Who was it that, at the very moment you had a notorious pirate safely behind bars, saw fit to free said pirate and take your dearly beloved all to hisself, eh? So whose fault is it *really* that you've ended up a rum-pot deckhand what takes orders from pirates?

Ragetti: Well, each wants the chest for hisself, don't 'e? Mr. Norrington, I think, is trying to regain a bit of honor. Old Jack's looking to trade it, save his own skin. And Turner there, I think 'e's trying to settle some unresolved business twixt him and his twice-cursed pirate father.

Elizabeth: Thank you, Jack.
Jack: We're not free yet, love.
Elizabeth: You came back. I always knew you were a good man.

Gibbs: So, we're setting out to find whatever this key unlocks?
Jack: No. If we don't have the key, we can't open whatever we don't have that it unlocks. So what purpose would be served in finding whatever need be unlocked, which we don't have, without first having found the key what unlocks it?
Gibbs: So, we're setting out to find this key?
Jack: Now you're not making any sense at all.

- Jack wants answered.
- Bad enough even to go visit... her.
- Her?
- Aye.

Tia: The Pearl's gone, along with its captain.
Gibbs: And already the world seems a little less bright. He fooled us all, right to the end. But I guess that honest streak finally won out. To Jack Sparrow.
Ragetti: Never another like Captain Jack.
Pintel: He was a gentleman of fortune, he was.
Elizabeth: He was a good man.
Will: If there was anything could be done to bring him back...
Tia: Would you do it? What would any of you do? Would you sail to the ends of the earth and back to fetch back witty Jack, and him precious Pearl?
Gibbs,10078: Aye!
Elizabeth: Yes.
Tia: All right. But if you will brave the weird and haunted shores at world's end, then you will need a captain who knows those waters.
Barbossa: [enters] So tell me, what's become of my ship?

Jack: My eyesight's as good as ever, just so you know.

- Bugger!
- By your leave, Mr. Turner.

- James Norrington.
- What has the world done to you?

Gibbs: [while recruiting in Tortuga] And what's *your* story?
Norrington: My story? It's exactly the same as your story, just one chapter behind. I chased a man across the seven seas. The pursuit cost me my crew... my commission... and my life.
[he swigs some rum]
Gibbs: [a pause, as it dawns on him] ... Commodore?
Norrington: [suddenly angry] No, not anymore, weren't you *listening*?

- Where will you find him?
- Tortuga. I'll start there and I won't stop searching till I find him.
- And then I intend to return here to marry you.
- -Properly?
- -Eagerly, if you'll still have me.
- If it weren't for these bars,
- I'd have you already.
- -I'll wait for you.
- -Keep a weather eye on the horizon.

- So, am I worthy to serve under Captain Jack Sparrow?
- Or should I just kill you now?
- You're hired.

- -Sword! Sword!
- Sword!

Pintel: ...I always heard it said "kray-kin"
Ragetti: What? With a long A?
Pintel: Uh-huh.
Ragetti: Na-na-na-na-no-no no "Krah-ken"'s how it's pronounced in the original Scandinavian, and "Krakken"'s closer to that.
Pintel: Well we ain't original Scandinavians, are we? Kray-kin.
Ragetti: It's a mythological creature, I can calls it what I wants!

- What more can they do to me?
- I take this with a promise.
- I'll find a way to sever
- Jones's hold on you, and not rest until this blade pierces his heart.
- I will not abandon you.
- I promise.

- Easy, boys!
- Will?
- Steady! Steady.
- -Will!
- -Hold. Hold.
- I think we've held fire long enough.
- -Will!
- -Fire!

Gibbs: [in Tortuga signing sailors up] And what makes you think you're worthy to crew the Black Pearl?
Very: Truth be told, I've never sailed a day in me life. I think I should get out and see the world while I'm still young.
Gibbs: You'll do, make your mark. Next!
Skinny: My wife ran off with my dog and I'm drunk for a month and I don't give a ass rat's if I live or die.

- Not good.
- Cut it loose! Find a rock!

- Come on!

