The Bounty

Seaman John Adams: Any fool can steer a ship, sir. It's just knowing where to take it.

David Nelson: Mr. Bligh, when my spirit is gone there will be nothing but flesh remaining. I beg you, use that poor flesh to save the others.
Bligh: No, no, Mr. Nelson. We're civilised men, not savages. And as civilised men we shall die. Have no fear.

Bligh: The Royal Navy is not a humorous institution, sir, and insubordination is no laughing matter.
