Arrrr! That’s what you want to hear right? Arrrr! Ahoy matey! Shiver me timbers! All that pirate drivel the tourists are always asking me to repeat. Bollocks. I shan’t tell you the truth. You’re not worth it. What would you do with it? I know what you’ll write: ‘Arrr, said Blackbeard.’ ‘Said Blackbeard.” Blackbeard never said no such thing. Go. Get that parrot out of my face.
Thatch: Here’s to our Pirate Republic, Lads. We’re prosperous and free, and out of the Reach of Kings, Clergy, and Debt Collectors.
Kidd: Near five-hundred Men now pledge their Allegiance to the Brethren of the Coast in Nassau. Not a bad Number.
Thatch: Truth. Yet we lack sturdy Defences. If the King were to attack the Town, he’d Trample us.
Edward: Then let us find the Observatory. If it does what these Templars claim, we’ll be unbeatable.
Thatch: Not that Twaddle again, Kenway! That’s a Story for Schoolboys. I mean proper Defences. Steal a Galleon, Shift all the guns to one Side. Would make a nice Ornament for one of our Harbours.
Adéwalé: It will not be easy to steal a full Spanish Galleon. Have you one in mind?
Thatch: I do, Sir. And I’ll show you. She’s a Fussock she is. Fat and slow.
Are you not loved at Home? Are you not wanted by your Wives and Families and Countrymen? How else to explain your Government’s complete Disinterest in your Well-Being? Hostages for Medicines, these were my only Terms!
And yet, six Days of pure fucking Silence! So I must conclude that you Men are the Pariahs of Charles-Towne, and I would profit better by using your Organs for Chum and your Bones for Char!
By Christ! This is my Predicament: to kill ya, or to Press you into my Service. It’s a Decision I’ll make hardly, but not with Remorse.
All right, lads. I’ll give you Blackbeard’s honest opinion.
You ask me, can this new Captain promise you a life of Prizes, Plunder, and Adventure…?
Aye. For amongst all the Gentlemen of Fortune sailing these West-Indies, he ranks amongst the most clever…
There was a time when I thought myself the deadliest Scourge of these Seas…
But this man is a fearsome Dog that feeds off Trouble and Turmoil…
I’ve seen him clear the Deck of a Spanish Galleon like it were nothing…
fighting like a Devil dressed as a Man.
And he’s a canny one. Knows his way around every Crag and Crevasse of these islands.
So if it’s Fortune and Adventure you seek, then Captain Edward Kenway is your Man…
Only DON’T meddle in his private Affairs… for there’s more Mystery of that man… than even I dare ask.
Now don’t sit there like a Barrel of wet Fish. We’re celebrating my Retirement!
Uncork this Man’s Breakfast!
Yesterday Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag won Canadian Video Game Awards for “Game of the Year 2013”, “Best Console Game Award 2013”, “Best Game Design Award 2013”, AND “Best Writing Award 2013”
Thatch: Give your Quarry something to fear, some hellish Thing from a fever’d Dream, and Men will drop to their Knees pleading for their Lord before aught else!
Stede: Oh God…
Edward: Looks fine.
Thatch: ‘Course it does.
Happy Halloween!
Hornigold: Remember, Thatch! Keep your Cannons corked!
Thatch: Piss off, Ben!
Historically, Hornigold was said to be Blackbeard’s mentor.
