Captain Sao Feng

— I'm sorry, Jack, but there is an old friend who wants to see you first.
— I'm not certain I can survive any more visits from old friends.

There is no honour to remaining with the losing side. Leaving it for the winning side, that's just good business.

— It's an odd coincidence, isn't it'? The East India Trading Company finds me the day you show up in Singapore.
— It is coincidence only.

— All men are drawn to the sea, perilous though it may be.
— And some men offer desire as justification for their crimes.
