More lines from Davy Jones
26 quotesI keep the boy... a good faith payment. That leaves you only ninety-nine more to go!
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?
One hundred souls... three days.
How do you know of the key?
Heh heh heh ... Welcome to the crew, lad!
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!!!!
You need time alone with your thoughts. Brig!
Let them taste the triple guns.
Damn you, Jack ... SPARROOOOOW!!!
There are no survivors!
The chest is no longer safe. Chart a course to Isla Cruces! Get me there first or there'll be the Devil to pay!
Who sent that thieving charlatan on to my ship? Who told him of the key? Jack Sparrow...
I am the sea.
Do you fear death? Do you fear that dark abyss? All your deeds lay bare, [snorts] all your sins punished. I can offer you... an escape.
Life is cruel. Why should the afterlife be any different?
You are neither dead nor dying. What is your purpose here?
Oh, did he now? I'm sorely tempted to accept that offer!
You have a debt to pay. You've been captain of the Black Pearl for thirteen years. That was our agreement!
Then you were a poor captain, but a captain nonetheless. [Mockingly] Have you not introduced yourself all these years as Captain Jack Sparrow!? [Laughs]
I offer you a choice: Join my crew, and postpone the judgement. A hundred years before the mast... Will ye serve?
I accept, mate. The stakes?
Break off pursuit, run her light and dowse canvas!
Will you now? And what would prompt such an act of charity?
Enough! Send his beloved Pearl back to the depths!
You owe me your soul. Now it's time to pay up. (commercials)
Scenes with Davy Jones
9 scenesDo 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]
Do you not...fear death?
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?
What is your purpose here?
Jack Sparrow..? Sent me to settle his debt?
Did he, now? I'm sorely tempted to accept that offer!
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.
Price? [makes popping noise.]
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?
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]
Aye, anyone.
I challenge Davy Jones. [The crew falls silent. Organ music stops as footsteps get louder. Jones appears on deck]
I accept, mate.
The boy's not there. He must've been claimed by the sea.
I am the sea!
The chest is no longer safe. Chart a course for Isla Cruces. Get me there first, or there'll be the devil to pay!
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!
Jack Sparrow, our debt is settled.
The Captain goes down with the ship.
Turns out not even Jack Sparrow can best the Devil!
Jack Sparrow, our debt is settled.
The captain goes down with his ship.
Looks like even Jack Sparrow can't best the devil!
Open the chest.
Open the chest. I need to see it!
Damn you, Jack [starts screaming] SPARROW!!!!!!!!!!
