Captain Bully Hayes : [to an interviewer, while waiting to be hanged] Are you putting down in that book that I'm a pirate?
Writer : Well, in a manner of speaking, I suppose one could say that I am, yes.
Captain Bully Hayes : Good! Because I am! And a damn good one too. Oh, I never flew the skull and crossed bones. That's for your fictioneers. But I have sought pleasure and profit all my life at sea without regard for any man's law. That's not to say I didn't have my morals and standards. I got morals and standards. I never killed anyone who didn't have it coming. I never cheated an honest man. I never pillaged and I never raped.
