Jagger: Now, there's only one fellow cunning enough to devise such a plan to be rid of me, to send me home in fraudulent triumph. Blackbeard is emerging from me home, leaving him free to wreak havoc upon the world. Must I wreak havoc upon you to learn precisely what his plan might be?
Tom: The Commodore has you busy, I see. James: Well, he likes to work in mysterious ways, his wonders to perform. Tom: I'm not sure wonders is quite the word you're looking for.
Blackbeard: I grant you, none of my crew is a stranger to theft, but as a breed, we do have a tendency to be a bit direct about the process. Tom: You do look a man in the eye when you're robbing him, I'll give you that. Blackbeard: While you—you're the kind of fellow who robs a man and is halfway home before he knows it.
James Balfour: My apologies, Commodore. Blackbeard: Tish. It's only a diamond. O f course, it's of tidy value to someone. Take it to the right place, to London or Paris, and men will risk the gallows for want of it.
Begum Samsar: How does a man acquire such a fortune so quickly? Blackbeard: A man sells something. Begum Samsar: What was it, this thing you sold? Blackbeard: A clock. Begum Samsar: Made of what, God's teeth?
James: Well, he likes to work in mysterious ways, his wonders to perform.
Tom: I'm not sure wonders is quite the word you're looking for.
Blackbeard: Time's winged chariot, Mr. Lowe. It focuses the mind.
Tom: You do look a man in the eye when you're robbing him, I'll give you that.
