Israel Hands Quotes in Treasure Island (1950)

[Mr. Hands chases Jim Hawkins up the ship's rigging into the crow's nest, but Jim threatens him with a pistol]

Jim Hawkins: Not another step!

Israel Hands: Jim, I reckon I'll have to strike my colors. That comes hard from a master mariner to a ship's yonker like you, Jim. But you're like Silver said: smart as paint.

Jim Hawkins: One more step, Mr. Hands, and I'll blow your brains out!

Israel Hands: Now, now, matey.

[pulls a knife from his boot]

Israel Hands: Matey...

[throws the knife into Jim's shoulder, who promptly blasts Mr. Hands in the face with the pistol, sending him falling into the water]
