Captain Kidd Quotes:
[from the scaffold]
Capt. William Kidd: So here's me bequest to them what hunts what I have hid and to their sons sons down through the corridors of time: greed that spawns murder; hatred that corrodes the soul; ambition - the foulest strumpet of all.
Heckler at Kidd's hanging: [to hangman] Hey, Dick - Dick Kent. Sell me a bit of that rope for a sixpence will you?
Capt. William Kidd: Save your money, me lads. You can have it all for nothing if you'll only step here and wear it!
[to hangman]
Capt. William Kidd: Hurry up, Kent. Can't wait forever.

[first lines]
Capt. William Kidd: Stab me, there's a pretty sight!
Orange Povey: It'll be prettier still when the fire reaches the magazine, Captain.
Cyprian Boyle: Pity though. Lots of stout seamen among 'em. They've been with us a long time.
Capt. William Kidd: We can none of live forever, Mr. Boyle. Dead men don't talk.

Capt. William Kidd:
I'm one of nature's gentlemen, but I need polish, my good man. If I'm to improve myself...
Cary Shadwell: A gentleman only employs the term "My good man" when addressing lower servants or his inferiors, sir.
Capt. William Kidd: You see...

Capt. William Kidd: ...that's why I want you.
[sucks his teeth again]
Capt. William Kidd: With my upbringing...
Cary Shadwell: A gentleman never sucks his teeth, sir. Many a man's social career has been ruined by less, sir.
