Being that far away, you see things differently. Helped me see what we are. Maybe what we ain't. You saved me from something awful, Jack. And I owe you my life for it. Maybe there's some part of that you just can't owe.
But you can owe it to Max?
I don't feel that way with her.

I say, I saw that this situation of mine was the precise situation of every mortal that breathes; only, in most cases, he, one way or other, has this Siamese connexion with a plurality of other mortals.
Moby Dick by Herman Melville (chapter 73, The Monkey-Rope)

Just noticed something about Link’s Island Lobster Shirt accessories in TotK: he’s wearing a bracelet! But not just any bracelet!
It’s a traditional sailors braided bracelet!
It’s said that these bracelets are for good luck, but it’s also a popular fashion choice in the sailing community—especially aboard tall ships.
These bracelets are one continuous knot that is tied directly onto one’s wrist or object of choice (it’s often used on the helm to indicate the top “king spoke” when the rudder is centered, and on railings or other surfaces to help seize in place other decorative nautical “fancywork”).

Everyone is a monster to someone. Since you are so convinced I am yours, I will be it. / Progress cannot begin and suffering will not end until someone has the courage to go out into the woods and drown the damn cat.
Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen / Black Sails (2014-2017)
[image id: a series of 19 images from Black Sails, with the lyrics of Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen superimposed on them.
"Well, everybody's got a secret, son," over Anne looking at Max's naked form through a door at the brothel.
[image id: a series of 12 images from black sails with lyrics from Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska superimposed over them in red.
"From the town of Lincoln, Nebraska," over a crowd of people at the docks in Nassau.
"with a sawed-off .410 on my lap" over Flint's hand holding a smoking gun.
"Through the badlands of Wyoming." over dark blue water.
"I killed everything in my path," over Flint shooting a gun. He is aiming straight out of the screen and his face is obscured by sparks.
"I can't say that I'm sorry for the things that we done," over Flint's face in profile in the scene where he says to Miranda (not pictured) that this ends when he grants England his forgiveness.
"At least for a little while me and her we had us some fun," over Silver's face during his descent into the darkness conversation with Flint.
"They declared me unfit to live," over Flint and Vane on trial in Charleston. They are viewed from behind sitting side by side.
"said: into that great void," over ghost Miranda screaming.
"my soul'd be hurled," over the preacher practicing his sermon in the cornfield.
"They wanted to know why I did what I done," over Flint and Silver's sword-fighting practice. Flint is holding a sword out to Silver by its hilt.
"Well, sir," over Silver's and Flint in the jungle on Skeleton island. Silver's face is in focus in the foreground and Flint is visible blurred over his shoulder. Silver's face is partially cut-off by the edge of the frame.
"I guess there's just a meanness in this world," over Max talking to Grandma Guthrie (not pictured) about needing to drown the damn cat.
