Pirates of the Caribbean Script

Screenplay by Terry Rossio and Ted Elliott

For everyone's reading pleasure, here it is, the
script for "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the
Black Pearl". It took me hours to complete typing it
all up by ear. So there will certainly be mistakes and
there is a large share of missed words entirely. Post
it wherever you want just give me credit. Enjoy and if
you have a correction, e-mail it to me and I will fix
it ASAP.

Other Notes (please read before e-mailing me, maybe
your query has been already answered):

- There has been more discrepancy in the word
'parley', 'parlay', or a French version. The Disney
book uses 'parley' so that's the one I'll be using.

- For those who'd like a more thorough understanding
of what exactly is happening might want to visit this
website with many screencaps from the movie (great
thanks to Kimera for those [as she requested please
upload the pictures to your own server]): Pirates of
the Caribbean Screencaps

- The files, with which I worked, were far from
perfect and I did my best, there were a few moments in
the first half of the movie that had some pieces
completely cut out, the reconstructed lines that I
received, I posted. For those wishing to download your
own copy, I used the program WinMX.

- Of course, a great big thank you to those who've
sent in corrections and comments. I update when I've
amassed a considerable amount of updates.

- Nevoreiel

Scene 1: (Dream sequence of Will ?s rescue)

Young Elizabeth : [standing at the bow of a ship and
singing] ?We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot.
Drink up me 'earties yo ho! We kidnap and ravage and
don't give a hoot. Drink up me 'earties yo ho! Yo ho
yo ho a pirate's life for me. We extort, we pilfer, we
filch and sack. Drink up ? [ Gibbs puts his hand on
her shoulder which surprises her]

Gibbs : Quiet, missy, cursed pirates sail these
waters. You don?t want to bring them down on us now,
do ya?

Norrington: Mr. Gibbs that will do!

Gibbs : She was singing about pirates. Bad luck to be
singing about pirates with us mired in this unnatural
fog. Mark my words.

Norrington: Consider them marked. On your way.

Gibbs : Aye, Lieutenant. It?s bad luck to have a woman
on board, too, even a miniature one.

Young Elizabeth : I think it?d be rather exciting to
meet a pirate.

Norrington: Think again, Miss Swann . Vile and
dissolute creatures, the lot of them. I intend to see
to that any man who sails under a pirate flag or wears
a pirate brand gets what he deserves ? a short drop
and a sudden stop. [ Elizabeth glances at Gibbs who
mimes a hanging]

Governor Swann : Lieutenant Norrington , I appreciate
your fervor. But I?m?I?m concerned about the effect
this subject will have upon my daughter.

Norrington: My apologies, Governor Swann .

Young Elizabeth : Actually, I find it all fascinating.

Governor Swann : Yes, that?s what concerns me.

Young Elizabeth : [sees a parasol and then a piece of
wreckage with a boy on it in the water] Look, a boy!
There?s a boy in the water!

Norrington: Man overboard! Fetch a Hook! Haul him
aboard. [they get him on board] He?s still breathing.

Gibbs : [spots burning ship] Mary , Mother of God!

Governor Swann : What happened here?

Norrington: It?s most likely the powder magazine.
Merchant vessels run heavily armed.

Gibbs : A lot of good it did them. Everyone?s thinking
it; I?m just saying it ? pirates!

Governor Swann : There?s no proof of that. It was
probably an accident.

Norrington: Rouse the Captain immediately! Heave to
and take in sail, launch the boats.

Governor Swann : Elizabeth I want you to accompany the
boy. He?ll be in your charge. Take care of him. [she
nods and walks over to the young Will ]

Young Elizabeth : [Will awakes, grabbing her wrist]
It?s ok. My name?s Elizabeth Swann .

Young Will: W-W-Will Turner .

Young Elizabeth : I?m watching over you, Will . [ Will
faints, she notices medallion and examines it] You?re
a p-pirate. [hides it when Norrington approaches]

Norrington: Has he said anything?

Young Elizabeth : His name is William Turner , that?s
all I found out.

Norrington: [to sailors] Take him below.

[ Elizabeth studies the medallion closer and upon
looking up sees a ship with the black flag flying at
its mast; she closes her eyes]

[End dream]

Scene 2: (A beautiful dress and an impressive sword)

[ Elizabeth awakes and decides to take out the
medallion from a hiding place in her bureau drawer;
she puts it on; there?s a knock on the door]

Governor Swann : Elizabeth ! Are you alright? Are you
decent?

Elizabeth : [hides medallion in the bodice of her
nightgown, throws on a robe] Yes, yes!

Governor Swann : Still abed at this hour? [opens the
curtains and the window] It?s a beautiful day. I have
a gift for you. [reveals dress]

Elizabeth : Oh, it?s beautiful!

Governor Swann : Isn?t it?

Elizabeth : May I inquire as to the occasion?

Governor Swann : Does a father need an occasion to
dote upon his daughter? [to the maids] Go on.
Actually, I, uh?I had hoped you might wear it for the
ceremony today.

Elizabeth : The ceremony?

Governor Swann : Captain Norrington ?s promotion
ceremony.

Elizabeth : I knew it!

Governor Swann : Commodore Norrington as he?s about to
become! [the maids lace Elizabeth up into a corset]
Fine gentleman, don?t you think. He fancies you.
Elizabeth ? How?s it coming?

Elizabeth : It?s difficult to say.

Governor Swann : I?m told it?s the latest fashion in
London

Elizabeth : Well, women in London must?ve learned not
to breathe.

Servant: M?lord , you have a visitor.

[ Will studies a sconce and upon touching it, a piece
comes off in his hand; he buries it in the vase that?s
holding canes and umbrellas]

Governor Swann : [walks downstairs after the servant]
Ah, Mr. Turner , good to see you again.

Will: Good day, sir. I have your order. [opens case
and takes out the sword] The blade is folded steel,
that?s gold filigree laid into the handle. If I may?
[balances the sword] Perfectly balanced. The tang is
nearly the full width of the blade. [flips the sword
and presents it gracefully to the Governor]

Governor Swann : [takes the sword] Impressive, very
impressive. Ah, now, Commodore Norrington is going to
be very pleased with this. Do pass my compliments on
to your Master.

Will : I shall. A craftsman is always pleased to hear
his work is appreciated.

Governor Swann : [enter Elizabeth ] Ah, Elizabeth ,
you look absolutely stunning.

Elizabeth : Will! So good to see you. I had a dream
about you last night.

Will : About me?

Governor Swann : Elizabeth , is that entirely proper
for you to??

Elizabeth : About the day we met, do you remember?

Will : How could I forget, Miss Swann ?

Elizabeth : Will, how many times must I ask you to
call me Elizabeth ?

Will: At least once more, Miss Swann , as always.

Governor Swann : There, see, at least the boy has a
sense of propriety. Now, we really must be going.
Farewell.

Elizabeth : Good day, Mr. Turner .

Governor Swann : Come along.

Will: Good day? [Elizabeth and the Governor exit, Will
trailing after them, they leave in a carriage]
Elizabeth .

Scene 3: (A most excellent entrance, the debate, and
the proposal)

[Jack stands on the mast of his boat, noticing that
it?s filling up with water he jumps down to bail it
out; notices three pirate skeletons hanging with a
sign ?pirates ye be warned? and pays homage to them;
reaches the port, his boat sinking lower and lower
until he is at the dock and is able to simply walk off
the boat?s mast]

Harbormaster: [to Jack ] What? Hold up there, you.
It?s a shilling to tie up your boat at the docks.
[they both look at the sunken boat] And I shall need
to know your name.

