Will Turner: Where's Elizabeth? Jack Sparrow: She's safe, just like I promised. She's all set to marry Norrington, just like she promised. And you get to die for her, just like you promised. So we're all men of our word really... except for Elizabeth, who is in fact, a woman.

Jack Sparrow: [to Weatherby Swann] I think we've all arrived at a very special place. Spiritually, ecumenically, grammatically. Jack Sparrow: I want you to know that I was rooting for you. Know that. [to Commodore Norrington] Jack Sparrow: Elizabeth... it would never have worked between us darling. I'm sorry... Will... nice hat. Friends... This is the day that you will ALWAYS remember as the day that you... [backs up and trips over ledge]

[Jack throws a bucket of water on sleeping Gibbs] Mr. Gibbs: Curse you for breathin' ya slack-jawed idiot. Jack. Mother's love. You should know it's bad luck to wake a man when he's sleeping. Jack Sparrow: 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 a man who did the waking. Mr. Gibbs: Aye, that'll about do it. [Will throws more water on Mr. Gibbs] Mr. Gibbs: Blast I'm already awake. Will Turner: That was for the smell.

Barbossa: For too long I've been parched of 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. [steps into moonlight becoming a skeleton] Barbossa: You best start believing in ghost stories Miss Turner. You're in one.

Barbossa: How the blazes did you get off that island? Jack Sparrow: When you marooned me on that god forsaken spit of land, you forgot one very important thing, mate: I'm Captain Jack Sparrow.

Barbossa: So you expect to leave me standing on some beach with nothing but a name and your word it's the one I need and watch you sail away on my ship? Jack Sparrow: No. I expect to leave you standing on some beach with absolutely no name at all, watching me sail away on my ship and then I'll shout the name back to you. Savvy? Barbossa: But that still leaves us with the problem of me standing on some beach with naught but a name and your word it's the one I need. Jack Sparrow: Of the two of us I am the only one who hasn't committed mutiny, therefore my word is the one we'll be trusting. Although, I suppose I should be thanking you because in fact, if you hadn't betrayed me and left me to die, I would have an equal share in that curse same as you. [bites into an apple] Jack Sparrow: Funny ol' world, innit? [offers him an apple]

Norrington: No additional shot nor powder, a compass that doesn't point north, [looks at Jack's sword] Norrington: and I half expected it to be made of wood. You are without a doubt the worst pirate I've ever heard of. Jack Sparrow: But you have heard of me.

Elizabeth: Captain Barbossa, I am here to negotiate the cessation of hostilities against Port Royal. Barbossa: There be 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. [crew laughs] Barbossa: I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request. Means "no."

Will Turner: We're going to steal a ship? That ship? Jack Sparrow: Commandeer. We're going to commandeer that ship. Nautical term.

Elizabeth: But you were marooned on this island before, weren't you? We can escape in the same way you did then! Jack Sparrow: To what point and purpose, young missy? The Black Pearl is gone. Unless you have a rudder and a load of sails hidden in that bodice, unlikely, young Mr. Turner will be dead long before we can reach him. Elizabeth: You're Captain Jack Sparrow! You vanished from under the eyes of seven agents from the East India Trading Company! You sacked their south port without even firing a shot. Are you the pirate I've read about or not? How did you escape last time? Jack Sparrow: Last time I was here a grand total of three days, all right? Last time, the rum runners this island as a cache and I was able to barter a passage off, and by the looks of things, they've gone out of business; and by the looks of things, they probably have your bloody friend Norrington to blame for that. Elizabeth: So, that's it then? That's the secret *grand* adventure of the infamous Jack Sparrow? You spent three days on a beach drinking rum? Jack Sparrow: Welcome to the Caribbean, love.

Jack Sparrow: [after Will draws his sword] Put it away, son. It's not worth you getting beat again. Will Turner: You didn't beat me. You ignored the rules of engagement. In a fair fight, I'd kill you. Jack Sparrow: That's not much incentive for me to fight fair, then, is it?

Jack Sparrow: [looking at all the swords] Who makes all these? Will Turner: I do. And I practice with them three hours a day. Jack Sparrow: 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? Will Turner: I practice three hours a day, so when I meet a pirate, I can kill it.

Jack Sparrow: That's what a ship is, you know? It's not just a crew and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs, not what a ship is. What the Black Pearl *really* is... is freedom.

Jack Sparrow: 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 some day. And me, for example, I can let you drown, but I can't bring this ship into Tortuga all by me onesies, savvy? So, can you sail under the command of a pirate, or can you not?

Mr. Gibbs: Then, on the fourth day, he roped himself a couple of sea turtles, lashed 'em together and made a raft. Will Turner: He roped a couple of sea turtles. Mr. Gibbs: Aye. Sea turtles. Will Turner: What did he use for rope? Jack Sparrow: [from beside them] Human hair. [pause] Jack Sparrow: From my back.

[talking to the pirates while he's in jail] Jack Sparrow: Worry about your own fortunes gentlemen. The deepest circle of hell is reserved for betrayers and mutineers. [pirate grabs Jack's throat to reveal a skeleton arm] Jack Sparrow: So, there is a curse? That's interesting. Koehler: You know nothing of hell. Jack Sparrow: That's VERY interesting

Barbossa: First, your return to shore was not part of our negotiations nor our agreement, so I must do nothin'. 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.

Will Turner: Barbossa, you lying bastard! You swore she'd go free! Barbossa: Don't dare impugn my honor boy! I agreed she go free, but it was you who failed to specify when or where. Though it does seem a shame to lose somethin' so fine, don't it, lads? The Crew: Aye. Barbossa: So I'll be havin' that dress back. Jack Sparrow: I always liked you. Jacoby: Grr... Elizabeth: Goes with your black heart. Barbossa: Ooh, it's still warm. The Crew: Off you go!; Come on!; Get on with it! Jacoby: Too long! Jack Sparrow: I really rather hope we were past all this. Barbossa: Jack... Jack! Did you not notice that be the same island we made you the governor of on our last little trip? Jack Sparrow: I did notice. Barbossa: Perhaps, you'd rather conjure up another miraculous escape, but I doubt it. Off you go. Jack Sparrow: The last time you left me a pistol with one shot. Barbossa: Perhaps, you're right. Where be Jack's pistol? Bring it forward. Jack Sparrow: Seeing as the two of us are gentlemen, you'd give us a pair of pistols. Barbossa: It'll be one pistol as before, and you can be the gentleman and shoot the lady; and starve to death yourself.

Town Clerk: Jack Sparrow. Jack Sparrow: Captain... Captain Jack Sparrow. Town Clerk: ...for your willful commission of crime against the grounds. Those crimes being numerous in quantity and sinister in nature... Elizabeth: This is wrong... Governor Swann: Commodore Norrington is bound by the law. Town Clerk: ...impersonating an officer of the Royal Navy; impersonating a clergy of the Church of England... Jack Sparrow: Ah, yes. Ha ha. Town Clerk: ...arson; kidnapping; perjury; piracy; pilfering; deprivation of a Federal Loyalist. For these crimes you will be hung by the neck until dead. May God have mercy on your soul.

Jack Sparrow: What's your name? Will Turner: Will Turner. Jack Sparrow: That would be short for William, I imagine. Good strong name, no doubt named for your father, eh? Will Turner: Yes. Jack Sparrow: Well Mr. Turner, I've 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 bonnie lass. Do we have an accord? [puts out his hand] Will Turner: Agreed. [they shake hands]
