Son of Fury: The Story of Benjamin Blake

Sir Arthur Blake:
How would you like to live with me at Breetham? A gunsmith's forge is no place for a Blake. Plague take me, you have the blood if you were born on the wrong side of the blanket! You'll be brought up as a gentleman.

Sir Arthur Blake:
Have you ever fought with your fists, Ben?

Benjamin Blake:
Yes.

Sir Arthur Blake:
I don't mean vulgar scuffling in the stables. I mean the rules of the prize ring.

Benjamin Blake:
No, sir.

Sir Arthur Blake:
Take off your coat, and your education will begin. [as Ben is removing his coat, Sir Arthur suddenly punches him to the ground] Your first lesson - Never be taken unawares!

Benjamin Blake:
[Seeing sailing ship approach] This time is no derelict; Eve...

Eve:
You will go! If you stay out of pity, I will throw myself in sea.

Benjamin Blake:
Eve!

Eve:
I can only be happy if you are happy.

Eve:
[raising fork up inside her fist] What's this?

Benjamin Blake:
It's to eat with.

Benjamin Blake:
[seeing Eve fail to pick up any food] [laughs] No, no, no; like this.

Eve:
[failing to pick up food again, at Ben laughing] Why?

Benjamin Blake:
Go on, try again!

Eve:
No; I am too stup'!

Benjamin Blake:
No, perhaps I am the one that's stupid. [looks at utensils] These things have no place here.
