Joshamee Gibbs

If things don't go as planned then we're the only chance they've got!

Joshamee Gibbs
[After Pintel tells Gibbs that the Pirate Lords should change "9 Pieces of Eight" because they are not using pieces of eight]

: To what? To "Nine Pieces of Whatever-We-Happen-to-Have-in-Our-Pockets-at-the-Time"? Oh yes, that sounds very piratey.

Joshamee Gibbs

Tell me ladies; what do you know of sea turtles?

Gibbs

Look sharp, men. It's not for naught that this be called Shipwreck Island, on which is found Shipwreck Cove and the town of Shipwreck!

You know, for all that pirates are clever cobs, we are a very unimaginative lot when it comes to naming things. I once sailed with a geezer; lost both his arms and part of his eye.

Gibbs

What'ya call 'im?

... Larry.

It's not over.

There's still a fight to be had.

Gibbs

We have an armada against us. And with the Dutchman there's no chance.

There's only a fool's chance.

Revenge won't bring your father back, Miss Swann, And it's not something I'm intendin' to die for.

You're right... Then what shall we die for? [turns around] You will listen to me. Listen!! The Brethren will still be looking here to us, to the Black Pearl, to lead. And what will they see? Frightened bilge rats aboard a derelict ship? No. No, they will see free men. And freedom! And what the enemy will see is the flash of our cannons, they will hear the ring of our swords and they will know what we can do! By the sweat of our brows [looks at Barbossa] and the strength of our backs... and the courage of our hearts! Gentlemen, hoist the colors!

[nods]

Hoist the colors.

Hoist the colors!

Hoist the colors!

Gibbs

Aye... the wind's on our side, boys! That's all we need!

All
[cheering]

HOIST THE COLORS!

[Barbossa has just convened Brethren Court at Shipwreck cove]

To confirm your lordship and right to be heard, present now your Pieces-of-Eight, my fellow captains!

[The pirate lords begin to place small objects in a bowl, rather than pieces-of-eight.]

Those aren't pieces-of-eight... they're just pieces of junk!

Gibbs

Aye, the original plan was to use Nine Pieces-of-Eight to bind Calypso, but when the First Court met, the Brethren were to a one skint broke.

So change the name.

Gibbs

What? To "Nine Pieces of Whatever-We-Have-In-Our-Pockets-At-The-Time"? Oh yes, that sounds very piratey.

[After winning the climactic battle, Jack and Gibbs stand at the helm]

Mr. Gibbs, you may throw my hat if you like. [gives Gibbs his hat]

Gibbs

Aye aye, Captain! [throws hat] Hooray!!

[pause]

Now go get it.

Giselle

Is that it?

Scarlett

It's not very big.

Love, that is a dinghy. My vessel is magnificent, and fierce, and huge-ish, and... gone. Why is it gone?

Giselle
[pointing the horizon, where the Pearl is]

Is that it there? The Black Pearl?

Yes, there it is. Why is it there? :[Pause, looks at both of the girls] It's much bigger up close.

Scarlett

Jack, you promised to take me for a ride!

Giselle

I was to be given first ride!

Scarlett

What? You?

[The women start fighting. Jack pours rum on sleeping Gibbs. Gibbs wakes up.]

Mr. Gibbs, any particular reason about why my ship is gone?

Gibbs

The ship? We're on the ship. [Begins to fall back to sleep, then wakes suddenly] JACK! The ship's gone!

[sarcastically]

Really?

[Stopping women fighting]

Ladies! Will you please shut it? Listen to me. :[Back and forth between each girl with each sentence, starting with Giselle] Yes, I lied to you. No, I don't love you. Yes, of course it makes you look fat. I've never been to Brussels. It is pronounced "egregious". By the way, no, I've never met Pizzaro, but I love his pies. And all of this pales to utter insignificance in light of the fact that my ship is, once again, gone! Savvy!?

Gibbs
[Giselle slaps Jack, walks off] [Scarlett slaps Jack, walks off] [Jack slaps Gibbs] [Gibbs glares at Jack and then he and Jack smile at each other]

Take what you can.

Give nothing back.

Gibbs
[Gibbs catches up with Giselle and Scarlett and puts his arms around them]

Tell me ladies, what do you know of sea turtles?

Gibbs

Look alive and keep a weather eye, men! It's not for naught it's called Shipwreck Island where lies Shipwreck Cove in the town of Shipwreck.

You know, for all that pirates are clever clogs, we are an unimaginative lot when it comes to naming things.

Gibbs
[nods]

Aye.

I once sailed with a geezer lost both his arms and part of his eye.

Gibbs

What did you call him?

[pauses]

Larry.
