Taboo
"With whom? He said the company was called Delaney Nootka Trading."
Taboo
"He is planning to reopen up the trading post to assert his ownership."
Taboo
"That fucking man will hang for treason!"
Taboo
"Sir, I already have a strategy in my head."
Taboo
"Sir."
Taboo
"Why?"
Taboo
"Why wouldn't he even look at our offer?"
Taboo
"Why would he defy logic and the King?"
Taboo
"I believe he is simply trying to raise the price."
Taboo
"Why did he know so much about the border negotiations, hmm?"
Taboo
"How did he know they were taking place in Ghent?"
Taboo
"The location is a state secret."
Taboo
"And where did he get the money to buy a ship?!"
Taboo
"Hmm?"
Taboo
"Jesus Christ!"
Taboo
"Am I the only one in this company with a brain?"
Taboo
"They got to him first."

"Atticus!"
Taboo
"Atticus!"
Taboo
"James Delaney."
Taboo
"Well, look at you."
Taboo
"Sit down."
Taboo
"Give me back my horse."
Taboo
"What's the biggest thing you saw?"
Taboo
"For my files... my book about the world."
Taboo
"What's the biggest thing you saw in Africa?"
Taboo
"An elephant."
Taboo
"How tall was it?"
Taboo
"Atticus, give me my horse back."
Taboo
"100 foot high, some of them, I've heard."
Taboo
"Atticus, you stole my horse and you left your name..."
Taboo
"so what do you want?"
Taboo
"As you may recall,"
Taboo
"I'm going to write a book one day about all I know about the world."
Taboo
"I don't care. And I've been to most places,"
Taboo
"but not the devil's back yard where you went."
Taboo
"What's the biggest thing you saw, and the smallest?"
Taboo
"And also the money your father owed me."
Taboo
"Ah! See, there it is."
Taboo
"Nothing changes."
Taboo
"Are you more comfortable with business than with learning, James?"
Taboo
"£20 is what I'm owed."
Taboo
"I know you have gold... you just bought a ship... so pay up."
Taboo
"For what? - Well, you know, when someone wants a man killed,"
Taboo
"from cradle to grave... birth, love, death,"
Taboo
"it all goes into the river of my book. Hmm!"
Taboo
"When someone wants a man killed, they come to Atticus."
Taboo
"Well, about a year ago, a gentleman comes in,"
Taboo
"sat right there where you are now,"
Taboo
"and says, "How about old Horace Delaney,"
Taboo
""the mad bastard lighting fires by the river?"
Taboo
""Say he falls in, the current takes him, how about that?""
Taboo
"So I says to the gentleman..."
Taboo
""I sailed with old Horace all around the world.""
Taboo
"See? So I said, "You go or I'll slit your gizzard"
Taboo
""and drop you in the current you had planned with Captain Delaney.""
Taboo
"And who was this gentleman?"
Taboo
"What was the smallest thing you saw?"
Taboo
"Human kindness."
Taboo
"An ant."
Taboo
"Was he a company man?"
Taboo
"I'd say he wasn't East India."
Taboo
"More from up Leadenhall."
Taboo
"I could tell by the cut of his jib."
Taboo
"He's dead."
Taboo
"Well, £15... ...and the return of your horse."
Taboo
"I will give you £15, minus the heels on my boots..."
Taboo
"and I will need your eyes and ears from now on as well."
Taboo
"Yeah, well, the enemies you're stirring up, James,"
Taboo
"you'll be needing them, my boy."
Taboo
"Toe and arse this morning, sir."
Taboo
"Oh, God."
Taboo
"I know about his toe. What happened to his arse?"
Taboo
"One can only imagine."
Taboo
"How is your toe this morning?"
Taboo
"My toe is the first item of business."
Taboo
"You evidently don't read the papers."
Taboo
"Oh, you mean the blockade?"
Taboo
"Fuck them!"
Taboo
"Now, the red crosses are the positions of the American ships."
Taboo
"They are attempting to blockade our trading routes to the West."
Taboo
"And the blue crosses are the Royal Navy ships,"
Taboo
"um, preparing to engage."
Taboo
"Why did you make the Americans red?"
Taboo
"Why did you make them red? It's us who should be red."
Taboo
"We wear red."
Taboo
"The Admiralty drew up the map."
Taboo
"are supplying the blockade with tack and pork,"
Taboo
"but they will soon run short of powder."
Taboo
"Get the Admiralty to draw the map again,"
Taboo
"and make the British red and the Americans..."
Taboo
"green or something, since they are so new."
Taboo
"But of course, your Highness."
Taboo
"I was lying in the North Sea. My body was England."
Taboo
"I was an island... Coop, pay attention!"
Taboo
"All these shrimps, like devils, with little bows and arrows,"
Taboo
"were surrounding me, firing into my flesh."
Taboo
"You really must try and drink more from the green bottle"
