Beckett is sitting at his desk, petting Aunt Kyle. Mercer walks in.
Mercer: The boats are back.
Beckett: Do they have the chest?
Mercer: Um... no.
Beckett: You're fired.
Mercer: But they have something else, Lord Beckett, sir.
Beckett: Scones?
Mercer: Um... no, actually.
Beckett: You're fired again.
Mercer: They found a man floating around in the ocean. And he had these.
Mercer drops the Letters of Marque on Beckett's desk. Beckett picks up the letters and unfolds them. Norrington comes into the room.
Norrington: I filled in my name for you. I didn't think you could spell it.
Beckett: Of course I can spell "it". I-T.
Norrington: You're not particularly bright, are you?
Beckett: Do you have the compass?
Norrington: Not exactly...
Beckett: You're not very bright either, are you?
Norrington: I have something better.
Norrington plops a bag down on Beckett's desk. The heart is inside, thumping.
Beckett: OMIGOSH! EEW! IT'S MOVING!
Beckett flings the heart out the window. Norrington seriously questions his reasons for wanting to work for this man.
Mercer: Um. Lord Beckett, sir, don't you need that heart? Isn't it what you've been searching for?
Beckett: Oh. Right. You can go get it.
Mercer leaves to go retrieve the heart.
Norrington: So... do I get my job back?
Beckett: Not exactly. You'll get something even better.
Norrington: Oh great... Should I be worried...?
This chapter got its name because back in the day I was super mad that Norrington sort of betrayed Elizabeth like this, but I've since matured and forgiven him.
