Captain Jack Sparrow

Why is the rum always gone? [Stands up and then staggers] Oh. That's why.

[Repeated line] Bugger.

[to Bootstrap Bill] And to what do I owe the pleasure of your carbuncle?

You can mistrust me less than you can mistrust him. Trust me.

I want my jar of dirt!

[Sing-song voice] I've got a jar of dirt! I've got a jar of dirt, and guess what's inside it!

[After the Kraken roars at him] Not so bad.

[last lines] Hello, beastie.

[as he escapes from a tribe of cannibals] Alas my children, today is the day you shall always remember as the day you almost... [gets splashed by a wave and loses his enthusiasim] Captain Jack Sparrow.

Davy Jones

[rhetorically] Who sent that thieving charlatan onto my ship? Who told him of the key? Jack Sparrow!
Do you fear death? Do you fear that dark abyss? All your deeds laid bare? All your sins punished?
Let no joyful voice be heard! Let no man look to the sky with hope in his eyes! And let this day be forever cursed by we who ready to wake...the Kraken!
Enough! HARD TO STARBOARD! Send his beloved "Pearl" back to the depths!
[last line] Damn you, Jack Sparrow!!

Lord Cutler Beckett

Every man has a price which he is willing to accept. Even for that which he hopes never to sell.
Jack Sparrow is a dying breed. The world is shrinking; the blank edges of the map filled in. Jack must find a place in the new world or perish. Not unlike you, Mr. Turner. You and your fiancé face the hangman's noose. Bring me that compass or there's no deal.
[After giving Elizabeth's warrant to Governor Swann] Is it? That's annoying. Arrest her too.
Loyalty is no longer the currency of the realm. I'm afraid that currency is the currency of the realm.

Dialogue

[The surviving crew, minus Jack, prepare to make their escape]

Will Turner: What about Jack? I won't leave him!

Jack Sparrow: Oi!

[Everyone turns and sees Jack at the end of the beach. Will smiles until he sees him being chased by cannibals]

Will Turner: Time to go!

Joshamee Gibbs: Captain, I think the crew, meaning me as well, were expecting something a bit more... shiny, what with the Isla de Muerta going all pear-shaped, reclaimed by the sea and the treasure with it.

Leech: And the Royal Navy chasing us all around the Atlantic.

Marty: And the hurricane!

Joshamee Gibbs: All in all, it's been some time since we did a speck of honest piratin'.

Jack Sparrow: Shiny?

Joshamee Gibbs: Aye, shiny.

Jack Sparrow: Is that how you're all feeling, then? That perhaps dear old Jack is not serving your best interests as captain?

Cotton's Parrot: Rawk! Walk the plank!

Jack Sparrow: [draws a pistol and points it at the parrot] What did the bird say?!

Marty: (Grabs a cloth) It's a key.

Jack Sparrow: No! (Runs up and takes it) Much more better! It is a drawing of a key. [the crew is confused] Gentlemen, what do keys do?

Leech: Keys... unlock... things?

Joshamee Gibbs: [catching on] And whatever this key unlocks, inside there's something valuable... So, we're setting out to find whatever this key unlocks?

Jack Sparrow: (Gasps as if Gibbs correctly guessed the mission)... No. (Gibbs is confused) If we don't have the key, we can't open whatever it is 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?

Joshamee Gibbs: (Understandingly) So, we're going after this key!

Jack Sparrow: You're not making any sense at all, mate. (Gibbs is more confused)

Jack Sparrow: Bootstrap? Bill Turner?

Bootstrap Bill: You look good, Jack.

Jack Sparrow: Is this a dream?

Bootstrap Bill: [confused] No.

Jack Sparrow: I thought not. If it was, there'd be rum (Bootstrap gives him a bottle of rum)

Joshamee 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

William Turner: So, Jack had no choice. He's as captive as much as the rest of us.

Joshamee 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]

Joshamee Gibbs: Aaah! They will roast him and eat him.