Jack : [hands him three shillings] What d?ye say to
three shillings and we forget the name

Harbormaster: Welcome to Port Royal , Mr. Smith . [
Jack sees the Harbormasters money pouch and takes it]

[Norrington?s promotion ceremony] Shouted orders to
soldiers: Two paces front! Right about turn! Present
arms! [Norrington walks to get his promotion,
unsheathes his new sword]

Murtogg: [spots Jack ] 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. [tries to
continue on his way but is again thwarted] Apparently
there?s some sort of a 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? [shifts again] a ship like that [points out
the Dauntless] makes this one here a bit superfluous,
really.

Murtogg: Ah, the Dauntless is the power in these
waters, true enough, but there?s no ship that can
match the Interceptor for speed.

Jack : I?ve heard of one, supposed to be very fast,
nigh un-catchable?the Black Pearl.

Mullroy: Well?there?s no real ship that can match the
Interceptor.

Murtogg: The Black Pearl is a real ship.

Mullroy: 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. [
Jack slips away while they banter]

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 couldn?t possibly be any other ship than the
Black Pearl. Is that what you?re saying?

Murtogg: [nods] No.

Mullroy: Like I said? there?s no real ship as can
match the Interceptor. [notices Jack at the wheel of
the Interceptor]

Murtogg: Hey! You! Get away from there.

Mullroy: You don?t have permission to be aboard there,
mate.

Jack : I?m sorry, it?s just it?s such a pretty boat ?
ship.

Murtogg: What?s your name?

Jack : Smith or?Smithy, if you like.

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

Murtogg: Yeah, and no lies.

Jack: 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 weasely black guts out!

Murtogg: I said no lies!

Mullroy: I think he?s telling the truth.

Murtogg: If he were telling the truth, he wouldn?t
have told us.

Jack : Unless, of course, he knew you wouldn?t believe
the truth even if he told it to you.

[on the battlements of the Fort] Norrington: May I
have a moment? You look lovely, Elizabeth . I
apologize if I seem forward but I? must speak my mind.
This promotion throws into sharp relief that which I
have not yet achieved ? a marriage to a fine woman.
You have become a fine woman, Elizabeth .

Elizabeth : I can?t breathe.

Norrington: Yes, I?m a bit nervous myself. [she falls
over battlement]

Scene 4: (The daring rescue and escape)

Jack : [in boat with guards] ?and then they made me
their chief.

Norrington: Elizabeth ? Elizabeth ! [makes to jump in
after her]

Gillette : [stops him] The rocks! Sir, it?s a miracle
she missed them.

Jack : Will you be saving her then?

Mullroy: I can?t swim.

Jack : [glances at Murtogg who stares back at him]
Pearl of the King?s Navy you are. [hands the guards
his effects] Do not lose these. [dives in to save her]

Murtogg: [the medallion calls to the Black Pearl ]
What was that? [helps Jack with Elizabeth ] I got her.
Not breathing!

Jack : Move! [shoves him aside, cuts open corset and
Elizabeth spits out water and gasps for breath]

Mullroy: Never would have thought of that.

Jack : Clearly you?ve never been to Singapore . [sees
medallion, to Elizabeth ] Where did you get that?

Norrington: [to Jack , pointing his sword at him] On
your feet.

Governor Swann : [helps Elizabeth up] Elizabeth . Are
you alright?

Elizabeth : Yes, I?m fine.

Governor Swann : [sees Murtogg holding Elizabeth 's
corset; Murtogg points at Jack ; Swann looks over at
Jack ] Shoot him!

Elizabeth : Father! Commodore, do you really intend to
kill my rescuer?

Norrington: I believe thanks are in order. [offers his
hand to shake; reveals ?P? for pirate] Had a brush
with the East India Trading company, did we, pirate?

Governor Swann : Hang him.

Norrington: Keep your guns on him, men. Gillette ,
fetch some irons. [sees tattoo of a sparrow in flight]
Well, well? Jack Sparrow , isn?t it?

Jack : Captain Jack Sparrow , if you please, sir.

Norrington: Well, I don?t see your ship?Captain.

Jack : I?m in the market as it were.

Murtogg: He said he?d come to commandeer one.

Mullroy: Told ya he was telling the truth. These are
his, sir. [hands him Jack ?s effects]

Norrington: No additional shots nor powder. A compass
that doesn?t point north. [unsheathes sword] And I
half expected it to be made of wood. You are, without
doubt, the worst pirate I?ve ever heard of.

Jack : But you have heard of me. [is pulled along to
be put in chains]

Elizabeth : Commodore, I really must protest.

Norrington: Carefully Lieutenant.

Elizabeth : Pirate or not this man saved my life.

Norrington: One good deed is not enough to redeem a
man of a lifetime of wickedness.

Jack : Though it seems enough to condemn him.

Norrington: Indeed. [ Gillette moves away from Jack ]

Jack : Finally. [throws his irons around Elizabeth ?s
neck]

Governor Swann : No, don?t shoot!

Jack : I knew you?d warm up to me. Commodore
Norrington, my effects, please, and my hat. Commodore!
Elizabeth . It is Elizabeth isn?t it?

Elizabeth : It?s Miss Swann .

Jack : Miss Swann , if you?d be so kind. Come, come,
dear, we don?t have all day. Now if you?d be very
kind. [she straps on his sword, puts on his hat, etc.]
Easy on the goods, darling.

Elizabeth : You?re despicable.

Jack : Sticks and stones, love. I saved your life, you
saved mine, we?re square. Gentlemen, m?lady, you will
always remember this as the day that you almost caught
Captain Jack Sparrow ! [pushes Elizabeth away and
escapes, swinging around and landing on a beam above
their heads]

Governor Swann : Now, will you shoot him?

Norrington: Open fire! [ Jack is shot at] On his
heels. [ Jack throws his chains about a rope and
slides down to the ground] Gillette , Mr. Sparrow has
a dawn appointment with the gallows?I would hate for
him to miss it.

Soldier: [the soldiers run around searching for Jack ]
Search upstairs. Look lively, men.

Scene 5: (The duel between Jack and Will )

Jack : [enters smithy, sees drunk and sleeping Mr.
Brown and pokes him to see if he?ll awaken] Whoa!
[tries to get rid of the irons with a hammer but it
doesn?t work; uses the red hot end of a metal rod to
spur the donkey; succeeds in breaking the link between
them by putting them on two turning wheels in the
machinery powered by the donkey; hides when Will
enters]

Will : [calms the donkey; sees Brown ] Right where I
left you. [sees hammer] Not where I left you. [notices
Jack ?s hat and reaches for it; enter Jack with sword
unsheathed] You're the one they're hunting. The
pirate.

Jack : You seem somewhat familiar. Have I threatened
you before?

Will : I make a point of avoiding familiarity with
pirates.

Jack : Ah. Well, then it would be a shame to put a
black mark on your record. So, if you'll excuse me ?
[turns away and is about to leave when Will gets his
own sword] Do you think this wise, boy, crossing
blades with a pirate?

Will : You threatened Miss Swann .

Jack : Only a little. [they parry] You know what
you?re doing, I?ll give you that. Excellent form but
how?s your footwork? If I step here; [he steps] very
good. Now I step again. Ta. [sheathes sword and walks
to the door; Will throws sword which gets stuck in the
door, barring the exit; Jack tries to pull it out but
is unsuccessful] That is a wonderful trick except once
again you are between me and my way out. And now you
have no weapon. [ Will takes out a sword with a heated
tip; they fight] Who makes all these? [looks pointedly
at swords]

Will : I do! And I practice with them three hours a
day!

