From Vincent Price's radio show, "The Saint" circa 1950. This man is a true legend. I adore him.

Ladies and gentlemen, poison doesn’t always come in bottles. And it isn’t always marked with the skull and crossbones of danger. Poison can take the form of words and phrases and acts: the venom of racial and religious hatred. Here in the United States, perhaps more than ever before, we must learn to recognize the poison of prejudice and to discover the antidote to its dangerous effects. Evidences of racial and religious hatred in our country place a potent weapon in the hands of our enemies, providing them with the ammunition of criticism. Moreover, group hatred menaces the entire fabric of democratic life. As for the antidote: you can fight prejudice, first by recognizing it for what it is, and second by actively accepting or rejecting people on their individual worth, and by speaking up against prejudice and for understanding. Remember, freedom and prejudice can’t exist side by side. If you choose freedom, fight prejudice.

Hear me out, Viago and Anton have a one-night stand years before the documentary and they don't encounter each other again until that first confrontation. They immediately know but they can't acknowledge it in front of their respective groups but the memory of that night assaults them.

Edward, we really need a plan. Come on, a plan. Yes! We always need a f*ckin’ plan, all right?! And then what? Then we f*ckin’ execute the plan, then we get another plan, then what do we do? We execute that, and so on, and so on, and again, and again, and again, and again. It’s all so f*cking boring!
Our life feels monotonous to you? No! No, it doesn’t, does it? Um, I just think that…why waste our time here, day after day, doing the same old thing, when we could be doing this?

The detail of Ed and Stede walking out after having a very personal moment that the rest of the crew has no idea about. Ed had just been in a tub wrapped in Stede’s clothes crying after having a ptsd flashback. Stede just learned some very personal information, trauma, from Ed’s past that very much still affects him and how he sees himself. He’s learned Ed was supposed to kill him. 

And then they walk out at the same time, step for step. The only clue that something might be off is so subtle the crew would likely miss it, but it’s there.

Ed hesitates when he first goes to clap. He’s still recovering from what happened. He’s not quite fully slipped back into the persona of Blackbeard. And it feels so relatable. Like when you find yourself among a group after you’ve just been crying and your voice and breath still catches in your throat a little. It’s such a perfect detail.
