Scene 13: ( Jack ‘s crew)
Gibbs : Feast your eyes, Captain. All of them, faithful hands before the mast, every man worth his salt. And crazy to boot.
Will : So this is your able-bodied crew?
Jack : You, sailor!
Gibbs : Cotton, sir.
Jack : Mr. Cotton … do you have the courage and fortitude to follow orders and stay true in the face of danger and almost certain death? Mr. Cotton ! Answer, man!
Gibbs : He’s a mute, sir. Poor devil had his tongue cut out, so he trained the parrot to talk for him. No one’s yet figured how.
Jack : Mr. Cotton ‘s… parrot. Same question.
Parrot: Wind in the sails! Wind in the sails!
Gibbs : Mostly, we figure, that means “yes.'”
Jack : O’course it does. [to Will ] Satisfied?
Will : Well, you’ve proved they’re mad.
Anamaria: And what’s the benefit for us?
Jack : [comes over to the voice and takes off the sailors hat, revealing a woman] Anamaria. [she slaps him]
Will : I suppose you didn’t deserve that one either.
Jack : No, that one I deserved.
Anamaria: You stole my boat!
Jack : Actually [she slaps him again] borrowed. Borrowed without permission. But with every intention of bringing it back to you.
Anamaria: But you didn’t!
Jack : You’ll get another one.
Anamaria: [points her forefinger at him] I will.
Will: A better one.
Jack : A better one!
Will: That one. [points to the Interceptor]
Jack : What one? That one?! Aye, that one. What say you?
Crew: Aye!
Cotton’s Parrot: Anchors aweigh.
Gibbs : No, no, no, no, no, it’s frightful bad luck to bring a woman aboard, sir.
Jack : It’d be far worse not to have her.
[a storm breaks upon them at sea] Will : How can we sail to an island that nobody can find with a compass that doesn’t work?
Gibbs : Aye, the compass doesn’t point north but we’re not trying to find north, are we? [to Jack ] We should drop canvas, sir.
Jack : She can hold a bit longer.
Gibbs : What’s in your head that’s put you in such a fine mood, Captain?
Jack : We’re catching up.
Scene 14: ( Jack ‘s past revealed)
[on the Pearl ] Pintel: Time to go, Poppet. [Barbossa latches the medallion around Elizabeth ‘s neck and they all sail to the cave]
Parrot: [singing as they enter a lagoon] Dead men tell no tales.
Gibbs : [the whole crew is looking at the wrecks strewn everywhere in the water] Puts a chill in the bones how many honest sailors have been claimed by this passage.
Will : [watches as Jack closes the compass when Cotton stares at him too much] How is it that Jack came by that compass?
Gibbs : Not a lot’s known about Jack Sparrow before he showed up in Tortuga with a mind to go after the treasure of the Isla de Muerta . That was before I met him, back when he was Captain of the Black Pearl.
Will: What? He failed to mention that.
Gibbs : Well, he plays things closer to the vest now. And a hard-learned lesson it was. See three days out on the venture the first mate comes to him and says everything’s an equal share. That should mean the location of the treasure, too, so Jack gives up the bearings. That night there was a mutiny. They marooned Jack on an island and left him to die but not before he’d gone mad with the heat.
Will : Ah. So that’s the reason for all the… [acts like Jack ]
Gibbs : Reason’s got nothing to do with it. Now Will , when a man is marooned he is a given a pistol with a single shot – one shot. Well it won’t do much good hunting or to be rescued. But after three weeks of a starvin’ belly and thirst, that pistol will start to look real friendly. But Jack – he escaped the island, and he still has that one shot. Oh, but he won’t use it, though, save for one man. His mutinous first mate.
Will: Barbossa.
Gibbs : Aye.
Will : How did Jack get off the island?
Gibbs : Well, I’ll tell ye. He waded out into the shallows and there he waited three days and three nights till all manner of sea creature ‘came and acclimated to his presence. And on the fourth morning, he roped himself a couple of sea turtles, lashed ’em together and made a raft.
