John is a man of focus. Commitment. Sheer will. Something you know very little about. I once saw him kill three men in a bar… with a pencil. With a fuckin’ pencil. Suddenly one day he asked to leave. It was over a woman, of course. So I made a deal with him. I gave him an impossible task. A job no one could have pulled off. The bodies he buried that day laid the foundation of what we are now. And then, my son, a few days after his wife died… you steal his car, and kill his fuckin’ dog.

[Jonah](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1008415/?ref_=tt_trv_qu): Yes! So I ran. I ran and I ended up here. And now everyone’s in terrible danger all because of me. I- I’m afraid the only thing left is to be thrown into the sea!

[Larry](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1007740/?ref_=tt_trv_qu): Awww, you don’t have to do that. We got a plank.

[Larry opens the entryway and a plank board pops in]

[Larry](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1007740/?ref_=tt_trv_qu): You can just walk off.

[Jonah](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1008415/?ref_=tt_trv_qu): [after a short pause] Yes, thank you. You’re too kind.

You poor thing. Pirates! You mean like walking the plank? Buried treasure? Hack, slash, off with his head, and the Jolly Richard, and everything?

And when you’re a professional pirate-  
You’ll be honest, brave, and free!

I don’t think much of our profession. But contrasted with respectability, it is comparatively honest.

There was someone a long time ago. Before I came to the States. Her father didn’t want her to see me. She was from a very respectable family. Mine was, you know, not so respectable. Her dad went nuts every time she’d take off to see me.

Well, my grandpa always taught me to bowl 15 frames. It’s like I told you before, we Amish, we do everything half again as hard as you do. Ten frames. That’s for Quakers.
