Sam Spade: You killed Miles and you're going over for it.

Dr. Peter Blood: Up that rigging, you monkeys! Aloft! There's no chains to hold you now. Break out those sails and watch them fill with the wind that's carrying us all to freedom!

Dr. Peter Blood: It's a truly royal clemency we're granted, my friends... one well worthy of King James. He spares us the mercifully quick extinction of the hangman's rope... and gives us the slow death of slavery. He grants us our lives in exchange for living death.

I'm not fit for any place of honor or trust! Expel me, not that boy!

Auda abu Tayi: What troubles the Englishman?
Sherif Ali: The one he killed is the one he brought out of the Nafud.
Auda abu Tayi: It was written then. Better to have left him there.

Vicar: This is the People's War. It is our war. We are the fighters. Fight it then. Fight it with all that is in us and may God defend the Right.

Eliza Doolittle: The difference between a lady and a flower girl is not how she behaves, but how she is treated.