William Turner: Where's the rest of the crew?

Joshamee Gibbs: [ominously] These cages we're in... weren't built until after we got here.

William Turner: Jack.

Jack Sparrow: Aye?

William Turner: Elizabeth is in danger.

Jack Sparrow: Have you considered keeping a more watchful eye on her? Maybe just lock her up somewhere.

William Turner: She is locked up, in a prison, bound to hang for helping you!

Jack Sparrow: There comes a time when one must take responsibility for one's mistakes.

Jack Sparrow: William. I shall trade you the compass, if you will help me... to find this. [shows Will the drawing of the key to the Dead Man's Chest]

William 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?

William Turner: This is going to save Elizabeth?

Jack Sparrow: How much do you know about Davy Jones?

William Turner: Not much.

Jack Sparrow: Yeah, it's going to save Elizabeth.

Jack Sparrow: No worries, mates. Tia Dalma and I go way back; thick as thieves. Nigh inseparable we are... were... have been... before...

Joshamee Gibbs: I'll watch yer back.

Jack Sparrow: It's me front I'm worried about.

Tia Dalma: You know I demand payment.

Jack Sparrow: I brought payment. Look. [brings out the monkey in a cage, shoots him] An undead monkey! Top that!

[Tia Dalma releases the monkey from the cage]

Gibbs: [muttered] No! You've no idea how long it took us to catch that.

Tia Dalma: The payment is fair.

[Tia Dalma gives Jack a jar of dirt]

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: [Clutches the jar close to him] No!

Tia Dalma: Then it helps.

Tia Dalma: You know of Davy Jones, yes? A man of the sea. A great sailor. Until he ran afoul of that which vexes all men.

William Turner: What vexes all men?

Tia Dalma: [Seductive] What, indeed?

Joshamee Gibbs:The sea?

Pintel: Sums?

Ragetti: The dichotomy of good and evil?

Jack Sparrow: A woman.

Tia Dalma: See, it was a woman. He fell in love...

Joshamee Gibbs: No, no, no. I heard it was the sea he fell in love with.

Tia Dalma: Same story, different versions. And all are true. You see, it was a woman. As harsh, changing and untamable like the sea. Him never stopped loving her.

Jack Sparrow: So what's your plan, then?

William Turner: I row over, search the ship until I find your bloody key.

Jack Sparrow: And if there are crewmen?

William Turner: I cut down anyone in my path.

Jack Sparrow: I like it. Simple, easy to remember.

Davy 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.

Davy Jones: Then you were a poor captain, but a captain nonetheless! Have you not introduced yourself all these years as Captain Jack Sparrow?

Jack Sparrow: [referring to Will] You have my payment. One soul to serve on your ship is already over there.

Davy Jones: One soul is not equal to another.

Jack Sparrow: Aha! So we've established my proposal is sound in principle, now we're just haggling over price.

Davy Jones: Price?

Jack Sparrow: Just how many souls do you think my soul is worth?

Davy Jones: One hundred souls, three days.

Jack Sparrow: You're a diamond, mate. Send me back the boy, I'll get started right off.

Davy Jones: I keep the boy. A good-faith payment. That leaves you only ninety-nine more to go [laughs]

Jack Sparrow: Have you not met Will Turner? He's noble, heroic, terrific soprano. Worth at least four... maybe three and a half. And did I happen to mention... he's in love? With a girl. Due to be married. Betrothed. Dividing him from her and her from him would only be half as cruel as actually allowing them to be joined in holy matrimony, eh?

Davey Jones: I keep the boy, ninety-nine souls! But 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! Can we sign it in blood... or, uh, ink?

Davy Jones: [removes Jack's block spot] Three days.

[Davy Jones and his crew disappear]

Jack Sparrow: Oh, Mr. Gibbs.

Joshamee Gibbs: Aye.

Jack Sparrow: Uh, I feel sullied and unusual.

