- Elizabeth Swann: There will come a time when you have a chance to do the right thing.
- Jack Sparrow: I love those moments. I like to wave at them as they pass by.
- Jack Sparrow: [holds up jar of dirt] Oi! Fishface! Lose something? Eh? Scungilli!
- [falls down stairs, holds up jar again]
- Jack Sparrow: Got it! Come to negotiate, eh? Have you, you slimy git? Look what I got.
- Jack Sparrow: [sing-song] I got a jar of dirt, I got a jar of dirt, and guess what's inside it!
- Jack Sparrow: [with his back to Elizabeth, thinking that she is a man] Come to join my crew, lad? Welcome aboard!
- Elizabeth Swann: I'm here to find the man I love.
- Jack Sparrow: [startled] I'm deeply flattered, son, but my first and only love is the sea.
- Elizabeth Swann: Meaning William Turner, Captain Sparrow.
- Jack Sparrow: [turning around] Elizabeth!
- [to Gibbs]
- Jack Sparrow: Hide the rum.
- Jack Sparrow: My tremendous intuitive sense of the female creature informs me that you are troubled.
- Jack Sparrow: [to cannibals] *Alas*, my children! This is the day you shall always remember as the day that you almost...
- [gets splashed by a wave]
- Jack Sparrow: ...Captain Jack Sparrow.
- Jack Sparrow: [empties bottle of rum] Why is the rum always gone?
- Jack Sparrow: [stands up and staggers drunkenly] Oh... that's why.
- Will Turner: You want me to find this?
- Jack Sparrow: 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 Turner: This is going to save Elizabeth?
- Jack Sparrow: How much do you know about Davy Jones?
- Will Turner: Not much.
- Jack Sparrow: Yeah, it's going to save Elizabeth.
- Will Turner: What about Jack? I won't leave without him!
- [Jack runs in followed by hundreds of angry cannibals]
- Will Turner: Never mind! Let's go!
- Davey Jones: Do you fear... death? Do you fear that dark abyss? All your deeds laid bare, all your sins punished?
- Jack Sparrow: How did you get here?
- Will Turner: Sea turtles, mate. A pair of them strapped to my feet.
- Jack Sparrow: Not so easy, is it?
- Elizabeth Swann: [as Will, Jack, and Norrington fight] Stop it! Will!
- Will Turner: Guard the chest!
- Elizabeth Swann: [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 Swann: Enough! This is madness!
- [faking]
- Elizabeth Swann: Oh! Oh, the heat!
- [pretends to faint, then opens one eye to see that none of them have noticed]
- Tia Dalma: Land is where you are safe, Jack Sparrow, and so you will carry land with you.
- Jack Sparrow: Dirt. This is a jar of dirt.
- Tia Dalma: Yes.
- Jack Sparrow: ...Is the jar of dirt going to help?
- Tia Dalma: If you don't want it, give it back.
- Jack Sparrow: [greedily] No!
- Tia Dalma: Then it helps.
- Lord Cutler Beckett: No doubt you've discovered that loyalty is no longer the currency of the realm, as your father believes.
- Elizabeth Swann: Then what is?
- Lord Cutler Beckett: I'm afraid currency is the currency of the realm.
- Elizabeth Swann: I expect, then, that we can come to some sort of understanding. I'm here to negotiate.
- Lord Cutler Beckett: I'm listening.
- [Elizabeth pulls out a gun]
- Lord Cutler Beckett: I'm listening intently.
- Jack Sparrow: You look bloody awful, what are you doing here?
- Norrington: You hired me. I can't help it if your standards are lax.
- Jack Sparrow: [immaturely] You smell funny.
- Davey Jones: You are neither dead nor dying. What is your purpose here?
- Will Turner: [quickly] Jack Sparrow sent me to settle his debt.
- Davey Jones: What is your purpose here?
- Will Turner: Jack Sparrow? Sent me to settle his debt?
- Davey Jones: [laughs] Did he, now? I'm sorely tempted to accept that offer.
- Jack Sparrow: Is this a dream?
- 'Bootstrap' Bill Turner: No.
- Jack Sparrow: I thought not. If it were, there'd be rum.
- 'Bootstrap' Bill Turner: [hands him a bottle of rum]
- Gibbs: So, we're setting out to find whatever this key unlocks?
- Jack Sparrow: 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 Sparrow: Now you're not making any sense at all.
- Jack Sparrow: So what's your plan, then?
- Will Turner: I row over, search the ship until I find your bloody key.
- Jack Sparrow: And if there are crewmen?
- Will Turner: I cut down anyone in my path.
- Jack Sparrow: [turns to Gibbs] I like it. Simple, easy to remember.
- Davey Jones: You have a debt to pay. You've been captain of the Black Pearl for thirteen years. That was our agreement.
- Jack Sparrow: Technically, I was only captain for two years, then I was viciously mutinied upon.
- Davey Jones: Then you were a poor captain, but a captain nonetheless! Have you not introduced yourself all these years as "Captain Jack Sparrow"?
- Gibbs: Let's put some distance between us and this island and head out to open sea!
- Jack Sparrow: Yes to the first, yes to the second, but only insofar as we keep to the shallows as much as possible.
- Gibbs: That seems a bit contradictory, Captain.
- Jack Sparrow: I have every faith in your reconciliatory navigational skills, Mr. Gibbs, now where is that monkey, I want to shoot something!
- Norrington: Do excuse me while I kill the man who ruined my life.
- Will Turner: Be my guest.
- Jack Sparrow: 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!
- Elizabeth Swann: Thank you, Jack.
