Fortunes of Captain Blood (1950)

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.

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.
