PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MAN'S CHEST Written by Ted Elliott & Terry Rossio Transcript by Nikki M, Dorothy/silentpawz, Jerome S, Tobias K & Courtney VP. [view looking straight down at rolling swells, sound of wind and thunder, then a low heartbeat] PORT ROYAL [teacups on a table in the rain] [sheet music on music stands in the rain] [bouquet of white orchids, Elizabeth sitting in the rain holding the bouquet] [men rowing, men on horseback, to the sound of thunder] [EITC logo on flag blowing in the wind] [many rowboats are entering the harbor] [Elizabeth sitting alone, at a distance] [marines running, kick a door in] [a mule is seen on the left in the barn where the marines enter] [Liz looking over her shoulder] [Elizabeth drops her bouquet] [Will is in manacles, being escorted by red coats] ELIZABETH SWANN Will...! [Elizabeth runs to Will] ELIZABETH SWANN Why is this happening? WILL TURNER I don't know. You look beautiful. ELIZABETH SWANN I think it's bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding. [marines cross their long axes to bar Governor from entering] [Beckett, in white hair and curls, is standing with Mercer] LORD CUTLER BECKETT Governor Weatherby Swann, it's been too long. LORD CUTLER BECKETT His Lord now... actually. LORD CUTLER BECKETT In fact, I *do*. Mister Mercer! The warrant for the arrest of one William Turner. LORD CUTLER BECKETT Oh, is it? That's annoying. My mistake. Arrest her. ELIZABETH SWANN On what charges? WILL TURNER No! [Beckett takes another document from Mercer, who is standing with Beckett, craggy face and pony tail] LORD CUTLER BECKETT Ah-ha! Here's the one for William Turner. And I have another one for a Mister James Norrington. Is he present? ELIZABETH SWANN *What are the charges?* LORD CUTLER BECKETT I don't believe that's the answer to the question I asked. WILL TURNER Lord Beckett! In the category of questions *not* answered... ELIZABETH SWANN We are under the jurisdiction of the King's governor of Port Royal, and you will tell us what we are charged with. LORD CUTLER BECKETT For which the punishment, regrettably, is *also* death. Perhaps you remember a certain pirate named Jack Sparrow. ELIZABETH SWANN *Captain* Jack Sparrow. LORD CUTLER BECKETT Captain Jack Sparrow. Yes, I thought you might. BLACK PEARL [views of rigging ropes and blocks aboard a ship at night] [Gibbs walks the deck alone at night, singing and drinking from a bottle] GIBBS Fifteen men on a dead man's chest. Yo ho ho, and a *bottle* of rum. Drink and the devil had done for the rest. Yo ho ho, and a *bottle* of rum. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! [a bell tolls, Gibbs is interrupted from his drinking by the sound] [Gibbs looks up to see a flock of crows flying in the foggy night sky] TURKISH PRISON [tolling of bells, camera pans to show the crows flying toward a coastal island] [pinnacle-like island off the coast at night, connected to the mainland by thin, lighted bridge] [cages with men inside line the bridge] [prisoners are being marched across the bridge] [a male prisoner with bloody legs is muttering, and is dragged across the bridge by guards] [a crow is seen reflected in the eye of one male prisoner in a cage, the crow attacks and pecks his eye out, he screams] [the prisoner who was being dragged is taken down a hatch-like door in the ground, he also screams] [rocky shoreline, lit with torches] [men toss caskets into the sea] [numerous caskets are floating out to sea, vertical streaks in the distant clouds are seen] [a crow lands on one casket, begins pecking at the top] [sudden gunblast from inside the casket blows the crow away, along with much wood] [hand holding flintlock pistol emerges, pans about, points it at audience for a moment] [Jack breaks out of the top of the casket, puts his captain's hat on] JACK SPARROW Sorry, mate. [Jack breaks the skeleton's leg off] JACK SPARROW Mind if we make a little side trip? I didn't think so. [Jack uses the skeleton leg as an oar, rows toward the full moon and a waiting ship in the distance to the right of the moon] BLACK PEARL [Jack arrives at the Black Pearl in his coffin rowboat] [Gibbs holds out his hand to help Jack aboard, Jack puts the skeleton leg in Gibbs' hand] [Cotton drapes a coat onto Jack's back] GIBBS Not *quite* according to plan. JACK SPARROW Complications arose, ensued, were overcome. GIBBS You got what you went in for, then? JACK SPARROW Mm-hmm! GIBBS Captain, I think the crew, meaning me as well, were expecting something a bit more... *shiny*. What with the Isla de Muerta going all pear shaped, reclaimed by the sea, and the treasure with it. LEECH And the Royal Navy chasing us all around the Atlantic. MARTY And the hurricane! Aye. CREW Aye. Aye. GIBBS All in all, it's seems some time since we did a speck of honest pirating. JACK SPARROW Shiny? GIBBS Aye, shiny. JACK SPARROW Is that how you're all feeling, then? Perhaps dear old Jack is not serving your best interests as captain? COTTON'S PARROT Awk! Walk the plank! [Jack grabs his pistol and points it at the bird] JACK SPARROW What did the bird say? LEECH Do not blame the bird. Show us what is on that piece of cloth there. [the monkey snarls, seizes the cloth, scampers off with it] JACK SPARROW Ohhh! [Jack attempts to shoot the monkey with his pistol, his pistol misfires] [Jack grabs a pistol from another crewman and blasts the monkey while it's on the deck] [the monkey drops the cloth, but is unharmed, and scurries into the rigging] GIBBS Know that don't do no good. JACK SPARROW It does me. [Marty picks up the cloth that the monkey dropped] MARTY It's a key! JACK SPARROW No! Much more better. It is a *drawing* of a key. [Jack holds up the cloth, the crew crowd forward] [Among the crew: Chinese man, black man with a black beard, white bearded man with large black hat] JACK SPARROW Gentlemen, what do keys do? LEECH Keys... unlock... *things*? GIBBS And whatever this key unlocks, *inside* there's something valuable. So, we're setting out to find whatever this key unlocks! JACK SPARROW No! If we don't have the key, we can't open whatever it is we don't have that it unlocks. So what purpose would be served in finding whatever need be unlocked, which we don't have, without first having found the key what unlocks it? GIBBS So - We're going after this key! JACK SPARROW You're not making any sense at all. Any more questions? MARTY So... Do we have a heading? JACK SPARROW Hah! A heading. Set sail in a... mmm... a general... in *that* way - direction. GIBBS Cap'n? JACK SPARROW Come on, snap to and make sail, you know how this works. Come on, ?oy/?quick, ?oy/?quick, hey! [Marty and Gibbs gather alone by the railing] MARTY Have you noticed lately... The captain seems to be actin' a bit strange... -er. GIBBS Settin' sail without knowing his own headin'? Somethin's got Jack vexed. Mark my words, what bodes ill for Jack Sparrow bodes ill for us all. [the Black Pearl