Pirates of the Caribbean 3 – At World’s End
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.

B: Who was the first court what imprisoned Calypso’ We should be the ones to set her free, and in her gratitude, she will see fit to grant us boons.
JS: Whose boons’ Your boons’ Utterly deceptive twirl speak, says I.
B: If you have a better alternative, please. Share.
JS: Cuttlefish. Eh’ Let us not, dear friends, forget our dear friends the cuttlefish. Flipper-curious little sausages. Pin them up together and they will devour each other without a second thought; human nature, isn’t it’ Or, fish nature’ So yes, we could hold up here, well-provisioned, and well-armed and half of us will be dead within the month. Which seems quite grim to me, any way you slice it. Or as my learned colleague so naively suggests we can release Calypso. And we can pray that she will be merciful. I’d rather doubt it. Can we, in fact, pretend that she is anything other than a woman scorned like which fury hell hath no’ We cannot. _____ We are left with but one option. I agree with, and I cannot believe the words that are coming out of me mouth, Captain Swann. We must fight.
B: You’ve always run away from a fight!
JS: Have not.
B: You have so.
JS: Have not.
B: You have so.
