Young Elizabeth:[standing at the bow of a ship and singing] …We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot. Drink up me 'earties yo ho! We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot. Drink up me 'earties yo ho! Yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me. We extort, we pilfer, we filch and sack. Drink up - Gibbs: Quiet, missy, cursed pirates sail these waters. You don’t want to bring them down on us now, do ya? Norrington: Mr. Gibbs that will do! Gibbs: She was singing about pirates. Bad luck to be singing about pirates with us mired in this unnatural fog. Mark my words. Norrington: Consider them marked. On your way. Gibbs: Aye, Lieutenant. It’s bad luck to have a woman on board, too, even a miniature one. Young Elizabeth: I think it’d be rather exciting to meet a pirate. Norrington: Think again, Miss Swann . Vile and dissolute creatures, the lot of them. I intend to see to that any man who sails under a pirate flag or wears a pirate brand gets what he deserves – a short drop and a sudden stop. [ Elizabeth glances at Gibbs who mimes a hanging] Governor Swann: Lieutenant Norrington , I appreciate your fervor. But I’m…I’m concerned about the effect this subject will have upon my daughter. Norrington: My apologies, Governor Swann .   Young Elizabeth:Actually, I find it all quite fascinating. Governor Swann: Yes, that’s what concerns me. Young Elizabeth:[sees a parasol and then a piece of wreckage with a boy on it in the water] Look, a boy! There’s a boy in the water! Gibbs: Man overboard! Norrington: Haul him aboard. [they get him on board] He’s still breathing. Gibbs: [spots burning ship] Mary , Mother of God! Governor Swann: What happened here? Norrington: It’s most likely the powder magazine. Merchant vessels run heavily armed. Gibbs: A lot of good it did them. Everyone’s thinking it; I’m just saying it – pirates! Governor Swann: There’s no proof of that. It was probably an accident. Norrington: Rouse the Captain immediately! Heave to and take in sail, lower the boats. Governor Swann: Elizabeth I want you to accompany the boy. He’ll be in your charge. Take care of him Young Elizabeth:[Will awakes] It’s ok. My name’s Elizabeth Swann . Young Will: W-W-Will Turner . Young Elizabeth:I’m watching over you, Will . [ Will faints, she notices medallion] You’re a p-pirate. [hides it when Norrington approaches] Norrington: Has he said anything? Young Elizabeth:His name is William Turner , that’s all I found out. Norrington: [to sailors] Take him below. [End dream] Scene 2: (A beautiful dress and an impressive sword) [ Elizabeth awakes and decides to take out the medallion from a hiding place in her bureau drawer] Governor Swann: Elizabeth ! Are you alright? Are you decent? Elizabeth: [hides medallion in the bodice of her nightgown, throws on a robe] Yes, yes! Governor Swann: Still abed at this hour? [opens the curtains] It’s a beautiful day. I have a gift for you. [reveals dress] Elizabeth: Oh, it’s beautiful! Governor Swann: Isn’t it? Elizabeth: May I inquire as to the occasion? Governor Swann: Does a father need an occasion to dote upon his daughter? [to the maids] Go on. Actually, I, uh…I had hoped you might wear it for the ceremony today. Elizabeth: The ceremony? Governor Swann: Captain Norrington ’s promotion ceremony. Elizabeth: I knew it! Governor Swann: Commodore Norrington he’s about to become! Fine gentleman, don’t you think. He fancies you. Elizabeth ? How’s it coming? Elizabeth: [the maids lace Elizabeth up into a corset] It’s difficult to say. Governor Swann: I’m told it’s the latest fashion in London Elizabeth: Well, women in London must’ve learned not to breathe. Servant: M’lord , you have a visitor. Governor Swann: [walks downstairs after the servant] Ah, Mr. Turner , good to see you again. Will: Good day, sir. I have your order. [opens case] The blade is folded steel, that’s gold filigree inlaid into the handle. If I may? [balances the sword] Perfectly balanced. The tang is nearly the full width of the blade. [flips the sword and presents it gracefully to the Governor] Governor Swann: [takes the sword] Impressive, very impressive. Ah, now, Commodore Norrington is going to be very pleased with this. Do pass my compliments on to your Master. Will: I shall. A craftsman is