Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest quotes
Page 1 of 11Flying Dutchman's First Mate: Down on your marrow-bones and pray!
*Squawk* Don't eat me! *Squawk* No! Don't eat me!
By your leave, Mr. Turner.
Will...
I don't need your help!
The bosun prides himself on cleaving flesh from bone, with every swing.
So I'm supposed to think what you just did was an act of compassion?
You made a deal with him too, Jack. He raised the Pearl from the depths for you. Thirteen years you've been captain!
Technically...
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!
Yes but the Flying Dutchman already has a captain so there's really no...
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!
Any idea when Jones might release said terrible beastie?
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.
Impeding me in my duties? You'll share the punishment!
'Bootstrap' Bill Turner: I'll take it all!
Will you, now? And what would prompt such an act of charity?
'Bootstrap' Bill Turner: [hesitantly] My son...He's my son.
What fortuitous circumstance be this! Five lashes be owed, I believe it is...[thrusts whip at 'Bootstrap' Bill Turner]
Jack Sparrow, our debt is settled.
The Captain goes down with the ship.
Turns out not even Jack Sparrow can best the Devil!
The chest is no longer safe. Chart a course for Isla Cruces. Get me there first, or there'll be the devil to pay!
Koleniko First?
Who sent that thieving charlatan onto my ship? Who told him of the key? [beat] Jack Sparrow.
They're here, and I cannot set foot on land for near of a decade!
Then you trust us to go in your stead?
I trust you to know what happens should you fail!
You've been captain of the Black Pearl for thirteen years. That was our agreement.
Technically, I was only captain for two years before I was viciously mutinied upon...
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.]
You have my payment. One soul to serve on your ship is already over there.
One soul is not equal to another.
Aha! So we've established my proposal is sound in principle, now we're just haggling over price.
Just how many souls do you think my soul is worth?
One hundred souls. Three days.
You're a diamond, mate! Send me back the boy [Will Turner], we'll get started right off.
I keep the boy. A good faith payment. That leaves you only 99 more to go. [laughs along with his crew]
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?
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?
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.
Don't listen to him. [Holding a small cross in his hands]
I'll take my chances, sir.
To the depths!
Cruel blackguard!
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?
I-I will serve.
There! [notices Will for the first time.] You are neither dead nor dying. What is your purpose here?
Jack Sparrow..? Sent me to settle his debt?
The captain goes down with his ship.
Looks like even Jack Sparrow can't best the devil!
Damn you, Jack [starts screaming] SPARROW!!!!!!!!!!
I do that quite a lot. Yet people are always surprised.
Thank you, Jack.
We're not free yet, love.
You came back. I always knew you were a good man.
It's after you, not the ship. It's not us. This is the only way, don't you see?
