Scene13- Jack Tells A Secret

(The scene starts out with Norrington, then Nathan, then Kiara going down the stairs to the jail. As soon as Jack sees them, he jumps up, Norrington goes right up beside the bars.)

Jack: What happened to my daughter!

Norrington: Mr. Sparrow, what are you talking about?

(Jack grabs his shirt violently, pulling him closer.)

Jack: The Governor told me that my daughter was killed earlier today! What happened to Kiara Sparrow?

(Kiara and Nathan are standing behind Norrington, looking extremely shocked.)

Norrington: I thought that Kiara was your sister.

Jack: She isn't. I lied every time she asked, saying that she was my sister, instead of my daughter.

Norrington: Well I'm glad to tell you that we've got someone here to see you.

(He turns around to find that Kiara's gone.)

Norrington: Nathan! Go up into the town and find her!

(Nathan runs off. Then Norrington heads down the back stairs, which lead out onto the beach. He finds Kiara sitting down on a log in the sand.)

Norrington: Kiara? Are you alright?

(Kiara turns her head, looking up at Norrington.)

Kiara: He always told me that he didn't know where our parents were. Every single day I would ask him.

(She stands up off the log.)

Kiara: I would go up to him and ask: Do you know where Mother and Father are?

(She jumps across from where she had been standing, being skitzo like.)

Kiara: Then he would say: (imitates a Jack voice) No, I do not. They have been gone for a long time. They shall never return.

(She jumps back to her original spot.)

Kiara: Then a few years later: Why aren't they ever coming back?

(Jumps to "Jack's" spot, imitates his voice.)

Kiara: I don't know Kiara.

(Jumps again.)

Kiara: Why don't you know?

(Jumps again to be Jack)

Kiara: (being Jack) Because I do not.

(Jumps.)

Kiara: You're a bum!

(Jumps.)

Kiara: (being Jack) I know you are but what am I.

(Jumps to be herself.)

Kiara: I said you are!

(Jumps.)

Kiara:(Imitates Jack.) I'm dishonest. Not a bum. You're the bum!

(She sits down on the log again. Norrington sits beside her.)

Kiara: It was always like that. He would never tell me the truth behind things. If he had told me in the beginning, none of this would ever had happened. I would never have come here.

Norrington: But then you wouldn't have gotten to meet Nathan, or find out that Jack is really your father.

Kiara: You're quite right.

Norrington: I think that Jack didn't tell you because he was afraid that you would have to lose him. Then you would feel like you were all alone in the world.

Kiara: True, yet again.

Norrington: You do know that he's going to be hung tomorrow right?

Kiara: Tomorrow? It's that soon?

Norrington: Yes, and I'm afraid that I can't stop it.

Kiara: Just because you can't stop it doesn't mean that I can't.

Norrington: If you stop it, Governor Swann will kill you. The first time that pirates come to Port Royal, they're under my charge. The second and on time that they come, the Governor has complete control.

Kiara: Saying that my life is at risk isn't going to stop me.

Norrington: I just don't want you to die, and I don't think Nathan would appreciate it either. Can you accept what I'm saying.

Kiara: Whether I can accept what you're saying or not is not the question to ask. The question to ask is; are you and Nathan able to be under the command of a pirate, or can you not? Because I can't get Jack free and save myself all by me onesies.

Norrington: There were a lot of pirate words in that, I'm the Commador of Port Royal.

Kiara: (sighs) The question is: are you and Nathan willing to help me get Jack free tomorrow, and save myself? Because I can't do alone. Do we have an accord?

Norrington: I'm all for it, and I'm sure Nathan is too.
