[edit] Captain Jack Sparrow

  • [repeated line] This is the day that you will always remember as the day that you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow.
  • Why is the rum gone?
  • [During the Black Pearl's battle with the HMS Interceptor, after a cannonball from the Interceptor smashes into the Pearl] Stop blowing holes in my ship!
  • Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for. Because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly... stupid.
  • Not all treasure's silver and gold, mate.
  • [to Will Turner, concerning the proper time to declare his love for Elizabeth] If you were waiting for the opportune moment... that was it.
  • A wedding? I love weddings! Drinks all around!
  • When you marooned me on that god forsaken spit of land, you forgot one very important thing, mate; I'm Captain Jack Sparrow.
  • [Last line] Now, bring me that horizon... [hums "A Pirate's Life for Me"] ...and really bad eggs...drink up, me hearties, yo ho!
  • [In attempting to 'commandeer' the ship with Will] Everybody stay calm, we are taking over the ship!
  • Son...I'm Captain Jack Sparrow, savvy?
  • [When guards catch him at the docks and tell him that the area is off limits to civilians] If I see one, I shall inform you immediately!

[edit] Captain Hector Barbossa

  • First, your return to shore was not part of our negotiations nor our agreement so I 'must' do nothing. And secondly, you must be a pirate for the pirate's code to apply and you're not. And thirdly, the code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules. Welcome aboard the Black Pearl, Miss Turner .
  • For too long I've been parched of thirst and unable to quench it! Too long I've been starvin' to death and haven't died! I feel nothing! Not the wind on my face, nor the spray of the sea... nor the warmth of a woman's flesh. Ye'd best start believin' in ghost stories, Miss Turner. Yer in one!
  • [When Jack proposes raising a flag of truce and negotiating with the Interceptor] No, you see Jack, that's exactly the attitude that lost you the Pearl. People are easy to search when they're dead.
  • I must admit, Jack, I thought I had you figured. But it turns out you're a hard man to predict.
  • Yer off the edge of the map, mate! Here, there be monsters!
  • So what now, Jack Sparrow?! Are we to be two immortals locked in epic battle until Judgement Day and trumpets sound, hmm?
  • [His last line as he dies] I feel...cold.

[edit] Commodore James Norrington

  • I intend to see to it that any man who sails under a pirate flag or wears a pirate brand gets what he deserves: a short drop and sudden stop.
  • [When Jack asks him how he can pass up the personal glory that he would likely gain from breaking his orders and pursuing the Black Pearl] By remembering that I serve others, Mr. Sparrow, not only myself.
  • One good deed is not enough to save a man from a lifetime of wickeness.
  • Mr. Sparrow, you will accompany these fine men to the helm and provide us a bearing to the Isla de Muerta. You will then spend the rest of the voyage contemplating all possible meanings of the phrase, "silent as the grave." Do I make myself clear?
  • [to William] This is a beautiful sword. I would expect the man that made it to show the same care and devotion in every aspect of his life.

[edit] William Turner

  • [to Elizabeth] It's not your blood they needed..it was my father's blood, my blood...the blood of a pirate.
  • Elizabeth, I should have told you every day from the moment I met you...I love you.