Will : He roped a couple of sea turtles?
Gibbs : Aye, sea turtles.
Will : What did he use for rope?
Jack : [ Jack comes up] Human hair…from my back. Let go of the anchor!
Crew: Let go of the anchor, sir!
Jack : Young Mr. Turner and I are to go ashore.
Gibbs : Captain! What if the worst should happen?
Jack : Keep to the code.
Gibbs : Aye, the code.
Scene 15: (The blood ritual and Jack ‘s not dead)
Pintel: Ten years of hoarding swag.
Ragetti: And now we finally get to spend it. [they empty a trunk and it turns out to be full of ladies’ clothes; they both pick up parasols]
Pintel: Once we’re quit of the curse, we’ll be rich men. And you can buy an eye what actually fits and is made of glass.
Ragetti: This one does splinter something terrible. [rubs it]
Pintel: Stop rubbing it. [ Bo’sun walks by and rolls his eyes at them]
[in the boat] Will : [sees a skull] What Code is Gibbs to keep to if the worst should happen?
Jack : Pirate’s Code. Any man that falls behind…is left behind.
Will : No heroes amongst thieves, eh?
Jack : You know, for having such a bleak outlook on pirates you’re well on your way to becoming one. Sprung a man from jail, commandeered a ship of the Fleet, sailed with a buccaneer crew out of Tortuga [they both look at the gold on the bottom of the little river] …and you’re completely obsessed with treasure.
Will : That’s not true. I am not obsessed with treasure.
Jack : [looks in on the gathering] Not all treasure is silver and gold, mate.
Barbossa: Gentlemen, the time has come! Our salvation is nigh! Our torment is near at end.
Will: Elizabeth .
Barbossa: For ten years we’ve been tested and tried, and each man jack of you here has proved his mettle a hundred times over and a hundred times again! [the men cheer]
Ragetti: Suffered, I have.
Barbossa: Punished, we were. The lot of us disproportionate to our crimes! Here it is [throws off the chest’s lid] …the cursed treasure of Cortez himself. Every last piece that went astray, we have returned…save for this. [points to the medallion on Elizabeth ‘s neck]
Will : [scrambles up, upsetting some of the treasure] Jack !
Jack : [pulls him down] Not yet. We wait for the opportune moment.
Barbossa: 881 we found but despaired of ever finding the last.
Will : When’s that? When it’s of greatest profit to you?
Jack : May I ask you something? Have I ever given you reason not to trust me? Do us a favor – I know it’s difficult for you, but please stay here and try not to do anything stupid.
Barbossa: And who among us has paid the blood sacrifice owed to the heathen gods?
Pirates: Us!
Barbossa: And whose blood must yet be paid?
Pirates: Hers!
Barbossa: You know the first thing I’m goin’ to do after the curse is lifted? Eat a whole bushel of apples. [takes up the knife] Begun by blood…by blood undone.
Will : [hits Jack with oar] Sorry, Jack . I’m not going to be your leverage.
Elizabeth : [her palm is cut] That’s it?
Barbossa: Waste not. [drops the medallion; there is an anticipation to see if it worked]
Koehler: Did it work?
Ragetti: I don’t feel no different.
Pintel: How do we tell? [Barbossa shoots him]
Koehler: You’re not dead.
Pintel: No. He shot me!
Ragetti: It didn’t work.
Twigg: The curse it still upon us!
Barbossa: You, maid! Your father, what was his name? Was your father William Turner ?
Elizabeth : No.
Barbossa: Where’s his child? The child that sailed from England eight years ago, the child in whose veins flows the blood of William Turner . Where? [backhands her and she falls down]
Bo’sun : You two! You brought us the wrong person!
Pintel: No! She had the medallion. she’s the proper age.
Ragetti: She said her name was Turner – you heard her! [ Will motions for Elizabeth to follow him into the water; she takes the medallion with her] I think she lied to us.
Twigg: You brought us here for nothing.
Barbossa: I won’t take questioning and no second guesses, not from the likes of you, Master Twigg .
