  • Most of Raisuli's snarking.
  • During the opening attack, one of Raisuli's men puts a fancy lampshade on his head. Said lampshade covers his entire head and he's later seen blindly riding around and swinging his sword while wearing it.
  • After the opening attack is over, Raisuli is presented with a prize horse as spoils. He gallantly mounts it...and then said horse starts bucking and fighting. Raisuli gets tangled in several trees, hits his head on several branches, has his clothing pulled over his head, and is then unceremoniously dumped onto the ground. The sight of him sitting on the ground looking rather perturbed seals the deal.
  • The Sharif or Waszn presents Raisuli with a severed tongue:
Eden Pedicaris: Why would anyone want to cut out a man's tongue?
Raisuli: Perhaps the previous owner had nothing pleasant to say.
Jennifer Pedicaris: What is it?
William Pedicaris: It's some sort of tongue.
Eden Pedicaris: Children! Get away from that tongue!
  • The Sultan firing the machine gun.
  • A conversation with Teddy Roosevelt and one of his advisors
"You're dangerous.You might even shoot somebody...accidentally I mean."
"John, I'd never shoot anyone accidentally....I need their votes"
  • Later on in the scene, Teddy's son pitches a question
"Father, is Raisuli a real pirate?"
"Yes indeed. He is the last of the Barbary pirates."
"Why do you say that?"
"Well the world is fast outgrowing pirates, of that sort anyway."
"Do you know of any others?"
"J.P.Morgan. He's the only other pirate I know."
