Davy Jones

I keep the boy... a good faith payment. That leaves you only ninety-nine more to go!

Davy Jones

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?

Davy Jones
[to Will.]

Heh heh heh ... Welcome to the crew, lad!

Davy Jones

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!!!!

Davy Jones
[sending Bootstrap Bill to the brig.]

You need time alone with your thoughts. Brig!

Davy Jones

The chest is no longer safe. Chart a course to Isla Cruces! Get me there first or there'll be the Devil to pay!

Davy Jones

Who sent that thieving charlatan on to my ship? Who told him of the key? Jack Sparrow...

Davy Jones

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.

Davy Jones

Life is cruel. Why should the afterlife be any different?

Davy Jones

You are neither dead nor dying. What is your purpose here?

Davy Jones

Oh, did he now? I'm sorely tempted to accept that offer!

Davy Jones
[to Jack]

You have a debt to pay. You've been captain of the Black Pearl for thirteen years. That was our agreement!

Davy Jones

Then you were a poor captain, but a captain nonetheless. [Mockingly] Have you not introduced yourself all these years as Captain Jack Sparrow!? [Laughs]

Davy Jones

I offer you a choice: Join my crew, and postpone the judgement. A hundred years before the mast... Will ye serve?

Davy Jones

Break off pursuit, run her light and dowse canvas!

Davy Jones

Will you now? And what would prompt such an act of charity?

Davy Jones

Enough! Send his beloved Pearl back to the depths!

Davy Jones

You owe me your soul. Now it's time to pay up. (commercials)

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!

Another Dying Sailor
[Jones' crewman slits the sailor's throat and dumps him overboard.]

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?

[mutters.]

Jack Sparrow sent me to settle his debt.

Davy Jones
[leans forward, surprised]

What is your purpose here?

Jack Sparrow..? Sent me to settle his debt?

Davy Jones
[chuckling]

Did he, now? I'm sorely tempted to accept that offer!

Davy Jones

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...

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.]

You have my payment. One soul to serve on your ship is already over there.

Davy Jones

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.

Davy Jones
[intrigued.]

Price? [makes popping noise.]

Just how many souls do you think my soul is worth?

Davy Jones

One hundred souls. Three days.

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]

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?

[beat.]

Yep! 'm good with it. So, shall we seal it in blood, I mean, er... ink?

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
[Davy Jones bursts into laughter]

What fortuitous circumstance be this! Five lashes be owed, I believe it is...[thrusts whip at 'Bootstrap' Bill Turner]

[watching the crew play Liar's Dice]

So any crewmember can be challenged?

Aye, anyone.

I challenge Davy Jones. [The crew falls silent. Organ music stops as footsteps get louder. Jones appears on deck]

Davy Jones

I accept, mate.

The boy's not there. He must've been claimed by the sea.

Davy Jones

I am the sea!

Davy Jones

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?

Davy Jones

Who sent that thieving charlatan onto my ship? Who told him of the key? [beat] Jack Sparrow.

Davy Jones

They're here, and I cannot set foot on land for near of a decade!

Then you trust us to go in your stead?

Davy Jones

I trust you to know what happens should you fail!

Davy Jones

Jack Sparrow, our debt is settled.

Palifico

The Captain goes down with the ship.

Turns out not even Jack Sparrow can best the Devil!

Davy Jones
[watches Black Pearl sink]

Jack Sparrow, our debt is settled.

Palifico

The captain goes down with his ship.

Looks like even Jack Sparrow can't best the devil!

Davy Jones
[turns to Maccus]

Open the chest.

Davy Jones
[Maccus stares at him.]

Open the chest. I need to see it!

Davy Jones
[His crew bring out the chest. Davy Jones looks inside and sees that it is empty.] [furious]

Damn you, Jack [starts screaming] SPARROW!!!!!!!!!!
