Quotes
-
Blackbeard : This be the spot! Get to digging.
Anne Queen : Surely you don't mean for these men to be knowing where we buried our treasure.
Blackbeard : "Our" treasure, my love?
Anne Queen : Ay, ours. And no one else's.
Blackbeard : Oh, no, no, don't concern yourself over a few doubloons.
[showing her the emerald necklace]
Blackbeard : I didn't show these sorry sea dogs the most valuable trinket in me possession.
[putting it around her neck]
Blackbeard : An emerald fit... for a pirate queen.
-
Mick Rory : Captain wants to see you.
Nate Heywood : Aw, man, Sara's here?
Mick Rory : Not that one, you dumbass. I'm talking about the most fearsome pirate queen to sail the seven seas: the Dread Pirate Jiwe.
[indicating the depressed Amaya]
Mick Rory : She needs to loosen up.
Nate Heywood : [catching on] Yeah. I heard she once cut out a man's tongue for not obeying her orders.
Mick Rory : Yeah... and she still carries it to this day.
Toothless Pirate : I never heard of no lady pirate.
Ray Palmer : That's because dead men tell no tales.
Scottish Pirate : They say she lost her ship to a kraken, and in retribution, she hunted down the monster's wee bairn and ate the gupper raw.
Barkeep : I heard she was spat back out o' hell by the devil himself.
Barrel-Chested Pirate : I hear she be more bold and fearless than Captain Blackbeard.
[Blackbeard appears in the door threshold]
Barrel-Chested Pirate : Begging your pardon, Captain.
Blackbeard : What was that you said?
Barrel-Chested Pirate : I have it under good authority we be in the company of the Dread Pirate Jiwe.
Amaya Jiwe : [quietly] Why is everyone staring at me?
Mick Rory : If there's one thing pirates love more than treasure, it's a good story.
-
Blackbeard : The scuttlebutt is you're wanting to join me crew.
Mick Rory : The Dread Pirate Jiwe works for no man.
Amaya Jiwe : What we seek is treasure.
Blackbeard : As does every pirate with his - or her - salt.
Amaya Jiwe : You know, I believe that you have this particular treasure in your possession. It's a necklace with a very large emerald.
Blackbeard : That description doesn't strike a chord.
-
Lt. Robert Maynard : I'm here for the pirate known as Blackbeard.
Blackbeard : I expect you'll be wanting to see me letter of mark.
Lt. Robert Maynard : A forgery, no doubt. Your letter will win no favor with me.
[the Darhks enter; Damien uses his powers to hold Amaya at bay]
Nora Darhk : [holding a pistol on Rory] I wouldn't so much as breathe if I were you.
Damien Darhk : Good evening, Ms. Jiwe.
[taking her totem]
Damien Darhk : They say the third time is a charm, but this charm is the third.
-
Damien Darhk : You know, I must commend you, Lieutenant Maynard, for leading us straight to Blackbeard and his associates.
Lt. Robert Maynard : You're most welcome, Admiral.
Amaya Jiwe : Admiral?
Damien Darhk : I know, right? I look so handsome.
Lt. Robert Maynard : And I'll be made Commodore, once Blackbeard's severed head swings from my ship's bowspirit.
Blackbeard : You know, the last Kingsman who threatened me ended up begging for his own life.
-
Damien Darhk : You may continue all threats and counter-threats as soon as I get what I need: the emerald necklace. Where is it?
Mick Rory : That's Blackbeard you're talking to, and he ain't gonna say...
Blackbeard : I buried it on Grace Island. Would you like me to draw you a map? I can't promise to make it to scale, but, um, I can do my damndest.
-
Blackbeard : I swore I'd never go back to that island. And I'm a man of me word. Fair winds, me hearties.
Mick Rory : [incredulous, as he leaves] Blackbeard's... a coward.
-
Mick Rory : Listen up. The Dread Pirate Jiwe is looking for a crew.
Amaya Jiwe : Your old Captain Blackbeard buried his treasure on Grace Island.
[noticing their reactions]
Amaya Jiwe : Ah... so you've heard the rumors, then, that the treasure is cursed? But while old Blackbeard is afraid of his own shadow, you men... you vile and despicable men, are willing to face Davy Jones himself for a crack at gold and glory! Who's wiling to join me as we take over Blackbeard's ship?
Blackbeard : [entering as they cheer] Mutiny! Is that was this is, ey? You'd rather follow the Dread Pirate Jiwe than your own captain?
[Amaya draws her sword]
Blackbeard : Then I'm bloody joining you. I'll dig up me chest and share the spoils with ye men. Hats off to the Pirate Queen!
-
Blackbeard : Oh, blast! I've-I've-I've left me compass on the ship. It's a family heirloom, so I should...
Mick Rory : Turn back and I'll kill you.
-
Amaya Jiwe : What aren't you telling us, ey?
Blackbeard : Well, in... in me haste, I may have left out some... miniscule details about the cursed necklace. I gifted it to me love and queen, the most devious and dastardly woman I've ever had the pleasure of meeting; apart from you, I mean. But as soon as Annie put it on, something dark and unholy overtook her.
Amaya Jiwe : Totems draw on the life force of their bearer. So if Anne was as wick as you suggest, the totem would've only amplified her worst impulses.
Blackbeard : It turned her into a monster.
Mick Rory : How did you live to tell the tale?
Blackbeard : Well, I... I did the only decent thing any man would do. I put a musket ball in her head and buried her along with the treasure.
-
Sara Lance : [while kissing, Ava suddenly stops] What?
Ava Sharpe : [turning her around] Oh, no, the kissing was great. It's just...
Blackbeard : We claim this ship and ye two women as ours!
Ava Sharpe : [in disbelief] Come on.
-
Blackbeard : [watching his crew fight Sara and Ava] Come on, you namby-pamby. They're mere lassies!
-
Blackbeard : The Waverider, ey? She's, uh... uh... an unusual ship. But I can think of no more appropriate vessel for the Dread Pirate Jiwe. Thanks for saving me life, and for stopping your bonnie mates from keelhauling me.
Amaya Jiwe : Well, thank you for leading me to the accursed treasure. And make sure you tell them that Captain Jiwe spared you.
-
Amaya Jiwe : All right, listen up. We can't let the Darhks beat us to Grace Island and to the Earth totem, so... we're in need of a ship.
Blackbeard : You want to sail the Queen Anne's Revenge? I told you, that necklace is cursed.
Mick Rory : What? You're gonna let a curse stop you from taking the gold?
Blackbeard : [as if it's obvious] Aye.
Amaya Jiwe : Why did you become a pirate in the first place, eh? To let an admiral get the best of you? Or to claim your destiny on the wide open sea? I don't know what's waiting for us on the other side of this journey, but whatever it is, it beats cowering in some alleyway waiting for your black beard to turn gray.