Joshamee Gibbs: And how do you intend to harvest these ninety-nine souls in three days?

Jack Sparrow: Fortunately, he was mum as the condition in which these souls need be.

Joshamee Gibbs: Ah, Tortuga!

Jack Sparrow: [wipes Jones' slime on Gibbs] Tortuga.

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] Hide the rum. You know, these clothes do not flatter you at all, it should be a dress or nothing. I happen to have no dress in my cabin.

Elizabeth Swann: Jack. I know Will came to find you. Where is he?

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

Elizabeth Swann: Davy Jones?

James Norrington: Oh, please. The Captain of the Flying Dutchman?

Jack Sparrow: You look bloody awful. What are you doing here?

James Norrington: You hired me, remember? I can't help it if your standards are lax.

Jack Sparrow: [childishly] You smell funny.

Jack Sparrow: My tremendous intuitive sense of the female creature informs me that you are troubled.

Elizabeth Swann: I just thought I'd be married by now. I'm so ready to be married.

Jack Sparrow: You know, um... Lizzy... I am captain of a ship. And being captain of a ship, I can conduct a marr-i-age, right here. Right on this deck. Right... now.

Elizabeth Swann: [gets the hint and gives a look of disgust] No, thank you.

Jack Sparrow: Why not? We are very much alike, you and I. I and you. Us.

Elizabeth Swann: Ah! Except for our sense of honor, and decency, and a moral center. And personal hygiene.

Jack Sparrow: [sniffs his armpit] Trifles. You will come over to my side, I know it.

Elizabeth Swann: You seem very certain.

Jack Sparrow: One word love: curiosity. You long for freedom. You long to do what you want to do because you want it. To act on selfish impulse. You want to see what it's like. One day, you won't be able to resist.

Elizabeth Swann: Why doesn't your Compass work?

Jack Sparrow: Uh, my Compass works fine.

Elizabeth Swann: Because you and I are alike, and there will come a moment when you have a chance to show it. To do the right thing.

Jack Sparrow: I love those moments. I like to wave at them as they pass by.

Elizabeth Swann: You'll have the chance to do something... something courageous. And when you do, you'll discover something: that you're a good man.

Jack Sparrow: All evidence to the contrary.

Elizabeth Swann: No, I have faith in you. Want to know why?

Jack Sparrow: Do tell, dearie.

Elizabeth Swann: [persuasive] Curiosity. You're going to want it. A chance to be admired. And gain the rewards that follow. You won't be able to resist. You're going to want to know... what it tastes like.

Jack Sparrow: I do want to know what it tastes like.

Elizabeth Swann: But seeing as you're a good man I know that you'll never put me in a position that would compromise my honor. [Jack holds himself from kissing Elizabeth staring at his hand in horror as the black spot returns] I'm proud of you, Jack.

Pintel: I don't think it's "Kraken" [pronounced "crack-en"], anyways. Always heard it said "kray-kin".

Ragetti: What? With a long A? Na-na-na-na-no-no no, "krah-ken"'s how it's pronounced in the original Scandinavian, and "Kraken"'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!

[upon finding the Dead Man's Chest]

James Norrington: You actually were telling the truth.

Jack Sparrow: I do that quite a lot. Yet people are always surprised.

William Turner: [suddenly appearing] With good reason!

Elizabeth: [runs to hug Will] Will! You're all right, thank God! I came to find you. [Kiss]

Jack Sparrow: How did you get here?

William Turner: Sea turtles, mate. A pair of them strapped to my feet.

Jack Sparrow: Not so easy, is it?

William Turner: But I do owe you thanks, Jack.

Jack Sparrow: You do?

William Turner: After you tricked me on that ship to square your debt with Jones...

Elizabeth Swan: [to Jack] What?

Jack Sparrow: [pretends to be confused] What?

William Tuner: I was reunited with my father.

Jack Sparrow: Oh... well, you're welcome then.