is shown at night in a thunderstorm] PORT ROYAL: EITC HEADQUARTERS [a painter is painting a detail on a mural of a world map] [a guard brings Will in manacles into Beckett's office] GUARD Lord Beckett. The prisoner as ordered, Sir. LORD CUTLER BECKETT Those won't be necessary. [Will's manacles are removed] [Beckett pours some liquor] LORD CUTLER BECKETT The East India Trading Company has need of your services. We wish for you to act as our agent in a business transaction with our mutual friend: Captain Sparrow. WILL TURNER More acquaintance than friend. How do you know him? LORD CUTLER BECKETT We've had dealings in the past. And we've each left our mark... on the other. WILL TURNER What mark did he leave on you? LORD CUTLER BECKETT By your efforts Jack Sparrow was set free. I would like you to go to him, and recover a certain property in his possession. WILL TURNER Recover. At the point of a sword? LORD CUTLER BECKETT *Bargain*! [Beckett goes over to a wooden box on a table and opens it] LORD CUTLER BECKETT Letters of Marque. You will offer what amounts to a full pardon. Jack will be free, a privateer in the employ of England. WILL TURNER Somehow I doubt Jack will consider employment the same as being free. LORD CUTLER BECKETT Freedom. Jack Sparrow is a dying breed. The world is shrinking, the blank pages of the map filled in. Jack must find his place in the new world or perish. Not unlike you, Mister Turner. You and your fiancée face the hangman's noose. WILL TURNER So you get both Jack *and* the Black Pearl. LORD CUTLER BECKETT The Black Pearl? WILL TURNER The property you want that he possesses. LORD CUTLER BECKETT A ship? Hardly. The item in question's considerably smaller and far more valuable. Something Sparrow keeps on his person at all times. A compass. Ah, you know it. Bring back that Compass, or there's no deal. BLACK PEARL [Jack is using calipers on a map, using his left hand, a "P" brand mark is seen on his right arm] [an hourglass is in the background, Jack taps the Compass] [Jack looks in his bottle, turns the bottle upside-down, only a few drops spill out] JACK SPARROW Why is the rum always gone? [Jack rises to his feet, staggers] [Jack picks up his hat off the top of a globe] JACK SPARROW Oh! *That's* why. [Jack walks past the crew sleeping on hammocks, Jack is carrying a lantern] [some of the crew are snoring, and Cotton is among those sleeping] JACK SPARROW As you were, gents. [Jack goes downstairs to the hold, an animal bleats, Jack unlocks the door, goes in] [Jack sees eerie filter feeder creatures festooning a beam of wood] [Jack spots a rack of bottles, with the bottles stored sideways like in a wine rack] JACK SPARROW Ah! [Jack pulls a sideways bottle from the rack] [Jack pours sand out of the bottle] [Jack drops bottle of rum in fright, the bottle breaks on the floor] [Jack walks over to see who spoke] JACK SPARROW Bootstrap. Bill Turner. [Bootstrap looks up from where he's sitting on a barrel, crabs scuttle across his face] JACK SPARROW Is this a dream? JACK SPARROW I thought not. If it were, there'd be rum. [Bootstrap immediately hands Jack a bottle of rum] [Jack pries the bottle from Bootstrap's hand with a crackling sound] JACK SPARROW I had some help retrieving the Pearl, by the way. [Jack tinks the lip of the bottle with his fingers, then blows across the top of the bottle] JACK SPARROW Your son. [Jack takes a drink from the bottle] JACK SPARROW And to what do I owe the pleasure of your carbuncle? JACK SPARROW Who? JACK SPARROW Ah. So it's you, then. He shanghaied you into service, eh? [a small hermit crab scuttles by Bootstrap, on top of the barrel where Bootstrap sits] [Bootstrap grabs the hermit crab, pops it into his mouth, and crunches on it] [Jack moves his mouth, jaw, and tongue around in revulsion while watching] [Jack hands the bottle back to Bootstrap] JACK SPARROW It's funny what a man will do to forestall his final judgment - [Jack starts to walk off, but Bootstrap stands up at the same time and intercepts Jack, blocking him] JACK SPARROW Technic - JACK SPARROW Yes, but the Flying Dutchman already *has* a captain, so there's re - JACK SPARROW Any idea when Jones might release said terrible beastie? [Jack looks at the palm of his left hand, where a black spot boils into view] [Jack looks up, but Bootstrap has disappeared] BLACK PEARL: ON DECK [Jack runs across a wooden deck that has a shallow covering of water] JACK SPARROW On deck all hands! Make fast the bunt gasket! On deck! Scurry! ?Scurry-on/?Marty, I want movement! JACK SPARROW *I want movement!* GIBBS Lift the skin up! JACK SPARROW All on deck! Run! And keep running! Run as if the devil himself and itself is upon us! GIBBS Do we have a heading? JACK SPARROW Ah! Ooh! Run! Land. [Jack rises from where he was ducked behind the base of the mast, sees Gibbs again] JACK SPARROW Oh! Euh! GIBBS Which port? JACK SPARROW Didn't say port. I said land. Any land. [the monkey in skeleton form swings down, grabs Jack's hat] JACK SPARROW Agh! [the monkey snarls at Jack, Jack snarls back at the monkey, in imitation] [the monkey throws Jack's hat overboard GIBBS Jack's hat! Bring 'er about! JACK SPARROW No no! Leave it! Run! GIBBS Back to your stations! The lot o' ya! [Jack stands stiffly in the shadows under some steps, between two lighted windows] [Gibbs walks up to Jack] GIBBS Jack? JACK SPARROW Shhh! GIBBS For the love of mother and child, Jack, what's coming after us? JACK SPARROW Nothing. small fishing vessel [Jack's hat floats toward a small fishing vessel around sunrise] [a Turkish crewmember pulls Jack's hat out of the water with a hook] [the first sailor tries the hat on, jokingly pretending to be a captain] TURKISH FISHERMAN Heh-heh-heh.?tupayHey! ?Fo ?pes ?sa ?kapazun kapitan ?de ?la ?mezande, huh? GREEK FISHERMAN ?Etora. ?Fetsoran ?ipitos. ?Ferinte. arrive, huh? [the Greek sailor takes the hat, tries it on next] GREEK FISHERMAN Ah! ?Vangas ?da ?eroro ### [a large object is seeing moving underwater toward their vessel, creating a disturbance on the ocean surface as it moves] kapitan ### ### [a loud thumping sound occurs, the two sailors freeze in fright] [a third sailor sleeps on deck] [one sailor presses the hat against the other's chest, indicating he doesn't want it anymore] Port Royal prison [Will and the governor rapidly descend stone steps into the prison] [the guard at the bottom of the steps holds a long gun with a bayonette on the end] CARRUTHERS Here now. He can't be here. CARRUTHERS Mister Swann, - ELIZABETH SWANN Jack's Compass. What does Beckett want with that? WILL TURNER Does it matter? I'm to find Jack and convince him to return to Port Royal. In exchange the charges against us will be dropped. WILL TURNER Is that lack of faith in Jack, or in me? ELIZABETH SWANN I have faith in you. Both of you. Where will you find him? WILL TURNER Tortuga. I'll start there, and I won't stop searching 'til I find him. And then I intend to