Quotes:

Blackbeard: Ben, I believe I'm going to catch me a rat!::Ben Worley: Why, you hungry? [motions to the rope Blackbeard is holding, which goes over the side of the ship] . Oh, you're goin' fishing for him, aye?::Blackbeard: NO, I ain't goin' fishin' for him, aye!

Blackbeard: Gilly, Gilly, give him just a tickle with the point of your blade, at about his liver.

[blasting Henry Morgan's ship with cannon fire]::Blackbeard: Arrr, he's like a duck without wings! We'll close for the kill and then board her. And I'll dangle Uncle Harry from the fore yard!! Heh, he he he!

Morgan's Aide: Sir Henry! I've just come from the jail, and all the prisoners have been liberated!::Sir Henry Morgan: What?! When did this happen?::Morgan's Aide: The jailer said, Blackbeard did it.::Sir Henry Morgan: Blackbeard? Blackbeard's dead.::Morgan's Aide: He ran a cutlass through the jailer, and he swears it was Blackbeard, with the eyes of a devil!::Sir Henry Morgan: [pounds the desk and jumps up] When did this happen?::Morgan's Aide: About three hours ago. The jailer's died.::Sir Henry Morgan: Blackbeard... [almost to himself] Suppose Blackbeard, why should he want to enter the jail? [snaps his fingers] To get a crew! What would he do with a crew when he got it? [turns to his aide] Was his ship in the harbor when you came in?::Morgan's Aide: She was just sailing out!::Sir Henry Morgan: So that's it! The black-hearted butcher. He thinks he can hoodwink old Henry Morgan, well that's a game at which two can play. He might run from me... but he wouldn't run from the sight of a rich, Spanish galleon! So I think we'll have some devilment tonight in the Nicholas Channel. We'll take that galleon!... and use it as a bait for Blackbeard. When he closes on her, he'll find himself outgunned, outfought, outwitted, and dead as mutton! Come on, let's be at it!

Blackbeard: [gesturing with his cutlass at Edwina's neck] Morgan! You take this ship, and you take her head with it!::Sir Henry Morgan: Call off your men, and cast adrift.::Morgan's First Mate: But we're winning, sir! We have them at our mercy, and the ship is ours.::Sir Henry Morgan: You heard my orders! Cast off, I say!::Morgan's First Mate: Aye aye, sir! [to the crew] Cut loose those srapnels! Cast off, solid!::Blackbeard: Heh, heh, I knew it...::[Blackbeard's crew cheers and waves their swords at Morgan and his crew]::Blackbeard: We'll call this one a draw, Morgan!

Blackbeard: What be your name, girl?::Edwina Mansfield: Blackbeard!::Blackbeard: No, I be Blackbeard!

Edwina Mansfield: [to Blackbeard] You slimy coward! You'd make the flesh crawl on a squid!
