P: No water. Why is all but the rum gone?
G: Rum’s gone too.
TD: If we cannot escape these doldrums before night, I fear we will sail on trackless seas, doomed to roam the reach between worlds, forever.
G: And with no water, forever seems to be arriving a mite too soon.
W: Why doesn’t he do something?
R: Me eye! Give it back!
G: There’s no sense to it.
W: And the green flash happens at sunset, not sunrise.
G: Over the edge. It’s driving me over the bloomin’ edge. Sunrises don’t set.
JS: Up is down. Well that’s just maddeningly unhelpful. Why are these things never clear?
J: Clear as mud, Jackie.
JS: What’ Eh?
J: Stab the heart.
J: Don’t stab the heart.
JS: Come again?
J: The Dutchman must have Captain.
JS: Well that’s even more than less than unhelpful.
J: Sail the seas for eternity.
JS: I love the sea.
J: What about port?
JS: I prefer rum. Rum’s good.
J: Making port. Where we can get rum and salty wenches once every ten years.
J: What did he say?
JS: once ever ten years.
J: Ten years is a long time, mate.
JS: Even longer given the deficit of rum.
J: But eternity is longer still.
J: And how will you be spending it’ Dead’ Or not?
J: The immortal Captain Sparrow.
JS: Oo, I like that.
J: Come sunset, it won’t matter.
JS: Not sunset. Sundown and rise up! What’s that’ What is that’ I don’t know. What do you think’ Ooo!
W: Where?
JS: There! Ah!
E: What is it?
P: He’s rockin’ the ship!
G: We’re rockin’ the ship!
B: Aye! He’s on to it!
P: He’s rockin’ the ship.
R: We tie each other to the mast, upside down, so when the boat flips, we’ll be right side up!
B: Time it with the swell! Loose the canon, you filthy bilge rats! Un-stow the cargo! Let it shift!
JS: Now up is down.
P: This was your idea!
G: Blessed sweet westerlies. We’re back!
E: It’s the sunrise.
All whip out guns
CP: Parlay!
P: We need our pistols! Get untied! Hurry!
B: *laughs*
JS: *laughs*
W: *laughs*
E: *laughs*
B: Alright then! The Brethren Court is a-gatherin’ at Shipwreck Cove; and Jack, you and I are a’goin’ and there’ll be no arguing that point.
JS: I is arguing the point. If there’s pirates a-gathering, I’m pointing my ship the other way.
E: The pirates are gathering to fight Beckett and you’re a pirate.
W: Fight or not, you’re not running, Jack.
B: If we don’t stand together, they’ll hunt us down one by one ’till there’ll be none left but you.
JS: Quite like the sound of that. Captain Jack Sparrow, the last pirate.
B: Aye. And you’ll be fightin’ Jones alone. Now, how does that figure into your plan?
JS: I’m still working on that. But I will not be goin’ back to the locker, mate. Count on that.
G: Wet powder.
P: Wait! We can still use ’em as clubs!
R: Sorry. Effective though.
W: There’s a fresh water spring on this island. We can re-supply there and get back to shooting each other later.
JS: You lead the shore party; I’ll stay with my ship.
B: I’ll not be leavin’ my ship in your command.
W: Why don’t you both go ashore and leave the ship in my command’ Temporarily.
R: Full tide!
P: Criminey.
R: Careful, careful!
P: You stupid fish!
R: Actually, it’s a cephalopod.
P: Serves you right!
R: *something*”.sketch of us sitting on top.
P: Pintel and Ragetti ‘ Kraken slayers.
B: Still thinkin’ of runnin’, Jack’ Think you can outrun the world’ You know the problem with bein’ the last of anythin’, by and by there’ll be none left at all.
JS: Sometimes things come back, mate. We’re livin’ proof, you and me.
B: Aye, but that’s a gamble of long odds, aint’ it’ There’s never a guarantee of comin’ back, but passin’ on, that’s dead certain.
JS: Summoning the Brethren Court then, is it?
B: It’s our only hope, lad.
JS: That’s a sad commentary in and of itself.
B: The world used to be a bigger place.
JS: World’s still the same. There’s just’.less in it.
B: Poison. Fouled by the body.
P: Hey, I know him. He was in Singapore.