return here, to marry you. ELIZABETH SWANN Properly? WILL TURNER Eagerly, if you'll still have me. ELIZABETH SWANN If it weren't for these bars I'd have you already. [the governor accidentally knocks a candleholder off the wall] [the governor tosses the candleholder aside, onto the floor] ELIZABETH SWANN I'll wait for you. WILL TURNER Keep a weather eye on the horizon. [Will walks back up the prison steps] Tortuga WEATHERED SAILOR *Captain* Jack Sparrow? Owes me four dubloons. Heard he was dead. HALF-BLIND FISHERMAN Singapore. That's what I heard. Drunk with a smile on his face. Sure as the tide, Jack Sparrow... will turn up in Singapore. [Scarlett is a redhead, Giselle is a blonde, both are standing together, answering Will's questions] GISELLE Jack Sparrow! SCARLETT I haven't seen 'im in a month. GISELLE When you find him, will you give him a message? [Giselle slaps Will in the face] [a black man who is a shrimper is sitting on a dock, mending his nets] [in the background is a bunch of bananas on the dock, and a goat being loaded aboard a ship] SHRIMPER Cannot say about Jack Sparrow. But dere's a island, just south of de straits, where I trade spice for... mmm... delicious long pork. Cannot say about Jack. But you find a ship dere. A ship wit' black sails. CANNIBAL ISLAND beach [Black Pearl seen stranded on a beach, through a spyglass] SHRIMPER My brother will take you ashore. [the shrimper's brother is rowing Will toward the shore] [the rower stops rowing] WILL TURNER What's wrong? The beach is right there. SHRIMPER'S BROTHER ?: Ne bougeais pas, c'est trop dangereux. WILL TURNER What? SHRIMPER'S BROTHER ?: Je ne peux, c'est trop dangereux, j'avais le dit. Bon voyage, monsieur. [Will jumps off the rowboat, swims ashore, wearing his sword] [aerial view, flying over jungle toward beach, showing Will wading ashore] [Will walks alongside the Black Pearl, which is tied with ropes to stakes in the sand] WILL TURNER Jack! Jack Sparrow! WILL TURNER Marty! Cotton! Anybody? [Will wanders into the palm jungle bordering the beach] [Cotton's parrot flutters up and lands atop a palm stump] COTTON'S PARROT Awk! WILL TURNER Ah! A familiar face! COTTON'S PARROT Rawk! Don't eat me! WILL TURNER I'm not gonna eat you. COTTON'S PARROT Don't eat me! No! Don't eat me! Akkk! [Will finds Gibbs' husk canteen hanging on a plant, trailing a long string] WILL TURNER Gibbs. [Will follows the string attached to the canteen, over toward a large tree] [human eyes open in the background, from a man camouflaged against a nearby tree] [the camouflaged cannibal shouts and jumps out from the tree at Will] [Will is yanked back by a snare, and dangles upside-down from a rope] [cannibals charge out of the bushes from all directions, Will keeps them at bay with his sword] WILL TURNER Euh! Unh! Ya! Come on! Let's go! Euh! Ya! Come on! Who wants it? Unh! I could do this all day! Euh! Euh! Hah! [a cannibal with a bone through his nose uses a blowgun to shoot a dart into Will's neck] [Will drops his sword to the ground] CANNIBAL ISLAND throne [aerial view of flying over the island's mountaintops, toward hilltop throne area] [Will is carried while hung from a bamboo pole, his head hanging back] [human skulls line the path along which Will is taken] [Will is carried over a roap bridge] [one cannibal is wearing an English white wig and using a Western style fan] ? Hurry-hurry tan daga! [Will is brought before Jack, who sits on a throne] [the music stops, Jack pops his eyes open, revealing that his closed eyelids were painted to look like open eyes] WILL TURNER Jack? Jack Sparrow! I can honestly say I'm glad to see you! [Jack says nothing, arises from his throne, walks over to Will] [Jack pushes one finger into Will's shoulder, as if testing how much meat Will has on him] WILL TURNER Jack! It's me! Will Turner! JACK SPARROW ?: Wa-say kohn. ? Een dah-lah. Eeseepi. CANNIBAL CROWD Eeseepi. WILL TURNER Tell 'em to let me down. JACK SPARROW Kay-lay lam. Lam piki-piki. Lam eensy weensy. Lam say-say... eunuchy. Snip-snip. CANNIBAL CROWD Ahhh... eunuchy! [Jack begins to walk away, as if disinterested, his Compass hangs from his waist] WILL TURNER Jack! The Compass! That's all I need, Elizabeth is in danger. We were arrested for trying to help *you*. She faces the gallows! [Jack halts, pauses, turns around and casually walks back] JACK SPARROW Say-say lam shoop-shoop sha smalay-lama shoo-koo. Savvy? Ball licky-licky. Ball licky-licky! CANNIBAL CROWD Ball licky-licky! [the cannibals begin chanting, repetitiously] CANNIBAL CROWD ?Boom-shoo-boom, ?boom-shoo-boom, ?boom-shoo-boom... JACK SPARROW Save me! WILL TURNER Jack, what did you tell them? No! What about Elizabeth? *Jack...!* [Will is carried across a rope bridge, still hanging underneath the bamboo pole] Port Royal [Elizabeth sits alone in her prison cell, male prisoners in the next cell whistle and beckon her] PRISONERS ...we don't bite...Come on... ] Prisoners: Where you goin'...?) ELIZABETH SWANN Why don't you tell me what's happening? ELIZABETH SWANN No! Will has gone to find Jack! ELIZABETH SWANN He's a better man than you give him credit for. [a horse and carriage are waiting, the governor opens the door to the carriage for Elizabeth] ELIZABETH SWANN A fair trial for Will ends in a hanging. [the horse and carriage quickly ride off] [the horse and carriage arrive at a dock] [Captain Hawkins stands silently on the dock facing out to sea] [the captain's body soon falls, revealing Mercer, who was standing behind the body, long knife in hand] MERCER Evening, Governor. Shame, huh? He was carryin' this. It's a letter to the King. It's from *you*. [horses and soldiers arrive to cut off the governor from fleeing from the dock] [the carriage door is opened, but the carriage is empty, Elizabeth is gone] MERCER Where is she? [Mercer grabs the governor by the lapels, pushes him up against the side of the carriage] PORT ROYAL EITC headquarters [darkened room] [Beckett walks in from the balcony, carrying a lantern] [Beckett walks to a table, opens a wooden box, finds the Letters of Marque missing] LORD CUTLER BECKETT No doubt you've discovered that loyalty is no longer the currency of the realm, as your father believes. [Elizabeth slips into the dark room from an interior door, hands held behind her] ELIZABETH SWANN Then what is? LORD CUTLER BECKETT I'm afraid that *currency* is the currency of the realm. ELIZABETH SWANN I expect then that we can come to some sort of understanding. I'm here to negotiate. LORD CUTLER BECKETT I'm listening. [Elizabeth pulls a pistol, points it at Beckett's head] LORD CUTLER BECKETT I'm listening *intently*. ELIZABETH SWANN These Letters of Marque, they are signed by the King? LORD CUTLER BECKETT Yes, and they're not valid until they bear my signature and my seal. ELIZABETH SWANN Or else I would not still be here. You sent Will to get you the Compass owned by Jack Sparrow. It will do you no good. LORD CUTLER BECKETT