A scene from Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl 2003
Murtogg

This dock is off-limits to civilians.

Jack

I'm terribly sorry, I didn't know. If I see one, I shall inform you immediately.

Jack

[Jack keeps walking, but Murtogg and Mullroy block him again.]

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.

Jack

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.

Jack

I've heard of one, supposed to be very fast, nigh uncatchable: the Black Pearl.

Mullroy

[laughing slightly]

There's no real ship that can match the Interceptor.

Murtogg

[shoots Mullroy a confused look]

The Black Pearl is a real ship.

Mullroy

[turns to Murtogg]

No. No, it's not.

Murtogg

Yes it is; I've seen it.

Mullroy

You've seen it?

Murtogg

Yes.

Mullroy

You haven't seen it.

Murtogg

Yes, I have.

Mullroy

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.

Mullroy

No.

Murtogg

But I have seen a ship with black sails.

Mullroy

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

[thinks, then smiles]

...No.

Mullroy

Like I said, there's no real ship as can match the Interceptor...

Murtogg

[The two turn back around and see that Jack has disappeared, then see him at ship's wheel.]

Hey! You, get away from there!

Mullroy

You don't have permission to be aboard there, mate.

Jack Sparrow

I'm sorry. It's such a pretty boat... ship.

Mullroy

What's your name?

Jack Sparrow

Smith. Or Smithy if you'd like.

Mullroy

What's your purpose in Port Royal, Mr. Smith?

Murtogg

Yeah, and no lies!

Jack Sparrow

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'!

Mullroy

I think he's telling the truth...

Murtogg

If he was telling the truth, he wouldn't have told us.

Jack Sparrow

Unless of course, he knew you wouldn't believe the truth, even if he told it to you.