always pleased to hear his work is appreciated. Governor Swann: [enter Elizabeth ] Ah, Elizabeth , you look absolutely stunning. Elizabeth: Will! So good to see you. I had a dream about you last night. Will: About me? Governor Swann: Elizabeth , is that entirely proper for you to…? Elizabeth: About the day we met, do you remember? Will: How could I forget, Miss Swann ? Elizabeth: Will, how many times must I ask you to call me Elizabeth ? Will: At least once more, Miss Swann , as always. Governor Swann: There, see, at least the boy has a sense of propriety. Now, we really must be going. Farewell. Elizabeth: Good day, Mr. Turner . Governor Swann: Come along. Will: Good day… [ Elizabeth and the Governor exit, Will trailing after them, they leave in a carriage] Elizabeth . Scene 3: (A most excellent entrance, the debate, and the proposal) [Jack stands on the mast of his boat, noticing that it’s filling up with water he jumps down to bail it out; notices three pirate skeletons hanging with a sign “pirates ye be warned” and pays homage to them; reaches the port, his boat sinking lower and lower until he is at the dock and is able to simply walk off the boat’s mast] Harbormaster: [to Jack ] What? Hold up there, you. It’s a shilling to tie up your boat at the docks. [they both look at the sunken boat] And I shall need to know your name. Jack: [hands his three shillings] What d’ye say to three shillings and we forget the name Harbormaster: Welcome to Port Royal , Mr. Smith . [Norrington’s promotion ceremony] Shouted orders to soldiers: Two paces front! Right about turn! Present arms! [Norrington walks to get his promotion] Murtogg: [spots Jack ] 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 a 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. Jack: 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: Ah, the Dauntless is the power in these waters, true enough, but there’s no ship that 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 that 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 slips away while they banter] Mullroy: Oh, so 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 that 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 your name? Jack: Smith or…Smithy, if you like. Mullroy: What’s your purpose in Port Royal , Mr. Smith ? Murtogg: Yeah, and no lies. Jack: Well, then, I confess, it is my 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. Jack: 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? You look lovely, Elizabeth . I apologize if I seem forward but I… must speak my mind. This promotion throws into sharp relief that which I have not yet achieved – a marriage to a fine woman. You have become a fine woman, Elizabeth . Elizabeth: I can’t breath. Norrington: Yes, I’m a bit nervous myself. [she falls over battlement] Scene 4: (The daring rescue and escape) Jack: [in boat with guards] …and then they made me their chief. Norrington: Elizabeth ? Elizabeth ! [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: 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 Elizabeth ] I got her. Not breathing! Jack: Move! [shoves him aside, cuts open corset] Mullroy: Never would have thought of that. Jack: Clearly you’ve never been to Singapore . [sees medallion, to Elizabeth ] Where did you get that? Norrington: [to Jack , pointing his sword at him] On your feet. Governor Swann: Elizabeth . Are you alright? Elizabeth: Yes, I’m fine. Governor Swann: [Murtogg points at Jack ] Shoot him! Elizabeth: Father! Commodore, do you really intend to kill my rescuer? 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: 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] Elizabeth: Commodore, I really must protest. Norrington: Careful Lieutenant. Elizabeth: 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: Thought it seems enough to condemn him. Norrington: Indeed. [ Gillette moves away from Jack ] Jack: Finally. [throws his irons around Elizabeth ’s neck] Governor Swann: No, don’t shoot! Jack: I knew you’d warm up to me. Commodore Norrington, my effects, please, and my hat. Commodore! Elizabeth , isn’t it? Elizabeth: 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. Elizabeth: You’re despicable. Jack: Sticks and stones, love. I saved your life, you saved mine, we’re