13 scenes
Gibbs
[as Jack steps onto the Black Pearl, holding a severed skeletal leg.]

Not quite according to plan.

Jack

Complications arose, ensued, were overcome.

Gibbs

Captain, I think the crew, meaning me as well, were expecting something more... shiny. What with the Isla de Muerta going all pear-shaped, reclaimed by the sea and the treasure with it.

Leech

And the Royal Navy chasing us all around the Atlantic.

Marty

And the Hurricane.

Gibbs

All in all, its been some time since we did a speck of honest piratin'.

Jack

Shiny?

Gibbs

Aye, shiny.

Jack

Is that how you're all feeling, then? That maybe old Jack is not serving your best interests as captain?

Cotton's Parrot

*Squawk* Walk the plank!

Jack
[pulls out gun and points it at the parrot.]

WHAT DID THE BIRD SAY?!

Gibbs
[Jack shoots part of monkey's tail off.]

Captain, you know that don't do any good.

Jack

It does me!

Marty
[picks up the cloth]

It's a key.

Jack

No, much more better. It is a drawing of a key.

Jack
[The crew stare blankly.]

Gentlemen, what do keys do?

Leech

Keys ... unlock things?

Gibbs
[catching on.]

And whatever this key unlocks, inside there's something valuable ... So, we're setting out to find whatever this key unlocks?

Jack

No. If we don't have the key, we can't open whatever it is we don't have that it unlocks. So what purpose would be served in finding whatever needs be unlocked... which we don't have... without having first found the key what unlocks it?

Gibbs

So, we're going after this key!

Jack

You're not making any sense at all.

Jack
[Marked by the Black Spot, Jack Sparrow runs around on deck, rousing the crew.]

All hands on deck! Make fast the bunt gasket! On deck! Scurry! Scurry! I want movement! Movement! I want movement! Lift the skin up! Keep your loof! Haul those sheets! Run them! Run! Keep running! Run as if the Devil himself and itself is upon us!

Gibbs

Do we have a heading?

Jack

Argh! [realises who it is.] Run! Land.

Gibbs

Which port?

Jack

I didn't say 'port'. I said 'land'. Any land.

Gibbs

Let's put some distance between us and this island and head out to open sea.

Jack

Yes to the first and yes to the second, but only insofar as we keep to the shallows as much as possible.

Gibbs

That's seems a bit contradictory, Captain.

Jack

I have every faith in your reconcilliatory navigational skills, Master Gibbs. Now where is that monkey? I want to shoot something!

Will

Why is Jack afraid of the open ocean?

Gibbs

Well, if you believe such things... there's a beast does the bidding of Davy Jones - a fearsome creature with giant tentacles that'll suction your face clean off, and drag an entire ship down to the crushing darkness. The Kraken. They say the stench of its breath is...[shudders] Imagine... the last thing you know on God's green Earth is the roar of the Kraken, and the reeking odor of a thousand rotting corpses... if you believe such things.

Will

And the key will spare him that?

Gibbs

Well, that's the very question Jack wants answered. Bad enough even to go visit...her.

Will

"Her?"

Jack

No worries, mates. Tia Dalma and I go way back; Thick as thieves. Nigh unseperable we are... were... have been... before...

Gibbs
[going to see Tia Dalma.]

I'll watch yer back.

Jack

It's me front I'm worried about...

Gibbs
[To Will.]

Mind the boat.

Will
[To Pintel.]

Mind the boat.

Pintel
[To Ragetti.]

Mind the boat.

Ragetti
[To Marty.]

Mind the boat.

Marty
[To Mr. Cotton and his parrot.]

Mind the boat.

Cotton's Parrot

*Squawk* Mind the boat.
[Flies into Tia Dalma's shack, leaving Mr. Cotton to mind the boat.]

Tia Dalma

You know of Davy Jones, yes? A man of the sea. A great sailor. Until he ran afoul of that which vexes all men.

Will

What vexes all men?

Tia Dalma

What, indeed?

Gibbs

The sea?

Pintel

Sums?

Ragetti

The dichotomy of good and evil?

Jack
[Everyone stares at Ragetti.]

A woman.

Tia Dalma

See, it was a woman. He fell in love...

Gibbs

No, no, no, I heard it was the sea he fell in love with.

Tia Dalma
[cutting off all argument.]

Same story, different versions. And all are true. You see, it was a woman. As harsh, changing and untamable like the sea. Him never stopped loving her...

Gibbs

What about Norrington?

Jack

He fell behind.

Gibbs

Our thoughts be with him. [pause] Well, best not wallow in our grief!

Jack

Abandon ship. Into the longboat.

Gibbs

Jack! The Pearl!

Jack
[sadly.]

She's only a ship, mate.

Will
[When Tia Dalma suggests Will could have done more to save his father]

It doesn't matter anymore. The Pearl is gone...along with its captain.

Gibbs

Aye...and already the world seems to be a bit less bright. He fooled us all to the very end. But I guess that honest streak finally won out. [Raises mug.] To Jack Sparrow!

Ragetti
[Raises mug.]

Never another like Captain Jack!

Pintel
[Raises mug.]

He was a gentleman of fortune, he was.

Elizabeth

He was a good man.

Will

If there was anything could be done to bring him back... Elizabeth...

Tia Dalma

Would you do it? Hmmm? What... would you? Hmmm? What would any of you be willing to do? Hmmm? Would you sail to the end or the earth, and beyond, to fetch back witty Jack and 'im precious Pearl?

Gibbs

Aye!

Pintel

Aye!

Ragetti

Aye!

Cotton's Parrot

*Squawk!* Aye, aye!

Elizabeth

Yes.

Will

Aye.

Tia Dalma

Good. But if you're goin' brave de weird and haunted shores at World's End, den... you will need a captain who knows dose waters.

Barbossa
[a man wearing boots descends the stairs into the room. The crew stare in surprise at...]

So tell me, what's become of my ship? [bites into an apple.] Har har har ha!

Jack

Now all that's left is to climb aboard Davy Jones's crocodile machine or whatever it's called. [to crew offscreen] What's the bloody thing called? Flying what..? Dutchman!

Jack

I shall help you find the compass if you'll do strange things to my dog. His name is Tim.

Gibbs

Let's put some distance between us and this island and head out to open sea.

Jack

Yes to the first and yes to the second but only insofar as we I'll just start that take again shall I?

Gibbs

Good idea.

Governor Swann

The charge is conspiring to set free a man convicted of... [sighs]

All
[complete silence]
Governor Swann

I can't read my own writing. Crimes, thank you very much.

Lord Cutler Beckett

The charge is conspiring to set free a man legally lawfully I'm sorry I'm slightly confused about what version we're doing. Shall I say it or does Jonathon say it?

Governor Swann

It's my line, dear.

Lord Cutler Beckett

Oh, sorry.

Governor Swann
[mouths]

That's mine, bitch!

Jack

Are you certain? [loud creaking sound]..... [quietly] Sorry.

Jack

Why fight when you can negotiate? All one needs- [realizes a dreadlock is stuck in the jar of dirt] [Will cracks up laughing] Help?

Sailor

There is a female presence on board, sir. All the men have felt her- [rest of the crew crack up laughing] No, they haven't felt her...

Jack

Your recolciliatory reacaliotory relalaltrltyyua LA. There, I said it, I feel better for it.

Gibbs

Again! Again!

Lord Cutler Beckett
[having forgotten his line] [pauses, indicates Governor Swann]

Kill him!

Tia Dalma

If you want to brave the weird, and haunted shores at World's End, then... [tries to move, realizes her dress is stuck on a table] I'm stuck, sorry.
