Ruthlessness in Leadership and Statecraft
Sir Francis Walsingham
Madam, if I may. A prince should never flinch from being blamed for acts of ruthlessness which are necessary for safeguarding the state and their own person. You must take these things so much to heart that you do not fear to strike. Even the very nearest that you have if they be implicated.

Negotiating with Pirates: A Disinclined Response
Elizabeth
Captain Barbossa, I am here to negotiate the cessation of hostilities against Port Royal.
Barbossa
There are a lot of long words in there, Miss; we're naught but humble pirates. What is it that you want?
Elizabeth
I want you to leave and never come back.
Barbossa
I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request. Means "no".
Elizabeth
Very well. I'll drop it.
[dangles medallion over the sea]
Barbossa
Me holds are burstin with swag. That bit of shine matters to us? Why?
[Nonchalantly at first, then curious]
Elizabeth
It's what you've been searching for. I recognize this ship! I saw it eight years ago on the crossing from England!
Barbossa
Did ya, now?
Elizabeth
Fine. Well, I suppose if it is worthless then there's no point in me keeping it.
Barbossa
No! Ah... You have a name, Missy?
Elizabeth
Elizabeth... Turner. I'm a maid in the Governor's household.
Barbossa
Miss Turner...?
Pintel
Bootstrap.
[to Raggetti]
Barbossa
And how does a maid come to own a trinket such as that? Family heirloom, perhaps?
Elizabeth
I didn't steal it, if that's what you mean.
[uncertain]
Barbossa
Very well, you hand it over and we'll put your town to our rudder and ne'er return.
Elizabeth
Our bargain?
[she hands it over]
Bo'sun
Still the guns and stow em. Signal the men, set the flags and make good to clear port.
[after a nod from Barbossa]
Elizabeth
Wait! You have to take me to shore. According to the Code of the Order of the Brethren-
Barbossa
{{anchor|guidelines}}First, your return to shore was not part of our negotiations nor our agreement so I must do nothing. And secondly, you must be a pirate for the pirate's code to apply and you're not. And thirdly, the Code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules. Welcome aboard the Black Pearl, Miss Turner!

Credentials and Experience in Speech Therapy
King George VI
You give a very noble account of yourself.
Lionel Logue
Make inquiries. It's all true.
King George VI
Inquiries have been made. You have no idea who I have... breathing down my neck. I vouched for you. And you have no... credentials.
Lionel Logue
But lots of success! I can't show you a certificate. There was no training then. Everything I know, I know from experience, and ] was some experience. My plaque says, "L. Logue, Speech Defects", not "Doctor". There are no letters after my name. Lock me in the Tower.
[[World War I|that war; goes to his knees]
King George VI
I would, if I could.
Lionel Logue
On what charge?
King George VI
Fraud. With war looming you've saddled this nation with a voiceless... king! You've destroyed the happiness of my family, all for the sake of ensnaring a star patient you couldn't... possibly hope to assist! It'll be like ]. Only... Mad King George The Stammerer. Who let his people down so badly in their hour of need- What are you doing? Get up! Y-you can't sit there! GET UP!

King George VI

Debate on Literature and Human Nature
Abbé du Coulmier
It's not even a proper novel. It's nothing but an encyclopedia of perversions. Frankly, it even fails as an exercise in craft. The characters are wooden, the dialogue is inane. Not to mention the repetition of words like "nipple" and "pikestaff".
Marquis de Sade
There I was taxed; it's true.
Abbé du Coulmier
And such puny scope. Nothing but the worst in man's nature.
Marquis de Sade
I write of the great, eternal truths that bind together all mankind. The whole world over, we eat, we shit, we fuck, we kill and we die.
Abbé du Coulmier
But we also fall in love, we build cities, we compose symphonies, and we endure. Why not put that in your books as well?

The Consequences of Greed and Cursed Existence
Barbossa
There be the chest. Inside be the gold. And we took em all. We spent em and traded em and frittered em away on drink and food and pleasurable company. The more we gave em away, the more we came to realize, the drink would not satisfy, food turned to ash in our mouths, and all the pleasurable company in the world could not slake our lust. We are cursed men, Miss Turner. Compelled by greed, we were, but now we are consumed by it. There is one way we can end our curse. All the scattered pieces of the Aztec gold must be restored and the blood repaid. Thanks to ye, we have the final piece.
Elizabeth
And the blood to be repaid?
Barbossa
That's why there's no sense to be killin ya, yet. Apple?

Questioning the Nature of God
Sir Francis Walsingham

Finding Faith in Their Voice
Lionel Logue
It's true, I'm not a doctor. And yes, I acted. A bit. Well...I recited in pubs, I taught elocution in schools. When the Great War came, all our soldiers were returning to Australia from the front, a lot of them shell-shocked, unable to speak. Somebody said, "Lionel, you're very good at all this speech stuff, you think you could possibly help these poor buggers?" I did muscle therapy, exercises, relaxation, but I knew I had to go deeper. Those poor young blokes cried out in fear. No one was listening to them. My job was to give them faith in their own voice, and let them know a friend was listening.

The Uncertainty of Survival and Return
Barbossa
Still thinking of running, Jack? Think you can outrun the world?...You know, the problem with being the last of anything, by and by, there'll be none left at all.
Jack
Sometimes things come back, mate. We're living proof, you and me.
Barbossa
Aye, but that's a gamble of long odds, ain't it? There's never a guarantee of coming back. But passing on, that's dead certain.
Jack
Summoning the Brethren Court then, is it?
Barbossa
It's our only hope, lad.
Jack
That's a sad commentary in and of itself.
Barbossa