MARTY: Captain!
R: We’ve got company!
TH: *spoken in language*
JS: He’s the captain.
———————————
B: Sao Feng, you showing up here is truly a remarkable coincidence.
SF: Jack Sparrow. You paid me great insult once.
JS: That doesn’t sound like me. So we’ll just call it square, then?
W: Release her. She’s not part of the bargain.
B: And what bargain be that?
SF: You heard Captain Turner. Release her.
JS: Captain Turner?
G: Aye, the perfidious rotter led a mutiny against us.
W: I need the Pearl to free my father. That’s the only reason I came on this voyage.
E: Why didn’t you tell me you were planning this?
W: It was my burden to bear.
JS: He needs the Pearl. Captain Turner needs the Pearl. And you felt guilty. And you and your Brethren Court. Did no one come to save me just because they missed me’ I’m standing over there with them.
SF: I’m sorry, Jack. But there is an old friend who wants to see you first.
JS: I’m not certain I can survive anymore visits from old friends.
SF: Here is your chance to find out.
———————————————-
CB: Curious. Your friends appear to be quite desperate, Jack. Perhaps they no longer believe a gathering of squabbling pirates can defeat the Flying Dutchman, and so despair leads to betrayal. But you and I are no strangers to betrayal, are we’ It’s not here, Jack.
JS: What’ What isn’t?
CB: The heart of Davy Jones’.is safely aboard the Dutchman and so unavailable for use as leverage to satisfy your debt to the good captain.
JS: By my reckoning, that account has been settled.
CB: By your death’ And yet here you are.
JS: Close your eyes and pretend it’s all a bad dream. That’s how I get by.
CB: And if Davy Jones were to learn of your survival?
SF: My men are crew enough.
M: Company ship, company crew.
W: We agreed. The Pearl was to be mine.
SF: And so it was.
CB: Might you consider an alternative arrangement’ One which requires absolutely nothing from you but information.
JS: Regarding the Brethren Court, no doubt’ In exchange for fair compensation, square my debt with Jones’ Guarantee my freedom?
CB: Of course. It’s just good business.
JS: Were I in a divulge-itory mood, what then might I divulge?
CB: Everything. Where are they meeting’ Who are the pirate lords’ What is the purpose of the nine pieces of eight?
SF: Beckett agreed. The Black Pearl was to be mine!
M: Lord Beckett’s not going to give up the only ship as can outrun the Dutchman, is he?
B: A shame they’re not bound to honor the code of the Brethren, isn’t it’ Because honor’s a hard thing to come by nowadays.
SF: There is no honor remaining with the losing side, leaving is for the winning side. It’s just good business.
B: The losing side, you say?
SF: They have the Dutchman. Now the Pearl! What do the Brethren have?
B: We have Calypso.
SF: Calypso. An old legend.
B: No, the goddess herself bound in human form. Imagine all the power of the seas brought to bear against our enemy. I intend to release her, but for that, I need the Brethren chords. All the chords.
JS: You can keep Barbossa. The belligerent maculate and his friend with the wooden eye, both. And Turner ‘ especially Turner. The rest go with me on the Pearl and I’ll lead you to Shipwreck Cove where I will hand you the pirates and you will not hand me to Jones.
CB: And what becomes of Miss Swann?
JS: What interest is she to you?
SF: What are you proposing, captain?
B: What be acceptin’, cap’n?
SF: The girl.
E: What?
CB: Jack, I just recalled, I’ve got this wonderful compass which points to whatever I want. So for what do I need you?
W: Elizabeth is not part of any bargain.
B: Out of the question.
SF: Was not the question!
JS: Points to the thing you want most, which is not the Brethren Court, is it?
CB: Then what is, Jack?
JS: Me, dead.
E: Done.
W: Not done.
E: You were the one who got us into this mess. If this is what frees us, then done.
CB: Damn. Although, if I kill you, then I can use the compass to find Shipwreck Cove, is it’ on my own. Cut out the middle man, as it were.
W: Elizabeth, they’re pirates.
E: I’ve had more than enough experience dealing with pirates.
B: Then we have an accord?
