- Captain Charles Vane: You know who I am? What you cannot know, is where I come from, what I once was. If you knew that, I imagine you would've made different choices today.
- Tom: [Tom and his two brothers are confronting Blackbeard, who they know as Drummond] Are you calling my sister a liar?
- Blackbeard: Well. You're here. I can think of at least three lies she must have told you to bring that about. First, I imagine she told you that I retired from a prosperous trade to settle with her here. What she likely did not mention is that trade was high seas piracy. Second, that my name is Drummond. But when I plied that trade, I was called Teach. And third, clearly she led you to believe that you could point your sword in my direction, and survive the experience. This too, is something less than the truth.
