The Best Will Turner Quotes

Will: I'm losing her, Jack. Every step I make for my father is a step away from Elizabeth.
Jack: Mate, if you choose to lock your heart away you'll lose it for certain.

Will: We're going to steal a ship? That ship?
Jack: Commandeer. We're going to commandeer that ship. Nautical term.

Will: [to Elizabeth, holding his heart in the Dead Man's Chest] It's always belonged to you. Will you keep it safe?

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

[shouting during severe storm]
Will: How can we sail to an island that nobody can find with a compass that doesn't work?
Mr. Gibbs: Aye, the compass doesn't point North. But we're not trying to find North, are we?

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.

Jack: One question about your business, boy, or there's no use going: This girl... how far are you willing to go to save her?
Will: I'd die for her.
Jack: Oh good. No worries then.

Will: This is either madness... or brilliance.
Jack: It's remarkable how often those two traits coincide.

Barbossa: Ten years you carry that pistol and now you waste your shot.
Will: He didn't waste it.

Jack: [after Will draws his sword] Put it away, son. It's not worth you getting beat again.
Will: You didn't beat me. You ignored the rules of engagement. In a fair fight, I'd kill you.
Jack: That's not much incentive for me to fight fair, then, is it?

Will: Henry...
- I'm sorry.
- But my curse will never be broken.
- This is my fate.
- You must let me go.
- I love you, son.

Will: [during the final battle] Will you marry me?
Elizabeth: I don't think now's the best time!
Will: Now may be the only time! I love you. I've made my choice. What's yours?
Elizabeth: Barbossa! Marry us!
Barbossa: [swordfighting] I'm a little busy at the moment!

Gibbs: Jack! The world needs you back something fierce!
Will: Cutler Beckett has the heart of Davy Jones, he controls the Flying Dutchman.
Elizabeth: He's taking over the sea!
Tia: The song has already been sung! The brethren court is called!
Jack: I leave you people alone for just a minute and look what happens, everything's gone to pot!

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.

Will: [his last lines] Keep a weather eye on the horizon.

Will: I need the Pearl to free my father. That's the only reason I came on this voyage.
Elizabeth: You never told me any of this!
Will: [pointedly] It was my burden to bear...

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: Anamaria.
[Anamaria slaps Jack]
Will: I suppose, you didn't deserve that one either?
Jack: No, that one I deserved.
Anamaria: You stole my boat!
Jack: Actually...
Anamaria: [Anamaria slaps Jack again]
Jack: Borrowed... borrowed without permission, but with every intention of bringing it back.
Anamaria: But you didn't!
Jack: You'll get another one.
Anamaria: I will.
Will: A better one.
Jack: A better one.
Will: That one.
Jack: What one?
Will: [Will looks at the Interceptor]
Jack: That one? Aye, that one. What say you to that?
The: Aye!
Mr. Gibbs: No, it's frightful bad luck to have a woman aboard.
Jack: It would be far worse not to have her.

Norrington: Do excuse me while I kill the man who ruined my life.
Will: Be my guest.
Jack: Let us examine that claim for a moment, former Commodore, shall we? 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?
Norrington: ENOUGH!
[Jack somersaults off roof, Norrington turns to Will]
Norrington: Unfortunately Mr. Turner, he's right!

Jack: Move away.
Will: No.
Jack: Please move?
Will: No. I cannot just step aside and let you escape.
Jack: This shot was not meant for you.

Jack: [looking at all the swords] Who makes all these?
Will: I do. And I practice with them three hours a day.
Jack: You need to find yourself a girl, mate. Or perhaps the reason you practice three hours a day is that you already found one, and are otherwise incapable of wooing said strumpet. You're not a eunuch are you?
Will: I practice three hours a day, so when I meet a pirate, I can kill it.

Will: What about Jack? I won't leave without him!
[Jack runs in followed by hundreds of angry cannibals]
Will: Never mind! Let's go!

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.

Henry: [Henry has just been rescued by the Flying Dutchman after attempting to drown himself to gain his father's attention]
[sees a shadowy figure approach]
Henry: Father?
Will: Henry. What have you done?
Henry: I said I'd find you.
Will: Look at me, son.
[half of Will's face and body are covered in barnacles]
Henry: I don't care.
Will: There's no place for you on the Dutchman.
[the Dutchman's crew can be heard in the background]
Will: They know you're here. Get home to your mother.
Henry: No!
Will: Leave now. Before it's too late.
Henry: I won't. I'll never stop. And if you throw me over, I'll come straight back.
Will: Don't you see I'm cursed to this ship?
Henry: That's why I'm here. I think I know a way to break your curse. To free you from the Dutchman.
Will: Henry, no.
Henry: I've read about a treasure. A treasure that holds all the power of the sea. The Trident of Poseidon can break your curse.
Will: [kneels down to hug Henry] Henry, the trident can never be found.
Henry: I found you.
Will: It's just a tale.
Henry: Like the tales of you and Captain Jack Sparrow? He will help me find the trident.
Will: You stay away from Jack! Leave the sea forever. You have to stop acting like a...
Henry: A pirate? I won't stop. I want you to come home.
Will: [the Dutchman starts sinking back into the sea] Henry. I'm sorry. My curse will never be broken.
[takes off his necklace]
Will: This is my fate.
[places the necklace in Henry's hands]
Will: You must let me go.
[reaches out to gently touch Henry's face]
Will: I love you, son.
Henry: [the Dutchman sinks fully into the sea, forcing Henry to swim to the surface and reboard his rowboat]
[while lying inside his rowboat]
Henry: Captain Jack Sparrow.

