Quotes:

[Telling The Boy the story of "The Continuing Saga of Sod's Law - You Just Can't Win", an idealised but thinly-disguised version of his own life with his wife, "The Princess", who has now left him for a new lover, the owner of the Rover 2000S]::The Boy: The Princess? Was she there?::Hiller: Yeah.::The Boy: The Princess who smoked French cigarettes and was beautiful when she wasn't looking.::Hiller: We only had one rule. We didn't let anyone in who had a Rover 2000S. 2000 Smegma.::The Boy: Why?::Hiller: [bitterly] Because people with Rover 2000 Smegmas live in four-bedroom fake Georgian houses. They marry St Bernard dogs called Darling. And they have nasty little kids in green jumpsuits who come in through the window on a wire and say "Gosh!" and all that sort of thing.::The Boy: But someone like that, we'd never have let them in. The Princess wouldn't have liked them at all.::Hiller: No she wouldn't.

[the bank robbers keep deliberately triggering the alarm. Each time, the security guards come out to investigate. By the fourth time, they are very pissed-off]::Young Security Guard: I think they've got this alarm set up all wrong - it only warns you if the place is empty!::Security Sergeant: [on radio] Control? Mobile Alpha Charlie. It's official - it's a fuck-up.

[the security sergeant is giving instructions to the young security guard who is watching a bank of CCTV monitors]::Security Sergeant: That's down in the vaults that leads to the strongroom. Your job is to sit here and watch.::Young Security Guard: There's nothing to watch.::Security Sergeant: That's exactly how it should be. So if you see anything out of the ordinary, like people moving about, you come and tell me. All right?::Young Security Guard: All right, Sarge.::Security Sergeant: [sarcastically] You should pay particular attention to anyone wearing little black masks over their eyes and with sacks marked "Swag"!

[the Wheelman is driving the getaway car after the robbery and hears on the police radio that the police are getting very close]::The Wheelman: I used to live round here. Hold tight.::[he swerves onto a farm track, through some greenhouses and heads towards a fence]::Guv'nor: [shouts] That's a bloody fence! Christ! Where are you going? You stupid... Where are we going now?::The Wheelman: [calmly] We can cut through round here, back onto the estate.::Donkey: [shouts] There's no road. Where is it? There's no road!::[the Wheelman sees two garages with a narrow gap between them]::The Wheelman: Shit! These weren't here last year.::Donkey: [ironically] No? Well they're here now!::[the Wheelman tries to get through the gap, but the car jams, so he reverses and tries again, repeatedly]::Guv'nor: [shouts] Where are you going, Richie?::The Wheelman: Trying to get us out of here.::Guv'nor: [shouts] It won't work!::The Peterman: Can we get out!::The Wheelman: That's what I'm trying to do.::The Peterman: No, get out and walk.::Donkey: Look, you don't understand the basic laws of physics. The hole is too small.::[after many attempts, the Wheelman manages to get the car through the gap]::Guv'nor: Have you *any* idea where you're going?::[after narrowly escaping being crushed by an oncoming lorry as they overtake a coach, they arrive at some waste ground where they dump the car]::The Wheelman: [apologetically] Sorry about the last bit, Guv. Bit untoward.::Guv'nor: Don't worry, Richie. Anyone else would still be modifying greenhouses. Be lucky, son.

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.
