Остров сокровищ (Сокровища капитана Флинта) (Серия 2) (57:38 mark)

I like it more this way. The real quote is:

"There was some that was feared of Pew, and some that was feared of Flint; but Flint his own self was feared of me." - Long John Silver, who was ship's quartermaster under the Captain Flint in "Treasure Island."

Pirate quartermasters (quarter deck masters), like pirate captains, were usually elected by their crews. It was the quartermaster's responsibility to lead the pirate boarding party when coming aboard another ship.... The quartermaster ranked higher than any officer aboard the ship except the captain himself, and could veto the captain's decisions whenever the ship was not chasing a prize or engaged in battle. The quartermaster also was chiefly responsible for discipline, assessing punishments for crewmen who transgressed the articles. Several quartermasters, notably Calico Jack Rackham, became captains after the previous captain was killed or deposed.