'Bootstrap': Wondering how it's played?
Will: I understand. It's a game of deception. But your bet includes all the dice, not just your own. What are they wagering?
'Bootstrap': Oh, the only thing we have. Years of service.
Will: So any crew member can be challenged?
'Bootstrap': Aye. Anyone.
Will: I challenge Davy Jones.
Davy: [Davy Jones is stepping down the stairs and as he does, barnacles and mussels hanging on the steps retract] I accept, mate

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.

Elizabeth: Whose side is Jack on?
Will: At the moment?

Will: You cheated.
Jack: Pirate.

[Jack throws a bucket of water on sleeping Gibbs]
Mr. Gibbs: Curse you for breathin' ya slack-jawed idiot. Mother's love. Jack. You should know better than to wake a man when he's sleepin'. Its bad luck.
Jack: Fortunately, I know how to counter it; the man who did the waking buys the man who was sleeping a drink; the man who was sleeping drinks it while listening to a proposition from the man who did the waking.
Mr. Gibbs: Aye, that'll about do it.
[Will throws more water on Mr. Gibbs]
Mr. Gibbs: Blast! I'm already awake!
Will: That was for the smell.

Davey: You are neither dead nor dying. What is your purpose here?
Will: [quickly] Jack Sparrow sent me to settle his debt.
Davey: What is your purpose here?
Will: Jack Sparrow? Sent me to settle his debt?
Davey: [laughs] Did he, now? I'm sorely tempted to accept that offer.

Jack: FIRE!

Elizabeth: Will, how many times must I ask you to call me Elizabeth?
Will: At least once more, Miss Swann, as always.

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]

Will: That's not true. I am not obsessed with treasure.
Jack: Not all treasure is silver and gold, mate.

Will: She goes free.
[points pistol at Barbossa]
Barbossa: What's in your head, boy?
Will: She goes free!
Barbossa: You've only got one shot, and we can't die.
Jack: [whispered to Will] Don't do anything stupid.
Will: You can't. I can.
[points gun at himself]
Jack: Like that.
Barbossa: Who are you?
Jack: [to Barbossa] No one. He's no one. A distant cousin of my aunt's nephew twice removed. Lovely singing voice, though - eunuch.
Will: My name is Will Turner. My father was Bootstrap Bill Turner. His blood runs in my veins.
Ragetti: He's the spitting image of ol' Bootstrap Bill come back to haunt us.
Will: On my word do as I say, or I'll pull this trigger and be lost to Davy Jones' Locker.
Barbossa: Name your terms, Mr. Turner.
Will: Elizabeth goes free.
Barbossa: Yes, we know that one. Anything else?
Jack: [points at himself] Me!
Will: And the crew - the crew are not to be harmed.

'Bootstrap': [to Will] Orders, Captain?
Will: You're no longer bound to the Dutchman. You're free.
'Bootstrap': Aye. And 'tis a fine thing. But by my reckoning, I've still a debt to pay... if you'll have me.
Will: [smile] To the wheel, then, Mr. Turner.
'Bootstrap': Aye, Captain Turner.
[takes the wheel, then notices Will and Elizabeth exchanging sad glances]
'Bootstrap': This ship, it has a duty. And where we are bound, she cannot come. One day at shore... ten years at sea. It's a heavy price for what's been done.
Will: Depends on the one day.

Will: [the crew members are hanging off in two cages near the cliffs and are climbing back up] Come on men! It'll take all of us to crew the Black Pearl!
Leech: [Leech shouts across at him] Actually, you wouldn't need everyone! About six would do!
[pause]
Leech: Oh, dear.

Will: [during the final battle] Elizabeth Swann, do you take me to be your husband?
Elizabeth: I do.
Will: Great!
[more fighting]
Elizabeth: Will Turner, do you take me to be your wife, in sickness and in health, with health being less likely?
Will: I do.
[more fighting]
Barbossa: As Captain, I now pronounce you...
[interrupted by fighting]
Barbossa: You may kiss...
[more fighting]
Barbossa: ...You may kiss...
[more fighting]
Barbossa: ...JUST KISS!

Will: Where's Elizabeth?
Jack: She's safe, just like I promised. She's all set to marry Norrington, just like she promised. And you get to die for her, just like you promised. So we're all men of our word really... except for, of course, Elizabeth, who is in fact, a woman.