Jack : You need to find yourself a girl, mate! Or,
perhaps the reason you practice three hours a day is
that you already found one and are otherwise incapable
of wooing said strumpet. You're not a eunuch, are you?
[looks down]

Will : I practice three hours a day, so that when I
meet a pirate, I can kill it! [they continue their
swordfight jumping onto a cart that sways under them;
Will hooks a knife in the irons hanging from Jack?s
left wrist and throws it up so it is embedded in the
beam above, in return Jack hits a loose board which
throws Will off the cart; Jack uses his body weight to
get the knife out of the wood and falls back on the
cart just as Will climbed back on; Will is thrown up
into the rafters and cuts free a heavy sack which
vaults Jack up into the rafters as well; they fight,
jumping from beam to beam; Jack loses his weapon and
blinds Will with sand; takes out his pistol while Will
protects his eyes] You cheated!

Jack : Pirate! [hears men trying to break the door
down] Move away.

Will: No.

Jack : Please, move.

Will: No! I cannot just step aside and let you escape.

Jack : This shot is not meant for you. [gets hit on
the head with a bottle of alcohol and falls
unconscious]

Norrington: [his men break in the door] Excellent
work, Mr. Brown . You?ve assisted in the capture of a
dangerous fugitive.

Mr. Brown : Just doing my civic duty, sir.

Norrington: Well, I trust you?ll always remember this
as the day that Captain Jack Sparrow almost escaped.
Take him away.

Scene 6: (Talk of the right match and Port Royal under
attack!)

Prisoners: [whistling and waving a bone to a dog that
has the keys to the prison in its jaws] Come here,
boy. Want a nice juicy bone? Come here. Come on

Jack : You can keep doing that forever, the dog is
never going to move.

Prisoner: Oh, excuse us if we haven't resigned
ourselves to the gallows just yet.

[in the Governor?s house; Elizabeth ?s room] Estrella:
There you go, Miss. [puts a bed warmer between the
sheets] It was a difficult day for you, I?m sure.

Elizabeth : I suspected Commodore Norrington would
propose but I must admit I wasn?t entirely prepared
for it.

Estrella: Well, I meant you being threatened by that
pirate, sounds terrifying.

Elizabeth : Oh, yes, it was terrifying.

Estrella: But the Commodore proposed. Fancy that,
that?s a smart match, Miss, if it?s not too bold to
say.

Elizabeth : It is a smart match. He?s a fine man; he?s
what any woman should dream of marrying.

Estrella: Well, that Will Turner , he?s a fine man,
too.

Elizabeth : That is too bold.

Estrella: Well, begging your pardon, Miss, it was not
my place. [leaves]

[meanwhile Will is hammering a new sword, he looks out
unto the deserted street]

[on top of the Fort] Governor Swann : Has my daughter
given you an answer yet?

Norrington: No, she hasn?t.

Governor Swann : Well, she has had a very trying day.
Ghastly weather, don?t you think?

Norrington: Bleak, very bleak.

Governor Swann : What?s that?

Norrington: Cannon fire! [tackles the Governor] Return
fire!

[in the jail] Jack : I know those guns. [looks out of
his little window] It?s the Pearl .

Prisoner: Black Pearl ? I?ve heard stories. She?s been
preying on ships and settlements for near ten years.
Never leaves any survivors.

Jack : No survivors? Then where do the stories come
from, I wonder?

[the Black Pearl?s guns are destroying the
battlements, the pirates are now coming ashore in
boats; Will takes up a sword, a hatchet, and a knife
to fight the invading pirates; on the battlements]
Norrington: Governor, barricade yourself in my office.
That?s an order!

[Saves a maid by killing a pirate with his hatchet]

[the Governor?s house; pirates are running through the
gates an knocking on the door] Elizabeth : [to butler]
Don?t! [the butler opens the door]

Pintel: Hello, chump. [shoots butler and the pirates
swarm into the house] Up there! [points at Elizabeth ]

Pirate: Girl! [ Elizabeth runs upstairs]

Estrella: [they lock the chamber door] Miss Swann ,
they?ve come to kidnap you.

Elizabeth : What?

Estrella: You?re the Governor?s daughter.

Elizabeth : They haven?t seen you. Hide and the first
chance you get, run to the fort. [distracts Ragetti
and Pintel as the maid runs out, hits Pintel in the
face with the bed warmer]

Ragetti: Gotcha! [catches Elizabeth and she releases
ashes onto his head] It?s hot! It?s on me!

Pintel: [to Ragetti] Come on! [Estrella escapes;
Elizabeth is cornered on the stairs and while pirates
are distracted by one of their own being taken out by
a cannon she runs away; Pintel and Ragetti are stopped
by a falling chandelier and Elizabeth locks the door
and then tries to get a sword out but is unable;
Pintel and Ragetti break the door] We know you?re
here, Poppet.

Ragetti: Poppet.

Pintel: Come out and we promise we won?t hurt you.
[Ragetti looks at Pintel questioningly who only
smiles] We will find you, Poppet. You?ve got something
of ours and it calls to us. The gold calls to us.

Ragetti: Gold calls?

Pintel: [opens door of the closet] ?Ello, Poppet.

Elizabeth : Parley!

Ragetti: What?

Elizabeth : Parley. I invoke the right of parley.
According to the code of the brethren, set down by the
pirates Morgan and Bartholomew , you have to take me
to your Captain.

Pintel: I know the code.

Elizabeth : If an adversary demands parley you can do
them no harm until the parley is complete.

Ragetti: To blazes with the code.

Pintel: She wants to be taken to the Captain. And
she?ll go without a fuss. We must honor the code.

[ Port Royal street ; Will is fighting with Grapple]
Grapple: [to Will , holding him defenseless] Say
goodbye! [signs falls on him]

Will: Goodbye.

Pintel: [to Elizabeth , leading her to the Black Pearl
] Come on!

Elizabeth : Will.

Will : [spots them] Elizabeth . [sees the same pirate
he killed with his hatchet and is confused]

Pirate: Outta my way, scum. [knocks Will on the head,
he faints]

Scene 7: (No luck and on board the Black Pearl )

[in jail] Prisoner: [a hole is blown in a cell, to
Jack ] My sympathies friend, you?ve no manner of luck
at all.

Jack: [picks up the bone and whistles] Come on, doggy.
It?s just you and me now. It?s you and ol? Jack , come
on. Come on, good boy. That?s it, good boy, come on!
Bit closer, bit closer. That?s it, that?s it, doggy.
Come on you filthy, slimy, mangy cad. [there?s a crash
downstairs and the dog runs away] No, no, no, no, no,
I didn?t mean it. I didn?t... [a crash as the prison
guard is thrown down the stairs]

Twigg: [looks a round] This ain?t the armory.

Koehler: Well, well, well, look what we have here
Twigg ? Captain Jack Sparrow .

Twigg: [spits] Last time I saw you, you were all alone
on a godforsaken island, shrinking into the distance.
His fortunes aren?t improved much.

Jack : Worry about your own fortunes, gentlemen. The
deepest circle of Hell is reserved for betrayers and
mutineers. [Koehler grabs Jack ?s throat; Jack sees
skeletal arm] So there is a curse. That?s interesting.

Koehler: You know nothing of Hell. [they leave]

Jack : That?s very interesting.

[ Elizabeth is rowed across with the pirates; on board
the Black Pearl ] Bo?sun : I didn?t know we were
takin? on captives.

Pintel: She?s invoked the right of parley with Captain
Barbossa .

Elizabeth : I am here to negotiate ? [is backhanded by
Bo?sun ]

Bo?sun : You will speak when spoken to.

Barbossa: [grabs Bo?sun ?s wrist] And ye?ll not lay a
hand on those under the protection of parley.

Bo?sun : Aye, sir.

Barbossa: My apologies, Miss?

Elizabeth : Captain Barbossa , I am here to negotiate
the cessation of hostilities against Port Royal .

Barbossa: There are a lot of long words in there,
Miss; we?re naught but humble pirates. What is it that
you want?

Elizabeth : I want you to leave and never come back.