square. Gentlemen, m’lady, you will always remember this as the day that you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow ! [escapes] Governor Swann: Now, will you shoot him? [ Jack is shot at] Norrington: Open fire! On his heels. Gillette , Mr. Sparrow has a dawn appointment with the gallows I would hate for him to miss it. Soldier: Search upstairs. Look lively, men. Scene 5: (The duel between Jack and Will ) Jack: [enters smithy, sees drunk and sleeping Mr. Brown ] Whoa! [tries to get rid of the irons, succeeds in breaking the link between them] Will: [sees Brown ] Right where I left you. [sees hammer] Not where I left you. [enter Jack with sword unsheathed] You're the one they're hunting. The pirate. Jack: You seem somewhat familiar. Have I threatened you before? Will: I make a point of avoiding familiarity with pirates. Jack: Ah. Well, then it would be a shame to put a black mark on your record. So, if you'll excuse me – [is about to sheath his sword when Will gets his own out] Do you think this wise, boy, crossing blades with a pirate? Will: You threatened Miss. Swann. Jack: Only a little. [they parry] You know what you’re doing, I’ll give you that. Excellent form but how’s your footwork? If I step here; very good. Now I step again. Ta. [walks to the door; Will throws sword which gets stuck in the door, barring the exit] That is a wonderful trick except once again you are between me and my way out. And now you have no weapon. [ Will takes out a sword with a heated tip; they fight] Who makes all these? [points at swords] Will: I do! And I practice with them three hours a day! Jack: You need to find yourself a girl, mate! Or, perhaps the reason you practice three hours a day is that you already found one, and are otherwise incapable of wooing said strumpet. You're not a eunuch, are you? [looks down] Will: I practice three hours a day, so that when I meet a pirate, I can kill it! [ Jack loses his weapon and blinds Will with sand; takes out his pistol while Will protects his eyes] You cheated! Jack: Pirate! Move away. Will: No. Jack: Please, move. Will: No! I cannot just step aside and let you escape. Jack: This shot is not meant for you. [gets hit on the head with a bottle of alcohol, faints] Norrington: [his men break in the door] Excellent work, Mr. Brown . You’ve assisted in the capture of a dangerous fugitive. Mr. Brown : Just doing my civic duty, sir. Norrington: Well, I trust you’ll always remember this as the day that Captain Jack Sparrow almost escaped. Take him away. [ Jack is picked up] Scene 6: (Talk of the right match and Port Royal under attack!) Prisoners: [whistling and waving a bone to a dog that has the keys to the prison in its jaws] Come here, boy. Nice juicy bone. Come here. Come on Jack: You can keep doing that forever, the dog is never going to move. Prisoner: Oh, excuse us if we haven't resigned ourselves to the gallows just yet. [in the Governor’s house; Elisabeth ’s room] Maid: There you go, Miss. [puts a bed warmer between the sheets] It was a difficult day for you, I’m sure. Elizabeth: I suspected Commodore Norrington would propose but I must admit I wasn’t entirely prepared for it. Maid: Well, I meant you being threatened by that pirate, sounds terrifying. Elizabeth: Oh, yes, it was terrifying. Maid: But the Commodore proposed. Fancy that, that’s a smart match, if it’s not too bold to say. Elizabeth: It is a smart match. He’s a fine man; he’s what any woman should dream of marrying. Maid: Well, that Will Turner , he’s a fine man, too. Elizabeth: That is too bold. Maid: Well, begging your pardon, Miss, it was not my place. [leaves] [on top of the Fort] Governor Swann: Has my daughter given you an answer yet? Norrington: No, she hasn’t. Governor Swann: Well, she has had a very trying day. Ghastly weather, don’t you think? Norrington: Bleak, very bleak. Governor Swann: What’s that? Norrington: Cannon fire! [tackles the Governor] Return fire! [in the jail] Jack: I know those guns. It’s the Pearl . Prisoner: Black Pearl ? I’ve heard stories. She’s been preying on ships and settlements for near ten years. Never leaves any survivors. Jack: No survivors? Then where do the stories come from, I wonder? [on the battlements] Norrington: Governor, barricade yourself in my office. That’s an