairfax, to join the slaves you've sent to them.

Famous quotes by Billy Bragg:

"You can only make political music if you have a context. . . . You cannot make political music in a vacuum. It'd be like me writing songs now about Margaret Thatcher. It'd just make no sense. But I think in the wake of 9-11 people are trying to articulate their feelings."

"And since September 11 and the war with Iraq, I think people are more attuned to music that's got something to say. It's just a shame that such things have to happen for more people to get into it."

"And just because you're gay, I won't turn you away."

"That's what I'm about -- getting engaged. Too many people don't wade in the mud with the politicians."

"I never met a politician who didn't want to be a guitar player in a rock band. I've got the opportunity to say what I believe in."

"To have accountability you must get out and vote!"

"A song is like a newspaper. It's capable of carrying a number of different messages. Some of them are advertisers, some of them are editorial, some of them are reportage, some of them are sport. So, as a songwriter you can use any of those."

"A part of my job is to bring the news from elsewhere to here and to take back some news from here. . . . You can't change the world singing songs, believe me, but you can offer people an alternative perspective, even on their own situations. So that's what I'm trying to do."

"All the great political music was made at the height of political confrontations."

"Being spokesman for a generation is the worst job I ever had."

"An isolationist America is no bloody use to anyone."

"I try and write honestly about what I see around me now."

"In that sense, I became politicized because the people in the coal mining villages who were involved in the struggle knew why they were there. But they couldn't understand why some pop star from London would want to be there."

"We read our own political content into The Clash, and they accepted it."

"That taught me one lesson which is that you're naive to believe that bands can change the world. Bands are very naive to think that just if their audience thinks that they can change the world, that they can. That was quite a lesson for my career, really."

"By the time I was 19, punk had occurred. It had a completely different cultural dynamic to it which rejected everything and started again from the year zero."

"Were it not for the Clash, punk would have been just a sneer, a safety pin and a pair of bondage trousers."

"So, in some ways, the political songs tend to be a bit more like reportage, whereas the love songs tend to be like novels, you can pick them up off the shelf and go into them any time."

"There are quite a few honest songwriters out there writing about relationships and their own personality traits. But for some reason, once they step out of the bedroom, their honesty doesn't seem to come with them."

"I came into this whole business by going to see Rock Against Racism gigs with the Clash."
