Black Sails Season 2 Episode 4: "XII" Quotes
I fear that to take that fort would be to divide this island in the most dangerous way. To force men to take sides against each other, at a time when our very survival demands the very opposite.
Mr. Scott

Flint
Max: What is happening here - the three of us - it is only temporary. A state of denial until she finally makes a choice.
Rackham: A choice between you and I? Anne and I have been by each others sides since she was thirteen years old. We have sailed together, we've killed together, we have shared things you couldn't begin to imagine. You've shared a bed with her for a week.
Max: You would be amazed what could change in a week in my bed.
Hamilton: When my father arrives, I would like to propose to him that we don't hang the pirates; that we pardon them.
Flint: I'm sorry, what was that?
Hamilton: I want to pardon them.
Flint: You want to pardon them?
Hamilton: Yes
Flint: How many?
Hamilton: All of them.
Flint: Alright.
Hamilton: The island needs commerce to survive. It needs labor, it needs men and women vested in its interests. Don't these men fit that description? Couldn't they become part of the solution?
Eleanor: Captain Vane's issued a reply to your ultimatum. It's being read aloud on the beach as we speak. I think you should see it.
Flint: Give us the room.
Hornigold: I have as much right...
Flint: Now please. You must ask yourselves who represents the greater threat to your interests. My men in this fort or the madman on the water.