order! [the Governor’s house; pirates are running through the gates an knocking on the door] Elizabeth: [to butler] Don’t! [the butler opens the door] Pintel: Hello, chump. [shoots butler and the pirates swarm into the house] Pirate: Girl! [ Elizabeth runs upstairs] Maid: [they lock the chamber door] Miss Swann , they’ve come to kidnap you. Elizabeth: What? Maid: You’re the Governor’s daughter. Elizabeth: They haven’t seen you. Hide and as fast as you can run to the fort. [distracts Ragetti and Pintel as the maid runs out, hits Pintel in the face with the bed warmer] Ragetti: [ Elizabeth releases ashes onto his head] It’s hot! Pintel: [to Ragetti] Come on! We know you’re here, Poppet. Ragetti: Poppet. Pintel: Come out and we promise we won’t hurt you. We will find you, Poppet. You’ve got something of ours and it calls to us. The gold calls to us. [opens door of the closet] ‘Ello, Poppet. Elizabeth: parlez! Ragetti: What? Elizabeth: parlez. I invoke the right of parlez. According to the code of the brethren, set down by the pirates Morgan and Bartholomew , you have to take me to your Captain. Pintel: I know the code. Elizabeth: If an adversary demands parlez you can do them no harm until the parlez is complete. Ragetti: To blazes with the code. Pintel: She wants to be taken to the Captain. And she’ll go without a fuss. We must honor the code. [ Port Royal street ] Grapple: [to Will , holding him defenseless] Say goodbye! [signs falls on him] Will: Goodbye. Pintel: [to Elizabeth , leading her to the Black Pearl] Come on! Will: [spots them] Elizabeth . Pirate: Outta my way, scum. [knocks Will on the head, he faints] Scene 7: (No luck and on board the Black Pearl ) [in jail] Prisoner: [a hole is blown in a cell, to Jack ] My sympathies friend, you’ve no manner of luck at all. Jack: Come on, doggy. It’s just you and me now. It’s you and ol’ Jack , come on. Come on, good boy. That’s it, good boy, come on! Bit closer, bit closer. That’s it, that’s it, doggy. Come on you filthy, slimy, mangy cur. [there’s acrash downstairs and the dog runs away] No, no, no, no, no, I didn’t mean it. I didn’t... [a crash as the prison guard is thrown down the stairs] Twigg: [looks a round] This ain’t the armory. Pirate: Well, well, well, look what we have here Twigg – Captain Jack Sparrow . Twigg: Last time I saw you, you were all alone on a godforsaken island, shrinking into the distance. His fortunes aren’t improved much. Jack: Worry about your own fortunes, gentlemen. The deepest circle of Hell is reserved for betrayers and mutineers. [Pirate grabs Jack ’s throat; Jack sees skeletal arm] So there is a curse. That’s interesting. Pirate: You know nothing of Hell. [they leave] Jack: That’s very interesting. [on board the Black Pearl] Bo’sun : …We’re not taking no captives. Pintel: She’s invoked the right of parlez with Captain Barbossa . Elizabeth: I am here to negotiate – [is backhanded by Bo’sun ] Bo’sun : You will speak when spoken to. Barbossa: [grabs Bo’sun ’s wrist] And ye’ll not lay a hand on those under the protection of parlez. Bo’sun : Aye, sir. Barbossa: My apologies, Miss… Elizabeth: Captain Barbossa , I am here to negotiate the cessation of hostilities against Port Royal . Barbossa: There are a lot of long words in there, Miss, we’re naught but humble pirates. What is it that you want? Elizabeth: I want you to leave and never come back. Barbossa: I’m disinclined to acquiesce to your request…means no. Elizabeth: Very well. I’ll drop it. [dangles medallion over the sea] Barbossa: Me holds are burstin' with swag and that bit of shine matters to us? Why? Elizabeth: It’s what you’ve been searching for. I recognized the ship. I saw it eight years ago on the crossing from England . Barbossa: Did ya now? Elizabeth: Fine, well, I suppose if it is worthless then there’s no point in me keeping it. [it drops a bit, the pirates lunge forward] Barbossa: Ah. [chuckles] You have a name, Missy? Elizabeth: Elizabeth …Turner. I’m a maid in the Governor’s household. [she curtsies] Barbossa: Miss Turner …? Pintel: Bootstrap. Barbossa: And how does a maid come to own a trinket such as that. Family heirloom, perhaps? Elizabeth: I didn’t steal it if that’s what you mean. Barbossa: Very well, you hand it over and we’ll put your town to our rudder and never return. Elizabeth: [she hands it over] Our bargain? Bo’sun : Still the guns and stow ‘em, (?)