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.