Do explain. ELIZABETH SWANN I have been to Isla de Muerta, I have seen the treasure myself. There is something you need to know. LORD CUTLER BECKETT Ah, I see. *You* think the Compass leads only to the Isla de Muerta, and so you hope to *save* me from an evil fate. But you mustn't worry. I care not for cursed Aztec gold. My desires are not so provincial. There's more than one chest of value in these waters. So perhaps you may wish to enhance your offer. [Elizabeth cocks her pistol] [Beckett signs the document] ELIZABETH SWANN Consider into your calculations that you robbed me of my wedding night. LORD CUTLER BECKETT So I did. A marriage interrupted. Or fate intervenes. You make great efforts to ensure Jack Sparrow's freedom. ELIZABETH SWANN These aren't going to Jack. LORD CUTLER BECKETT Oh really. To ensure Mister Turner's freedom, then? I'll still want that Compass. Consider that in your calculations. Longboat [Ragetti appears to be reading a Bible in the back of the longboat, but the Bible is upside-down] RAGETTI Well I say it was divine providence what escaped us from jail. PINTEL And I say... it was me bein' *clever*. Ain't that right, poochie? [the dog goes to the bow, looking forward, keys in its mouth] RAGETTI ?: Well how'dya know it ?weren't/?wasn't divine providence what inspired you to *be* clever? Anyways, I ain't stealin' no ship. PINTEL It ain't stealin'. It's *salvagin'*! And since when did you care? RAGETTI Since we're not immortal no more. We gotta take care of our immortal souls. PINTEL You know you can't read. RAGETTI It's the Bible. You get credit for trying. PINTEL Pretendin' to read the Bible's a *lie*! *That's* a mark against ya! Look! There it is! [the dog jumps overboard and swims toward shore] RAGETTI What's got into *'im*? PINTEL Must've seen a catfish. Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh. [both laugh, the dog reaches shore and looks back at them] RAGETTI Stupid mongrel! [the dog on shore shakes off water, looks back at them, still holding keys in its mouth] [their boat capsizes in a wave, they wade ashore] CANNIBAL ISLAND beach ... PINTEL Come on! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Ha-ha-ha-ha... ### PINTEL It's ours for the taking! RAGETTI Tide's comin', that should help. Well, salvagin' is saving, in a manner of speaking. PINTEL There's the truth of *it*! ### [cannibal drums sound] RAGETTI Suppose we be'er... save it as soon as we can. What with our souls in such a vulnerable state, and all. PINTEL Amen to that. [the dog barks] CANNIBAL ISLAND throne [cannibal drums are pounding] [Jack is on the throne, a cannibal hands Jack a necklace of human toes] JACK SPARROW Thank you. [Jack looks at the toe, bites off part of the nail to trim it] [Jack spits out the piece of nail, reexamines the toe] CANNIBAL ISLAND cages [two spherical cages of six Black Pearl crewmen apiece hang from ropes over a deep chasm] [Will is in the same cage with Gibbs, Cotton, Marty, and two others] WILL TURNER Why would he do this to us? If Jack is their chief. GIBBS Aye, the Pelegostos made Jack their chief. But he only remains chief as long as he *acts* like a chief. WILL TURNER So he had no choice. He's a captive then as much as the rest of us. GIBBS Worse... as it turns out. See, the Pelegostos believe that Jack is a *god* in human form, and they intend to do him the honor of releasing him from his fleshy prison. [Cotton bites Gibbs' fingers to illustrate] GIBBS ?Argh! They'll roast him and eat him. WILL TURNER Where's the rest of the crew? GIBBS These cages we're in... weren't built 'til *after* we got here. [Will was gripping the bars made of human bones, but quickly pulls his hand away] GIBBS The feast is about to begin. Jack's life will end... when the drums stop. WILL TURNER Well, we can't just sit here and wait then, can we? CANNIBAL ISLAND throne [cannibal drums are pounding] JACK SPARROW ?No/?Oup! No no! ?Oy!/?Wait! No no! More wood! Big fire! *Big* fire! I am chief! Want big fire! Come on! JACK SPARROW ?Oy!/?Boy! Maboogie snickel-snickel. Tout de suite! Come on! More wood! [the cannibal standing next to Jack leaves to put more wood on the fire] [the cannibals put large pieces of wood on the fire] [the cannibals turn around to find that Jack is gone] CANNIBAL ISLAND Jack [Jack is running across a foot bridge] [Jack runs up to a cliff edge, totters at the edge, looking down] [Jack examines a length of bamboo pole he finds lying there] [Jack goes into a hut, sees various supplies, the sound of buzzing flies is heard] [Jack picks up a rope, starts to exit, halts, looks back inside] [Jack goes back in, picks up a can of paprika with the EITC logo on the bottom] [Jack walks outside the hut, the entire tribe is waiting silently outside, staring at him] JACK SPARROW Oh bugger. [Jack drops his coil of rope, sprinkles paprika on his armpits] JACK SPARROW Little seasoning. Eh? [Jack is now tied up to a bamboo pole and hanging face down over a pile of wood] [cannibals are dancing wildly] JACK SPARROW Well done. CANNIBAL ISLAND cages [the men begin swinging the cages with increasingly wide arcs] [both cages finally come within reach of the cliff, they grab vines and hang on to the cliff] GIBBS Put your legs through, start to climb! Agh! WILL TURNER Come on men! It'll take all ?of-us/?the-rest to crew the Black Pearl! LEECH Actually, you won't need everyone. 'Bout six would do! Ohhh... dear. [Gibbs nods] WILL TURNER Hurry! [each cage group begins racing against each other up the cliff] Come on! Go! Go! Go! Come on! Give it all you got! [a cannibal crosses the rope bridge] Hey! Hey ### WILL TURNER Stop! Stop! Stop! Shhh! Shhh! [the cannibal crosses rope bridge] LEECH Shhh! [one cage group decides to take the risk of climbing, despite the nearby cannibal] What's he doing? Stop! ... [one of the men in the climbing cage grabs a coral snake from the cliff instead of a vine] [p. 50] [when the man holding the snake lets go, their cage falls, the rope breaks, and their cage falls to the bottom] ?WILL TURNER ?Move! CANNIBAL ISLAND throne [drums pounding, a cannibal crosses a bridge to the bonfire area] Ahhh! Fye-fye! CANNIBAL CROWD Ahhh! Fye-fye! [the cannibal from the bridge arrives to tell the tribe of the men in cages escaping] ?Da ?latazo! ?Da ?litozo! Hay la paka say-say. [the crowd stands silently, not knowing whether to stay or to chase the escapees] JACK SPARROW Well, go on! Go get them! Hay ala! CANNIBAL CROWD Hay ala! Ala, ala! [cannibals run off to chase after men who escaped from cages] [in their haste one cannibal drops a lighted torch need the pile of wood under Jack] JACK SPARROW No! No no! Oy! No no! [the edges of the wood begin to catch fire] JACK SPARROW Not good. [Jack blows futilely at the igniting wood] CANNIBAL ISLAND cage [the remaining cage reaches the top of the cliff] WILL TURNER Cut it loose! Find a rock! [Will manages to sever the cage's cable by hammering it with a rock] [the