- Jack Sparrow: We're not free yet, love.
- Elizabeth Swann: You came back. I always knew you were a good man.
- [kisses him to distract him, then handcuffs him to the mast]
- Elizabeth Swann: It's after you, not the ship. It's not us. This is the only way, don't you see?
- [unconvincingly]
- Elizabeth Swann: I'm not sorry.
- Jack Sparrow: [almost understandingly] Pirate.
- Elizabeth Swann: It's real!
- Norrington: You actually were telling the truth.
- Jack Sparrow: I do that quite a lot. Yet people are always surprised.
- Will Turner: With good reason.
- Davey Jones: 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 Sparrow: [thinks for a second] Yep. I'm good with it.
- Tia Dalma: 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 Swann: He was a good man.
- Will Turner: If there was anything could be done to bring him back...
- Tia Dalma: 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, Ragetti, Pintel: Aye!
- Elizabeth Swann: Yes.
- Tia Dalma: 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?
- Pintel: [watching Norrington, Will and Jack fight whilst Elizabeth is screaming and throwing rocks] How'd this go all screwy?
- 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.
- Pintel: Sad.
- 'Bootstrap' Bill Turner: Wondering how it's played?
- Will Turner: I understand. It's a game of deception. But your bet includes all the dice, not just your own. What are they wagering?
- 'Bootstrap' Bill Turner: Oh, the only thing we have. Years of service.
- Will Turner: So any crew member can be challenged?
- 'Bootstrap' Bill Turner: Aye. Anyone.
- Will Turner: I challenge Davy Jones.
- Davy Jones: [Davy Jones is stepping down the stairs and as he does, barnacles and mussels hanging on the steps retract] I accept, mate
- Tia Dalma: You know I demand payment.
- Jack Sparrow: I brought payment. Look.
- [brings out the monkey in a cage, shoots him]
- Jack Sparrow: An undead monkey! Top that!
- Tia Dalma: [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 Dalma: The payment is fair...
- Gibbs: Where's the Commodore?
- Jack Sparrow: He fell behind.
- Gibbs: [solemnly] My prayers be with him.
- [suddenly brightens]
- Gibbs: Best not wallow in our grief!
- Will Turner: [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.
- Davey Jones: 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' Bill Turner: No!
- 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 Turner: 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 Turner: Where's the rest of the crew?
- Gibbs: [ominously] These cages we're in... were not built until *after* we got here.
- Jack Sparrow: 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.
- Gibbs: [in Tortuga signing sailors up] And what makes you think you're worthy to crew the Black Pearl?
- Very Old Man: 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 Man: 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.
- Gibbs: Perfect, next!
- Elizabeth Swann: We're not getting out of this.
- Norrington: Not with the chest. Into the boat.
- [takes chest]
- Elizabeth Swann: You're mad.
- Norrington: Don't wait for me.
- [runs away from the longboat with the chest]
- Jack Sparrow: Uh, I say we respect his final wish.
- Jack Sparrow: [after being covered in mucus after the Kraken roars at him] Not so bad...
- [wipes the slime from his face]
- Jack Sparrow: [he looks down and sees his old hat] Oh!
- [reaches for his hat and puts it on]
- Jack Sparrow: 'Ello, beastie.
- [smiles and draws his 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!
- Gibbs: [Tia Dalma just uncovered Jack's Black Spot] The Black Spot!
- [he does a strange superstitous dance]
- Ragetti: The Black Spot!
- Pintel: Black Spot!
- [Pintel and Ragetti do the same dance]
- Jack Sparrow: My eyesight's as good as ever, just so you know.
- Norrington: [drunk and angry] So am I worthy to serve under Captain Jack Sparrow...
- [he draws his pistol and points it at Jack, who is hiding behind a pole]
- Norrington: ... or should I just kill you now?
- Jack Sparrow: [tries and fails to hide behind his pole] You're hired!
- Norrington: Sorry. Old habits and all that.
- [smiles and prepares to pull the trigger]
- Jack Sparrow: Mr. Gibbs.
- Gibbs: Captain.
- Jack Sparrow: We have a need to travel upriver.
- Gibbs: By "need," do you mean a trifling need? Fleeting? As in, say, a passing fancy?
- Jack Sparrow: No, a resolute and unyielding need.
- Tia Dalma: You know of Davy Jones? A man of the sea, a great sailor. Until he run afoul of that which vexes all men.
- Will Turner: What vexes all men?
- Tia Dalma: What indeed.
- Gibbs: The sea?
- Pintel: Sums?
- Ragetti: The dichotomy of good and evil?
- Jack Sparrow: A woman.
- Tia Dalma: A woman. He fell in love.
- Gibbs: No, no, I heard it was the sea he fell in love with.
- Tia Dalma: [annoyed] Same story, different versions. And all are true. See, it was a woman as changing and harsh and untamable as the sea. Him never stopped loving her. But the pain it caused was to much to live with, but not enough to cause him to die.
- Will Turner: What exactly did he put into the chest?
- Tia Dalma: Him heart.
- Ragetti: Literally or figuratively?
- Pintel: He couldn't literally put his heart in a chest. Could he?
- Tia Dalma: It was not worth feeling what small, fleeting joy life brings.
- Gibbs: [as Jack steps onto the ship] Not quite according to plan...
- Jack Sparrow: Complications arose, ensued, were overcome.
- Will Turner: [comes ashore and sees the bird] Ah. A familiar face.
- Cotton's Parrot: [squawks] Don't eat me!
- Will Turner: [confused] I'm not going to eat 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*?