Elizabeth Swan: Everything you said to me; every word was a lie.

Jack Sparrow: Pretty much. [sees Will attempt to unlock the chest] Oy! What're you doing?

William Turner: I'm gonna kill Jones.

Jack Sparrow: [draws his sword and points it at Will] Can't let you do that, William. 'Cause if Jones is dead, who's to call his terrible beastie off the hunt, eh? Now, if you please. The key.

William Turner [draws Elizabeth's sword and points it at Jack] I keep the promises I make, Jack. I intend to free my father. I hope you're here to see it.

James Norrington: [draws his sword and points it at Will] I can't let you do that, either. So sorry.

Jack Sparrow: I knew you'd warm up to me eventually.

James Norrington: [points his sword at Jack] Lord Beckett desires the contents of that chest. I deliver it, and get my life back.

Jack Sparrow: Ah. The dark side of ambition.

James Norrington: Oh, I prefer to see it as the promise of redemption.

[watching Jack, Will, and Norrington duel]

Pintel How'd this go all screwy?

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

Pintel: Sad. That chest must be worth more'n a shiny penny.

Ragetti: Oh! Tsk-tsk-tsk. Terrible temptation.

Pintel: If we was any kinda decent, we'd remove temptation from their path.

[together, they take the Dead Man's Chest]

[Jack regains the key during the duel]

James Norrington: [to Will] Do excuse me while I kill the man who ruined my life.

William Turner: Be my guest.

Jack Sparrow: Let us examine that claim for a moment, former Commodore, shall we? Who was it, who 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, hey? So who's fault is it really, that you've ended up a rum-pot deckhand what takes orders from pirates?

James Norrinton: Enough! [swings sword at Jack, but Jack escapes] Unfortunately, Mister Turner... he's right! [continues his duel with Will]

Jack Sparrow: [to Norrington] Still rooting for you, mate!

[after injuring the Kraken]

Marty: Did we kill it?

Joshamee Gibbs: No. We just made it angry. We're not out of this yet. [to Jack] Captain! Orders!

Jack Sparrow: Abandon ship. Into the longboat.

Joshamee Gibbs: Jack! The Pearl!

Jack Sparrow: [sadly] She's only a ship, mate.

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.

[Elizabeth passionately kisses Jack, however Will sees the kiss from the longboat]

Joshamee Gibbs: [to Will] Prepare to cast off! There's no time to lose! Come on, Will, step to!

[Elizabeth chains Jack to the main mast]

Elizabeth Swann: It's after you, not the ship. It's not us. This is the only way, don't you see? I'm not sorry.

Jack Sparrow: Pirate.

[last lines]

Tia Dalma: [offers Elizabeth a drink] Against de cold... and de sorrow. [to Will] It's a shame. I know you're t'inking that wid the Pearl, you coulda captured the devil and set free your fadder's soul.

William Turner: Doesn't matter now. The Pearl's gone, along with its captain.

Joshamee 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.

[They all make a toast to Jack and drink, but Elizabeth can't get herself to drink from guilt.]

William Turner: [to Elizabeth] If there was anything we could do to bring him back... Elizabeth-

Tia Dalma: Would you do it? Hm? Hm? [turns to Elizabeth] What... would you? Hm? [looks around room at others] What would any of you be willing to do? Hm? Would ya sail to da ends of the eart' and beyond... to fetch back Witty Jack and 'im precious Pearl?

Joshamee Gibbs: [steps forward] Aye.

Pintel: Aye.

Ragetti: Aye.

Cotton's Parrot: Rawk! Aye.

Elizabeth Swann: [nods slightly, quietly] Yes.

William Turner: [whispers, having waited with his own answer untill after Elizabeths] Aye.

Tia Dalma: [smiles] All right. But if you go and brave the weird and haunted shores at World's End, then you will need a captain who knows those waters.

Hector Barbossa: [walks down a staircase] So tell me... what's become of my ship?