men in Will's cage are unable to the cage open in time before the cannibals will reach them] WILL TURNER Roll the cage! [the cage rolls down the hill] [the cage falls over the edge of a tiny cliff] [the cage rolls down the hill, rolls up a coconut palm trunk, crashes to the ground, unbroken] WILL TURNER Lift the cage! Hurry! GIBBS Come on, men! Lift it like a lady's skirt! [the men begin running with their legs protruding from the cage, holding up the cage] [Marty's short legs make a running motion but are unable to reach the ground] Come on! CANNIBAL ISLAND hut [Jack is running off with the bamboo pole tied to his back] [Jack encounters the cannibal boy, standing silently with a fork and a knife, one in each hand] [Jack grabs the knife from the boy, and begins cutting his rope off] [two cannibal women appear] [Jack charges, but the bamboo pole on his back spears a coconut in a pile near the cliff edge] [Jack turns suddenly, which flings the coconut off the end of the pole into a cannibal's face] [the cannibal slowly lifts the dripping coconut off his face, scowling at Jack] CANNIBAL ISLAND cage [the cage rolls over a ledge into a small chasm holding a river] [cannibals throw spears and shoot arrows at the men in the water, the men swim underwater] ... GIBBS This way, lads! ... CANNIBAL ISLAND Jack [the two cannibal women throw numerous fruits at Jack while the pole is still on his back] [several of the fruits become impaled along the pole, making Jack look like he's part of a shish-ka-bob] ?CANNIBAL BOY Da litozo! Da litozo! ... ... [Jack pole vaults across the chasm, barely lands on the other edge safely] [but the fruit slides down to the end of his pole, putting weight on the end over the chasm] [Jack falls into the chasm, screaming] [Jack's pole catches between the two walls of a chasm] [two native women watch Jack fall into the chasm, with disinterest] CANNIBAL WOMAN ?A-geev-nee. Uh-boogie? [the two cannibal women walk off, disinterested] JACK SPARROW Bugger. [Jack's pole slips loose, he falls into the chasm, screaming] [As Jack falls through the first rope bridge, the rope comes undone but is still attached to the bamboo pole and to Jack] [Jack is hung upside-down in the chasm when the bamboo pole catches] [Jack falls through a total of six rope bridges] [Jack lands on his back on grass] [bamboo pole comes down at him, spears the ground near his head] [fruits tumble down afterwards] CANNIBAL ISLAND beach [only Ragetti and Cotton's parrot are aboard the Black Pearl, Pintel is on the beach below] PINTEL ?Pull-loose/?Unloose the mooring lines! The mooring lines! [the monkey chatters, grabs Ragetti's wooden eye] RAGETTI ?Thief/?Thing! Little hairy ?thief/?thing! Give it back! Don't bite it! PINTEL ?Unloose the mooring lines! RAGETTI He's got me eye! He won't give it back! PINTEL Well, how'd you get it back last time? GIBBS Excellent work! Work's half done! PINTEL We done it for you! Knowin' you'd be comin' back for us. GIBBS ?Make/?Making ?ready ?to?sail/?cast-off ###, boy. WILL TURNER What about Jack? I won't leave without him. JACK SPARROW Hey! [Jack appears at a distance, running down the beach toward the crew and ship] [a crowd of cannibals suddenly run down on the beach behind Jack, pursuing him] WILL TURNER Time to go. GIBBS *Cast off those lines!* [Jack screams while running down the beach] Make ready to cast off! ###! [the dog is down the beach with Jack, barking at him] JACK SPARROW Good doggie! ?Doggie. [Jack grabs ahold of rigging on the side of the departing ship] JACK SPARROW *Alas*, my children! This is the day you shall always remember as the day that you almost - [big wave splashes Jack from behind] JACK SPARROW ...Captain Jack... Sparrow. [the crowd of cannibals falls silent as the ship leaves] [the dog barks excitedly at the departing ship] [all heads in the crowd of cannibals turn toward the dog] [the dog falls silent, whimpers, then flees back down the beach] [the cannibals chase the dog, shouting] Black Pearl GIBBS Let's put some distance between us and this island, and head out to open sea. JACK SPARROW Yes to the first, yes to the second, but only insofar as we keep to the shallows as much as possible. GIBBS Uh, that seems a bit contradictory, Captain. JACK SPARROW I have every faith in your reconciliatory navigational skills, Master Gibbs, now where is that monkey? I want to shoot *something*. [the monkey screams, drops Ragetti's eye, Ragetti grabs his eye, spits on it, rubs the spit around on it] [the monkey chatters and climbs into the rigging] [Jack is ready to shoot the monkey with his pistol] WILL TURNER Jack. JACK SPARROW Ah. WILL TURNER Elizabeth is in danger. JACK SPARROW Have you considered keeping a more watchful eye on 'er? Maybe just lock her up somewhere. WILL TURNER She *is* locked up, in a prison, bound to hang for helping *you*! JACK SPARROW There comes a time when one must take responsibility for one's mistakes. [Will pulls a sword from the waistband of a pirate who is turned around, points it at Jack] WILL TURNER I need that Compass of yours, Jack. I must trade it for her freedom. [Jack pushes Will's sword aside] JACK SPARROW Mister Gibbs! GIBBS Cap'n. JACK SPARROW We have a need to travel upriver. GIBBS By need, d'you mean a... trifling need, ?uh/?a... fleeting, as in say in a passing fancy? JACK SPARROW No, a... resolute and unyielding need. WILL TURNER What we need to do is make sail for Port Royal with all haste. JACK SPARROW William... I shall trade you the Compass, if you will help me... to find *this*. WILL TURNER You want me to find this? JACK SPARROW No. *You* want you to find this. Because the finding this finds you incapacitorially finding and/or locating and your discovering the detecting of a way to save your ?dolly/?dotty belle ol'... what's-her-face. Savvy? WILL TURNER This... is going to save Elizabeth? JACK SPARROW How much do you know about Davy Jones? WILL TURNER Not much. JACK SPARROW Yeah, it's gonna save Elizabeth. Edinburgh Trader [a crewman swabbing the deck happens to notice a white dress tucked in a corner, pulls it out] [the crewmen are arguing loudly about the newfound dress] BELLAMY What's all this? If you both fancy the dress, you'll just have to share, and wear it one after the other. BURSAR It's not like that, Sir. This ship is haunted. BELLAMY Is it now? 