JACK RACKHAM, BLACK SAILS, EPISODE XXVIII There is nowhere to retreat to. And given how much we have sacrificed to earn this battle, how can we do anything other than see it through?

JACK RACKHAM, BLACK SAILS, EPISODE XXVII There's treasure inside that box, a handful of which could provide a lifetime of prosperity. Facing that kind of temptation, there are few men I would trust to self-deny. But it is not the treasure that concerns me most. Charles Vane's sacrifice is in that box. If your man is unsuccessful in seeing his rescue, Charles Vane's death is inside that box, along with my good name, along with her lost love, along with your late quartermaster's life. All the awful sacrifices made to assemble that box are now part of its contents, and those things are sacred things that I trust in no man's hands.

JACK RACKHAM, BLACK SAILS, EPISODE XXVI "You people, incapable of accepting the world as it is" says the man to whom the world handed everything.

JACK RACKHAM, BLACK SAILS, EPISODE XXV We're all villains in Nassau. Don't think because you're new, you're any different.

JACK RACKHAM, BLACK SAILS, EPISODE XXIV So I have begun the duel between myself and our Lord Governor. The rules are simple: I will deny him the cache. No matter what sort of inducements he offers or pain he inflicts, I will deny him the cache, and so I will deny him the victory. And in doing so, I will ensure that whatever Nassau is come Christmas, English will not be it.

JACK RACKHAM, BLACK SAILS, EPISODE XXII We were so close to accomplishing something that would have written our names into history. There's no piece of the world for sale that can replace that.

JACK RACKHAM, BLACK SAILS, EPISODE XXI I never approved of Eleanor Guthrie's harsh mothering of this place. I believe my record on that issue is in good order. That said, if you're going to behave like children, then I will be your daddy.

JACK RACKHAM, BLACK SAILS, EPISODE XX Because Henry Avery set his camp here and said, "This is a place for free men." And because you sailed from here and made this place feared. Because Henry Jennings and Benjamin Hornigold and Sam Bellamy gave Nassau life.