…the men, … Elizabeth: Wait! You have to take me to shore. According to the code of the order of the brethren - Barbossa: First, your return to shore was not part of our negotiations nor our agreement so I must do nothing. And secondly, you must be a pirate for the pirate’s code to apply and you’re not. And thirdly, the code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules. Welcome aboard the Black Pearl , Miss Turner . Scene 8: (To save Elizabeth and Jack ’s rescue) Will: [awakes on the street in the morning; to Norrington] They’ve taken her. They’ve taken Elizabeth . Norrington: Mr. Murtogg , remove this man. Will: We have to hunt them down, we must save her. Governor Swann: And where do you propose we start? If you have any information concerning my daughter, please, share it. Murtogg: That Jack Sparrow . He talked about the Black Pearl. Mullroy: Mentioned it, is more what he did. Will: Ask him where it is. Make a deal with him he could lead us to it. Norrington: No…the pirates who invaded this Fort left Sparrow locked in his cell ergo they are not his allies. Governor, we will establish their most likely course… Will: [buries hatchet in the table] That’s not good enough! Norrington: Mr. Turner , you are not a military man, you are not a sailor. You are a blacksmith and this is not the moment for rash actions. Do not make the mistake of thinking you are the only man here who cares for Elizabeth . [in jail] Jack: [trying to pick the lock with a bone] Please.... [hears footsteps, drops the bone and lies down] Will: You, Sparrow! Jack: Aye. Will: You are familiar with that ship, the Black Pearl? Jack: I’ve heard of it. Will: Where does it make berth? Jack: Where does it make berth? Have you not heard the stories? Captain Barbossa and his crew of miscreants sailed from the dreaded Isla de Muerta . It’s an island that cannot be found except by those who already know where it is. Will: The ship’s real enough. Therefore its anchorage must be a real place. Where is it? Jack: Why ask me? Will: Because you’re a pirate. Jack: And you want to turn pirate yourself, is that it? Will: Never! They took Miss Swann . Jack: Oh, so it is that you’ve found a girl. I see. Well, if you’re intending to brave all, hasten to her rescue and so win fair lady’s heart you’ll have to do it alone, mate. I see no profit in it for me. Will: I can get you out of here. Jack: How’s that? The key’s run off. Will: I helped build these cells. These are half pin-barrel hinges. [picks up a bench and places it at the bottom of the cell door] With the right leverage and proper application of strength, the door will lift free. Jack: What’s your name? Will: Will Turner . Jack: That will be short for William , I imagine. Good, strong name. No doubt, named for your father, right? Will: Yes. Jack: Aha. Well, Mr. Turner , I changed me mind. If you spring me from this cell, I swear on pain of death, I shall take you to the Black Pearl and your bonny lass. Do we have an accord? Will: [they shake hands] Agreed. Jack: Agreed, get me out. Will: [lifts the door free] Hurry, someone will have heard that. Jack: Not without my effects. Scene 9: (Commandeering a ship) Will: We’re going to steal a ship. That ship? [glances at the Dauntless] Jack: Commandeer. We’re going to commandeer that ship. Nautical term. One question about your business boy, there’s no use going. This girl, how far are you willing to go to save her? Will: I’d die for her. Jack: Oh, good. No worries, then. Will: [under boat underwater with Jack in the lead] This is either madness or brilliance. Jack: Remarkable how often those two traits coincide. [they board the Dauntless] Everyone stay calm, we are taking over the ship. Will: Aye, avast! Gillette : This ship cannot be crewed by two men. You’ll never make it out of the bay. Jack: [points his pistol at Gillette ’s nose] Son, I’m Captain Jack Sparrow, savvy? Navy officer: [notices Gillette and his men a small boat] Commodore! Gillette : [waving and screaming from the boat] Sir, they’ve taken the Dauntless. They’ve taken the ship. Sparrow and Turner, they’ve taken the Dauntless. Norrington: [sees the two on board the ship through his spy