• Abner Hale : You bear the responsibility for the degradations of your men.

  Capt. Rafer Hoxworth : I do.

• Capt. Rafer Hoxworth : Mr. Morris, Mr. Morris!

  [pointing out the native girls swimming towards his ship] 

  Capt. Rafer Hoxworth : I'll have that one there. No, no, Mr. Morris, that one there. Mr. Morris, that one definitely there. Oh, what the hell, Mr. Morris, send the *all* to my cabin.

• Abner Hale : As God's instrument on earth, I order you to take your sailors back to your ship!

  Capt. Rafer Hoxworth : My men are *not* sailors, Reverend. They're whalers. And for over three years they've been on this voyage and they haven't touched land in eight months. Now, the females of Lahaina have got the warmest blood in the Pacific and my men have neither the strength, nor the inclination to fight them off. Neither, might I add, have I.

• Jerusha Bromley Hale : Refer, I'm married.

  Capt. Rafer Hoxworth : Married?

  [looks at Abner, back to Jerusha] 

  Capt. Rafer Hoxworth : Oh, my God, not to him? What did he do? Pray you into bed?

• Capt. Rafer Hoxworth : Rape - is a rotten sport at any time. But, in Lahaina, it's a darn right waste of energy. Now, get out of here and find yourselves some cooperative ones.

• Capt. Rafer Hoxworth : I wanted you more than anything else on this earth. And I could have taken you by candlelight in your father's own house and *you* know that. May the Lord strike me dead if I ever pass up another virgin, as long as I live. What a damn fool. What a God abandoned fool.

• Capt. Rafer Hoxworth : Why you bible-thumping, son of a bitch! Do you want every female I lay my eyes on?
