(A/N in this story Jack is 23 and he has a "sidekick" Rachel who is always with him)
[Jack stands on the mast of his boat, noticing that it's filling up with water he jumps down to bail it out; Jack and Rachel notice three pirate skeletons hanging with a sign "pirates ye be warned" and pay homage to them; they reach the port, Their boat sinking lower and lower until they are at the dock and are able to simply walk off the boat's mast]
Harbormaster: [to Jack ] What – hey. Hold up, there, you. It's a shilling to tie up your boat at the dock. [they both look at the sunken boat] And I shall need to know your names.
Jack : [hands him three shillings] What d'ye say to three shillings... and we forget the names?
Harbormaster: Welcome to Port Royal , Mr. and Mrs. Smith . [ Jack sees the Harbormasters money pouch and takes it]
[Norrington's promotion ceremony] Shouted orders to soldiers: Two paces march! Right about face! Present arms! [Norrington walks to get his promotion, unsheathes his new sword]
Murtogg: [spots Jack and Rachel ] 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 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.
Rachel : 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: 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 un-catchable...the Black Pearl.
Mullroy: Well...there's no real ship as 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 and Rachel slip 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 are your names?
Jack : Smith. Or Smithy, if you like. And this is life luvly wife
Mullroy: What's your purpose in Port Royal , Mr. And Mrs. Smith ?
Murtogg: Yeah. and no lies.
Jack: Well, then, I confess, it is are 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.
Rachel : 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? [Melanie and Norrington step onto the platform. Melanie walks over to steady herself as she fans herself hastily and tries to catch her breath] Uh, you look lovely, Melanie. [Melanie still fanning herself chuckles softly and half-heartedly] I, uh, apologize if I seem forward, but I... must speak my mind. This promotion throws into sharp relief that which I have not yet achieved. Uh... a marriage to a fine woman. You have become a fine woman, Melanie.
Melanie : I can't breathe.
Norrington: Yes, I... I'm a bit nervous myself. [she falls over battlement]
-------------------------------------------Meanwhile with Elizabeth and Gillete----------------------------
[on the other end of the battlement of the Fort] Gillete: May I have a moment? [Elizabeth and Gillete start walking.)
I have a question for you Elizabeth. [Melanie fanning herself chuckles softly and half-heartedly] I, uh, apologize if I seem forward, but I think it is time to tell you how I feel, I guess what I am trying to say is Elizabeth will you do me the great honor of becoming my wife (how ever before she could answer Melanie falls off the battlement and she runs to see if she's ok)
Elizabeth: Melanie! (Yells at the soldiers) Some one go save her!
-------------------------------------------------Back with Jack-
Jack : [in boat with guards] ...and then they made me their chief.
Norrington: Melanie? Melanie ! My God.[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] Pride 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 Melanie ] Ooh, I got her. She's not breathing!
Jack and Rachel: Move! [shoves him aside, cuts open corset and Melanie spits out water and gasps for breath]
Mullroy: Never would've thought of that.
Rachel : Clearly you've never been to Singapore .
Elizabeth: [runs of to melanie] Melanie are you ok?
Jack: [sees medallion, to Melanie] Where did you get that?
Norrington: [to Jack , pointing his sword at him] On your feet.
Gillete: [to Rachel, pointing his sword at her]
Governor Swann : [helps Melanie up] Melanie . Are you alright?
Melanie : Yes, I'm fine.
Governor Swann : [sees Murtogg holding Elizabeth 's corset; Murtogg points at Jack and Rachel ; Swann looks over at Jack ] Shoot them!
Elizabeth : Father! Commodore, do you really intend to kill her rescuers?
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]
Norrington:[ goes over to Rachel] And I'm guessing you're the famous Captain Rachel Sever who travels around with the infamous Jack Sparrow [lifts up her sleeve] It looks like I was right
Governor Swann: Hang her!
Melanie : Commodore, I really must protest.
Norrington: Carefully, Lieutenant.
Melanie : 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 and Rachel]
Jack : Finally. [throws his irons around Melanie 's neck while Rachel throws hers over Elizabeth's]
Governor Swann : No, don't shoot!
Jack : I knew you'd warm up to me. Commodore Norrington, my effects, please, and my hat. Commodore! Melanie. It is Melanie isn't it?
Rachel: Mine as well
Melanie : 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.
Melanie : You're despicable.
Jack : Sticks and stones, love. I saved your life, you save mine, we're square. [looks over to Rachel who nods her head] Gentlemen, m'ladies , you will always remember this as the day that you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow ! [Jack and Rachel push Melanie and Elizabeth away and escape, swinging around and landing on a beam above their heads]
Governor Swann : Now, will you shoot him?
Norrington: Open fire! [ Jack and Rachel are shot at] On their heels. [ Jack and Rachel throw their chains around a rope and slide down to the ground] Gillette , Mr. Sparrow and Miss Sever have a dawn appointment with the gallows. I would hate for them to miss it.
Soldier: [the soldiers run around searching for Jack ] Search upstairs. Look lively, men.