JS: With me killed, you’d arrive at the Cove, find its stronghold nigh impregnable ‘ able to withstand blockade for years ‘ and then you’d be wishing, ‘Oh, if only I hadn’t killed someone inside to ensure that the pirates then come outside.?
CB: And you can accomplish all this, can you?
JS: You can kill me, but you may never insult me. Who am I’ Captain Jack Sparrow! Done!
CB: You’re mad!
JS: Thank goodness for that because if I wasn’t, this would probably never work. And that was without even a single drop of rum. Send this pestilent, traitorous, cow hearted, yeasty cod-piece to the brig.
LG: Which ship do we follow?
CB: Signal the Dutchman to track down Sao Feng. We follow the Pearl. How soon can we have the ship ready for pursuit?
LG: Do you think he plans it all out or just makes it up as he goes along?
—————————————————
SF: *Chinese speak* By this time tomorrow, we will arrive at Shipwreck Cove and you will be free, Calypso.
E: Excuse me?
SF: Not the name you’d fancy, I imagine, out of the many that you have. But it is what we call you.
E: We being who?
SF: You confirm it’
E: Confirm what’ You’ve told me nothing.
SF: The Brethren Court ‘ not I ‘ the first Brethren Court whose position I would have opposed. They bound you to human form so that the rule of the seas would belong to men and not-
E: To me.
SF: But one such as you should never be anything less than what you are.
E: Pretty speech for a captain. But words whispered through prison bars lose their charm.
SF: Can I be blamed for my efforts’ All men are drawn to the sea, perilous though it may be.
E: And some men offer desire as justification for their crimes.
SF: I offer simply my desire.
E: And in return?
SF: I would have your gifts, should you chose to give them.
E: And if I should chose not?
SF: Then I will take your fury.
Canon blasts
E: Sao Feng?
SF: Here. Please. With all nine pieces of eight, you will be free. Take it! You are captain now.
E: Me?
SF: Go in my place to Shipwreck Cove.
TH: Captain, the ship is taken. We cannot-
SF: Forgive me, Calypso.
TH: What did he tell you?
E: He made me captain.
TH: You are not my captain.
N: Elizabeth!
E: James. James!
N: Thank god you’re alive. You’re father will be overjoyed to know you’re safe.
E: My father’s dead.
N: No, it can’t be true; he returned to England.
E: Did Lord Beckett tell you that?
DJ: Who among you do you name as Captain?
TH: Captain ‘ her!
CREW: Her!
DJ: Captain-
N: Tow the ship! Put the prisoners in the brig. The captain shall have my quarters.
E: Thank you sir, but I prefer to remain with my crew.
N: Elizabeth, I swear, I did not know.
E: Know what’ Which side you chose’ Well, now you do.
———————————————
E: Bootstrap?
CREWMAN: *laughs*
E: Bootstrap?
CREWMAN: Huh?
E: Bill Turner?
BB: Bootstrap. You know my name?
E: Yes, I know your son. Will Turner.
BB: William! Ha! He made it! He’s alive! And now he sends you to tell me that he’s coming to get me. Ha! God spoons, he’s on his way!
E: Yes, Will is alive. And he wants to help you.
BB: He can’t help me. He won’t come.
E: But you’re his father.
BB: I know you. He spoke of you. He can’t save me, he can’t come because of you.
E: Me?
BB: You’re Elizabeth.
E: Yes, I’m Elizabeth.
BB: If Jones be slain, he who slays him must take his place. Captain forever. The Dutchman must always have a captain. And if he saves me, he loses you.
E: I see.
BB: He won’t pick me. I wouldn’t pick me. Tell him not to come. Tell him to stay away. Tell him it’s too late. I’m already a part of the ship’.and the crew.
E: Bootstrap?
BB: You know my name’ You know my name?
E: Yes, I know you’re son.
BB: William! He’s coming for me! Wait and see! You’ll see. He promised.

LGreit: Sir.
CB: A bread crumb trail and we’re meant to follow.
LGreit: A traitor among them?
CB: A gambit by a skilled opponent. Adjust course, lieutenant.
LGreit: Sir?
CB: We can only hope to reach our destination before they run out of bodies.
—————————————————-
JS: You escaped the brig even quicker than I expected. William, do you notice anything’ Rather, do you notice something that is not there to be noticed?
