Dialogue
edit- Edward Kenway: It's not about need, Caroline. I want food that don't make me sick. I want walls that hold back the wind. I want a decent life.
- Edward "Blackbeard" Thatch: Says Hornigold, a pirate now too proud to call himself one!
- Edward Kenway: He prefers caution to cannons.
- Edward "Blackbeard" Thatch: Caution's nothing without charisma! If a man plays the fool, then it's only fools he'll persuade! But appear to be the Devil... and all men will submit.
- Edward Kenway: And would you be the Devil?
- Edward "Blackbeard" Thatch: For an audience, aye. It's all a big show. [Approaches Stede Bonnet, speaking in a deep, menacing voice] Give your quarry something to fear... some hellish thing, from a fevered dream... and men will drop to their knees, pleading for their Lord, before aught else!
- Stede Bonnet: Oh, God...
- Edward Kenway: Looks fine.
- Edward "Blackbeard" Thatch: [speaking normally again] 'Course it does.
- Ben Hornigold: You could've been a man who stood for something. But you've a killer's heart now, with nothing but metal to show for all your blunders.
- Edward Kenway: A damn sight better than you, Ben. The heart of a traitor, who thinks himself better than his mates.
- Ben Hornigold: Aye, and proven true! What have you done since Nassau fell, huh? Nothing but murder and mayhem.
- Edward Kenway: YOU THREW IN WITH THE VERY KIND WE ONCE HATED!
- Ben Hornigold: No! These Templars are different; I wish you could see that. But if you continue on your present course, and you'll find you're the only one walking it... with the gallows... at its end.
- Edward Kenway: It may be. But now the world has one less snake in it. And that's enough for me.
- Edward "Blackbeard" Thatch: In a world without gold, we might have been heroes!