'N' you? QUARTERMASTER The... female presence... amongst us, yes... all the men... they can feel it. The ghost of a lady, widowed before her marriage, I figure it. Searching for her husband, lost at sea. A virgin, too, likely as not. And that bodes ill by all accounts. BURSAR I say... that we throw the dress overboard, and we hope the spirit finds it. QUARTERMASTER No! That - that will just anger the spirit, Sir. What we need to do is find out what the spirit needs, and then just get it back! BELLAMY Enough! Enough! You're a pair of superstitious goats and it's got the best of you. Now this appears to be no more as we have a stowaway aboard. A young woman, by the look of it. I want you to search the ship and find 'er. Oh, and uh... she's probably naked. [the crew enthusiastically rushes off in search of the stowaway] Pantano River [aerial view of the mouth of the Pantano River, two longboats are beginning their way up the river] [the longboats are in a swampy area with twisted roots] WILL TURNER Why is Jack afraid of the open ocean? GIBBS Well, if you believe such things, there's a beast does the bidding of Davy Jones. A fearsome creature with giant tentacles that suction your face clean off. And drag an entire ship past the crushing darkness. The Kraken! [Marty turns around at mention of the word, Pintel and Ragetti look at each other] GIBBS They say the stench of its breath is like - ooh! Imagine: The last thing you know on God's green earth is the roar of the Kraken, and the reeking odor of a thousand rotting corpses. If you believe such things. WILL TURNER And the key will spare him that? GIBBS Now that's the very question Jack wants answered. Bad enough even to go visit... *Her*. WILL TURNER Her? GIBBS Aye. BAYOU Tia's shack [bayou with fireflies, and an iguana on a tree trunk on the left] [the iguana eats a firefly with a quick slurping sound] [people are occasionally seen standing quietly in the darkness among the trees] JACK SPARROW No worries, mates. Tia Dalma and I go way back. Thick as thieves. Nigh inseparable we are. Were. Have been. Before. GIBBS I'll watch your back. JACK SPARROW It's me front I'm worried about. Mind the boat. GIBBS Mind the boat. ?WILL TURNER Mind the boat. PINTEL Mind the boat. MARTY Mind the boat. COTTON'S PARROT Awk! Mind the boat! [Cotton is left alone in the longboat] [Jack cautiously enter's Tia's shack, pushing the door open slowly] [near the inside of the shack door hangs a live snake, moving slowly] [Tia is sitting at a table, looks up from her crab claws, sees Jack in the doorway] TIA DALMA Jack Sparrow! JACK SPARROW Tia Dalma! TIA DALMA I always know de wind was goin' blow you back to me one day. [Tia sees Will standing in the doorway, goes up to him] TIA DALMA You. You have a touch of... destiny about *you*, William Turner. WILL TURNER You know me? TIA DALMA You want to know *me*. JACK SPARROW There'll be no knowing here. We've come for help and we're not leaving without it. JACK SPARROW I thought *I* knew you. TIA DALMA Not so well as I had hoped. Come. JACK SPARROW Come. TIA DALMA What... service... may I do you? Hmmm? You know I demand payment. JACK SPARROW I brought payment. [Jack whistles once, a crewmember brings in the monkey in a cage] JACK SPARROW Look! [Jack cocks his pistol, shoots the monkey, the bullet has no effect, but the monkey chatters in fright] JACK SPARROW An undead monkey! Top that! [Tia lifts the cage door, the monkey scampers off] GIBBS No! You've no idea how long it took us to catch that. TIA DALMA The payment is fair. JACK SPARROW We're looking for this. And what it goes to. TIA DALMA The Compass you bartered from me. It cannot lead you to dis? JACK SPARROW Maybe. Why? TIA DALMA Ayeee... Jack Sparrow does not know what he wants! Or... do know, but are loathe to claim it as your own. Your key go to a chest, and it is what lay inside the chest you seek, don't it? GIBBS What *is* inside? PINTEL Gold! Jewels? Unclaimed properties of a valuable nature? RAGETTI Nothing... bad, I hope. [a jar of eyeballs is hanging next to Ragetti's face as he speaks] TIA DALMA You know of... Davy Jones, yes? A man of de sea. A great sailor, until he ran afoul of dat which vex all men. WILL TURNER What vexes all men? TIA DALMA What, indeed. GIBBS The sea? PINTEL Sums! RAGETTI Dichotomy of good and evil. JACK SPARROW A *woman*. TIA DALMA A wo-*man*. He fell in love. GIBBS No-no-no-no, I heard it was the *sea* he fell in love with. TIA DALMA Same story, different versions, and all are true. See, it was a *woman*, as changing, and harsh, and untamable as the sea. Him never stopped loving her. But the pain it cause 'im was too much to live wid. But not enough to cause him to die. WILL TURNER What... exactly did he put into the chest? TIA DALMA Him heart. RAGETTI Literally, or figuratively? PINTEL He couldn't li'erally put his heart in a chest! Could he? TIA DALMA It was not wort' feeling what... small fleeting joy life brings, and so... he carved out him heart, lock it away in a chest, and hide de chest from de world. De keys, he keep wid him at all times. WILL TURNER You knew this. JACK SPARROW I did not. I didn't know where the key was. But now we do. So all that's left is to climb aboard the Flying Dutchman, grab the key, you go back to Port Royal and save your bonnie lass, hey! TIA DALMA Let me see your hand. [Jack shows his right hand is untouched, but Tia unwraps the bandage on his left hand] [the black spot on Jack's left hand is revealed] GIBBS Uhhh! The black spot! [Gibbs quickly wipes his hands on his chest, spins around once to the left, and spits] Black spot! Black spot! [Pintel and Ragetti copy Gibbs' ritual, in synchrony] JACK SPARROW My eyesight's as good as ever, just so you know. [pushing aside cloth door beads, Tia goes into a back room, and searches for something] TIA DALMA I am justMy little ###, where are you? ### [Jack steals a ring off of one of Tia's tables, beside the ring is a silver locket] [Tia comes back with an object from the back room] TIA DALMA Davy Jones cannot make port. Cannot step on land but once every ten years. Land is where you are safe, Jack Sparrow. And so you will carry land wid you... [Tia hands Jack a jar of dirt] JACK SPARROW Dirt. This is a jar of dirt. TIA DALMA Yes? JACK SPARROW Is the... jar of dirt going to help? TIA DALMA If you don' want it, give it back. JACK SPARROW No. TIA DALMA Den it helps. WILL TURNER It seems... we have a need to find the Flying Dutchman. [Tia is sitting, she holds several crab shells between her cupped hands and closes her eyes] TIA DALMA A touch... of destiny! [Tia throws the crab claws down on the table to see how they fall] [fade to aerial view of rocky islands whose positions match the positions of the crab claws] Black Pearl [pan beyond the rocks to the Black Pearl just offshore, in stormy weather] [the Black Pearl crew look at the scuttled ship on the rocks] WILL TURNER That's the Flying Dutchman? She doesn't look like much. JACK SPARROW Neither do you. Do *not* underestimate her. [Jack gives Gibbs a meaningful glance, elbows Gibbs] GIBBS Must've run afoul of the reef. JACK SPARROW So what's your plan, then? WILL TURNER I row over, search the ship until I find your bloody key. JACK SPARROW And if there are crewmen? WILL TURNER I cut down anyone in my path. JACK SPARROW I like it. Simple, easy to remember. RAGETTI Your chariot awaits you, sire! Ha, ha-ha-ha, ha-ha! JACK SPARROW Hey! If you *do* happen to get captured, just say Jack Sparrow sent you to settle his debt! Might save your life! RAGETTI Bon