Scene 19: (Marooned again)
Jack : [looks back at the Pearl ; wades out onto the beach shaking off the ropes that bound his wrists] That’s the second time I’ve had to watch that man sail away with my ship.
Elizabeth : [follows Jack as he walks] But you were marooned on this island before, weren’t you? So we can escape in the same way you did then.
Jack : To what point and purpose, young missy? The Black Pearl is gone and unless you have a rudder and a lot of sails hidden in that bodice – unlikely - young Mr. Turner will be dead long before you can reach him.
Elizabeth : [follows him as he knocks on a tree trunk then takes four steps and jumps up and down a few times] But you’re Captain Jack Sparrow . You vanished from under the eyes of seven agents of the East India Company. You sacked Nassau Port without even firing a shot. Are you the pirate I’ve read about or not? How did you escape last time?
Jack : Last time…I was here a grand total of three days, all right? Last time [opens a secret cellar door] …the rumrunners used this island as a cache. Came by, and I was able to barter a passage off. From the looks of things, they’ve long been out of business. Probably…have your bloody friend Norrington to thank for that. [climbs out with two bottles of rum in his hands]
Elizabeth : So that’s it then? That’s the secret grand adventure of the infamous Jack Sparrow ? You spent three days lying on a beach, drinking rum?!
Jack : Welcome to the Caribbean , love. [hands her a bottle]
Elizabeth and Jack : [singing and dancing around a fire] We're devils and black sheep and really bad eggs. Drink up me 'earties yo ho! Yo ho, yo ho a pirate's life for me.
Jack : I love this song! Really bad eggs! Ooh. [falls] When I get the Pearl back, I’m gonna teach it to the whole crew, and we’ll sing it all the time!
Elizabeth : And you’ll be positively the most fearsome pirate in the Spanish Main .
Jack : Not just the Spanish Main , love. The entire ocean. The entire wo’ld. Wherever we want to go, we’ll go. That’s what a ship is, you know. It’s not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails that's what a ship needs but what a ship is…what the Black Pearl really is…is freedom.
Elizabeth : Jack …it must be really terrible for you to be trapped on this island.
Jack : Oh, yes. [puts his arm around her shoulder] But the company is infinitely better than last time, I think. The scenery has definitely improved.
Elizabeth : Mr. Sparrow …I’m not entirely sure that I’ve had enough rum to allow that kind of talk.
Jack : I know exactly what you mean, love. [curls his moustache]
Elizabeth : [toasts] To freedom.
Jack : To the Black Pearl . [drinks and loses consciousness; wakes in the morning to the smell of smoke; sees the island burning and runs to Elizabeth ] No! Not good! Stop! Not good! What are you doing? You burned all the food, the shade! The rum!
Elizabeth : Yes, the rum is gone.
Jack : Why is the rum gone?
Elizabeth : One, because it is a vile drink that turns even the most respectable men into complete scoundrels. Two, that signal is over a thousand feet high. The entire Royal Navy is out looking for me, do you really think that there is even the slightest chance that they won’t see it?
Jack : But why is the rum gone?
Elizabeth : [she sits to stare at the horizon] Just wait, Captain Sparrow. You give it one hour, maybe two, keep a weather eye out and then you will see white sails on that horizon.
Jack : [takes out pistol, thinks better of it and puts it back, stalks off, imitates Elizabeth ] “Must’ve been terrible for you to be trapped here, Jack . Must’ve been terrible for you.” Well it bloody is now! [spots the Dauntless] There’ll be no living with her after this.
