The Rules of Civilization
One Chance
"Father… You remember Jack, don't you?" Elizabeth smiled sweetly, even though her father was staring at her in pure horror.
"Why, yes dear, I remember Mr. Sparrow."
"Captain. Captain Sparrow." Jack added in for effect.
"Jack. Shut. Up." Elizabeth gritted her teeth.
"Sorry love."
"Uh... Elizabeth, may I speak to you in the next room?" Governor Swann asked
"Why, of course."
Elizabeth and her father walked away, Elizabeth throwing a dirty look at Jack only once.
"What..." Governor Swann asked when they reached the next room, "Are you THINKING!?"
"Father, please, try not to loose your temper. Jack really is a wonderful man, if only you'd give him a chance. Only one, that's all I ask."
"No, the man tried to kill you, more than once if I recall correctly. And-"
"Father please, be realistic. I put myself in those situations. It was as much my fault as if was Jack's."
" I. Don't. Care."
"You do know I can hear every word your saying, right?" Came Jack's rough voice from behind the large wooden doors.