glass] Rash, Turner, too rash. He is without doubt the worst pirate I have ever seen. Will: [notices the Interceptor set sail] Here they come. Gillette : [to his crew about the boat] Bring her around, bring her around! Norrington: [he and his men board the Dauntless] Search every cabin, every hold, down to the bilges. [ Jack and Will swing onto the Interceptor and sail away; Norrington notices] Sailors, back to the Interceptor! Now! Sailor: Quickly men! [they try but are too late] Jack: Thank you, Commodore, for getting us ready to make way. We’d have a hard time of it by ourselves. Norrington: Set top sails and clear up this mess. Navy officer: But the wind the quarter astern (?) we’ll never catch them. Norrington: We don’t need to catch them just get them in range of the long nines. Navy officer: Men, come about. Run out the guns. [to Norrington] We open fire on our own ship, sir? Norrington: I’d rather see her at the bottom of the ocean than in the hands of a pirate. Sailor: Commodore, he’s disabled the rudder chain, sir! Gillette : [the Interceptor bears down on his boat] Abandon ship! [they jump off just in time as the boat is broken up and sinks under the Interceptor] Navy officer: That’s got to be the best pirate I’ve ever seen. Norrington: So it would seem. Scene 10: (Revelations and Tortuga ) Will: When I was a lad living in England , my mother raised me by herself. After she died, I came out here, looking for my father. Jack: Is that so? Will: My father, Bill Turner . And in jail it was only after you learned my name that you agreed to help. Since that’s what I wanted, I didn’t press the matter. I’m not a simpleton, Jack . You knew my father. Jack: I knew ‘im. Probably one the few who knew him as William Turner , everyone else just called him Bootstrap or Bootstrap Bill. Will: Bootstrap? Jack: Good man, good pirate. I swear you look just like him. Will: It’s not true, he was a merchant sailor; a good, respectable man who obeyed the law Jack: He was a bloody pirate, a scallywag. Will: My father was not a pirate. [takes out his sword] Jack: Put it away, son. It’s not worth you getting beat again. Will: You didn’t beat me; you ignored the rules of engagement. In a fair fight, I’d have killed you. Jack: And that’s no incentive for me to fight fair, is it? [moves one of the sails so that the yard catches Will and swings him out over the sea] And as long as you’re just hanging there, pay attention. The only rules that really matter are these: what a man can do and what a man can’t do. For instance – you can accept that your father was a pirate and a good man or you can’t. But pirate is in your blood, boy, so you’ll have to square with that someday. And me, for example, I can let you drown but I can’t bring this ship into Tortuga all by me onesies, savvy? So…[swings him back on board and offers him his sword] can you sail under the command of a pirate or can you not? Will: [takes the sword] Tortuga ? Jack: Tortuga . Jack: [on the island] …Breathing deep the sweet, proliferous scent that is Tortuga , savvy? What do you think? Will: It'll linger. Jack: If every island were like this one, no man would ever feel unwanted. Jack: Scarlet! [she slaps him] Not sure I deserved that. Giselle! Giselle: Oh, who’s she?! Jack: What? [she slaps him] I may have deserved that. Scene 11: (A proposition) Gibbs: [ Jack throws a bucket of water at him] Curse you for breathing, you slack jawed idiot! Mother’s love! Jack ! You should know better then to wake a man when he’s sleeping. ‘S bad luck. Jack: Ah, fortunately I know how to counter it. The man who did the waking buys, the man who was sleeping, a drink. The man who was sleeping drinks it while listening to a proposition from the man who did the waking Gibbs: Aye, that'll about do it. [Will throws another bucket of water at him] Blast! I’m already awake! Will: That was for the smell. Jack: [they enter a tavern; to Will ] Keep a sharp eye. [sits at a table with Gibbs ] Gibbs: Now, what the nature of this venture your’n? Jack: I’m going after the Black Pearl. [ Gibbs almost chokes on his drink] I know where it’s going to be and I’m going to take it. Gibbs: Jack , it’s a fool’s errand. Well, you know better than me the tales of the Black Pearl . Jack: That’s why I know what Barbossa