Lt. Edward Beamish : He's a goo-?
[Flounders in incredulous dismay]
Lt. Edward Beamish : Captain Tempest, have you no sense of discipline?

Gov. Woodes Rogers : Your mission is to see those goods safely through to Carolina, to bring back the money and the goods that we need.
Capt. Dan Tempest : [Sarcastically] Aye, aye, skip...
