“Well, I’ve heard of him myself, in England,” said the doctor. “But the point is, had he money?”
“Money!” cried the squire.

[Image description: a series of edited gifs from Black Sails. Each gif is a combination of multiple scenes fused into one gif with text from Treasure Island edited on top.

1: A shot of the Walrus’ black flag as seen through a spyglass is edited over the scene where Jack Rackham speaks to Mark Read in the tavern. As the flag flutters and shifts, Jack and Mark come into clearer focus. The text reads, “Have you heard the story?”

2: Two scenes are edited together so that they bleed into each other. James Flint and Miranda Barlow are sitting at Peter Ashe’s dinner table, illuminated by candlelight. Miranda is looking down with a preoccupied expression. Flint reaches over to take her hand and says something to her. The other scene shows John Silver and Flint sitting next to each other. Silver hands Flint a cup, and he looks down at it and turns it over in his hands while saying something to him. The text reads, “What were these villains after but money?”

3: Max strokes a devastated Anne Bonny’s face. Edited over the back of Max’s head is a scene showing Anne and Jack sitting beside a campfire and talking to each other. The text reads, “What do they care for but money?”

4: Flint embraces Thomas Hamilton in a plantation field. The scene where Madi and Silver reunite is overlaid on top. The text reads, “For what would they risk their rascal carcasses but money?”

The full quote reads, “Have you heard the story? What were these villains after but money? What do they care for but money? For what would they risk their rascal carcasses but money?”

The caption reads:

“Well, I’ve heard of him myself, in England,” said the doctor. “But the point is, had he money?”

“Money!” cried the squire.
