Jim Hawkins
- Long John Silver: Silver's the name, Long John Silver they calls me. At your service, sir.
- Squire Trelawney: Mr. Silver, Trelawney's my name, Squire Trelawney. And this is our cabin boy: Jim, Jim Hawkins.
- Long John Silver: Aye, Matey. Smart as paint I'll warrant.
- Jim Hawkins: Smart enough to see you've only one leg, sir.
- Squire Trelawney: Jim Boy!
- Jim Hawkins: Yes, sir.
- Long John Silver: You're pretty smart, Jim. So was that French gunner who touched off the ball that blew that ol' leg o' mine overboard.
- Jim Hawkins: [At the "Admiral Benbow" Inn, Jim comes into Billy Bone's room, sees him peering out the window with a telescope] What are you looking for?
- Billy Bones: Huh? Strangers, sonny. Strangers. I don't like strangers coming aboard me suddenly. Makes my spine jump like a porpoise, it does. What might your name be?
- Jim Hawkins: Jim Hawkins.
- Billy Bones: Now, look here, Jim. You and me's going to be mates. You'll get a silver 4-penny bit every month if you watches out for strangers and comes and lets the old captain know when they tops the horizon.
- Jim Hawkins: Well, what manner of strangers?
- Billy Bones: Seafarin' men.
- Jim Hawkins: Well, all seafaring men?
- Billy Bones: No, no, no, son. There's a special cut of the jib to these seafarin' men. But most especially, I want you to keep your eye open for a seafarin' man with one leg.
- Jim Hawkins: A seafaring man with one leg?
- Billy Bones: Aye.
- Jim Hawkins: Upon my word, sir, what shall I tell them? What do they want?
- Billy Bones: Never you mind *what* they want! You go on down below and get me a noggin of rum. A *double* noggin, Jim, because I'm becalmed. Becalmed in a sea of troubles, and I got to fill my sails again.
- Jim Hawkins: Yes, sir.
- [leaves to go get the rum]
- Jim Hawkins: You said you'd made a treaty
- Long John Silver: Treaties are only good until you find a chance to break 'em, matey.
- Jim Hawkins: That isn't very honorable.
- Long John Silver: Hmmm..it's smart, Jim. Ya see what being honorable done for me? I had to show them the map, didn't I?
- Jim Hawkins: Why were you keeping it from them?
- Long John Silver: There's too many of them to share the treasure with. I'm just tryin' to figure a way to get rid of about half of them.
- Jim Hawkins: Oh, I see! More murder!
- Long John Silver: Oh no, not murder. Tactics!