W: You haven’t raised an alarm.
JS: Odd, isn’t it’ Not as odd as this. Come up with this all by your lonesome, did you?
W: I said to myself, ‘Think like Jack.?
JS: This is what you arrived at’ Lead Beckett to Shipwreck Cove so as to gain his trust, accomplish your own ends’ It’s like you don’t know me at all, mate. And how does your dearly beloved feel about this plan’ Ah, you’ve not seen fit to trust her with it.
W: I’m losing her, Jack. Every step I make for my father is a step away from Elizabeth.
JS: Mate, if you chose to lock your heart away, you lose it for certain. If I may lend a machete to your intellectual thicket, avoid the choice all together. Change the facts. Let someone else dispatch Jones.
W: Who’ You?
JS: Death has a curious way of re-shuffling one’s priorities. I slip aboard the Dutchman, find the heart, stab the beating thing, your father goes free from his debt and you’re free to be with your charming murderess.
W: And you’re willing to cut out your heart and bind yourself to the Dutchman’ Forever?
JS: No, mate. I’m free forever. Free to sail the seas beyond the edges of the map, free from death itself.
W: You have to do the job though, Jack. You have to ferry souls to the next world or end up just like Jones.
JS: I don’t have the face for tentacles. But immortal has to count for something, ay’ Oh!
W: What’s this for?
JS: Think like me, it’ll come to you. My regards to Davy Jones!
W: I hate him!
———————————————
N: Come with me. Quickly!
TH: *order*
E: What are you doing?
N: Choosing a side. Quickly!
Do not go to Shipwreck Cove. Beckett knows of the meeting of the Brethren. I fear there may be a traitor among them.
E: It’s too late to earn my forgiveness.
N: I had nothing to do with your father’s death. That does not absolve me from my other sins.
E: Come with us. James, come with me.
BB: Who goes there?
N: Go. I will follow.
E: You’re lying.
N: Our destinies have been entwined, Elizabeth. They’ve never joined. Go now! Back to your station, sailor.
BB: No one leaves the ship.
N: Stand down. That’s an order.
BB: That’s an order. Part of the crew, part of the ship. Part of the crew, part of the ship. Part of the crew, part of the ship!
N: Steady, man!
BB: Part of the crew, part of the ship! All hands! Prisoners escape!
N: Belay that!
E: James!
James! No! No!
CREW: The admiral’s dead’ The admiral’s dead. The admiral’s dead. To the Captain’s Cabin!
DJ: James Norrington, do you fear death’ I take that as a no. Nice sword.
M: The Dutchman is under my command.
DJ: For now.
———————————
G: Look alive and keep a weather eye! Not for naught it’s called Shipwreck island, where lies Shipwreck Cove in the town of Shipwreck!
P: You heard him! Step lively!
JS: You know for all that pirate’s are clever clogs, we are an unimaginative lot when it comes to naming things. I once sailed with a geezer who lost both of his arms, part of his eye.
G: What did you call him?
JS: Larry.
B: I do not renege a bargain once struck, but we agreed on ends only. The means are mine to decide.
TD: Caution, Barbossa. Do not forget it was by my power you returned from the dead or what it mean if you fail me.
B: Don’t you forget why you had to bring me back .Why I could not leave Jack to his well-deserved fate. It took nine pirate lords to bind you, Calypso, and it’ll take no less than nine to set ya free. Masters Pintel and Ragetti ‘ take this fishwife to the brig.
P: Right this way, Mrs. Fish.
———————————————–
DJ: I cannot be summoned like some mongrel pup.
CB: Apparently you can. I believe you know each other.
DJ: Ah, come to join my crew again, Master Turner.
W: Not yours, his. Oh, Jack Sparrow sends his regards.
DJ: Sparrow?
W: You didn’t tell him’ We rescued Jack from the Locker along with the Black Pearl.
DJ: What else have you not told me?
CB: There is an issue far more troublesome. I believe you are familiar with a person called Calypso.
DJ: Not a person; a heathen god. One who delights in cursing men with their wildest dreams and then revealing them to be hollow and naught but ash. The world is well rid of her.
W: Not quite so well, actually. The Brethren Court intends to release her.
