Silver quotes from Black Sails

Silver

Me, I can't help myself. I see an opportunity, I take it. It's a sickness. Truly.

I'm not a joiner. I never have been. But I'm willing to do it now.

I don't want to earn money. I don't want to join another crew. If we're being honest, I don't really want to be on this crew a day longer than is absolutely necessary. I don't want to be a pirate. I'm not interested in the life. I'm not interested in the fighting, not interested in the ships. I don't care much for the sea, while we're on the subject. But being a pirate on this crew for a little while longer, it offers me an opportunity I don't believe I can find anywhere else on earth--one big prize. And with it freedom. From water, from hunger, from wages.

[to Flint] This crew has spilled a great deal of blood to make your name what it is. It doesn't belong to you. It's a jointly held asset belonging to every man on this crew who sacrificed some part of himself to build it. They have a say in how it is managed and I am the voice of that.
