Scene 20: (A future wedding and Bootstrap’s bootstraps)
Elizabeth : But we’ve got to save Will .
Governor Swann : No. You’re safe now. We will return to Port Royal immediately, not go gallivanting after pirates!
Elizabeth : Then we condemn him to death.
Governor Swann : The boy’s fate is regrettable, but, then, so was his decision to engage in piracy.
Elizabeth : To rescue me. To prevent anything from happening to me.
Jack : If I may be so bold as to inject my professional opinion. The Pearl was listing near to scuppers after the battle. It’s very unlikely she’ll be able to make good time. Think about it. The Black Pearl . The last real pirate threat in the Caribbean , mate. How can you pass that up?
Norrington: By remembering that I serve others, Mr. Sparrow , not only myself.
Elizabeth : Commodore, I beg you, please do this. For me. As a wedding gift.
Governor Swann : Elizabeth . Are you accepting the Commodore’s proposal?
Elizabeth : I am.
Jack : A wedding! I love weddings…drinks all around! [extends his arms] I know. “Clap him in irons,” right?
Norrington: Mr. Sparrow , you will accompany these fine men to the helm and provide us with the bearing to 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?
Jack : Inescapably clear.
[in the brig of the Black Pearl ; Pintel and Ragetti are swabbing the floor] Parrot: Awwk, shiver me timbers.
Gibbs : Cotton ‘ere says you missed a bit.
Will : [to Pintel] You knew William Turner ?
Pintel: Ol’ Bootstrap Bill . We knew him. Never sat well with Bootstrap what we did to Jack Sparrow , the mutiny and all. He said it wasn’t right with the Code. That’s why he sent off a piece of the treasure to you as it were. He said we deserved to be cursed… and remain cursed.
Ragetti: Stupid blighter.
Gibbs : Good man.
Pintel: Well, as you can imagine that didn’t sit too well with the Captain.
Ragetti: That didn’t sit too well with the Captain, at all. Tell him what Barbossa did.
Pintel: I’m telling the story! So…what the Captain did, he strapped a cannon to Bootstraps’ bootstraps.
Ragetti: Bootstraps’ bootstraps.
Pintel: The last we saw of ol’ Bill Turner , he was sinking to the crushing black oblivion of Davy Jones’ Locker. ‘Course it was only after that we learned we needed his blood to lift the curse.
Ragetti: That’s what you call ironic.
Barbossa: [comes down and throws the key to Will ’s cell to Ragetti] Bring him!
[in a boat with the rest of the soldiers and Jack ] Norrington: I don’t care for the situation. Any attempt to storm the caves could turn to an ambush.
Jack : Not if you’re the one doing the ambushing. I go in, I convince Barbossa to send his men out with their little boats. You and your mates return to the Dauntless and blast the bejesus outta them with your little cannons, eh? [puts an arm on Norrington’s shoulder] What do you have to lose?
Norrington: [peels off the arm] Nothing I’d lament being rid of.
Jack : Now, to be quite honest with you, there’s still a slight risk for those aboard the Dauntless which includes the future Mrs. Commodore .
[on the Dauntless] Gillette : [pulling Elizabeth along with another soldier] Sorry, but for your own safety.
Elizabeth : Coward the commodore ordered - I have to tell him ! The pirates ! They 're cused ! They cannot be killed!
Gillette : Don’t worry, miss, he’s already informed of that. A little mermaid flopped up on deck and told him the whole story. [shuts the doors]
Elizabeth : This is Jack Sparrow ’s doing! [she is locked in]