Scarlett: Jack Sparrow?
Giselle: Haven't seen him in a month.
Scarlett: When you find him, will you give him a message?
[Slaps Will in the face]

- Jack Sparrow, our debt is settled.
- The captain goes down with his ship.
- Turns out not even Jack Sparrow can best the devil.
- Open the chest.
- Open the chest. I need to see it!

Jack: Darling, I am truly unhappy to have to tell you this, but through an unfortunate and entirely unforeseeable series of circumstances that had nothing whatsoever to do with me, poor Will has been press-ganged into Davy Jones's crew.

Jack: Is this a dream?
'Bootstrap': No.
Jack: I thought not. If it were, there'd be rum.
'Bootstrap': [hands him a bottle of rum]

Gibbs: [as Jack steps onto the ship] Not quite according to plan...
Jack: Complications arose, ensued, were overcome.

- Cotton!
- Anybody?
- -Ah. A familiar face.
- Don't eat me.
- -I'm not going to eat you.
- -Don't eat me.
- No. Don't eat me.

- -Sad.

- Terrible temptation.
- If we was any kind of decent, we'd remove temptation from their path.
- Enough!
- The heat!

- She wants you to do something.
- She's trying to give a sign.

- It points to the thing you want most in this world.
- Oh, Jack.
- -Are you telling the truth?
- -Every word, love.
- And what you want most in this world is to find the chest of Davy Jones, is it not?
- -To save Will.
- -By finding the chest of Davy Jones.

- -We're the faster?
- -Against the wind, the Dutchman beats us.
- -But with the wind...
- -We rob her advantage.
- Aye.
- We're out of range!
- Break off pursuit, run her light and douse canvas!
- We're giving up, sir?

- Come on!
- Just got it. Come on.
- Not so bad.
- Oh.
- Hello, beastie.

Davey: I wonder, Sparrow, can you live with this? Can you condemn an innocent man, a friend, to a lifetime of servitude in your name while you roam free?
Jack: [thinks for a second] Yep. I'm good with it.

- The chest is no longer safe.
- Chart a course to Isla Cruces.
- Get me there first, or there'll be the devil to pay.
- "First"?
- Who sent that thieving charlatan onto my ship?
- Who told him of the key?
- Jack Sparrow.

Will: You want me to find this?
Jack: No. You want you to find this, because the finding of this finds you incapacitorially finding and or locating in your discovering the detecting of a way to save your dolly belle, ol' what's-her-face. Savvy?
Will: This is going to save Elizabeth?
Jack: How much do you know about Davy Jones?
Will: Not much.
Jack: Yeah, it's going to save Elizabeth.

- Thank you, Jack.
- We're not free yet, love.
- You came back.
- I always knew you were a good man.
- Prepare to cast off.
- There's no time to lose.
- Come on, Will. Step to!

- Oh, bugger.
- A little seasoning, eh?
- Well done.

- Why is the rum always gone?
- Oh.
- That's why.
- As you were, gents.

- Over there! Look for a sign!
- Look, there! There it is!
- -There's the sign!
- -That's seaweed.
- -Seaweed can be a sign.
- -Looks like entrails.
- -That would be a bad sign.
- What's that over there?

Tia: You know I demand payment.
Jack: I brought payment. Look.
[brings out the monkey in a cage, shoots him]
Jack: An undead monkey! Top that!
Tia: [releases the monkey from the cage]
Gibbs: [muttered] No...
[Speaking clearly]
Gibbs: You've no idea how long it took us to catch that.
Tia: The payment is fair...

- -The property you want that he possesses.
- -A ship? Hardly.
- The item in question is considerably smaller and far more valuable, something Sparrow keeps on his person at all times.
- A compass?
- Ah, you know it.
- Bring back that compass or there's no deal.

Pintel: You know you can't read.
Ragetti: It's the bible, you get credit for tryin'.

- or fate intervenes?
- You're making great efforts to ensure Jack Sparrow's freedom.
- -These aren't going to Jack.
- -Oh, really?
- To ensure Mr. Turner's freedom, then,
- I'll still want that compass.
- Consider that in your calculations.

Jack: [to Pintel and Ragetti] Guard the boat, mind the tide... don't touch my dirt.