voyage! Ha-ha-ha! JACK SPARROW Douse the lamps. [Marty douses a lamp, then Cotton douses a lamp, then Pintel douses a lamp] [Will sets off in a rowboat, alone, toward the scuttled ship] SCUTTLED SHIP before attack [Will goes aboard the ship, lantern in hand] [Will passes one dead crewman at deck level, proped up behind net-like rigging] [Will comes across a wounded sailor, who seems to be in shock] [the wounded sailor is pulling on a pulley desperately, muttering to himself] WOUNDED SAILOR ...up the... WILL TURNER Sailor! WOUNDED SAILOR ...the stench...capsized... WILL TURNER Sailor! WOUNDED SAILOR ...bring a... WILL TURNER There's no use. You've run aground. WOUNDED SAILOR No! Beneath us! Foul breath! [behind Will, a crewmember's body falls from a height, splashing into the water] [Will goes to investigate] WILL TURNER Hey! Hey! [Will turns the man's body over to see his face] [the man's face is gone, his face is just a puckered piece of skin, which bulges outward] [the real Flying Dutchman suddenly rises from the sea, nearby the scuttled ship] [the sea creature-like crew emerge from the surfaces of the Flying Dutchman] [crewmembers from the Flying Dutchman attack the remaining crew of the scuttled ship] GREENBEARD Down on your marrowbones, and pray. [Will engages in a swordfight against several invaders] [Will dips his sword in oil, causing it to flame, and waves it at the men surrounding him] WILL TURNER Get back! Back! [Will slices open the stomach of one of the invaders, fish spill out of it onto the deck] [Will battles the invading crewmembers, but one of them knocks Will unconscious] Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. SCUTTLED SHIP after attack [the prisoners of the scuttled ship cower in fear, lined up, sitting in a row on deck along the railing] [Jack is at the end of the row of five survivors total, on the right-side when facing the survivors] [Davy Jones stomps aboard with his peg leg, underwater view of his departing feet] [Maccus is on deck, turned so that his back is shown, showing lobster legs on his back] MACCUS Five men still alive. The rest have moved on. [Jones pauses to clench his left hand, which is a large lobster claw] [Jones casually lights a pipe in front of one of the cowering crewmen] DAVY JONES Do you fear death? Do you fear that dark abyss? All your deeds laid bare. All your sins punished. I can offer you... an escape-uh. CHAPLAIN Don't listen to him! [Jones walks over to the chaplain, takes the chaplain's head in his claw] DAVY JONES Do you not fear death? CHAPLAIN I'll take my chances, Sir. DAVY JONES To the depths. [the chaplain's throat is slit, two crewmembers throw his body overboard] Ah, ha-ha-ha...! [unidentified crewman] Cold blooded - ! DAVY JONES Life is cruel. Why should the afterlife be any *different*? I offer you a choice. Join my crew, and postpone the judgment. One hundred years before the mast. Will ye serve? HELMSMAN I - I will, serve. DAVY JONES ?Grand. [Jones looks pleased, then sees Will at the end of the line of people] [Jones stomps over to Will] DAVY JONES *You* are neither dead nor dying. What is your purpose here? WILL TURNER Jack Sparrow sent me to settle his debt. DAVY JONES What is your purpose here? WILL TURNER Jack Sparrow. He sent me to settle his debt. DAVY JONES Huh! Did he, now? I'm sorely tempted to accept that offer. [through a spyglass, Jack sees Jones turn to look directly at him] Black Pearl [suddenly Jones is standing aboard the Black Pearl, directly in front of Jack and his spyglass] [Cotton and Gibbs have knives to their throats from other Flying Dutchman crewmembers who teleported over] JACK SPARROW Oh. DAVY JONES You have a debt to pay. You've been captain of the Black Pearl for thirteen years. *That* was our agreement. JACK SPARROW Technically, I was only captain for two years, then I was viciously mutinied upon. DAVY JONES Then you were a poor captain, but a *captain* nonetheless! Have you not introduced yourself all these years as *Captain* Jack Sparrow? JACK SPARROW You have my payment. One soul to serve on your ship is already over there. DAVY JONES One soul is not equal to another. JACK SPARROW Aha! So we've established my proposal is sound in principle, now we're just haggling over price. DAVY JONES Price? Pttt! JACK SPARROW Just how many souls do you think my soul is worth? DAVY JONES One hundred souls, three days-uh. JACK SPARROW You're a diamond, mate. Send me back the boy, I'll get started right off. [Maccus blocks Jack from exiting] DAVY JONES I keep the boy. A good-faith payment. That leaves you only ninety-nine more to go. Ha ha! Ha ha! Ha ha! JACK SPARROW Have you not met Will Turner? He's noble, heroic, *terrific* soprano. Worth at least four... maybe three and a half. And did I happen to mention... he's in love. With a girl. Due to be married. Betrothed. Dividing him from her and her from him... would only be half as cruel as actually allowing them be joined in holy matrimony. Aye? DAVY JONES I keep the boy. Ninety-nine souls-uh. But I wonder, Sparrow, can you live with this? Can you condemn an innocent man - a friend-uh - to a lifetime of servitude, in your name while you roam free? JACK SPARROW Yep! I'm good with it. Should we seal it in blood? I mean... mm-mm - ink? [Jones grabs Jack's hand, resulting in a squishy sound] JACK SPARROW Uh! DAVY JONES Three days. Three days. [Pintel whimpers, with a knife held to his neck from a crewmember of Jones' ship] [Jack looks at his hand, it's covered with slime, but the black spot disappears under the effect of the slime] JACK SPARROW Oh, Mr. Gibbs. GIBBS Aye. JACK SPARROW Uh, I feel sullied and unusual. GIBBS And how do you intend to harvest these ninety-nine souls in three days? JACK SPARROW Fortunately, he was mum as the condition in which these souls need be. GIBBS Ah... Tortuga! JACK SPARROW Tortuga. Edinburgh Trader [inside a cabin aboard the Edinburgh Trader, Captain Bellamy is throwing documents down on the table] BELLAMY It's an outrage. Port tariffs, berthing fees, *wharf* handling, and heaven help us, pilotage. Are we all to work for the East India Trading Company, then? QUARTERMASTER I'm afraid, Sir... Tortuga is the only free port left in these waters. BELLAMY A *pirate* port is what you mean. Well, I'm sorry. An honest sailor is what I am. I make my living fair, and I sleep well each night, thank you. [a white dress floats by the cabin window, outside] BURSAR S-S-Sir! [they all rush to the window of the cabin and look out] [they all see the dress float by the cabin window, on its second pass] [one crewman gasps] [the men go outside to see the dress that was floating by the window] [the dress floats like a ghost, its left arm raised as if pointing] BURSAR She wants you to... do something. BELLAMY She's tryna give a sign. [the dress sweeps over a lantern, knocking it over and part of the deck ignites] BELLAMY Over there! Look for a sign! [the crew rush to the railing and look out