Barbossa: I?m disinclined to acquiesce to your
request?means no.

Elizabeth : Very well. I?ll drop it. [dangles
medallion over the sea]

Barbossa: Me holds are burstin' with swag and that bit
of shine matters to us? Why?

Elizabeth : It?s what you?ve been searching for. I
recognized the ship. I saw it eight years ago on the
crossing from England .

Barbossa: Did ya now?

Elizabeth : Fine, well, I suppose if it is worthless
then there?s no point in me keeping it. [it drops a
bit, the pirates lunge forward]

Barbossa: Ah. [chuckles] You have a name, Missy?

Elizabeth : Elizabeth ?Turner. I?m a maid in the
Governor?s household. [she curtsies]

Barbossa: Miss Turner ??

Pintel: Bootstrap.

Barbossa: And how does a maid come to own a trinket
such as that. Family heirloom, perhaps?

Elizabeth : I didn?t steal it if that?s what you mean.

Barbossa: Very well, you hand it over and we?ll put
your town to our rudder and never return.

Elizabeth : [she hands it over] Our bargain? [Barbossa
walks away from her]

Bo?sun : Still the guns and stow ?em, Signal the men,
set the flags and make good to clear port.

Elizabeth : Wait! You have to take me to shore.
According to the code of the order of the brethren -

Barbossa: First, your return to shore was not part of
our negotiations nor our agreement so I must do
nothing. And secondly, you must be a pirate for the
pirate?s code to apply and you?re not. And thirdly,
the code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than
actual rules. Welcome aboard the Black Pearl , Miss
Turner .

Scene 8: (To save Elizabeth and Jack ?s rescue)

Will : [awakes on the street in the morning; to
Norrington] They?ve taken her. They?ve taken Elizabeth
.

Norrington: Mr. Murtogg , remove this man.

Will : We have to hunt them down, we must save her.

Governor Swann : And where do you propose we start? If
you have any information concerning my daughter,
please, share it.

Murtogg: That Jack Sparrow . He talked about the Black
Pearl.

Mullroy: Mentioned it, is more what he did.

Will : Ask him where it is. Make a deal with him he
could lead us to it.

Norrington: No?the pirates who invaded this Fort left
Sparrow locked in his cell ergo they are not his
allies. Governor, we will establish their most likely
course?

Will : [buries hatchet in the table] That?s not good
enough!

Norrington: Mr. Turner , you are not a military man,
you are not a sailor. You are a blacksmith and this is
not the moment for rash actions. Do not make the
mistake of thinking you are the only man here who
cares for Elizabeth . [hands him back his hatchet]

[in jail] Jack : [trying to pick the lock with a bone]
Please... [hears footsteps, leaves the bone in the
lock and lies down]

Will: You, Sparrow!

Jack : Aye.

Will : You are familiar with that ship, the Black
Pearl?

Jack : I?ve heard of it.

Will : Where does it make berth?

Jack : Where does it make berth? Have you not heard
the stories? Captain Barbossa and his crew of
miscreants sailed from the dreaded Isla de Muerta .
It?s an island that cannot be found except by those
who already know where it is.

Will : The ship?s real enough. Therefore its anchorage
must be a real place. Where is it?

Jack : [studies his nails] Why ask me?

Will : Because you?re a pirate.

Jack : And you want to turn pirate yourself, is that
it?

Will : Never! They took Miss Swann .

Jack : Oh, so it is that you?ve found a girl. I see.
Well, if you?re intending to brave all, hasten to her
rescue and so win fair lady?s heart you?ll have to do
it alone, mate. I see no profit in it for me.

Will : I can get you out of here.

Jack : How?s that? The key?s run off.

Will : I helped build these cells. These are half
pin-barrel hinges. [picks up a bench and places it at
the bottom of the cell door] With the right leverage
and a proper application of strength, the door will
lift free.

Jack : What?s your name?

Will: Will Turner .

Jack : That will be short for William , I imagine.
Good, strong name. No doubt, named for your father,
aye?

Will: Yes.

Jack : Aha. Well, Mr. Turner , I?ve changed me mind.
If you spring me from this cell, I swear on pain of
death, I shall take you to the Black Pearl and your
bonny lass. Do we have an accord?

Will : [they shake hands] Agreed.

Jack : Agreed, get me out.

Will : [lifts the door free] Hurry, someone will have
heard that.

Jack : Not without my effects.

Scene 9: (Commandeering a ship)

Will : We?re going to steal a ship. That ship?
[glances at the Dauntless]

Jack : Commandeer. We?re going to commandeer that
ship. Nautical term. One question about your business
boy, or there?s no use going. This girl, how far are
you willing to go to save her?

Will : I?d die for her.

Jack : Oh, good. No worries, then.

Will : [under boat underwater with Jack in the lead]
This is either madness or brilliance.

Jack : It?s remarkable how often those two traits
coincide. [they board the Dauntless] Everyone stay
calm, we are taking over the ship.

Will : Aye, avast! [the men laugh]

Gillette : This ship cannot be crewed by two men.
You?ll never make it out of the bay.

Jack : [points his pistol at Gillette ?s nose] Son,
I?m Captain Jack Sparrow, savvy?

Navy officer: [notices Gillette and his men a small
boat] Commodore!

Gillette : [waving and screaming from the boat] Sir,
they?ve taken the Dauntless. They?ve taken the ship.
Sparrow and Turner, they?ve taken the Dauntless.

Norrington: [sees the two on board the ship through
his spy glass] Rash, Turner, too rash. He is without
doubt the worst pirate I have ever seen.

Will : [notices the Interceptor set sail] Here they
come.

Gillette : [to his crew about the boat] Bring her
around, bring her around!

Norrington: [he and his men board the Dauntless]
Search every cabin, every hold, down to the bilges. [
Jack and Will swing onto the Interceptor and sail
away; Norrington notices] Sailors, back to the
Interceptor! Now!

Sailor: Quickly men! [they try but are too late]

Jack : Thank you, Commodore, for getting us ready to
make way. We?d have a hard time of it by ourselves.

Norrington: Set top sails and clear up this mess.

Navy officer: With the wind a quarter astern, we won?t
catch them.

Norrington: We don?t need to catch them just get them
in range of the long nines.

Navy officer: Men, come about. Run out the guns. [to
Norrington] We open fire on our own ship, sir?

Norrington: I?d rather see her at the bottom of the
ocean than in the hands of a pirate.

Sailor: Commodore, he?s disabled the rudder chain,
sir!

Gillette : [the Interceptor bears down on his boat]
Abandon ship! [they jump off just in time as the boat
is broken up and sinks under the Interceptor]

Navy officer: That?s got to be the best pirate I?ve
ever seen.

Norrington: So it would seem.

Scene 10: (Revelations and Tortuga )

Will : [sharpening his sword] When I was a lad living
in England , my mother raised me by herself. After she
died, I came out here, looking for my father.

Jack : Is that so?

Will: My father, Will Turner . And in jail it was only
after you learned my name that you agreed to help.
Since that?s what I wanted, I didn?t press the matter.
I?m not a simpleton, Jack. You knew my father.

Jack : I knew ?im. Probably one the few who knew him
as William Turner , everyone else just called him
Bootstrap or Bootstrap Bill.

Will: Bootstrap?

Jack : Good man, good pirate. I swear you look just
like him.

Will : It?s not true, he was a merchant sailor; a
good, respectable man who obeyed the law

Jack : He was a bloody pirate, a scallywag.

Will : My father was not a pirate. [takes out his
sword]

Jack : Put it away, son. It?s not worth you getting
beat again.

Will : You didn?t beat me; you ignored the rules of
engagement. In a fair fight, I?d killed you.

