PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: AT WORLD’S END TRANSCRIPT (Loose) L: In order to put forth a more timely halt to the deteriorating conditions and to ensure the common good, a state of emergency has been issued for these territories by the decree of Lord Cutler Beckett; duly appointed representative of his majesty the King. For the time being, the following individual rights have been temporarily amended: Right to assembly ‘ suspended; right to habeas corpus ‘ suspended; right to legal council ‘ suspended; and right to a verdict by a jury of peers ‘ suspended. Any person convicted of piracy, or associating with a person convicted of piracy, or aiding a person convicted of piracy, shall be sentenced to hang by the neck until dead.
LB: The king and his men stole the queen from her bed. And bound her in her bones. The seas be ours and by the powers where we will, we’ll roam.
BM: Yo ho, all hands, hoist the colours high.
REST: Heave ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die. Yo ho, haul together, hoist the colours high. Heave ho, thieves and beggars
LG: Lord Beckett, they’ve started to sing, sir.
CB: Finally.
BOY: Never shall we die.
Coin drops and title appears on screen
—————————- E: Some men have died and some are alive, others sail on the sea. With the keys to the cage and the devil to pay, we lay to Fiddler’s Green. The bell has been raised from its watery grave. Hear its sepulchral tone. A call to all, pay heed to the squall and turn your sails toward home. Yo ho, haul together, hoist the colours high. Heave ho ?
TH: Thief and beggar! Never say we die. A dangerous song to be singing for anyone ignorant of its meaning. Particularly a woman. Particularly a woman alone.
B: What makes you think she’s alone?
TH: You protect her?
E: And what makes you think I need protected?
B: Your master’s expectin’ us. And an unexpected death would cast a slight pall on our meetin’.
-Incoherent EITC orders- Crew of BP underwater, Tia Dalma setting up’..
E: Have you heard anything from Will?
B: I trust young Turner to acquire the charts and for you to remember your place in the presence of Cap’n Sao Feng.
E: Is he that terrifying?
B: He’s much like myself, absent my merciful nature and sense of fair play.
TH: Hoy.
G: We’re through! Make quick!
TH: Do you think because she is a woman we would not suspect her of treachery?
B: Well, when you put it that way.
TH: Remove, please.
B: *smirk*
TH: Remove, please.
SF: Captain Barbossa, welcome to Singapore. More steam.
G: None of that! If things don’t go the way we want, then we’re the only chance they’ve got!
SF: I understand you have a request to make of me.
B: More of a proposal to put to ye. I’ve a venture underway, and I find meself in need of a ship and a crew.
SF: It’s an odd coincidence.
E: Because you happen to have a ship and a crew you don’t need?
SF: No, because earlier this day, not far from here, a thief broke into my most revered, uncle’s temple and tried to make off with these: the navigational charts; the route to the farthest gate. Would it be amazing if this venture of yours took you to the world beyond this one?
B: It would strain credulity at that.
SF: This is the thief. Is his face familiar to you’ Then I guess he has no further need for it. You come into my city, and you betray my hospitality.
B: Sao Feng, I assure you, I had no idea ?
SF: That he would get caught! You intend to attempt a voyage to Davy Jones’ Locker, but I cannot help but wonder: why?
B: The song has been sung. The time is upon us. We must convene the Brethren court. As one of the nine pirate lords, you must honor the call.
SF: More steam. More steam! There is a price on all our heads. It is true; it seems the only way a pirate can turn profit anymore is by betraying other pirates.
G: Wait for the signal.
R: It’s Elizabeth!
B: ‘.And now that rule is being challenged by Lord Cutler Beckett.
SF: Against the East India Trading Company, what value is the Brethren court’ What can any of us do?
E: You can fight! Get off me. You are Sao Feng, the pirate lord of Singapore.
P: *looks up to see a man’s belly instead.*
E: You command in the Age of Piracy where bold captains sail free waters; where waves aren’t measured in feet, but increments in fear and those who pass the test become legend. Would you have that era come to an end on your watch’ The most notorious pirates from around the world ‘ they’re uniting against our enemy ‘ and yet you sit here, cowering in your bathwater!
SF: Elizabeth Swann, there is more to you than meets the eye, isn’t there’ And the eye does not go wanting. But I cannot help but notice you have failed to answer my question. What is it you seek in Davy Jones Locker?
W: Jack Sparrow. He’s one of the pirate lords.
SF: The only reason I would want Jack Sparrow returned from the Land of the Dead is so I can send him back myself!
B: Jack Sparrow holds one of the nine pieces of eight. He failed to pass it along to a successor before he died, so we must go and get him back.
SF: So, you admit, you have deceived me. Weapons!
G: Weapons!
B: Sao Feng, I assure you, our intentions are strictly honorable!
SF: Drop your weapons or I kill the man!
B: Kill him, he’s not our man.
W: If he’s not with you and he’s not with us, who’s he with?
EITC bursts through; fighting ensues.
SF: Sow! (exit command in Chinese’)
——————– SF: Is it surprising that the East India Company finds me’ That they should show up here in Singapore?
W: It is coincidence only. If you want to make a deal with Beckett, you need what I offer.
SF: You crossed Barbossa. You’re willing to cross Jack Sparrow. Why should I expect any better?
W: I need the Black Pearl to free my father; you’re helping me to get it.
CP: Uh oh! Fire in the hole!
B: Thank you, Jack!
CP: Thank you, Jack!
B: Do you have the charts?
W: And better ‘ a ship and a crew.
E: Where’s Sao Feng?
W: He’ll cover our escape.
TH: This way.
E: There’s no place left for Sao Feng to cower. Do you think he will honor the call?
TD: I cannot say. There’s an evil in these seas that even the most staunch and bloodthirsty pirates have come to fear.
——————— Shots of the Dutchman attacking
———————
CB: A piece of eight. Nine of them, you say?
M: Our new friend in Singapore was very clear ‘ nine pieces of eight.
CB: What’s the significance of that, I wonder?
M: Does it matter’ There’s nothing as can outrun the Armada, not with the Flying Dutchman at the lead.
CB: Nothing we know of. Did your friend happen to mention where the Brethren court are meeting?
M: He was mum on that, sir.
CB: Mm, then he knows the value of information. Better keep this between ourselves. We don’t want anyone running off to Singapore, do we’ Ah, Admiral.
N: You summoned me, Lord Beckett.
CB: Yes. Something for you there. Your new station deserves an old friend.
GS: Not more requisition orders.
MAN: No sir, execution.
CB: The Brethren know they face extinction. All that’s left for them to decide is where they make their final stand.

P: No one said anything about cold.
