Fletcher Christian:
[Lying on the beach in Pitcairn]
So, it was your work, the burning. Was it? You filth. John Mills:
I had no want in me to harm you. For the love of God, believe I regret what has happened to you. We all do. But each man has to follow his own belief, no matter what. You said this many times after the mutiny. So I did what I thought I had to do. I burned the Bounty for the good of all. It wasn't in bad faith. It was just bad luck. Fletcher Christian:
For the good of all, Mills? John Mills:
Yes, sir. Fletcher Christian:
But why did you have to burn the Bounty? You had no reason to fear me. John Mills:
We were afraid, Mr. Christian. We were afraid that you were going to take us to London by force. We are sick and sorry for what has happened to you. We will never forget what you've done for us. Fletcher Christian:
It's alright, Mills. It wasn't your fault. Bligh left his mark on all of us. John Mills:
Goodbye, Mr. Christian
