Which character in "Mutiny on the Bounty (1935)" said...

So you think you are a fan of "Mutiny on the Bounty (1935)." Let's see how well you know it. Match the following lines with the characters that spoke them. Can you get them all right?

  1. During the recent heavy weather, I've had the opportunity to watch all of you at work on deck and aloft. You don't know wood from canvas! And it seems you don't want to learn! Well, I'll have to give you a lesson.

  2. [about Bligh] I've never known a better seaman, but as a man, he's a snake. He doesn't punish for discipline. He likes to see men crawl. Sometimes, I'd like to push his poison down his own throat.

  3. [to a crewman who begs for water] I'll give you water. Mr. Morrison. Keel haul this man.

  4. To the voyage of the Bounty. Still waters of the great golden sea. Flying fish like streaks of silver, and mermaids that sing in the night. The Southern Cross and all the stars on the other side of the world.

  5. Can you understand this, Mr. Byam? Discipline is the thing. A seaman's a seaman. A captain's a captain. And a midshipman, Sir Joseph or no Sir Joseph, is the lowest form of animal life in the British Navy.

  6. [to Christian] They respect but one law - the law of fear...I expect you to carry out whatever orders I give, whenever I give them.

  7. [to Bligh] Now you've given your last command on this ship. We'll be men again if we hang for it.

  8. [to Byam] When you're back in England with the fleet again, you'll hear the hue and cry against me. From now on, they'll spell mutiny with my name. I regret that.

  9. [to Bligh] I'll take my chance against the law. You'll take yours against the sea.

  10. These men don't ask for comfort. They don't ask for safety...They ask only the freedom that England expects for every man. If one man among you believed that - one man! - he could command the fleets of England. He could sweep the seas for England if he called his men to their duty, not by flaying their backs but by lifting their hearts - their..., that's all.

  11. The ship's company will remember that I am your captain, your judge, and your jury. You do your duty and we may get along. Whatever happens, you'll do your duty.