Jack : And that?s no incentive for me to fight fair,
is it? [moves one of the sails so that the yard
catches Will and swings him out over the sea] Now as
long as you?re just hanging there, pay attention. The
only rules that really matter are these: what a man
can do and 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. And me, for example,
I can let you drown but I can?t bring this ship into
Tortuga all by me onesies, savvy? So? [swings him back
on board and offers him his sword] can you sail under
the command of a pirate or can you not?

Will : [takes the sword] Tortuga ?

Jack : Tortuga . [on the island] ... More importantly,
it is indeed a sad life that has never breathed deep
the sweet proliferous bouquet that is Tortuga , savvy?
What do you think?

Will : It'll linger.

Jack : I?ll tell you mate, if every town in the world
were like this one, no man would ever feel unwanted.

Jack : Scarlet! [she slaps him] Not sure I deserved
that. Giselle!

Giselle: Who was she?!

Jack : What? [she slaps him] I may have deserved that.

Scene 11: (A proposition)

Gibbs : [ Jack throws a bucket of water at him] Curse
you for breathing, you slack jawed idiot! Mother?s
love! Jack ! You should know better then to wake a man
when he?s sleeping. ?S bad luck.

Jack : Ah, fortunately I know how to counter it. The
man who did the waking buys, the man who was sleeping,
a drink. The man who was sleeping drinks it while
listening to a proposition from the man who did the
waking.

Gibbs : Aye, that'll about do it. [ Will throws
another bucket of water at him] Blast! I?m already
awake!

Will : That was for the smell.

Jack : [they enter a tavern; to Will ] Keep a sharp
eye. [sits at a table with Gibbs ]

Gibbs : Now, what?s the nature of this venture your?n?

Jack : I?m going after the Black Pearl. [ Gibbs almost
chokes on his drink] I know where it?s going to be and
I?m going to take it.

Gibbs : Jack , it?s a fool?s errand. Well, you know
better than me the tales of the Black Pearl.

Jack : That?s why I know what Barbossa is up to? all I
need is a crew.

Gibbs : From what I hear tell of Captain Barbossa ,
he?s not a man to suffer fools nor strike a bargain
with one.

Jack : Well, then I say it?s a very good thing I?m not
a fool then, aye?

Gibbs : Prove me wrong. What makes ye think Barbossa
will give up his ship to you?

Jack : Let?s just say it?s a matter of leverage, aye?
[nods at Will ]

Gibbs : The kid?

Jack : That is the child of Bootstrap Bill Turner. His
only child, savvy?

Gibbs : 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.

Jack : One can only hope. Take what you can? [toasts
Gibbs ]

Gibbs : [they clink their tankards] ?Give nothing
back. [drain their drinks]

Scene 12: (The origin of the curse)

Pintel: You'll be dinin' with the captain. And he
requests you wear this. [gives her a dress]

Elizabeth : Well, you may tell the captain that I am
disinclined to acquiesce to his request.

Pintel: He said you?d say that. He also said if that
be the case you'll be dinin' with the crew?and you'll
be naked. [she snatches the dress] Fine.

[in the Captain?s cabin, the food is laid out]
Barbossa: [ Elizabeth eats daintily] There?s no need
to stand on ceremony, nor call to impress anyone. You
must be hungry. [gives her a goblet with wine] Try the
wine. And the apples? [offers her one] One of those
next.

Elizabeth : It?s poisoned.

Barbossa: There would be no sense to be killing ye
Miss Turner .

Elizabeth : Then release me, you have your trinket;
I?m of no further value to you.

Barbossa: [takes out the medallion] You don?t know
what this is, do ye?

Elizabeth : It?s a pirate medallion.

Barbossa: This is Aztec gold. One of 882 identical
pieces they delivered in a stone chest to Cortés
himself. Blood money paid to stem the slaughter he
wreaked upon them with his armies. But the greed of
Cortés was insatiable. So the heathen gods placed upon
the gold?a terrible curse. Any mortal that removes but
a piece from that stone chest shall be punished for
eternity.

Elizabeth : I hardly believe in ghost stories anymore,
Captain Barbossa .

Barbossa: Aye, that?s exactly what I thought when we
were first told the tale. Buried on an island that
cannot be found except for those who know where it is.
Find it, we did. There be the chest, inside be the
gold, we took them all. Spent them and traded them. We
frittered them away?on drink and food and pleasurable
company. The more we gave them away, the more we came
to realize ? the drink would not satisfy, food turned
to ash in our mouths, and all the pleasurable company
in the world could not slake our lust. We are cursed
men, Miss Turner . Compelled by greed we were, and now
we are consumed by it. [ Elizabeth takes a butter
knife and hides it] There is one way we can end our
curse. All the scattered pieces of the Aztec gold must
be restored and the blood repaid. Thanks to ye we have
the final piece.

Elizabeth : And the blood to be repaid?

Barbossa: That?s why there?s no sense to be killing
ye?yet. [offers her an apple] Apple? Arr. [she stabs
him with the knife; he takes it out] I?m curious,
after killing me what was it you planning on doing
next? [she runs out and sees the pirates, all decaying
skeletons] Look! The moonlight shows us for what we
really are. We are not among the living and so we
cannot die but neither are we dead. For too long I?ve
been parched with thirst and unable to quench it. Too
long I?ve been starving to death and haven?t died. I
feel nothing, not the wind on my face nor the spray of
the sea, nor the warmth of a woman?s flesh. [walks out
into the moonlight and reveals a skeleton] You best
start believing in ghost stories Miss Turner ; you?re
in one! [drinks and it pours over his ribs, laughs and
the crew laughs with him] What are ye looking at? Back
to work!

Scene 13: ( Jack ?s crew)

Gibbs : Feast your eyes, Captain. All of them,
faithful hands before the mast. Every man worth his
salt. And crazy to boot.

Will : So this is your able-bodied crew?

Jack : You, sailor!

Gibbs : Cotton, sir.

Jack : Mr. Cotton . Do you have the courage and
fortitude to follow orders and stay true in the face
of danger and almost certain death? Mr. Cotton !
Answer man!

Gibbs : He's a mute, sir. Poor devil had his tongue
cut out, so he trained the parrot to talk for him. No
one?s yet figured how...

Jack : Mr. Cotton 's... parrot. Same question.

Parrot: Wind in the sails! Wind in the sails!

Gibbs : Mostly, we figure, that means 'yes.'

Jack : O?course it does. [to Will ] Satisfied?

Will : Well, you?ve proved them mad.

Anamaria: And what?s the benefit for us?

Jack : [comes over to the voice and takes off the
sailors hat, revealing a woman] Anamaria. [she slaps
him]

Will : I suppose you didn?t deserve that one either.

Jack : No, that one I deserved.

Anamaria: You stole my boat!

Jack : Actually [she slaps him again] ? borrowed,
borrowed without permission. But with every intention
of bringing it back to you.

Anamaria: But you didn?t!

Jack : You?ll get another one.

Anamaria: [points her forefinger at him] I will.

Will: A better one.

Jack : A better one!

Will: That one. [points to the Interceptor]

Jack : What one? That one?! Aye! That one. What say
you?

Crew: Aye!

Gibbs : No, no, no, no, no, it?s frightful bad luck to
bring a woman aboard, sir.

Jack : It?d be far worse not to, however.

[a storm breaks upon them at sea] Will : How can we
sail to an island that nobody can find with a compass
that doesn?t work?

Gibbs : Aye, the compass doesn?t point north but we?re
not trying to find north, are we? [to Jack ] We should
drop canvas (?), sir.

Jack : She can hold a bit longer.

Gibbs : What?s in your head that?s put you in such a
fine mood, Captain?

Jack : We?re catching up.

Scene 14: ( Jack ?s past revealed)

[on the Pearl ] Pintel: Time to go, Poppet. [Barbossa
latches the medallion around Elizabeth ?s neck and the
all sail to the cave]

Parrot: [singing as they enter a lagoon] Dead men tell
no tales.

