Quotes from the Movie Mutiny on the Bounty
They respect but one law - the law of fear...I expect you to carry out whatever orders I give, whenever I give them.
Capt. William Bligh
The ship's company will remember that I am your captain, your judge, and your jury. You do your duty and we may get along. Whatever happens, you'll do your duty.
Capt. William Bligh
During the recent heavy weather, I've had the opportunity to watch all of you at work on deck and aloft. You don't know wood from canvas! And it seems you don't want to learn! Well, I'll have to give you a lesson.
Capt. William Bligh
I'll give you water. Mr. Morrison. Keel haul this man.
Capt. William Bligh
Can you understand this, Mr. Byam? Discipline is the thing. A seaman's a seaman. A captain's a captain. And a midshipman, Sir Joseph or no Sir Joseph, is the lowest form of animal life in the British Navy.
Capt. William Bligh
I've never known a better seaman, but as a man, he's a snake. He doesn't punish for discipline. He likes to see men crawl. Sometimes, I'd like to push his poison down his own throat.
Lt. Fletcher Christian
Now you've given your last command on this ship. We'll be men again if we hang for it.
Lt. Fletcher Christian
I'll take my chance against the law. You'll take yours against the sea.
Lt. Fletcher Christian
When you're back in England with the fleet again, you'll hear the hue and cry against me. From now on, they'll spell mutiny with my name. I regret that.
Lt. Fletcher Christian
To the voyage of the Bounty. Still waters of the great golden sea. Flying fish like streaks of silver, and mermaids that sing in the night. The Southern Cross and all the stars on the other side of the world.
Midshipman Roger Byam
These men don't ask for comfort. They don't ask for safety...They ask only the freedom that England expects for every man. If one man among you believed that - one man! - he could command the fleets of England. He could sweep the seas for England if he called his men to their duty, not by flaying their backs but by lifting their hearts - their..., that's all.
Midshipman Roger Byam