is up to… all I need is a crew. Gibbs: From what I hear tell of Captain Barbossa , he’s not a man to suffer fools nor strike a bargain with one. Jack: Well, then I say it’s a very good thing I’m not a fool then, aye? Gibbs: Prove me wrong. What makes ye think Barbossa will give up his ship to you? Jack: Let’s just say it’s a matter of leverage, aye? [nods at Will ] Gibbs: The kid? Jack: That is the child of Bootstrap Bill Turner. His only child, savvy? Gibbs: Is he now? Leverage says you, I think I feel a change in the wind says I. I’ll find us a crew, there’s bound to be some sailors on this rock crazy as you. Jack: One can only hope. Take what you can… [toasts Gibbs ] Gibbs: [they clink their tankards] …Give nothing back. [drain their drinks] Scene 12: (The origin of the curse) Pintel: You'll be dinin' with the captain. And he requests you wear this. [gives her a dress] Elizabeth: Well, you may tell the captain that I am disinclined to acquiesce to his request. Pintel: He said you’d say that. He also said if that be the case you'll be dinin' with the crew…and you'll be naked. [she snatches the dress] Fine. [in the Captain’s cabin] Barbossa: [ Elizabeth eats daintily] There’s no need to stand on ceremony, nor call to impress anyone. You must be hungry. [gives her bread then a goblet with wine] Try the wine. And the apples? [offers her one] One of those next. Elizabeth: It’s poisoned. Barbossa: There would be no sense to be killing ye Miss Turner . Elizabeth: Then release me, you have your trinket; I’m of no further value to you. Barbossa: You don’t know what this is, do ye? Elizabeth: It’s a pirate medallion. Barbossa: This is Aztec gold. One of 882 identical pieces they delivered in a stone chest to Cortez himself. Blood money paid to stem the slaughter he wreaked upon them with his armies. But the greed of Cortez was insatiable. So the heathen gods placed upon the gold…a terrible curse. Any mortal that removes but a single piece from that stone chest shall be punished for eternity. Elizabeth: I hardly believe in ghost stories anymore, Captain Barbossa . Barbossa: Aye, that’s exactly what I thought when we were first told the tale. Buried on an island that cannot be found except for those who know where it is. Find it, we did. There be the chest, inside be the gold, we took them all. Spent them and traded them. We frittered them away…on drink and food and pleasurable company. The more we gave them away, the more we came to realize. The drink would not satisfy, food turned to ash in our mouths, and all the pleasurable company in the world could not slake our lust. We are cursed men, Miss Turner . Compelled by greed we were, and now we are consumed by it. There is one way we can end our curse. All the scattered pieces of the Aztec gold must be restored and the blood repaid. Thanks to ye we have the final piece. Elizabeth: And the blood to be repaid? Barbossa: That’s why there’s no sense to be killing ye…yet. Apple? Arr. I’m curious, after killing me what was it you planning on doing next? Look! The moonlight shows us for what we really are. We are not among the living and so we cannot die but neither are we dead. For too long I’ve been parched with thirst and unable to quench it. Too long I’ve been starving to death and haven’t died. I feel nothing, not the wind on my face nor the spray of the sea, nor the warmth of a woman’s flesh. You best start believing in ghost stories Miss Turner ; you’re in one! [drinks, laughs] What are ye looking at? Back to work! Scene 13: ( Jack ’s crew) Gibbs: Feast your eyes, Captain. All of them, faithful hands before the mast. Every man worth his salt. And crazy to boot. Will: So this is your able-bodied crew? Jack: You, sailor! Gibbs: Cotton, sir. Jack: Mr. Cotton . Do you have the courage and fortitude to follow orders and stay true in the face of danger and almost certain death? Mr. Cotton ! Answer me! Gibbs: He's a mute, sir. Poor devil had his tongue cut out, so he trained the parrot to talk for him. No one’s yet figured how... Jack Sparrow : Mr. Cotton 's... parrot. Same question. Parrot: Wind in the sails! Wind in the sails! Mr. Gibbs: Mostly, we figure, that means 'yes.' Jack: O’course it does. [to Will ] Satisfied? Will: Well, you’ve proved them mad. Anamaria: And what’s