DJ: No. They cannot. The first court promised to imprison her forever. That was our agreement.
CB: Your agreement?
DJ: I showed them how to bind her. She could not be trusted. I’.she gave me no choice. We must act before they release her.
W: You loved her. She’s the one. And then you betrayed her.
DJ: She pretended to love me. She betrayed me!
W: And after which betrayal did you cut out your heart, I wonder?
DJ: Do not test me.
W: I hadn’t finished that. You will free my father. And you will guarantee Elizabeth’s safety along with my own.
CB: Your terms are steep, Mr. Turner. We will expect full value in return.
DJ: The only price I will accept is Calypso ‘ murdered.
W: Calypso’s aboard the Black Pearl. Jack has sailed the Black Pearl to Shipwreck Cove.
CB: And with you no longer aboard her, how do you propose to lead us there?
W: What is it you want most?
——————————————————–
P: Look at them all!
B: There’s not been a gatherin’ like this in our lifetime.
JS: And I owe them more money.
B: ‘Issued summoned, I convene this the fourth Brethren Court! Confirm your lordship and right to be heard ‘ present now your pieces of eight, my fellow cap’ns.
P: Those aren’t pieces of eight; they’re just pieces of junk.
G: Aye, the original plan was to use nine pieces of eight to bind Calypso. But when the first Court met, the Brethren were (‘) broke.
P: So change the name.
G: To what’ To nine pieces of whatever we happen to have in our pockets at the time’ Oh yes. That sounds very piratey.
B: Master Ragetti, if you will.
R: I kept it safe, just like you said when you gave it to me.
B: Aye, you have, but now, I need it back.
V: Sparrow!
JS: Might I point out that we are still short one pirate lord, and I’m as content as a cucumber to wait until Sao Feng joins us.
E: Sao Feng is dead. He fell to the Flying Dutchman.
MC: The flagship!
JS: Made you Captain’! Just giving the bloody title away, now.
E: Listen to me! Our location has been betrayed. Jones is under the command of Lord Beckett. They’re on their way here.
GJ: Who is this betrayer?
B: Not likely anyone among us.
E: Where’s Will?
JS: Not among us.
B: And it matters not how they found us, but what will we do now that they have?
E: We fight.
MC: Shipwreck Cove is a fortress! A well-supplied fortress. There is no need to fight if they cannot get to us!
B: There be a third course. In another age at this very spot, the first Brethren Court captured the sea goddess and bound her in her bones. That was a mistake. Oh, we tamed the seas for ourselves, aye, but opened the door to Beckett and his ilk! Better were the days when mastery of seas came not from bargains struck with eldritch creatures, but from the sweat of a man’s brow and the strength of his back alone. You all know this to be true. Gentlemen, Ladies, we must free Calypso.
A: Shoot him!
GJ: Cut out his tongue!
JS: Shoot him and cut out his tongue. Then shoot his tongue! Trim that scraggly beard.
TH: Sao Feng would’ve agreed with Barbossa.
B: Aye.
GJ: Calypso was our enemy then. She will be our enemy now.
CC: And it’s unlikely her moods improve.
V: I would still agree with Sao Feng. We release Calypso!
CC: You threaten me?
V: I silence you!
E: This is madness.
JS: This is politics.
E: Meanwhile, our enemies are bearing down upon us.
B: If they not be here already.
————————————————
TD: My sweet. You come for me.
DJ: You were expecting me.
TD: It has been torture ‘ trapped in this single form. Cut off from the sea, from all that I love, from you.
DJ: Ten years I devoted to the duty you charged me. Ten years I looked after those who died at sea. And when we could be together again, you weren’t there. Why weren’t you there?
TD: It’s my nature. Would you love me if I was anything but what I am?
DJ: I do not love you.
TD: Many things you were, Davy Jones, but never cruel. You have corrupted your purpose, and so yourself. And you did hide away what should always have been mine.
DJ: Calypso.
TD: I will be free. And when I am, I will give you my heart, and we will be together always. If only you had a heart to give. Why did you come?
DJ: And what fate have you planned for your captors?
TD: The Brethren Court’ All of them, the last thing they will learn in this life is how cruel I can be. And what of your fate, Davy Jones?
DJ: My heart will always belong to you.