Gibbs : [the whole crew is looking at the wrecks
strewn everywhere in the water] Puts a chill in the
bones how many honest sailors have been claimed by
this passage.

Will : [watches as Jack closes the compass when Cotton
stares at him too much] How is it that Jack came by
that compass?

Gibbs : Not a lot known about Jack Sparrow before 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.

Will: What? He failed to mention that.

Gibbs : Well, he plays things close to the vest now.
And a hard learned lesson it was. See three days out
on the venture the first mate comes to him and says
everything?s an equal share as should be 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.

Will : Ah. So that's the reason for the? [acts like
Jack ]

Gibbs : Reason's got nothing to do with it. Now Will ,
when a man is marooned he is a given a pistol with a
single shot. Well it won't do much good hunting or to
be rescued. But after three weeks of starvin? belly
and thirst (?) that pistol starts to look real
friendly. But Jack made it off the island and he still
has that one shot. Oh, but he won't use it though,
save for one man. His mutinous first mate.

Will: Barbossa.

Gibbs : Aye.

Will : How did Jack get off the island?

Gibbs : Well, I?ll tell you. He waded out into the
shallows and there he waited three days and three
nights till all manner of sea creature came and
acclimated to his presence. And on the fourth morning
he roped himself a couple of sea turtles, harnessed
them together and made a raft.

Will : He roped a couple of sea turtles?

Gibbs : Aye, sea turtles.

Will : What did he use for rope?

Jack : [ Jack comes up] Human hair, from my back. Let
go of the anchor!

Crew: Let go of the anchor, sir!

Jack : Young Mr. Turner and I are to go ashore.

Gibbs : Captain! What if the worst should happen?

Jack : Keep to the code.

Gibbs : Aye, the code.

Scene 15: (The blood ritual and Jack ?s not dead)

Pintel: Ten years of hoarding swag.

Ragetti: And now we?re finally getting to spend it.
[they empty a trunk and it turns out to be full of
ladies? clothes; they both pick up parasols]

Pintel: Once we?re quit of the curse we?ll be rich
men. And you can buy an eye that actually fits and is
made of glass.

Ragetti: This one does splinter something terrible.
[rubs it]

Pintel: Stop rubbing it. [ Bo?sun walks by and rolls
his eyes at them]

[in the boat] Will : [sees a skull] What code is Gibbs
to keep to if the worst should happen?

Jack : Pirate?s code. Any man that falls behind is
left behind.

Will : No heroes amongst thieves, eh?

Jack : You know for having such a bleak outlook on
pirates you?re well on your way to becoming one.
Sprung a man from jail, commandeered a ship of the
Fleet, sailed with a buccaneer crew out of Tortuga
[they both look at the gold on the bottom of the
little river] ?and you?re completely obsessed with
treasure.

Will : That?s not true. I?m not obsessed with
treasure.

Jack : [looks in on the gathering] Not all treasure is
silver and gold, mate.

Barbossa: Gentlemen, the time has come! Salvation is
nigh! Our torment is near at end.

Will: Elizabeth .

Barbossa: For ten years we?ve been tested and tried
and each man-jack of you (?) here has proved his
mettle a hundred times over and a hundred times again!
[the men cheer]

Ragetti: Suffered I have.

Barbossa: Punished we were. The lot of us -
disproportionate to our crime. Here it is [throws off
the chest?s lid] ?the cursed treasure of Cortés
himself. Every last piece that went astray we have
returned?save for this. [points to the medallion on
Elizabeth ?s neck]

Will : [scrambles up, upsetting some of the treasure]
Jack !

Jack : [pulls him down] Not yet. We wait for the
opportune moment.

Will : When?s that? When it?s of greatest profit to
you?

Jack : May I ask you something? Have I ever given you
reason not to trust me? Do us a favor, I know it?s
difficult for you but please stay here? and try not to
do anything stupid.

Barbossa: And who among us has paid the blood
sacrifice owed to the heathen gods?

Pirates: Us!

Barbossa: And whose blood must yet to be paid?

Pirates: Hers!

Barbossa: You know the first thing I?m goin? to do
after the curse is lifted?eat a whole bushel of
apples. [takes up the knife] Begun by blood, by blood
undone.

Will : [hits Jack with oar] Sorry, Jack , I?m not
going to be your leverage.

Elizabeth : [her palm is cut] That?s it?

Barbossa: Waste not. [drops the medallion; there is an
anticipation to see if it worked]

Koehler: Did it work?

Ragetti: I don?t feel no different.

Pintel: How do we tell? [Barbossa shoots him]

Koehler: You?re not dead.

Pintel: No. He shot me!

Twigg: It didn?t work. The curse it still upon us!

Barbossa: You, maid! Your father, what was his name?
Was your father William Turner ?

Elizabeth : No.

Barbossa: Where?s his child? The child that sailed
from England eight years ago, the child in whose veins
flows the blood of William Turner . Where? [backhands
her]

Bo?sun : You two. You brought us the wrong person!

Pintel: No! She had the medallion, she?s the proper
age.

Ragetti: She said her name was Turner, you heard her!
[ Will motions for Elizabeth to follow him into the
water; she takes the medallion with her] Stupid
blighter.

Twigg: You brought us here for nothing.

Barbossa: I won?t take questions and no second
guesses, not from the likes of you, Master Twigg .

Koehler: Who?s to blame? Every decision you?ve made
has led us from bad to worse.

Pirate: It was you who sent Bootstrap to the depths!

Bo?sun : And it?s you who brought us here in the first
place.

Barbossa: Any coward here dare challenge me, let him
speak! Hmm?

Koehler: I say, we cut her throat and spill all her
blood, just in case.

Barbossa: [sees the monkey pointing] The medallion!
She?s taken it! Well, after her! You pack of ingrates.

Bo?sun : The oars have gone missing. Find them!

Pintel: [spots Jack ] You. You?re supposed to be dead!

Jack : Am I not? [looks down on himself] Hmm. [finds
pistols pointed at him] Puhluley, puhlulehvoos,
parleli, parsmi, pasley, parle, parle?

Ragetti: Parley?

Jack : Parley! That?s the one. Parley! Parley!

Pintel: Parley? Down to the depths whatever muttonhead
thought up parley.

Jack : That would be the French.

Scene 16: (Keeping to the code, revealing the
medallion, and talk of negotiation)

Elizabeth : [boards the Interceptor] Not more pirates.

Gibbs : Welcome aboard, Miss Elizabeth .

Elizabeth : Mr. Gibbs ?

Gibbs : [Will climbs aboard] Hey, boy! Where be Jack ?

Elizabeth : Jack ? Jack Sparrow ?

Will : He fell behind. [leads Elizabeth away]

Gibbs : Keep to the code.

Anamaria: Weigh anchor! Hoist the sails! Make
quickly?(?)

[in the cave] Barbossa: How the blazes did you get off
that island?

Jack : When you marooned me on that godforsaken spit
of land, you forgot one very important thing, mate?I?m
Captain Jack Sparrow.

Barbossa: Ah, well, I won?t be making that mistake
again. Gents, you all remember Captain Jack Sparrow ?
Kill him. [the pirates all point their weapons at Jack
]

Jack : The girl?s blood didn?t work, did it?

Barbossa: Hold your fire! [the pirates reluctantly
lower their weapons] You know whose blood we need?

Jack : I know whose blood ye need.

[in the cabin of the Interceptor] Elizabeth : [trying
to bandage her palm] What sort of a man trades a man?s
life for a ship?

Will: Pirate. Here, let me. [puts on bandages]

Elizabeth : Thank you.

Will : You said you gave Barbossa my name as yours.
Why?

