Ah ha, I bet you're wondering at this point. In the movie, aren't scenes with Jack linked in BEFORE Elizabeth goes foolishly running after pirate ships? Well, yes, that's true, but I'm so not gonna keep randomly cutting back and forth, so we're doing that separately. Kay? Good.
Ahem.
But what was happening to Jack at this point? Well, he was in the prison, and a big cannonball blew through the wall.
All the other pirates climbed out of it, but Jack couldn't get out.
'My sympathies, friend. There's no manner of lock at all,' a random pirate said.
'There's a key right next to you, if you could just pass - '
'Terrible. Terrible. Poor friend. Very sorry. Must dash,' the pirate said, shaking his head.
'If you could just pass the key, that would be great - '
'Terrible. Terrible terrible terrible. Well goodbye,' the pirate said cheerfully, leaving.
Jack sat there, now extremely pissed off.
Suddenly there was a clatter coming down the stairs.
'Hey! This ain't the lingerie - I mean, the armoury,' one random pirate said.
'Well, well, well, Johnny Depp isn't it?' the other pirate said.
'Jack Sparrow,' Jack said angrily.
'Last time I saw you, you was all alone on a God-forsaken island, shrinking into the distance,' the first one said.
'And the last time I saw you, you was baking a cake,' his buddy chirped.
Jack looked confused. 'Did you hit your head falling down the stairs?' he asked.
'No,' the pirate said and began to do chicken impressions. 'His fortunes haven't improved much,' he said to his friend the First Pirate.
'Worry about your own fortunes, gentlemen. The deepest circle of Hell is inside the other circles,' Jack said in an evil voice.
'I see,' one of them pondered, idly punching Jack on the nose. As his hand came into the moonlight, the fingers became encrusted with rings, the sleeve became glittery, and the flesh a bright orange of rub-on fake tan.
'Eeeeeeeew,' Jack shuddered. 'Man, you really are cursed,'
'You know nothing of hell,' Piratedude said, dropping Jack (who then punched him back.)
Then the pirates went away, leaving Jack to keep saying 'Interesting. Interesting. Yes, very interesting indeed.'
OK...that was short, but the next scene is coming up so stay tuned. And yes, I know that this one isn't particularly funny...but prisons are meant to be depressing, get over it.