[edit] Dialogue

Barbossa: [after the monkey gives him the medallion] Why, thank ye Jack.
Jack Sparrow: You're welcome.
Barbossa: Oh, not you. We named the monkey Jack.
Jack Sparrow: I know those guns! [looks out the window] ... It's the Pearl.
Prisoner: The Black Pearl? I've 'eard stories. She's been preyin' on ships and settlements for near ten years. Never leaves any survivors.
Jack Sparrow: No survivors? Then where do the stories come from, I wonder?
Murtogg: This dock is off-limits to civilians.
Jack Sparrow: I'm terribly sorry, I didn't know. If I see one, I shall inform you immediately. [attempts to continue walking, but is blocked by Murtogg and Mullroy] Apparently there's some sort of high-toned and fancy to-do up at the fort, eh? How could it be that two upstanding gentlemen, such as yourselves, did not merit an invitation?
Murtogg: Someone's got to make sure that this dock stays off-limits to civilians.
Jack Sparrow: It's a fine goal, to be sure. But it seems to me... that a ship like that one, makes this one here seem a bit superfluous, really.
Murtogg: Oh, the Dauntless is the power in these waters, true enough. But there's no ship as can match the Interceptor for speed.
Jack Sparrow: I've heard of one, supposed to be very fast, nigh uncatchable: the Black Pearl.
Mullroy: [laughs] Well, there's no real ship as can match the Interceptor.
Murtogg: The Black Pearl is a real ship.
Mullroy: No, it's not.
Murtogg: Yes it is, I've seen it.
Mullroy: You've seen it?
Murtogg: Yes.
Mullroy: You haven't seen it.
Murtogg: Yes, I have.
Mullroy: You've seen a ship with black sails that's crewed by the damned, and captained by a man so evil that Hell itself spat him back out?
Murtogg: No.
Mullroy: No.
Murtogg: But I have seen a ship with black sails.
[Jack quietly slips passed them unnoticed]
Mullroy: Oh, and no ship that's not crewed by the damned and captained by a man so evil that Hell itself spat him back out could possibly have black sails, therefore couldn't possibly be any other ship than the Black Pearl. Is that what you're telling me?
Murtogg: [nods] No.
Mullroy: Like I said, there's no real ship as can match the Interceptor-
Mullroy: [Seeing Sparrow on the Interceptor] Oi! You! Get away from there! You don't have permission to be aboard there, mate!
[Murtogg and Mullroy run to and board the Interceptor, aiming their rifles at Sparrow]
Jack Sparrow: I'm sorry, it's just such a pretty boat. Ship!
Mullroy: What's your name?
Jack Sparrow: Smith. Or Smithy, if you'd like.
Mullroy: What's your purpose in Port Royal, Mr. Smith?
Murtogg: Yeah, and no lies!
Jack Sparrow: Well, then, I confess. It is my intention to commandeer one of these ships, pick up a crew in Tortuga, raid, pillage, plunder and otherwise pilfer my weaselly black guts out.
Murtogg: I said "no lies"!
Mullroy: I think he's telling the truth.
Murtogg: If he was telling the truth, he wouldn't have told us.
Jack Sparrow: Unless of course, he knew you wouldn't believe the truth even if he told it to you.
James Norrington: Well, well. Jack Sparrow, isn't it?
Jack Sparrow: Captain Jack Sparrow.
James Norrington: I don't see your ship, Captain.
Jack Sparrow: I'm in the market, as it were.
Murtogg: He said he's come to commandeer one.
Mullroy: I told you he was telling the truth. [hands Norrington Jack's effects] These are his, sir.
James Norrington: No additional shot, nor powder. [opens Jack's compass] A compass that doesn't point north. [smirks; partially un-sheaths Jack's sword] And I half expected it to be made of wood. [re-sheaths the sword] You are, without doubt, the worst pirate I've ever heard of.
Jack Sparrow: [proudly] But you have heard of me.
Elizabeth Swann: Commodore, I really must protest! Pirate or not, this man saved my life.
James Norrington: One good deed is not enough to save a man from a lifetime of wickedness.
Jack Sparrow: Though it seems enough to condemn him.
James Norrington: Indeed!
[during their duel]
Jack Sparrow: Who makes all these?
William Turner: I do. And I practice with them... three hours a day.
Jack Sparrow: You need to find yourself a girl, mate.
Will Turner: [After just being beaten by Jack Sparrow] You cheated!
Jack Sparrow: [Smugly] Pirate!
Grapple:(about to kill Will) Say goodbye!

(a sign swings down into Grapple sending him through a shop window)