Koehler: Who’s to blame? Every decision you’ve made has led us from bad to worse.
Pirate: It was you who sent Bootstrap to the depths!
Bo’sun : And it’s you who brought us here in the first place.
Barbossa: If any coward here dare challenge me, let him speak! Hmm?
Koehler: I say, we cut her throat and spill all her blood, just in case.
Barbossa: [sees the monkey pointing] The medallion! She’s taken it! Get after her! You feckless pack of ingrates!
Pirates: No oars here. Where’s the oars?
Bo’sun : The oars have gone missing. Find them!
Ragetti: [spots Jack ] You.
Pintel: You’re supposed to be dead!
Jack : Am I not? [looks down at himself] Oh. [finds pistols pointed at him] Palulay…palu-li-la-la-lulu, parlili… parsnip, pasley, par partner, partner…
Ragetti: Parley?
Jack : Parley! That’s the one. Parley! Parley!
Pintel: Parley? Down to the depths whatever man that thought up “parley!”
Jack : That would be the French.
Scene 16: (Keeping to the code, revealing the medallion, and talk of negotiation)
Elizabeth : [boards the Interceptor] Not more pirates.
Gibbs : Welcome aboard, Miss Elizabeth .
Elizabeth : Mr. Gibbs ?
Gibbs : [Will climbs aboard] Hey, boy, where be Jack ?
Elizabeth : Jack ? Jack Sparrow ?
Will : He fell behind. [leads Elizabeth away]
Gibbs : Keep to the code.
Anamaria: Weigh anchor! Hoist the sails! Make quickly, divvies.
[in the cave] Barbossa: How the blazes did you get off that island?
Jack : When you marooned me on that godforsaken spit of land, you forgot one very important thing, mate. I’m Captain Jack Sparrow .
Barbossa: Ah, well, I won’t be making that mistake again. Gents, you all remember Captain Jack Sparrow ? Kill him. [the pirates all point their weapons at Jack ]
Jack : The girl’s blood didn’t work, did it?
Barbossa: Hold your fire! [the pirates reluctantly lower their weapons] You know whose blood we need?
Jack : I know whose blood ye need.
[in the cabin of the Interceptor] Elizabeth : [trying to bandage her palm] What sort of a man trades a man’s life for a ship?
Will: Pirate. Here. Let me. [puts on bandages]
Elizabeth : Thank you.
Will : You said you gave Barbossa my name as yours. Why?
Elizabeth : I don’t know. [she winces and pulls away]
Will : I’m sorry. Blacksmith’s hands I know they’re rough.
Elizabeth : No…I mean yes, they are but… but don’t stop.
Will: Elizabeth .
Elizabeth : [takes out medallion] It’s yours.
Will: I thought I’d lost it the day they rescued me. It was a gift from my father. He sent it to me. Why did you take it?
Elizabeth : Because I was afraid that you were a pirate. That would have been awful.
Will : It wasn’t your blood they needed. It was my father’s blood…my blood…the blood of a pirate.
Elizabeth : Will, I’m so sorry, please forgive me. [ Will slams down the medallion on the table and she leaves]
[in the Captains cabin of the Black Pearl ] 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 in my ship?
Jack : 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 : 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] Funny ol’ world, innit? [offers him an apple]
Bo’sun : [enters] Captain, we’re coming up on the Interceptor. [Barbossa goes topside]
Jack : [runs out after Barbossa and stands in front of him at the bow, blocking the view of the Interceptor] I’m having a thought here, Barbossa. What say we run up a flag of truce? I scurry over to the Interceptor, and I negotiate the return of your medallion, eh? What say you to that?
Barbossa: Now you see, Jack , that’s exactly the attitude that lost you the Pearl . People are easy to search when they’re dead. [to Bo’sun ] Lock him in the brig. [throws away Jack ‘s apple]
Scene 17: (The chase and the fight)
Gibbs : Hands aloft to loose t’gallants! With this wind at her stern, she’ll carry every sail we’ve got.
Elizabeth : [the crew is running around] What’s happening?