Elizabeth : I don?t know. [she winces and pulls away]

Will : I?m sorry. Blacksmith?s hands, I know they?re
rough.

Elizabeth : No?I mean yes, they are but? but don?t
stop.

Will: Elizabeth ?

Elizabeth : [takes out medallion] It?s yours.

Will: I thought I?d lost it the day they rescued me.
It was a gift from my father, he sent it to me. Why
did you take it?

Elizabeth : Because I was afraid that you were a
pirate. That would?ve been awful.

Will : It wasn?t your blood they needed?it was my
father?s blood?my blood?the blood of a pirate.

Elizabeth : I?m so sorry, please forgive me. [ Will
slams down the medallion on the table and she leaves]

[in the Captains cabin of the Black Pearl ] Barbossa:
So you expect to leave me standing on some beach with
nothing but a name and your word it?s the one I need
and watch you sail away on my ship?

Jack : No. I expect to leave you standing on some
beach with absolutely no name at all, watching me sail
away on my ship and then I?ll shout the name back to
you. Savvy?

Barbossa: But that still leaves us with the problem of
me standing on some beach with naught but a name and
your word it?s the one I need.

Jack : Of the two of us I am the only one who hasn't
committed mutiny, therefore my word is the one we'll
be trusting. Although, I suppose I should be thanking
you because in fact, if you hadn?t betrayed me and
left me to die, I would have an equal share in that
curse same as you. [bites into an apple] Funny ol'
world, innit? [offers him an apple]

Bo?sun : [enters] Captain, we?re coming up on the
Interceptor. [Barbossa goes topside]

Jack : [runs out after Barbossa and stands in front of
him at the bow, blocking the view of the Interceptor]
I?m having 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, aye?
What say you to that?

Barbossa: Now you see, Jack , that?s exactly the
attitude that lost you the Pearl . People are easy to
search when they?re dead. [to Bo?sun ] Lock him in the
brig. [throws away Jack ?s apple]

Scene 17: (The chase and the fight)

Gibbs : Hands aloft to loose t'gallants. With this
wind she'll carry every sail we've got.

Elizabeth : [the crew is running around] What?s
happening?

Anamaria: The Black Pearl, she?s gaining on us. [looks
out at the Pearl ]

Elizabeth : This is the fastest ship in the Caribbean
.

Anamaria: You can tell them that after they?ve caught
us.

Elizabeth : We?re shallow on the draft, right?

Anamaria: Aye.

Elizabeth : Well, then can't we lose them amongst
those shoals?

Gibbs : We don?t have to outrun them long, just long
enough.

Anamaria: Lighten the ship, stem to stern.

Gibbs : Anything that we can afford to lose?see that
it?s lost.

[on the Black Pearl ] Jack : [is locked in the brig by
Bo?sun ; he sloshes in the water] Apparently there?s a
leak.

Barbossa: Haul on the main brace. Make ready the guns.
And run out the sweeps. [the Jolly Roger is hoisted
up]

[on the Interceptor, barrels are tossed over the side]
Will : [looks out at the Black Pearl and sees the
oars; stops a cannon from being thrown off] We?re
gonna need that.

Anamaria: [sees the oars] It was a good plan up ?till
now.

Will: Gibbs ! We have to make a stand. We must fight!
Load the guns!

Anamaria: With what?

Will: Anything. Everything! Anything we have left.

Gibbs : Load the guns! Take shot and langrage. Nails
and crushed glass! With a will! [they stuff cutlery
and other assorted items into the cannons including
Gibbs ? canteen] The Pearl is going to luff up on our
port quarter. She?ll rake us without ever presenting a
target.

Elizabeth : Lower the anchor on the right side. On the
starboard side!

Will : It certainly has the element of surprise.

Anamaria: You?re daft, lady! You both are!

Gibbs : Daft like Jack ! Lower the starboard anchor!
Do it ye dogs or it?s you we?ll load into the cannons!
[the anchor is lowered]

Elizabeth : [to Anamaria] Let go. [she lets go of the
wheel and the ship swings about]

Barbossa: They're clubhaulin'! Hard aport. Rack the
starboard oars.

Bo?sun : Hard aport! [the two ships come up side by
side]

Will : Keep us steady now. Now!

Barbossa: Fire!

Elizabeth : Fire! [the ships exchange cannon fire]

Jack : [a whole is blown in the hull] Stop blowing
holes in my ship! [notices that the shot from the
cannon destroyed the lock on the cell door]

Gibbs : We could use a few more ideas, lass.

Elizabeth : Your turn.

Gibbs : We need us a devil?s dowry.

Anamaria: We?ll give them her. [points her pistol at
Elizabeth ]

Will : She?s not what they?re after.

Elizabeth : [notices that it?s not at her throat] The
medallion. [ Will goes to search for it below]

Barbossa: Strike yer colors ya bloomin? cockroaches.
Hands! Grapples, at the ready. Prepare to board!
[Ragetti and Pintel fire a shot that severs the mast
and it falls over; grapple hooks are thrown as pirates
board the Interceptor] ? (?) Koehler and Twigg go to
the powder magazine. And the rest of you bring me the
medallion! [pirates board the Interceptor]

Will : [is trapped when the mast falls] Hey! Hey!
Below!

Jack : [takes a rope from a pirate] Thanks very much.
[swings onto the Interceptor]

Gibbs : Jack !

Jack : [hands him canteen] Bloody empty. [helps
Elizabeth ] That?s not very nice. Where?s the
medallion?

Elizabeth : Wretch! [is about to slap him]

Jack : [catches her wrist] Ah, where?s dear William ?

Elizabeth : Will ? [sees him under a grate] Will!

Will: Elizabeth !

Jack : [sees monkey with medallion] Monkey! [runs
after it]

Elizabeth : I can?t move it. [is dragged away] Will!

Will: Elizabeth !

Barbossa: [gets medallion from monkey] Why thank you,
Jack .

Jack : You?re welcome.

Barbossa: Not you. We named the monkey Jack . Gents,
our hope is restored! [the pirates ignite the powder
leading to the collection of powder kegs while Will
struggles to escape the cabin that is full of water]

Scene 18: (Misleading negotiations and walking the
plank)

Pintel: [to Jack ?s crew] If any of you as much as
thinks the word parley, I?ll have your guts for
garters.

Elizabeth : [the Interceptor is blown up] Will?
[attacks Barbossa] You?ve got to stop it! Stop it!

Barbossa: Welcome back, Miss. You took advantage of
our hospitality last time. It holds fair now that you
return the favor. [pushes her to the crew]

Will : [leaps up on deck] Barbossa!

Elizabeth : Will.

Will : She goes free. [points pistol at Barbossa]

Barbossa: What?s in your head, boy?

Will : She goes free!

Barbossa: You?ve only got one shot and we can?t die.

Jack : [to Will ] Don?t do anything stupid.

Will : You can?t?I can. [points gun at himself]

Jack : Like that.

Barbossa: Who are you?

Jack : [to Barbossa] No one. He?s no one. A distant
cousin of my aunt?s nephew twice removed. Lovely
singing voice, though. Eunuch.

Will : My name is Will Turner . My father was
Bootstrap Bill Turner. His blood runs in my veins.

Ragetti: He?s a spitting image of ol? Bootstrap Bill
come back to haunt us.

Will : On my word do as I say or I?ll pull this
trigger and be lost to Davy Jones? Locker.

Barbossa: Name your terms, Mr. Turner .

Will : Elizabeth goes free.

Barbossa: Yes, we know that one. Anything else?

Will : [sees Jack point at himself] And the crew, the
crew are not to be harmed.

Barbossa: Agreed.

Pirate: [to Elizabeth ] Go on! Walk the plank!

Will: Barbossa, you lying bastard! You swore she?d go
free!

