I know those guns! [looks out the window] ...It's the Pearl.
The Black Pearl? I've 'eard stories. She's been preyin' on ships and settlements for near ten years. Never leaves any survivors.
No survivors? [chuckles] Then where do the stories come from, I wonder?
That is the child of Bootstrap Bill Turner. His only child. Savvy?
Is he now? 'Leverage,' says you. 'I think I feel a change in the wind,' says I. I'll find us a crew. There's bound to be some sailors on this rock crazy as you.
One can only hope. Take what you can.
Give nothin' back.
This girl... how far are you willing to go to save her?
I would die for her.
Oh, good. No worries, then.
I'm havin' a thought here, Barbossa. What say we run up a flag of truce, I scurry over to the Interceptor, and I negotiate the return of your medallion, eh? What say you to that?
Now, y'see, Jack, that's exactly the attitude that lost you the Pearl. People are easier to search when they're dead. Lock him in the brig.
[Barbossa's men take Jack away, Barbossa takes his apple from him, and looks at it wistfully before angrily throwing it away]
You forget your place, Turner.
It's right here. Between you and Jack.
As is mine.
Governor Swann Elizabeth. [to the Royal Marines] Lower your weapons. For goodness sake, put them down.
So, this is where your heart truly lies, then?
It is.
Well! I'm actually feeling rather good about this. I think we all arrived at a very special place eh? Spiritually. Ecumenically. Grammatically. [to Norrington] I want you to know that I was rooting for you, mate. Know that. [to Elizabeth] Elizabeth. It would never have worked out between us, darling. I'm sorry. [to Will] Will. Nice hat. [to all] Gentlemen, this will be the day you will always remember as the day you- [falls off the ledge]
That's got to be the best pirate I've ever seen.
We know you're 'ere, poppet!
P-poppet.
Come out...and we promise we won't hurt you.
Eh? [points to his nose, then points downward]
We will find you, poppet. You've got somethin' of ours, and it calls to us.
G-gold...
'Ello, poppet.
Twigg No mistakes this time; he's only half Turner. We spill it all!
...Guess there is reason to fret.
Murtogg This dock is off-limits to civilians.
I'm terribly sorry, I didn't know. If I see one, I shall inform you immediately.
Apparently there's some sort of high-toned and fancy to-do up at the fort, eh? How could it be that two upstanding gentlemen such as yourselves did not merit an invitation?
Murtogg Someone has to make sure this dock stays off-limits to civilians.
It's a fine goal, to be sure. But it seems to me that a...[moves over to point at a ship. Murtogg and Mullroy block him again.] a ship like that one makes this one here [points at a closer one] seem a bit superfluous, really.
Murtogg Oh, the Dauntless is the power in these waters, true enough. But there's no ship as can match the Interceptor for speed.
I've heard of one, supposed to be very fast, nigh uncatchable: the Black Pearl.
Murtogg The Black Pearl is a real ship.
Murtogg Yes it is; I've seen it.
You've seen it?
Murtogg Yes.
You haven't seen it.
Murtogg Yes, I have.
You've seen a ship with black sails, that's crewed by the damned and captained by a man so evil that Hell itself spat him back out?
Murtogg ...No.
No.
Murtogg But I have seen a ship with black sails.
Oh! And no ship that's not crewed by the damned and captained by a man so evil that Hell itself spat him back out could possibly have black sails, therefore could possibly be any other ship but the Black Pearl? Is that what you're saying?
Murtogg ...No.
Like I said, there's no real ship as can match the Interceptor...
Murtogg Hey! You, get away from there!
You don't have permission to be aboard there, mate.
I'm sorry. It's such a pretty boat... ship.
What's your name?
Smith. Or Smithy if you'd like.
What's your purpose in Port Royal, Mr. Smith?
Murtogg Yeah, and no lies!
Well, then, I confess. It is my intention to commandeer one of these ships, pick up a crew in Tortuga, raid, pillage, plunder, and otherwise pilfer my weaselly black guts out.
Murtogg I said 'no lies'!
