Hagai: [in Xerxers’ chambers] Queen Vashti, your majesty. [steps aside, revealing the beautiful Queen] King Xerxes: Enter. [gathers his shirt and goes to her, kissing her hand] King Xerxes: The night’s festivities hold not your interests? Queen Vashti: It is long since you summoned me here. [looking at his work table] Queen Vashti: Your hands have not been idle. King Xerxes: Not idle... not gifted either. Queen Vashti: You do know why the Princes have asked you to extend the feasting another night. King Xerxes: [turning to leave] Your to late if you seek me to deny them, especially now. With such clamering to march upon Greece and avenge my father's death. Queen Vashti: [stopping him, pleading] How long have dreamt of molding Persia into a pillar of learning and culture? Afraid to make even the greatness of Greece buy a shadow. You know as well as I that this not something that is won in battle, but in the hearts of men. King Xerxes: [unbelieving] You would have me do nothing then? Queen Vashti: You're no warrior, no soldier... I'd have you stay... enhance your kingdom, preserve your thrown. [hesitates and leaves]

Scroop: I say we kill 'em all now. John Silver: "I say"? What's this "I say"? Disobey my orders again like that stunt you pulled with Mr. Arrow, and so help me - you'll be *joinin'* him! Scroop: Strong talk, but I know otherwise. John Silver: You got somethin' to say, Scroop? Scroop: It's that boy. Methinks you have a soft spot for him. John Silver: Now, mark me, the lot of ya! I care about one thing, and one thing only: Flint's trove! You think I'd risk it all for the sake of some nose-wipin' little whelp? Scroop: What was it now? "Oh, you got the makings of greatness in ya!" John Silver: Shut yer gap! I cozied up to that kid to keep 'im off our scent! But I ain't gone soft!
Al Stump: I put up with your bullshit. I give words, I interpret, I give *life* to your bullshit. And you give me nothing. *Nothing!* But grief. Ty Cobb: You have never been this close to greatness in your short life son. And you love it.
Roy 'Tin Cup' McAvoy: Greatness courts failure.