the benefit for us? Jack: [comes over to the voice and takes off the sailors hat, revealing a woman] Anamaria. [she slaps him] Will: I suppose you didn’t deserve that one either. Jack: No, that one I deserved. Anamaria: You stole my boat! Jack: Actually [she slaps him again]… borrowed, borrowed without permission. But with every intention of bringing it back to you. Anamaria: But you didn’t! Jack: You’ll get another one. Anamaria: I will. Will: A better one. Jack: A better one! Will: That one. [points to the Interceptor] Jack: What one? That one?! Aye! That one. What say you? Crew: Aye! Gibbs: No, no, no, no, no, it’s frightful bad luck to bring a woman aboard, sir. Jack: It’d be far worse not to. [a storm breaks upon them at sea] Will: How can we sail to an island that nobody can find with a compass that doesn’t work? Gibbs: Aye, the compass doesn’t point north but we’re not trying to find north, are we? [to Jack ] We should drop canvas (?), sir. Jack: She can hold a bit longer. Gibbs: What’s in your head that’s put you in such a fine mood, Captain? Jack: We’re catching up. Scene 14: ( Jack ’s past revealed) [on the Pearl ] Pintel: Time to go, Poppet. [they latch the medallion around Elizabeth ’s neck] Parrot: [singing as they enter a lagoon] Dead men tell no tales. Gibbs: [the whoe crew is looking at the wrecks strewn everywhere in the water] Puts a chill in the bones how many honest sailors have been claimed by this passage. Will: [watches as Jack closes the compass when Cotton stares at him too much] How is it that Jack came by that compass? Gibbs: Not a lot known about Jack Sparrow before he showed up in Tortuga with a mind to go after the treasure of the Isla de Muerta . That was before I met him. Back when he was Captain of the Black Pearl. Will: What? He failed to mention that. Gibbs: He plays things close to the vest now. And a hard learned lesson it was. See three days out on the venture the first mate comes to him and says everything’s an equal share as should be the location of the treasure, too. So, Jack gives up the bearings. That night there was a mutiny. They marooned Jack on an island and left him to die but not before he’d gone mad with the heat. Will: Ah. So that's the reason for the… [acts like Jack ] Gibbs: Reason's got nothing to do with it. Now Will , when a man is marooned he is a given a pistol with a single shot. Well it won't do much good hunting or to be rescued. But after three weeks of starvin’ belly and thirst (?) that pistol starts to look real friendly. But Jack made it off the island and he still has that one shot. Oh, but he won't use it though, save for one man. His mutinous first mate. Will: Barbossa. Gibbs: Aye. Will: How did Jack get off the island? Gibbs: Well, I’ll tell you. He waded out into the shallows and there he waited three days and three nights till all manner of sea creature came and acclimated to his presence. And on the fourth morning he roped himself a couple of sea turtles, harnessed them together and made a raft. Will: He roped a couple of sea turtles? Gibbs: Aye, sea turtles. Will: What did he use for rope? Jack: [ Jack comes up] Human hair, from my back. Let go of the anchor! Crew: Let go of the anchor, sir! Jack: Young Mr. Turner and I are to go ashore. Gibbs: Captain! What if the worst should happen? Jack: Keep to the code. Gibbs: Aye, the code. Scene 15: (The blood ritual and Jack ’s not dead) Pintel: Ten years of hoarding swag. Ragetti: And now we’re finally getting to spend it. [they empty a trunk and it turns out to be full of ladies’ clothes] Pintel: Once we’re quit of the curse we’ll be rich men. And you can buy an eye that actually fits and is made of glass. Ragetti: This one does splinter something terrible. [rubs it] Pintel: Stop rubbing it. [in the boat] Will: [sees a skull] What code is Gibbs to keep to if the worst should happen? Jack: Pirate’s code. Any man that falls behind is left behind. Will: No heroes amongst thieves, eh? Jack: You know for having such a bleak outlook on pirates you’re well on your way to becoming one. Sprung a man from jail, commandeered a ship of the Fleet, sailed with a buccaneer crew out of Tortuga …and you’re completely obsessed with treasure. Will: That’s not true. I’m not obsessed with treasure. Jack: [looks in o