Barbossa: Don?t dare impugn me honor, boy. I agreed
she?d go free it was you who failed to specify when or
where. [ Will ?s gagged] Though it does seem a shame
to lose something so fine, don?t it lads?

Pirates: Aye.

Barbossa: So I?ll be having that dress back before you
go.

Jack : [to pirate] I always liked you.

Elizabeth : It goes with your black heart. [throws him
the dress]

Barbossa: [presses it to his face] Ooh, it?s still
warm.

Pirate 2: Off you go! Come on!

Bo?sun : Too long! [shakes plank, Elizabeth falls in]

Jack : [is dragged up to the plank] I really had
rather hoped we were past all this.

Barbossa: Jack . Jack ! Did ya not notice? That be the
same little island that we made you Governor of on our
last little trip. [points out the distant island]

Jack : I did notice.

Barbossa: Perhaps you?ll be able to conjure up another
miraculous escape. But I doubt it. [unsheathes his
sword and brandishes it at Jack ?s throat] Off you go.

Jack : Last time you left me a pistol with one shot.

Barbossa: By the powers, you?re right. Were be Jack ?s
pistol? Bring it forward. [the pistol is brought]

Jack : Seeing as there?s two of us, a gentleman would
give us a pair of pistols.

Barbossa: It?ll be one pistol as before and you can be
the gentleman and shoot the lady and starve to death
yourself. [throws the pistol into the sea, Jack jumps
in after it and recovers it]

Scene 19: (Marooned again)

Jack : [looks back at the Pearl ; wades out onto the
beach shaking off the ropes that bound his wrists]
That?s the second time I?ve had to watch that man sail
away with my ship.

Elizabeth : [follows Jack as he walks] But you were
marooned on this island before, weren?t you? So we can
escape in the same way you did then.

Jack : To what point and purpose, young missy? The
Black Pearl is gone and unless you have a rudder and a
lot of sails hidden in that bodice, unlikely, young
Mr. Turner will be dead long before you can reach him.

Elizabeth : [follows him as he knocks on a tree trunk
then takes four steps and jumps up and down a few
times] But you?re Captain Jack Sparrow . You vanished
from under the eyes of seven agents of the East India
Company. You sacked Nassau Port without even firing a
shot. Are you the pirate I?ve read about or not? How
did you escape last time?

Jack : Last time?I was here a grand total of three
days, alright? Last time [opens a secret cellar door]
?the rumrunners used this island as a cache. Came by
and I was able to barter a passage off. From the looks
of things, they?ve long been out of business. Probably
have your bloody friend Norrington to thank for that.
[climbs out with two bottles of rum in his hands]

Elizabeth : So that?s it then? That?s the secret grand
adventure of the infamous Jack Sparrow ? You spent
three days lying on a beach, drinking rum?!

Jack : Welcome to the Caribbean , love. [hands her a
bottle]

Elizabeth and Jack : [singing and dancing around a
fire] We're devils and black sheep and really bad
eggs. Drink up me 'earties yo ho! Yo ho yo ho a
pirate's life for me.

Jack : I love this song! Really bad eggs! Woo. [falls]
When I get the Pearl back, I?m gonna teach it to the
whole crew and we?ll sing it all the time!

Elizabeth : And you?ll be positively the most fearsome
pirate in the Spanish Main .

Jack : Not just the Spanish Main , love, the entire
ocean, the entire wo?ld. Wherever we want to go, we?ll
go, that?s what a ship is, you know. It?s not just a
keel and a hull and a deck and sails that's what a
ship needs but what a ship is?what the Black Pearl
really is?is freedom.

Elizabeth : Jack , it must be really terrible for you
to be trapped on this island.

Jack : Oh, yes. [puts his arm around her shoulder] But
the company is infinitely better than last time, I
think. And the?the scenery has definitely improved.

Elizabeth : Mr. Sparrow , I?m not entirely sure that
I?ve had enough rum to allow that kind of talk.

Jack : I know exactly what you mean, love. [curls his
moustache]

Elizabeth : [toasts] To freedom.

Jack : To the Black Pearl . [drinks and loses
consciousness; wakes in the morning to the smell of
smoke; sees the island burning and runs to Elizabeth ]
No! Not good! Stop! Not good! What are you doing? You
burned all the food, the shade, the rum!

Elizabeth : Yes, the rum is gone.

Jack : Why is the rum gone?

Elizabeth : One, because it is a vile drink that turns
even the most respectable men into complete
scoundrels. Two, that signal is over a thousand feet
high. The entire Royal Navy is out looking for me, do
you really think that there is even the slightest
chance that they won?t see it?

Jack : But why is the rum gone?

Elizabeth : [she sits to stare at the horizon] Just
wait, Captain Sparrow. You give it one hour, maybe
two, keep a weather eye out and then you will see
white sails on that horizon.

Jack : [takes out pistol, thinks better of it and puts
it back, stalks off, imitates Elizabeth ] Must?ve been
terrible for you to be trapped here, Jack . Must?ve
been terrible for you? Well it bloody is now! [spots
the Dauntless] There?ll be no living with her after
this.

Scene 20: (A future wedding and Bootstrap?s
bootstraps)

Elizabeth : But we?ve got to save Will .

Governor Swann : No. You?re safe now. We will return
to Port Royal immediately not go gallivanting after
pirates!

Elizabeth : Then we condemn him to death.

Governor Swann : The boy?s fate is regrettable but
then so is his decision to engage in piracy.

Elizabeth : To rescue me, to prevent anything from
happening to me.

Jack : If I may be so bold as to interject my
professional opinion. The Pearl was listing near to
scuppers after the battle. It?s very unlikely she?ll
be able to make good time. Think about it, the Black
Pearl, the last real pirate threat in the Caribbean ,
mate. How can you pass that up?

Norrington: By remembering that I serve others, Mr.
Sparrow , not only myself.

Elizabeth : Commodore, I beg you, please do this. For
me?as a wedding gift.

Governor Swann : Elizabeth . Are you accepting the
Commodore?s proposal?

Elizabeth : I am.

Jack : A wedding! I love weddings?drinks all around!
[extends his arms] I know?clap him in irons, right?

Norrington: Mr. Sparrow , you will accompany these
fine men to the helm and provide us with the bearing
to Isla de Muerta . You will then spend the rest of
the voyage contemplating all possible meanings of the
phrase ?silent as the grave?. Do I make myself clear?

Jack : Inescapably clear.

[in the brig of the Black Pearl ; Pintel and Ragetti
are swabbing the floor] Parrot: Awwk, shiver me
timbers.

Gibbs : Cotton ?ere says you missed a bit.

Will : [to Pintel] You knew William Turner ?

Pintel: Ol? Bootstrap Bill ?we knew him. Never sat
well with Bootstrap what we did to Jack Sparrow , the
mutiny and all. He said it wasn?t right with the code,
that?s why he sent off a piece of the treasure to you
as it were. He said we deserved to be cursed? and
remain cursed.

Ragetti: Stupid blighter.

Gibbs : Good man.

Pintel: But as you can imagine that didn?t sit too
well with the Captain.

Ragetti: That didn?t sit too well with the Captain, at
all. Tell him what Barbossa did.

Pintel: I?m telling the story! So, what the Captain
did, he strapped a cannon to Bootstraps? bootstraps.

Ragetti: Bootstraps? bootstraps.

Pintel: The last we saw of ol? Bill Turner , he was
sinking to the crushing black oblivion of Davy Jones?
Locker. ?Course it was only after that we learned we
needed his blood to lift the curse.

Ragetti: That?s what you call ironic.

Barbossa: [comes down and throws the key to Will ?s
cell to Pintel] Bring him!

[in a boat with the rest of the soldiers and Jack ]
Norrington: I don?t care for the situation. Any
attempt to
