Emery Quotes in The New World (2005)

Captain Christopher Newport: Tonight we shall sleep aboard our ships, everyone in full armor. In the morning, we will chop down every tree within half a mile of the moorage, and use the straightest limbs to erect a line of watchtowers and to build our fort. When we have done that, we set our wheat and barley, put up houses and lay in firewood. Slackers will be whipped at the sight of their transgression.

Emery: Sir.

Captain Christopher Newport: Yes, Emery?

Emery: When might we, uh, be going out to... poke about, sir?

Captain Christopher Newport: We are not here to pillage and raid. We are here to establish a colony.