I think he's telling the truth...
Murtogg If he was telling the truth, he wouldn't have told us.
Unless of course, he knew you wouldn't believe the truth, even if he told it to you.
No additional shot nor powder, a compass that doesn't point North...[pulls Jack's sword from its scabbard] And I half expected it to be made of wood. You are, without doubt, the worst pirate I've ever heard of.
But you have heard of me.
I'm not a simpleton, Jack. You knew my father.
I knew him. Probably one of the few who knew him as William Turner. Everyone else just called him "Bootstrap" or "Bootstrap Bill".
"Bootstrap"?
Good man, good pirate. I swear you look just like him.
That's not true. He was a merchant sailor, a good and honest man who obeyed the law.
He was a bloody pirate! A scallywag.
My father was not a pirate! [threatens Jack with a sword]
Put it away, son. It's not worth you getting beat again.
You didn't beat me. You ignored the rules of engagement! In a fair fight, I'd kill you!
Well, that's not much incentive for me to fight fair then, is it? [turns the wheel rapidly, bringing a yard swinging around; Will ends up hanging onto it over the ocean] Now as long as you're just hanging there, pay attention. The only rules that really matter are these: what a man can do, an' what a man can't do. For instance, you can accept that your father was a pirate and a good man, or you can't. But pirate is in your blood, boy, so you'll have to square with that someday. Now, me for example. I can let you drown. But I can't bring this ship all the way into Tortuga all by me onsie, savvy? So- [swings the wheel again; the yard comes back and Will drops to the deck] Can you sail under the command of a pirate, or can you not?
Tortuga?
Tortuga.
How is it that Jack came by that compass?
Not a lot's known about Jack Sparrow 'fore he showed up in Tortuga with a mind to go after the treasure of the Isla de Muerta. That was before I met him, back when he was captain of the Black Pearl.
What!? He failed to mention that.
He plays things closer to the vest now, a hard-learned lesson it was. You see, three days out on the venture, the first mate tells him that everything's in equal share. That should mean the location of the treasure too, so Jack gives up the bearings. That night, there was a mutiny. They marooned Jack on an island and left him to die, but not before he'd gone mad with the heat.
Oh... so that's the reason for all the...[Imitates Jack's odd moves]
Reason's got nothing to do with it. Now Will, when a pirate's marooned, he's given a pistol with a single shot. One shot. Well, that won't do much good hunting or to be rescued. But after three weeks of a starving belly and thirst, that pistol will start to look real friendly. But Jack, he escaped the island, and he still has that single shot. Oh, but he won't use it though, save on one man. His mutinous first mate.
Barbossa?
Aye.
How did Jack get off the island?
Well, I tell ye. He waded out in the shallows and he waited there three days and three nights, 'til all manner of sea creatures 'came acclimated to his presence. And on the fourth morning, he roped himself a couple of sea turtles, lashed 'em together, and made a raft.
Aye, sea turtles!
...What did he use for rope?
What code is Gibbs to keep to if the worst should happen?
Pirate's Code. "Any man who falls behind is left behind."
No heroes amongst thieves, eh?
You know, for having such a bleak outlook on pirates, you're well on your way to be coming one. Sprung a man from jail, commandeered a ship of the Fleet, sailed with a buccaneer crew out of Tortuga. [sees Will looking at coins shining in water] And you're completely obsessed with treasure.
That's not true, I'm not obsessed with treasure.
Not all treasure's silver and gold, mate.
No!
NO! I cannot just step aside and let you escape.
How can we sail to an island that can't be found, with a compass that doesn't work?!
Aye, the compass doesn't point north- but we're not trying to find north, are we?
This is either madness or brilliance.
It's remarkable how often those two traits coincide.
Jack?
It's not possible.
Not probable.
Where is Elizabeth?
She's safe, just like I promised. She's all set to marry Norrington, just like she promised. And you get to die for her, just like you promised. So we're all men of our word, really... except for Elizabeth, who is, in fact, a woman.
Shut up! You're next!
