Vallo Quotes in The Crimson Pirate (1952)

Vallo: Why did you bolt your cabin door last night?

Consuelo: If you knew it was bolted you must have tried it. If you tried it, you know why it was bolted.

Vallo: [narrating] Remember, in a pirate ship, in pirate waters, in a pirate world, ask no questions. Believe only what you see. No, believe half of what you see.

Baron Jose Gruda: You may be over-confident, Captain Vallo. There are 200 of the King's marines aboard this vessel.

Vallo: And only 20 pirates. That puts the odds slightly in my favour. Better surrender the ship.

Vallo: You've sold me Humble Bellows - and to a king's flunky!

Humble Bellows: Aye. 'Tis my modest opinion that no man can fly pirate colors who's not willing to sell his friend, his sweetheart, or his mother.

Baron Jose Gruda: Well spoken, Mr. Bellows.

Vallo: Foul spoken it is, Humble Bellows. You've turned your hand against your captain's back. Yellow was never a pirate's colour.

Slimy: Nor rescuing a fair maiden a pirate caper.

Vallo: Gather round, lads and lasses, gather round.

rebel: You killed Baron Gruda?

Vallo: If I did a thing like that, you wouldn't need the guns I want to sell you. I'm a pirate, mate, not a dog killer!

Humble Bellows: Be that bit of fluff El Libre?

Vallo: That's the bit of fluff that's taking us to him.

Consuelo: You are a fighter. Fight with us. Fight for something decent.

Vallo: Not I. All my life I've watched injustice and dishonesty fly the flag of decency. I don't trust it.

Humble Bellows: Thou hast a generous choice: the gallows, or the sea.

Prof. Prudence: [walks to Vallo] If it won't crowd you?

Vallo: I'd rather you weren't coming, but I don't want to seem inhospitable.

Baron Jose Gruda: Bored?

La Signorita: If only there were something to break the monotony of this voyage.

Vallo: [drops in] Hands aloft, please.
