[moments after meeting for the first time]
Look, I know this is going to sound silly, but I think I love you. I think might even want to marry you.
God, that was a short love scene!

The Pirate Movie quotes
Oh, I love you. I'll always love you, come what may.
"Come what may"? We'll all be murdered in our beds come what may.
Well run. For God's sake run!
Death before dishonor. Besides, have you tried running in one of these things. It's a real bitch.
Frederic, these are the 1880s. You can't live your life by the outmoded conventions of a neo-imperialist society. Find your true center!
What? You mean Zen piracy?
[unlaces her shirt and pulls it down to reveal her corset]
Frederic, have you ever worn a whalebone corset? Well no, we established that, didn't we? It chokes and strangles, Frederic! I won't be choked an strangled by someone else's dumb ideas of custom and duty! [to stone statue] Would you, Harry, would you? [to Frederic] Never to know the rich and real wonderous person beating and throbbing inside me. Frederic, can you see me throbbing?
I see! I see! I'm throbbing too!
You poor thing. Pirates! You mean like walking the plank? Buried treasure? Hack, slash, off with his head, and the Jolly Richard, and everything?
Roger.
Oh, Roger I love it.
No, Frederic without a "k".
Mabel, also without a "k". God, we have so much in common.
You'll be hung.
Oh I am, I am, and very well thank you.
You're not gay, are you?
The way you and the Pirate King get around in those rather feminine, pleated shirts and all that leather.
Ruth By the way, was that a definite no back there?
Ruth, I don't want hurt your feelings, but tell me honestly. Now, compared to other women, are you beautiful?
Ruth Oh, I've been told so.
Ah, but lately?
Ruth Yes, by Sam. 'Course he was drunk.
What's the age of consent around here?
Eighteen.
Good! I'm old enough.
Oh, hiding.
My Frederic, hiding? It cannot be the lion-heart troubles at the coming conflict. My love - a wimp!
No, Mabel. A terrible disclosure's just been made.
Then zip it up!
[The Pirate King has just cornered Frederic in their swordfight. The Pirate King has his sword cornered between Frederic's legs.]
Drop it, or...
Nuts!
Them, too!
[scaring off Mabel's sisters and making them drop their flowers]
I'm sorry! I didn't mean to deflower you!
[sitting and rubbing his back as a horse runs off]
Ohhh! Oww! Ouch! Well I've been as sea since I was one, how the hell would I know how to ride a horse?
Man, I'm older than the Beatles, but I'm younger than the Rolling Stones!
The body's an eight, the brain's a ten, so let's go.