- -What's this?
- -I'm in. Matching his wager.
- No! Don't do this.
- The die is cast.
- I bid three twos.
- It's your bid, Captain.
- Four fours.

Gibbs: [while the Pearl's crew and Will are in the bone cages on the cannibal's island] The Pelagostos made Jack their chief. But he only stays chief so long as he *acts* like a chief
Will: So, Jack had no choice. He's as captive as the rest of us.
Gibbs: Worse, it turns out. See, the Pelagostos believe Jack is a god in human form, and they intend of doing him the honor of releasing him from his fleshy prison.
[Cotton takes Gibbs fingers and bites them to show a point]
Gibbs: Aaah! They will roast him and eat him.
Will: Where's the rest of the crew?
Gibbs: [ominously] These cages we're in... were not built until *after* we got here.

- -Make ready to cast off!
- -Oi!
- Good doggy.
- Alas, my children, this is the day you shall always remember as the day you almost...
- Captain Jack Sparrow.

Jack: You look bloody awful, what are you doing here?
Norrington: You hired me. I can't help it if your standards are lax.
Jack: [immaturely] You smell funny.

Jack: How did you get here?
Will: Sea turtles, mate. A pair of them strapped to my feet.
Jack: Not so easy, is it?

Davey: You have a debt to pay. You've been captain of the Black Pearl for thirteen years. That was our agreement.
Jack: Technically, I was only captain for two years, then I was viciously mutinied upon.
Davey: Then you were a poor captain, but a captain nonetheless! Have you not introduced yourself all these years as "Captain Jack Sparrow"?

- Where's Jack?
- He elected to stay behind to give us a chance.
- Go!
- Bugger. Bugger, bugger, bugger, bugger, bugger!

Elizabeth: [as Will, Jack, and Norrington fight] Stop it! Will!
Will: Guard the chest!
Elizabeth: [indignantly] No! This is barbaric! This is no way for grown men to settle... oh, fine! Let's just haul out our swords and start banging away at each other! That will solve everything! I've had it! I've had it with wobbly-legged, rum-soaked pirates!
[starts throwing rocks at them]
Elizabeth: Enough! This is madness!
[faking]
Elizabeth: Oh! Oh, the heat!
[pretends to faint, then opens one eye to see that none of them have noticed]

- He had these.
- I took the liberty of filling in my name.
- If you intend to claim these, then you must have something to trade.
- Do you have the compass?
- Better.
- The heart of Davy Jones.

- -This is a jar of dirt.
- -Yes.
- Is the jar of dirt going to help?
- If you don't want it, give it back.
- -No.
- -Then it helps.
- It seems we have a need to find the Flying Dutchman.
- A touch of destiny.

- Jack?
- Jack Sparrow!
- I can honestly say
- I'm glad to see you.

Jack: So what's your plan, then?
Will: I row over, search the ship until I find your bloody key.
Jack: And if there are crewmen?
Will: I cut down anyone in my path.
Jack: [turns to Gibbs] I like it. Simple, easy to remember.

- -What's wrong? The beach is there.
- -C'est trop dangereux.
- -What?
- -C'est trop dangereux, je vous l'avais dit.
- Bon voyage, monsieur.

Elizabeth: It's real!
Norrington: You actually were telling the truth.
Jack: I do that quite a lot. Yet people are always surprised.
Will: With good reason.

- Where is it?
- Where is the thump-thump?
- We must have hit a reef!
- No. It's not a reef!
- Get away from the rail!
- -What is it?
- -The kraken.
- -To arms!
- -Load guns! Defend the mast!
- It'll attack the starboard. Run out the cannons and hold for my signal!

Davey: Let no joyful voice be heard! Let no man look up at the sky with hope! And let this day be cursed by we who ready to wake... the Kraken!
'Bootstrap': No!

- What are they doing?
- -Stop.
- -Snake!
- Move!

Davey: Damn you, Jack Sparrow...

- He was carrying this.
- It's a letter to the king.
- -It's from you.
- -No...
- Elizabeth.
- What are you doing?
- -Where is she?
- -Who?
