Curse of the Black Pearl…
I can vaguely remember what happened last night. There was rum… lots of rum… and Elizabeth. And singin' and more rum. Must have passed out. I move a little and feel the sand shift beneath me. I'm still on the beach on the God-forsaken spit of land. My head's poundin'. But I soon discover… that's the least of my troubles.
I'm not sure if I'm tastin' or smellin' this. Burning. Burnin' what though? I open my eyes and see smoke waftin' over me. Something clicks and I recognise the smell.
Burnin' wood and burnin' rum. She wouldn't. I leap to my feet in time to see Elizabeth throwing a barrel onto a bonfire. A barrel of rum. She would. It explodes. I move up the beach towards her. Shoutin', beggin' for her to stop.
I knew there was a reason why I didn't like Miss Flamin' Swann. Everything's gone. Lizzie burnt it all. And I tell her. The food. The shade. The rum.
MY rum.
This woman has just become enemy number two. One, she tricked me into gettin' drunk to burn the rum, two, she burned the rum and three… she burned the rum. She's finished speakin'. "Why is the rum gone?" I ask desperately.
Lizzie turns around and begins to shout at me. Somethin' about respectable men and the Royal Navy. I don't care. She burned all my rum. Again I ask why it's gone. I still don't care what she says. Elizabeth turns and sits on the beach tellin' me that I'll see white sails on the horizon. Now, I'm really annoyed and I pull my beloved pistol on her.
A little voice in my head is tellin' me to do it. Aside from the fact that she burnt the rum, I'm now goin' to be arrested because of her… again! Why the bloody hell did I dive in and rescue her in the first place? Should've let her drown.
But another one's sayin' that the navy will probably be here soon because of darlin' Elizabeth. And I'll be in it deeper if she's been shot.
I think better of shootin' her, no matter how much I would like to. I return my pistol to where I pulled it from and stalk off. I hate Elizabeth Swann. No, I loathe Miss Bloody Swann the Arsonist.
It's all gone. The damn woman burned my rum!

This is my favourite scene in all of the Pirates movies. I've just kind of had this stuck in my head for a while and decided to post it. Review and tell me what you think.
