Quotes from
Jim Hawkins: Pirates, Captain Flint! Pirates!

Squire Trelawney: Better ask Captain Smollett. Five days, he's been selecting a crew. Six men, all he's got to show for it.

I didn't waste my time poring over his credentials. All the credentials I needed was a taste of his ham and his buttered eggs!
