[Jack has escaped the brig and located the chest, gaurded by Mullroy and Murtogg]
Halt there, or we'll shoot! [He and Murtogg point mini-cannons at Jack, but are visibly shaken by blast from the outer fight]
[Pauses, then smiles]
Good one. Just come to get my effects! [looks around at the two] ... Admirable though it may be, why are you here when you could be elsewhere?
Somebody has to stay and guard the chest. [points the cannon back at the chest]
[as Jack is taking his effects]
There's no question, there's been a breakdown in military discipline aboard this vessel.
I blame the fish-people.
[Sarcastically]
Oh, so fish-people, by dint of being fish-people, automatically aren't as disciplined as non-fish people?
[as Jack is taking the chest, which neither seem to notice]
Seems contributory, is all I'm suggesting.
It is true, if there were no fish-people, there'd be no need to guard the chest.
And if there were no chest, we wouldn't need to be here to guard it.
[both realize that the chest is gone, and the apparent danger they're in]
