Quotes17

  • Jack Sparrow: Anamaria.
  • [Anamaria slaps Jack]
  • Will Turner: I suppose, you didn't deserve that one either?
  • Jack Sparrow: No, that one I deserved.
  • Anamaria: You stole my boat!
  • Jack Sparrow: Actually...
  • Anamaria: [Anamaria slaps Jack again]
  • Jack Sparrow: Borrowed... borrowed without permission, but with every intention of bringing it back.
  • Anamaria: But you didn't!
  • Jack Sparrow: You'll get another one.
  • Anamaria: I will.
  • Will Turner: A better one.
  • Jack Sparrow: A better one.
  • Will Turner: That one.
  • Jack Sparrow: What one?
  • Will Turner: [Will looks at the Interceptor]
  • Jack Sparrow: That one? Aye, that one. What say you to that?
  • The Crew: Aye!
  • Mr. Gibbs: No, it's frightful bad luck to have a woman aboard.
  • Jack Sparrow: It would be far worse not to have her.
  • [Jack throws a bucket of water on sleeping Gibbs]
  • Mr. Gibbs: Curse you for breathin' ya slack-jawed idiot. Mother's love. Jack. You should know better than to wake a man when he's sleepin'. Its bad luck.
  • Jack Sparrow: Fortunately, I know how to counter it; the man who did the waking buys the man who was sleeping a drink; the man who was sleeping drinks it while listening to a proposition from the man who did the waking.
  • Mr. Gibbs: Aye, that'll about do it.
  • [Will throws more water on Mr. Gibbs]
  • Mr. Gibbs: Blast! I'm already awake!
  • Will Turner: That was for the smell.
  • [shouting during severe storm]
  • Will Turner: How can we sail to an island that nobody can find with a compass that doesn't work?
  • Mr. Gibbs: Aye, the compass doesn't point North. But we're not trying to find North, are we?
  • [toasting to their new partnership]
  • Jack Sparrow: Take what ye can!
  • Mr. Gibbs: Give nothin' back!
  • Mr. Gibbs: Then, on the fourth day, he roped himself a couple of sea turtles, lashed 'em together and made a raft.
  • Will Turner: He roped a couple of sea turtles.
  • Mr. Gibbs: Aye. Sea turtles.
  • Will Turner: What did he use for rope?
  • Jack Sparrow: [from beside them] Human hair.
  • [pause]
  • Jack Sparrow: From my back.
  • 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.
  • Jack Sparrow: I thought you were supposed to keep to the code.
  • Mr. Gibbs: We figured they were more actual guidelines.
  • [first lines]
  • Young Elizabeth: [singing] Yo, ho, yo, ho/ a pirate's life for me/ Yo, ho, yo, ho/ it's a pirate's life for me/drink up me hearties, yo, ho...
  • Mr. Gibbs: [surprises her by coming up from behind her] Quiet, missy! Cursed pirates sail these waters. You want to call them down on us?
  • Norrington: [sharply] Mr. Gibbs, that will do!
  • Mr. Gibbs: She was singing about pirates. Bad luck to sing about pirates, with us mired in this unnatural fog... mark my words!
  • Norrington: Consider them marked.
  • Mr. Gibbs: 'Aye, Lieutenant.
  • [as he moves off]
  • Mr. Gibbs: Bad luck to have a woman on board, too. Even a miniature one.
  • Elizabeth: Lower the anchor on the right side.
  • Anamaria: [looks stunned]
  • Elizabeth: On the starboard side!
  • Will Turner: It has the element of surprise.
  • Anamaria: You're daft lady. You both are!
  • Mr. Gibbs: Daft like Jack.
  • [turns to the crew]
  • Mr. Gibbs: Lower the starboard anchor!
  • [crew looks reluctant]
  • Mr. Gibbs: Do it you gobs! Or it's you we'll load into the cannons.
  • 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?
  • [pause]
  • Jack Sparrow: 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: [squawk] Wind in the sails. Wind in the sails.
  • Mr. Gibbs: Mostly, we figure, that means 'yes.'
  • Anamaria: You're daft, lady! You both are!
  • Mr. Gibbs: Daft like Jack.
  • Mr. Gibbs: The kid's a bit of a stick, isn't he?
  • Jack Sparrow: You have no idea.
  • Mr. Gibbs: We should drop canvas, sir.
  • Jack Sparrow: She can hold a bit longer.
  • Mr. Gibbs: What's in your head, Captain, that puts you in such a fine mood?
  • Jack Sparrow: We're catching up.
  • Young Elizabeth: Boy! There's a boy in the water!
  • [Everyone leans over and sees an unconscious Will]
  • Norrington: MAN OVERBOARD! Haul him in.
  • [They pull Will aboard]
  • Norrington: [sighs] He's still breathing.
  • Mr. Gibbs: Mary, mother of God!
  • [Everyone looks in the distance, where a destroyed British ship is in flames]
  • Mr. Gibbs: Leverage, says you. I think I feel a change in the wind, says I.
  • Parrot: Shiver me timbers.
  • Mr. Gibbs: Cotton 'ere says you missed a bit.
  • Mr. Gibbs: Curse ya for breathin', ya slack-jawed idiot!
