"This way."
The Bounty
"Court is assembled"
The Bounty
"by the Right Honorable Lords, Commissioners of the Admiralty"
The Bounty
"and I quote: "To enquire into the cause and circumstances of the seizure"
The Bounty
"of His Majesty's armed vessel, The Bounty,"
The Bounty
"commanded by Lieutenant William Bligh"
The Bounty
"and to try the said Lieutenant William Bligh"
The Bounty
"for his conduct on that occasion.""
The Bounty
"Surrender your sword and be seated."
The Bounty
"Lieutenant Bligh."
The Bounty
"Perhaps it would be useful if you told the court in your own words"
The Bounty
"the events of April 28th last year."
The Bounty
"Yes, sir. If it please, my Lords, I will first read a list of the mutineers"
The Bounty
"who seized my ship."
The Bounty
"The crew is not on trial here, Mr. Bligh. You, sir, are on trial."
The Bounty
"The question at issue is how you came to lose your ship."
The Bounty
"To understand that, Captain Greetham, it is essential to know"
The Bounty
"who were the mutineers aboard that ship."
The Bounty
"Alleged mutineers. Continue, Mr. Bligh."
The Bounty
"Fletcher Christian, Masters Mate."
The Bounty
"Wasn't this Christian a friend of yours?"
The Bounty
"He was, sir."
The Bounty
"Fifty guineas says he's dead."
The Bounty
"- Sixty says he's alive. - I'll wager he's still alive."
The Bounty
"How much?"
The Bounty
"We'll dine within the hour."
The Bounty
"- How much? - Sixty guineas."
The Bounty
"Taken."
The Bounty
"I'll be back to collect it."
The Bounty
"William!"
The Bounty
"Fletcher! What are you all doing?"
The Bounty
"One of our members collapsed."
The Bounty
"We're betting on whether or not he's dead."
The Bounty
"- What brings you to this den of iniquity? - Is there somewhere we can talk?"
The Bounty
"It's a breadfruit."
The Bounty
"Breadfruit?"
The Bounty
"The Admiralty has instructed me to lead an expedition,"
The Bounty
"to take breadfruit plants from Tahiti to Jamaica."
The Bounty
"Tahiti?"
The Bounty
"Fletcher, I want you to sail with me again."
The Bounty
"In what capacity?"
The Bounty
"Well, the Admiralty's already assigned a Mr. John Fryer as Master of the ship."
The Bounty
"He's a good man, I think. But I want you to be Master's Mate."
The Bounty
"- If you agree, that is. - Agreed."
The Bounty
"Good, splendid! Good."
The Bounty
"Why take breadfruit to Jamaica?"
The Bounty
"Cheap fodder for the slaves on the plantations there."
The Bounty
"Bananas are very expensive there these days."
The Bounty
"It lacks glory, William."
The Bounty
"Well, I don't have your connections, you see, Fletcher."
The Bounty
"I want to make a name for myself, before I'm too old."
The Bounty
"And this green grocery trip will make your name?"
The Bounty
"Now look, we'll go around Cape Horn to Tahiti."
The Bounty
"We'll pick up the breadfruit then continue on"
The Bounty
"through the Endeavour Straits around the Cape of Good Hope to Jamaica."
The Bounty
"And then back to England. We'll circumnavigate the globe."
The Bounty
"- Yes, but why risk going round the Horn? - What?"
The Bounty
"Because it is the quicker route, Mr. Fryer."
The Bounty
"Quicker if we strike the one week in a hundred"
The Bounty
"when there isn't a storm raging."
The Bounty
"So you would have us go the long way? Around Africa and Australia."
The Bounty
"There and back. Avoid the Horn altogether."
The Bounty
"What conditions do the plants need?"
The Bounty
"Warmth, light and water. I shall be giving up my cabin to them."
The Bounty
"We shall be like little pigs in a stye. Shan't we?"
The Bounty
"No, sir, we shall not. I run a healthy ship, Mr. Fryer."
The Bounty
"I only say the Bounty's too small."
The Bounty
"We should have a frigate, not a chamber pot."
The Bounty
"Yes, and I should have promotion to Captain."
The Bounty
"But the Navy Board would not heed either request. See?"
The Bounty
"Quickly now, children."
The Bounty
"Ah, my little ones."
The Bounty
"They've come to say goodnight."
The Bounty
"Goodnight, goodnight. Off you go..."
The Bounty
"- Aren't you going to say goodnight to Mr. Christian, Mr. Fryer? - Don't I get a kiss?"
The Bounty
"Goodnight, young ladies."
The Bounty
"Goodnight, goodnight."
The Bounty
"William, a toast. To circumnavigation."
The Bounty
"To circumnavigation."
The Bounty
"Circumnavigation."
The Bounty
"And your safe and speedy return."
The Bounty
"Yes."
The Bounty
"We set sail two days before Christmas,"
The Bounty
"23rd December 1787."
The Bounty
"Stand by to set the mainsail."
The Bounty
"What are you staring at me for? Aloft! Loose that mizzen topsail, lively!"
The Bounty
"Remove some of these gussets!"
The Bounty
"Back down in the rigging!"
The Bounty
"Stand by, you crew gunners!"
The Bounty
"Away, you crew gunners."
The Bounty
"Southwest by south. That's your course."
The Bounty
"Southwest by south. Aye, aye, sir."
The Bounty
"Right men! Food up! Come on."
The Bounty
"What's the name of the cook? Lamb? Hey, Lamb!"
The Bounty
"I hope you got some lamb in that stew."
The Bounty
"Hey, is it true what they say about Tahiti?"
The Bounty
"You mean the women."
The Bounty
"Do they really go around with no clothes on?"
The Bounty
"All they wear is tattoos. In wonderful places."
The Bounty
"True?"
The Bounty
"Cross my heart. Paradise."
The Bounty
"You're in my place, Quintel."
The Bounty
"Move yourself."
The Bounty
"Don't look at him. There'll be trouble."
The Bounty
"I said you're in my seat."
The Bounty
"- Piss off. - Bugger off."
The Bounty
"- What did you say? - Shut it, Churchill."
The Bounty
"You keep out of this."
The Bounty
"Look out, he's got a knife."
The Bounty
"Keep it quiet, Churchill."
The Bounty
"Keep it down, lads."
The Bounty
"Churchill!"
The Bounty
"The King."
The Bounty
"The King. God bless him."
The Bounty
"To the ship. May she swim well."
The Bounty
"The ship."
The Bounty
"The men are very quiet."
The Bounty
"Charming tune."
The Bounty
"And a fine musician. We're lucky to have him."
The Bounty
"Yes. He is not there by chance, Mr. Nelson."
