Obadiah:
"...you mean, you are sore?"
Mingo:
"Dirt, you're about the dumbest thing I ever seen that wasn't served on toast. Truth is, I was sent out here to haul you back to town, so you could face some rope-justice them folks in Boxtop Hill been wantin' to give you, and I'd get me a full pardon for my troubles, too!"

Obadiah:
"... sent to haul... full pardon?!"

  
   

Mingo:
"That's right! And I might still do it, too, except that this whole pirate co-op thing is a pretty sweet deal the more I think on it, and I feel like stickin' around some. You know they have a great Other-Eye Insurance plan?

But just you remember out here, Obadiah Dirt... I own you, and I can blow the lid off yer whole "Richard Parker" thing any ol' time I want to!"
