Defending Liberty in Dark Times

Trust and Loneliness in Relationships
Richard Hart
I knew who you were when we met. You were young. I knew it might get tough, but I was prepared. You're a good mother, but at times you've been a fucking lousy wife. Why didn't you come to me? You could have told me how lonely you were. You never trusted me to help you. I'm not saying I was so fucking fabulous, but I was here.

Richard Hart
My condolences. Poor, poor pussy. Can I have my wife back, please?
Barbara Covett

Unexpected Love in Unlikely Places
Billy Mack
I realized that Christmas is the time to be with the people you love.
Joe
Right.
Billy Mack
And I realized that as dire chance and fateful cockup would have it, here I am, mid 50s, and without knowing it I've gone and spent most of my adult life with a chubby employee. And much as it grieves me to say it, it might be that the people I love is, in fact... you.
Joe
Well, this is a surprise.
Billy Mack
Yeah...
Joe
Ten minutes at Elton John's and you're as gay as a maypole.
Billy Mack
I left Elton's, where there were a hefty number of half-naked chicks with their mouths open, in order to hang out with you, at Christmas.
Joe
Well, Bill...
Billy Mack
It's a terrible, terrible mistake, Chubs, but you turn out to be the fucking love of my life. And to be honest, despite all my complaining, we have had a wonderful life.

Meeting Between Quentin and Young Carl

Ah, Carl. My favourite godson... Have we ever met?
Young Carl
I don't think so.
Quentin
Good. There was a lost decade in there somewhere. I always have to check. So... expelled?
[fusses around the room]
Young Carl
That's right.
Quentin
What for?
Young Carl
I suppose smoking was the clincher.
Quentin
Drugs or cigarettes?
Young Carl
Well, both.
Quentin
Well done! Proud of you. So your mum sent you here in the hope that a little bracing sea air would sort you out?
Young Carl
Something like that.
Quentin
Spectacular mistake.

Power Struggle on the Dutchman
Davy Jones
Go! All of you! And take that infernal thing with you. I will not have it on my ship!
[sees Dead Man's Chest being loaded onto the Flying Dutchman]
Lord Beckett
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Because I will. Because it seems to be the only way to ensure that this ship do as directed by the company. We need prisoners to interrogate, which tends to work best when they're alive.
Davy Jones
The Dutchman sails as it's captain commands.
Lord Beckett
And it's captain is to sail it as commanded! I would have thought you'd had learned that when I ordered you to kill your pet. This is no longer your world, Jones. The immaterial has become...immaterial.

Richard Hart
Of course he's innocent! He's fucking fifteen! Are you insane? If you meant to destroy us, why not do it with an adult? That's the convention, it's worked for centuries!

Good News Amidst Impending Disaster
Quentin
Gentlemen, I have some good news and some bad news. Which would you prefer?
Thick Kevin
Good news.
Quentin
Okay. The good news is the engine has exploded and we're all going to die.
Dave
Hello, Dr Dave, Radio Rock. How is that good news?
Quentin
I haven't yet told you how we're going to die. That's the bad news.
Simon
How are we gonna die?
Quentin
We're going to drown in the freezing waters of the North Sea.
Felicity
Dearie me.
Quentin
There is a huge hole in the side of the boat and in an unfortunate development, it transpires that the lifeboats are useless.
Thick Kevin
Actually, that's quite good for you, isn't it? Cause you can't swim, so you'll die quicker.

Quentin

Proud Fatherhood and the Value of Kindness
Dad
Later on I may tell you about Tim's many failings as a man and as a table tennis player. But, important first is to say the one big thing. I've only loved three men in my life. My dad was a frosty bugger so that only leaves dear Uncle Desmond, B.B. King, obviously, and this young man here. I'd only give one piece of advice to anyone marrying. We're all quite similar in the end. We all get old and tell the same tales too many times. But try and marry someone kind. And this is a kind man with a good heart. I'm not particularly proud of many things in my life, but I am very proud to be the father of my son.

Defiance Against the End of Pirate Radio
Quentin
The day has come. Tonight pirate radio dies. From midnight, we are a ghost ship floating without hope on cold and dark waters. You have done almighty work here. Thank you. But your work is done.
The Count
Not mine, sir. I'm an American citizen and I don't give a hootenanny God damn about your nitpicking limey laws. I intend to broadcast from this ship 24 hours a day until the day I die. And then for a couple days after that.
Gavin Cavanagh
Not wanting to sound rude or anything, but don't you think that might be an ever so slightly monotonous experience for the listener? What do you say to 12 hours each, noble sir?
Angus
The way I look at it, the world couldn't survive without my comedy, and who's going to have the moral backbone to play the Seekers when the mood is right?
Dave
They've split up.
Angus
I intend to celebrate the back catalogue.
Dave
I intend to stop you doing so.
Simon
As some of you know, my wife left me after 17 hours of marriage, but I survived that because I live for music. And now, with nothing else to live for, I'm willing to die for it as well.
John
I've always lived for news and weather. Happy to die for them, too. Especially the weather.
Bob Silver
I've got nowhere else to go.
Harold
I have somewhere else to go, but it's Peckham. So I think I'll stick around.
Felicity
Can't let everyone starve. And I'm slightly worried where my increasingly powerful sexuality will take me when I return to normal life.
Thick Kevin
I've got a very strong suspicion that Felicity fancies me. Not about to go anywhere, just when I'm in with a chance.
Young Carl
Obviously, I'm in. You're the only people in the world who like me.

Desire for Help and Memory
Matthias
Mr. Hauser, What is it you want?
Doug Quaid
I want to help you.
Matthias
That is not the only reason you are here.
Doug Quaid
I want to remember.
Matthias
Why?
Doug Quaid
So I can be myself, be who I was.
Matthias
It is each man's quest to find out who he truly is, but the answer to that lies in the present, not in the past. As it is for all of us.
Doug Quaid
But the past tells us who we've become.
Matthias
The past is a construct of the mind. It blinds us. It fools us into believing it. But the heart wants to live in the present. Look there. You'll find your answer.

Bloodlines and the Legacy of Corvinus
Singe
For years, we've been trying to combine the bloodlines. And for years, we've failed. It was useless. Even at the cellular level, our species seemed destined to destroy each other. Yet the key, we knew, was to locate the rarest of bloodlines; a direct descendant of Alexander Corvinus: Hungarian; a warlord who came to power in the early seasons of the 5th century. Just in time to watch a plague ravage his village. He alone survived. Somehow, his body was able to change the disease, mold it to his benefit. He became the first true immortal. And years later, he fathered at least two children who inherited this same trait.
Viktor
The sons of the Corvinus Clan: One bitten by bat, one by wolf, one to walk the lonely road of mortality as a human. It's a ridiculous legend, nothing more!
Singe
That may be, but our species do share a common ancestor.
Viktor
There is a descendant of Corvinus lying there, not three feet from you.
Singe
Yes, but he is already a Vampire. We needed a pure source, untainted; an exact duplicate of the original virus. The Corvinus Strain itself, which we learned was hidden away in the genetic code of his human descendants. Passed along in its dormant form, down through the ages, to Michael Corvin. His blood allows for a perfect union of our two species.