Will Turner: Goodbye.
Elizabeth: Captain Barbossa , I am here to negotiate the cessation of hostilities against Port Royal .
Barbossa: There are a lot of long words in there, Miss; we're naught but humble pirates. What is it that you want?
Elizabeth: I want you to leave and never come back.
Barbossa: I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request. Means "no".
Elizabeth: Very well. I'll drop it. [dangles medallion over the sea]
Barbossa: Me holds are burstin' with swag. That bit of shine matters to us? Why?
Elizabeth: It's what you've been searching for. I recognized the ship. I saw it eight years ago on the crossing from England.
Barbossa: Did ya, now?
Elizabeth: Fine. Well, I suppose if it is worthless then there's no point in me keeping it.
[It drops a bit from her hand, and the pirates, including Barbossa, lunge forward.]
Barbossa: No! [in sudden realization of his actions] Ah...
[Elizabeth smiles smugly.]
Barbossa: You have a name, Missy?
Elizabeth: Elizabeth... Turner. I'm a maid in the Governor's household.
Barbossa: Miss Turner...? [turns to face the pirates]
Pintel: [to Raggetti] Bootstrap.
Barbossa: And how does a maid come to own a trinket such as that? Family heirloom, perhaps?
Elizabeth: I didn't steal it, if that's what you mean.
Barbossa: Very well, you hand it over and we'll put your town to our rudder and ne'er return.
Elizabeth: [she hands it over] Our bargain?
[Barbossa walks away from her.]
Bo'sun: Still the guns and stow 'em, Signal the men, set the flags and make good to clear port.
Elizabeth: [runs after Barbossa] Wait! You have to take me to shore. According to the Code of the Order of the Brethren-
Barbossa: First, your return to shore was not part of our negotiations nor our agreement so I must do nothing. And secondly, you must be a pirate for the pirate's code to apply and you're not. And thirdly, the code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules. Welcome aboard the Black Pearl, Miss Turner.
Jack Sparrow: [referring to Elizabeth] This girl, how far are you willing to go to save her?
William Turner: I'd die for her.
Jack Sparrow: Oh, good! No worries then.
William Turner: I can get you out of here. (refering to prison)
Jack Sparrow: How's that? The key's run off.
William Turner: You knew my father.
Jack Sparrow: I knew him. Probably one of the few who knew him as William Turner. Everyone else just called him "Bootstrap" or "Bootstrap Bill".
William Turner: "Bootstrap"?
Jack Sparrow: Good man, good pirate. I swear you look just like him.
William Turner: That's not true. He was a merchant sailor.
Jack Sparrow: He was a bloody pirate! A scallywag.
William Tuner: My father was not a pirate! (threatens Jack with a sword)
Jack Sparrow: Put it away, son. It's not worth you getting beat again.
William Turner: You didn't beat me. You ignored the rules of engagement! In a fair fight, I'd kill you!
Jack Sparrow: Well, that's not much incentive for me to fight fair then, is it?
Jack Sparrow: Don't be alarmed, we're taking over the ship.
Will Turner: (lunges with sword) AYE! AVAST!(Jack Sparrow stares at im inrediculously and British sailors burst out laughing)
Jack Sparrow: You, sailor.
Mr. Gibbs: Cotton, sir.
Jack Sparrow: 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 says nothing] Mr. Cotton! Answer, man!
Mr. 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 Sparrow: Mr. Cotton's... parrot. Same question.
Parrot: Wind in the sails! Wind in the sails!
Mr. Gibbs: Mostly, we figure that means "yes".
Jack Sparrow: Of course it does. [to Will] Satisfied?
Will Turner: Well, you've proven they're mad.
[Jack arrives and interrupts Will's execution ritual]
William Turner: Jack?
Hector Barbossa: It's not possible.
Jack Sparrow: Not probable.
William Turner: Where is Elizabeth?
Jack Sparrow: She's safe, just like I promised. She's all set to marry Norrington, just like she promised. And you get to die for her, just like you promised. So we're all men of our word, really... except for Elizabeth, who is, in fact, a woman.
Hector Barbossa: Shut up! You're next!
Hector Barbossa: So what now, Jack Sparrow? Are we going to have two immortals locked in an epic battle until Judgment Day and trumpets sound?
Jack Sparrow: Or you could surrender...
Town Clerk: Jack Sparrow,..
Jack Sparrow: Captain! Captain Jack Sparrow.
Town Clerk: ...for your willful commision of crime against the crown. Those crimes being numerous in quantity and sinister in nature...
Elizabeth Swann: This is wrong.
Governer Swann: Commodore Norington is bound by the law, as are we all.
Town Clerk: ...impersonating an officer of the Royal Navy; impersonating a clergy of the Church of England...
Jack Sparrow: Oh yeah, ha hah.
James Norrington: You forget your place, Turner.
William Turner: It's right here. Between you and Jack.
Elizabeth Swann: As is mine.
Governor Swann: Elizabeth. Lower your weapons. For goodness sake, put them down.
James Norrington: So, this is where your heart truly lies, then?
Elizabeth Swann: It is.
Jack Sparrow: Well! I'm actually feeling rather good about this. I think we all arrived at a very special place eh? Spiritually. Ecumenically. Grammatically. [to Norrington] I want you to know that I was rooting for you, mate. Know that. [to Elizabeth] Elizabeth. It would never have worked out between us, darling. I'm sorry. [to Will] Will. Nice hat. [to all] Gentlemen, this will be the day you will always remember as the day you- [falls off the ledge]
