Governor Weatherby Swann
- Governor Swann: So, this is the path you've chosen? After all, he is a blacksmith.
- Elizabeth: No.
- [pause]
- Elizabeth: He's a pirate.
- Governor Swann: Hang him.
- Norrington: Keep your guns on him, men. Gillette, fetch some irons.
- [Pulls up Jack's sleeve]
- Norrington: Well, well, well Jack Sparrow, isn't it?
- Jack Sparrow: Captain Jack Sparrow, if you please sir.
- Norrington: I don't see your ship, Captain.
- Jack Sparrow: I'm in the market, as it were.
- Young Elizabeth: I think it'd be rather exciting to meet a pirate.
- Norrington: Think again, Miss Swann. Vile and dissolute creatures, the lot of them. I intend to see that any man who sails under a pirate flag or wears a pirate brand gets what he deserves: a short drop and a sudden stop.
- Mr. Gibbs: [Mr. Gibbs poses as if he's been hanged]
- Governor Swann: Lt. Norrington, I appreciate your fervor, but I'm concerned about the effect this subject will have upon my daughter.
- Norrington: My apologies, Gov. Swann.
- Young Elizabeth: Actually, I find it all fascinating.
- Governor Swann: Yes. That's what concerns me.
- Town Clerk: Jack Sparrow.
- Jack Sparrow: Captain... Captain Jack Sparrow.
- Town Clerk: ...for your willful commission of crime against the crown. Those crimes being numerous in quantity and sinister in nature...
- Elizabeth: This is wrong...
- Governor Swann: Commodore Norrington 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, heh heh
- Town Clerk: ...arson; kidnapping; perjury; piracy; pilfering; deprivation of a Federal Loyalist. For these crimes you will be hung by the neck until dead. May God have mercy on your soul.
- Elizabeth: I had a dream about you last night.
- Will Turner: About me?
- Governor Swann: Elizabeth, is that entirely proper for you to c...
- Elizabeth: About the day we met. Do you remember?
- [Elizabeth is being laced into a corset]
- Governor Swann: Elizabeth, how's it coming?
- Elizabeth: It's difficult to say.
- Governor Swann: I'm told it's the latest fashion in London.
- Elizabeth: Well, women in London must have learned not to breathe.
- Norrington: You forget your place, Turner.
- Will Turner: It's right here. Between you and Jack.
- Elizabeth: As is mine.
- Governor Swann: Elizabeth. Lower your weapons. For goodness sake, put them down.
- Norrington: So, this is where your heart truly lies, then?
- Elizabeth: It is.
- Elizabeth: [Elizabeth and Jack have just been rescued from the rumrunners' island] But we've got to save Will!
- Governor Swann: No! You're safe now. We will return to Port Royal immediately, not go gallivating after pirates!
- Elizabeth: Then we comdemn him to death!
- Governor Swann: The boy's fate *is* regrettable... but then, so was his decision to engage in piracy.
- Governor Swann: Do pass my compliments on to your master.
- Will Turner: I shall.
- [pauses]
- Will Turner: A craftsman is always proud to hear his work is appreciated.
