Episode Quotes |
| |
Jack: What is all the racket? For the love of God, it’s an indecent hour.
Emilia: It’s 4:00 in the afternoon.
Jack: Apology accepted.
| Emilia: Franklin was born to British parents who clearly infused him with proper traits of ingenuity, self-discipline, and culture.
Jack: Oh, really? Well, let me ask you a question. If his parents were so thrilled to e a couple of English muffins, why were they willing to suffer a four-month-black-plaque-rat-infested ship cruise just to get the hell out of there?
| Jack: Wait a minute. You can’t pass for a French soldier with those jubblies. You gotta hide them.
Emilia: It may surprise you to know, Jack, they’re not detachable.
| Emilia: Ten of your American dollars says God is a woman.
Jack: Well, that explains why we’re always trying to please her and nothing we ever do is good enough.
| Emilia: Jack, Jack, Jack, you must learn to think three-dimensionally.
Jack: Oh, I do. What are you, 36-24-36?
| Ben Franklin: May I suggest that we make like shuffleboard players and get the PUCK out of here.
| Jack: Anyone ever tell you you got a dirty mouth?
Blackbeard: Ya, your mother when I was showing her how to wax my plank.

Emilia’s submarine wouldn’t most likely be able to go forward because of the paddles wheels. While the lower half would push water back the upper half would push and equivalent amount of water forward causing it to remain in place.

(Referring to Benjamin Franklin.)
Jack: See, that’s why he’s on the c-note, baby.
The c-note, of course, is the hundred dollar bill. The problem is that Benjamin Franklin didn't appear on the hundred dollar bili until 1928.
| Blackbeard: Then after a quick dip in the local gentlemen’s establishment, I discovered the painful sensation of lowing fireballs out of me Long John Silver.
Long John Silver is a fictional character in the novel Treasure Island, by Robert Louis Stevenson. It wasn't published until the 1880's though.
| Jack: here we are in a splashy entrance and all your proper English mind can concoct is, “Your carriage awaits”? This is Ben Franklin, not Cinderella.
Cinderella is a classic rags to riches tale that has roots in literature that date back to first century BC Greece. The most modern and now common version has Cinderella the step-daughter of a mean woman who gets a magical makeover and swoons a young prince.
