Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest quotes

View Quote Jack: My tremendous intuitive sense of the female creatures informs me that you are troubled.
Elizabeth: I just thought 'd be married by now. 'm so ready to be married.
[Jack looks at her chest then hands her a bottle of rum]
Jack: You know, [clears throat] Lizzie, I am captain of a ship, and being captain of a ship I could in fact perform a marry-agh. Right here. Right on this deck. Right now.
Elizabeth: [Looks disgusted] No thank you.
Jack: Why not? We are very much alike, you and I, I and you, us.
Elizabeth: Except for a sense of honor, and decency, and a moral center. And personal hygiene.
Jack: [Smells under arm] Trifles. You will come over to my side, I know it.
Elizabeth: You seem very certain.
Jack: 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: Why doesn't your compass work?
Jack:...My compass works fine.
Elizabeth: Because you and I are alike. And there will come a moment when you will show it. To do the right thing.
Jack: I love those moments. I like to wave at them as they pass by.
Elizabeth: 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: All evidence to the contrary.
Elizabeth: Oh, I have faith in you. You want to know why?
Jack: Do tell, dearie.
Elizabeth: 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. [Leans in close to him]
Jack: [Eyes widen] I do want to know what it tastes like.
Elizabeth: But, seeing as you're a good man I know that you'd never put me in a position that would compromise my honor.
Jack: [Leans in to kiss her; sees black spot reappear on his hand and pulls away]
Elizabeth: 'm proud of you, Jack.

View Quote Davy Jones: [To shivering sailor while lighting pipe] Do you fear death? Do you fear that dark abyss? All your deeds laid bare, all your sins punished? [Shivering sailor nods.] I can offer you an escape.
Other Dying Sailor: Don't listen to him. [Holding a small cross in his hands]
Davy Jones: [examines Other Dying Sailor, puffing on pipe] Do you not...fear death?
Dying Sailor: I'll take my chances, sir.
Davy Jones: To the depths!
[Jones' crewman slits the sailor's throat and dumps him overboard.]
Another Dying Sailor: Cruel blackguard!
Davy Jones: Life is cruel! Why should the afterlife be any different? I offer you a choice. Join my crew and postpone that final judgement. One hundred years before the mast. Will ye serve?
First Sailor: I-I will serve.
Davy Jones: [guttural] There! [notices Will for the first time.] You are neither dead nor dying. What is your purpose here?
Will: [mutters.] Jack Sparrow sent me to settle his debt.
Davy Jones: [leans forward, surprised] What is your purpose here?
Will: Jack Sparrow..? Sent me to settle his debt?
Davy Jones: [chuckling] Did he, now? I'm sorely tempted to accept that offer!

View Quote Davy Jones: You've been captain of the Black Pearl for thirteen years. That was our agreement.
Jack: Technically, I was only captain for two years before 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? [Jones' crew laugh mockingly.]
Jack: 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: Aha! So we've established my proposal is sound in principle, now we're just haggling over price.
Davy Jones: [intrigued.] Price? [makes popping noise.]
Jack: Just how many souls do you think my soul is worth?
Davy Jones: One hundred souls. Three days.
Jack: You're a diamond, mate! Send me back the boy [Will Turner], we'll get started right off.
Davy Jones: I keep the boy. A good faith payment. That leaves you only 99 more to go. [laughs along with his crew]
Jack: 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 holy matrimony, eh? Eh?
Davy Jones: [brief period of misty-eyed weakness, quickly recovers.] I keep the boy, 99 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: [beat.] Yep! 'm good with it. So, shall we seal it in blood, I mean, er... ink?

View Quote Bootstrap Bill, you are a liar and will spend an eternity on this ship! Master Turner, feel free to go ashore ... the very next time we make port! [laughs]

View Quote 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.
Will: What vexes all men?
Tia Dalma: What, indeed?
Gibbs: The sea?
Pintel: Sums?
Ragetti: The dichotomy of good and evil?
[Everyone stares at Ragetti.]
Jack: A woman.
Tia Dalma: See, it was a woman. He fell in love...
Gibbs: No, no, no, I heard it was the sea he fell in love with.
Tia Dalma: [cutting off all argument.] 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...

View Quote Bosun: Impeding me in my duties? You'll share the punishment!
'Bootstrap' Bill Turner: I'll take it all!
Davy Jones: [arrives on scene] Will you, now? And what would prompt such an act of charity?
'Bootstrap' Bill Turner: [hesitantly] My son...He's my son.
[Davy Jones bursts into laughter]
Davy Jones: What fortuitous cir****stance be this! Five lashes be owed, I believe it is...[thrusts whip at 'Bootstrap' Bill Turner]

View Quote 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!!!!

View Quote 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.

View Quote Will: [watching the crew play Liar's Dice] So any crewmember can be challenged?
Bootstrap Bill: Aye, anyone.
Will: I challenge Davy Jones. [The crew falls silent. Organ music stops as footsteps get louder. Jones appears on deck]
Davy Jones: I accept, mate.

View Quote Gibbs: [as Jack steps onto the Black Pearl, holding a severed skeletal leg.] Not quite according to plan.
Jack: Complications arose, ensued, were overcome.

View Quote Pintel: You know you can't read!
Ragetti: It's the Bible, you get credit for trying!
Pintel:: Pretendin' to read the Bible's a lie! That's a mark against ... [points up.]

View Quote 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 holds up a bottle of rum for him.]
Bootstrap Bill: You got the Pearl back, I see.
Jack Sparrow: I had some help retrieving the Pearl, by the way. Your son.
Bootstrap Bill: William? He ended up a pirate after all.
Jack Sparrow: And to what do I owe the pleasure of your carbuncle?

View Quote Bootstrap Bill: You made a deal with him too, Jack. He raised the Pearl from the depths for you. Thirteen years you've been captain!
Jack: Technically...
Bootstrap Bill: Jack! You won't be able to talk yourself out of this. The terms what apply to me apply to you as well. One soul... bound to crew a hundred years upon his ship!
Jack: Yes but the Flying Dutchman already has a captain so there's really no...
Bootstrap Bill: Then there's the Locker for you!! Jones' terrible leviathan will find you and drag the Pearl down to the depths and you along with it!
Jack: Any idea when Jones might release said terrible beastie?
Bootstrap Bill: I already told you, Jack... your time's up. [marks him with the Black Spot.] It comes now, drawn with ravenous hunger, to the man who bears the Black Spot.

View Quote Will: If there was anything could be done to bring him back... Elizabeth...
Tia Dalma: Would you do it? Hmmm? What... would you? Hmmm? What would any of you be willing to do? Hmmm? Would you sail to the end or the earth, and beyond, to fetch back witty Jack and 'im precious Pearl?
Gibbs: Aye!
Pintel: Aye!
Ragetti: Aye!
Cotton's Parrot: *Squawk!* Aye, aye!
Elizabeth: Yes.
Will: Aye.
Tia Dalma: Good. But if you're goin' brave de weird and haunted shores at World's End, den... you will need a captain who knows dose waters.

Barbossa: So tell me, what's become of my ship? [bites into an apple.] Har har har ha!

Will: Not much..
Jack: Yeah, it's gonna save Elizabeth.