Anamaria: The Black Pearl, she’s gaining on us. [looks out at the Pearl ]
Elizabeth : This is the fastest ship in the Caribbean .
Anamaria: You can tell them that after they’ve caught us.
Elizabeth : We’re shallow on the draft, right?
Anamaria: Aye.
Elizabeth : Well, then can’t we lose them amongst those shoals?
Gibbs : We don’t have to outrun them long, just long enough.
Anamaria: Lighten the ship, stem to stern!
Gibbs : Anything that we can afford to lose…see that it’s lost.
[on the Black Pearl ] Jack : [is locked in the brig by Bo’sun ; he sloshes in the water] Apparently there’s a leak.
Barbossa: Haul on the main brace! Make ready the guns! And run out the sweeps. [the gun ports are opened and the Jolly Roger is hoisted up]
[on the Interceptor, barrels are tossed over the side] Will : [looks out at the Black Pearl and sees the oars; stops a cannon from being thrown off] We’re gonna need that.
Anamaria: [sees the oars] It was a good plan…up ’till now.
Will: Gibbs ! We have to make a stand. We must fight! Load the guns!
Anamaria: With what?
Will: Anything. Everything! Anything we have left.
Gibbs : Load the guns! Take shot and langrage. Nails and crushed glass! With a will! [they stuff cutlery and other assorted items into the cannons including Gibbs ‘ canteen] The Pearl is going to luff up on our port quarter. She’ll rake us without ever presenting a target.
Elizabeth : Lower the anchor on the right side. On the starboard side!
Will : It certainly has the element of surprise.
Anamaria: You’re daft, lady! You both are!
Gibbs : Daft like Jack ! Lower the starboard anchor! Do it, ye dogs, or it’s you we’ll load into the cannons! [the anchor is lowered]
Elizabeth : [to Anamaria] Let go. [she lets go of the wheel and the ship swings about]
Barbossa: They’re clubhaulin’! Hard to port! Rack the starboard oars.
Bo’sun : Hard to port! [the two ships come up side by side]
Will : Keep us steady now. Now!
Barbossa: Fire!
Elizabeth : Fire all! [the ships exchange cannon fire]
Jack : [a whole is blown in the hull] Stop blowing holes in my ship! [notices that the shot from the cannon destroyed the lock on the cell door]
Gibbs : We could use a few more ideas, lass.
Elizabeth : Your turn.
Gibbs : We need us a devil’s dowry.
Anamaria: We’ll give them her. [points her pistol at Elizabeth ]
Will : She’s not what they’re after.
Elizabeth : [notices that it’s not at her throat] The medallion. [ Will goes to search for it below]
Barbossa: Raise yer colors ya bloomin’ cockroaches! Hands, grapnels, at the ready. Prepare to board! [Ragetti and Pintel fire a shot that severs the mast and it falls over; grapple hooks are thrown as pirates board the Interceptor] Blast all to carcasses, men! Forward clear to the powder magazine. And the rest of you, bring me the medallion! [pirates board the Interceptor]
Will : [is trapped when the mast falls] Hey! Hey! Below!
Jack : [emerges from the hold and takes a rope from a pirate] Thanks very much. [swings onto the Interceptor]
Gibbs : Jack !
Jack : [hands him canteen] Bloody empty. [helps Elizabeth ] That’s not very nice. Where’s the medallion?
Elizabeth : Wretch! [is about to slap him]
Jack : [catches her wrist] Ahh. Where’s dear William ?
Elizabeth : Will … [sees him under a grate] Will!
Will: Elizabeth !
Jack : [sees monkey with medallion] Monkey! [runs after it]
Elizabeth : I can’t move it. [is dragged away] Will!
Will: Elizabeth !
Barbossa: [gets medallion from monkey] Why, thank you, Jack .
Jack : You’re welcome.
Barbossa: Not you. We named the monkey ” Jack .” Gents, our hope is restored! [the pirates ignite the powder leading to the collection of powder kegs while Will struggles to escape the cabin that is full of water]
