Captain Bligh: Now don t mistake me. I m not advising cruelty or brutality with no purpose. My point is that cruelty with purpose is not cruelty - it s efficiency. Then a man will never disobey once he s watched his mate s backbone laid bare. He ll see the flesh jump, hear the whistle of the whip for the rest of his life.
Fletcher Christian: I was just thinking, sir, that our little errand for groceries might wind up in a page of naval history if we succeed in negotiating The Horn in the dead of winter.
Captain Bligh: Why shouldn t we succeed? Admiral Anderson did.
布莱斯船长:为什么我们不能胜利?海军上将安德森就做到了。
Fletcher Christian: Yes, but of course he didn t choose to attempt it in a ninety-one-foot chamber pot. In any event, his was the only ship to do it and I believe he lost fifty percent of his crew.
Captain Bligh: It is a matter of supernatural indifference to me whether you contaminate the natives or the natives contaminate you. I have but one concern - our mission. Let one of you provoke an incident which endangers it and I shall cause that man to curse his mother for giving him birth.
Captain Bligh: While our mission remains unfulfilled I m not in any port, Mr Fryer, I m command where you may find one day it s always lonely. You see, command allows no intimacies. You can hardly expect unquestioning obedience from last night s partner in a debauch.
Captain Bligh: I m not leaving you Mr Christian, not ever. Go to the dirtiest little corner of the world I ll be there, right behind you, with a rope in my hand.
