Captain Flint:
[Arguing with Miranda about the possibility of asking Peter Ash for help,] This is too important to put all our fates in the hands of one man. Especially a man so committed to seeing me and everyone else I know hanged in his harbor!

Miranda Barlow:
There is no other way to achieve what you want to achieve.

Captain Flint:
Yes, there *is*! It is sitting on a beach filled with Spanish soldiers, and I am through delaying!

Miranda Barlow:
There is no other way once you're willing to tell the truth about your intentions here!

Captain Flint:
[Grimly] I think that I have made my intentions very clear.

Miranda Barlow:
No! You've been anything but clear. You say you fight for the sake of Nassau, for the sake of your men, for the sake of Thomas! And his memory. But, the truth of the matter is it isn't for any of those things.

Captain Flint:
What the *f**** do you think I am fighting for?

Miranda Barlow:
I think you're fighting for the sake of fighting! Because it's the only state in which you can function. The only way to keep that voice in your head from driving you mad!

Captain Flint:
What are you talking about? What voice?

Miranda Barlow:
[Gently] The one telling you to be ashamed of yourself. For having loved him. [He sits down heavily as memories flood him] You were told that it was shameful. And part of you believed it. Thomas was my husband. I loved him, and he loved me. But, what he shared with you... it was entirely something else. It's time you allowed yourself to accept that.

Captain Flint:
[Voice gruff with grief and shame] The only thing I'm ashamed of... is that I didn't do something to save him... while we had the chance. That instead I listened to you.
