Dona Maria Alvarez de Cordoba Quotes in The Sea Hawk (1940)

Dona Maria Alvarez de Cordoba: I'm not in the habit of conversing with thieves. I thought I made that quite clear, Captain Thorpe.

Capt. Geoffrey Thorpe: Why, yes, all except your definition. Tell me, is a thief an Englishman who steals?

Dona Maria Alvarez de Cordoba: It's anybody who steals... whether it's piracy or robbing women.

Capt. Geoffrey Thorpe: Oh, I see. I've been admiring some of the jewels we found in your chest... particularly the wrought gold. It's Aztec, isn't it? I wonder just how those Indians were persuaded to part with it.