at the sea] [Elizabeth, up on the mast overhead, sighs in exasperation] QUARTERMASTER Look there! There it is. There's the sign. ?BURSAR That's seaweed. QUARTERMASTER S-Seaweed can be a sign. ?BURSAR Looks like entrails. ?That ?would be a bad sign. ELIZABETH SWANN What's that over there? [Elizabeth is now sitting on a platform on the deck behind the men, pointing at the deck where the lantern fell] [the men at the railing turn around and look where Elizabeth is pointing] [the fire burning on the desk spells out "Tortuga" in fiery letters] Tortuga [men are tied up with ropes alongside a well, camera pans past the well] [a man is tied up and being dunked in the well, and is spouting water from his mouth] [crowded tavern, glass bottles are being shot off of people's heads for entertainment] [a duo of musicians is playing a guitar and accordion] GIBBS And what makes you think you're worthy to crew the Black Pearl? ELDERLY MAN Truth be told, I never sailed a day in me life. I figure I should get out and see the world while I'm still young. GIBBS You'll do. Make your mark. Next! JILTED MAN My wife ran off with my dog. And I'm drunk for a month. And I don't give a ass rat's if I live or die. GIBBS Perfect! Next! ONE-ARMED MAN Me have one arm, 'n' a bum leg. GIBBS It's the crow's nest for you. [Jack is sitting alongside a wall, within earshot of Gibbs' table, trying to make his Compass work] JACK SPARROW I know what I want. GIBBS Next! ROMANTIC MAN Ever since I was a little lad, I've always wanted to sail the seas. Forever. GIBBS Sooner than you think. Sign the roster. ROMANTIC MAN Thanks very much. JACK SPARROW How we going? GIBBS Including those four? That gives us - four! [to the next candidate in line] GIBBS And what's *your* story? NORRINGTON My story... it's exactly the same as your story, just one chapter behind. I chased a man across the Seven Seas. The pursuit cost me my crew, my commission, and my life. GIBBS Commodore? NORRINGTON No, not anymore, weren't you *listening*? I nearly had you all, off Tripoli. I would have, if not for the... hurricane. GIBBS Lord. You didn't try to sail through it? NORRINGTON So do I make your crew, or not? You haven't said where you're going. Somewhere *nice*! [unidentified woman] Oh! [the music stops, everyone stares at the altercation] [Jack grabs a branch from a vase, carries it in front of his face, attempts to walk out unseen] NORRINGTON So am I *worthy* to serve under Captain Jack Sparrow? [Norrington spots Jack sneaking off behind him, points a pistol at Jack] NORRINGTON Or should I just kill you now? [Jack ducks back and forth behind both sides of a large post, as Norrington points his pistol at Jack] JACK SPARROW You're hired. NORRINGTON Sorry. Old habits and all that. [unidentifed man, to Norrington] Easy, sonny! [someone deflects Norrington's pistol upwards as it fires] [the ball richochets off the chandelier, breaking a man's bottle as he's drinking from it] [the man whose bottle broke slugs a man next to him] [the music starts back up as a brawl ensues] [one man swings from chandelier, women fight, bottles are thrown against the wall, etc.] JACK SPARROW Time to go? GIBBS Aye! [a swordfight is going on] [someone throws a bottle against the wall above the stairs, Jack ducks as it smashes above his head] [Jack makes his way upstairs, trading hats a few times along the way] JACK SPARROW Thanks, mate. [Jack slaps him on the shoulder, the man falls backwards off the balcony] [Jack halts to let two men carrying another man proceed towards the edge of the balcony] JACK SPARROW Carry on. Heave! [the two men throw the carried man off the balcony, then Jack continues on his way] [the music stops, Norrington threateningly holds a bottle in his left hand] NORRINGTON Come on, men! Who wants some? Form an orderly line, I'll have you all one by one. Come on, who's first? [from behind, Elizabeth grabs the bottle from Norrington, smashes it over his head, knocking him out] ELIZABETH SWANN I just wanted the pleasure of doing that myself! [the crowd cheers, and everyone holds up their mugs in a toast] [men throw Norrington into the mud with some pigs, the crowd leaves except for Elizabeth] [Elizabeth turns Norrington over, onto his back] ELIZABETH SWANN James Norrington. What has the world done to you? [Mercer observes Elizabeth and Norrington from the doorway of the tavern] Flying Dutchman [Jones plays his pipe organ with his tentacles, steam coming from pipes] [the crew are on desk, slaving away, pulling rhythmically on a rope] Heave! Heave! Heave! Heave! Heave! Heave! ... BO'SUN Secure the mast tackle, Mister Turner! BO'SUN Step ?to-it/?tight! [Will goes to grab a rope] WILL TURNER Step aside! BO'SUN ?Regain-?yourselves!/?Mind-?yourself! ### [Bootstrap sees that the other man at the rope is his son, Bootstrap is stunned] [Bootstrap lets go of the rope, Will attempts to grab the sliding rope] [the cannon's rope drags Will across the deck] [the hoisted cannon crashes to the deck, and the organ music stops] BO'SUN Haul that weevil to his feet! [the crew haul Will to his feet] BO'SUN Five lashes to remind you... to stay on 'em! BO'SUN Impeding me in my duties. You'll share the punishment. DAVY JONES Will you now? And what would prompt such an act of charity? DAVY JONES Ha ha ha ha! Ha ha! What fortuitous circumstance be this! Five lashes be owed. I believe it is. [Jones hands the whip to Bootstrap, Jones' tentacle curls around the shaft of it] DAVY JONES The cat's out of the bag, Mister Turner. Your issue will feel its sting be it the Bo'sun's hand, by your own. DAVY JONES Bo'sun! [Bootstrap reluctantly takes the whip] [two crewmen tear Will's shirt off, exposing his bare back] [Bootstrap whips Will's back five times] [Will is tossed into a lower part of the deck, partially filled with water] [Will stands up, wearing an intact white shirt] BO'SUN You had it easy, boy! Ha ha ha! WILL TURNER I don't need your help! WILL TURNER So I'm to understand what *you* did was an act of compassion? FLYING DUTCHMAN below deck [Bootstrap and Will enter the interior of the ship together] [crewmember Wyvern is seen to their right, encrusted into the interior side of the hull, standing up] WILL TURNER I've sworn no oath. WILL TURNER Not until I find this. The key. [Wyvern's eyes open in the coral-encrusted wall at the mention of the key] [Wyvern, who is part of the wall, breaks his head away from the wall, leaving his brains behind] WYVERN The deadman's chest. WILL TURNER What do you know of this? WYVERN Open the chest with the key, and stab the heart. No-no-no-no. Don't stab the heart. The Dutchman needs a living heart, or there'll be no captain. And if there's no captain, there's no one to have the key. WILL TURNER So the captain has the key. [Wyvern retracts his head back into the wall, having said too much] WILL TURNER Where *is* the key? WYVERN Hidden. WILL TURNER Where is the chest? WYVERN Hidden. [Wyvern closes his eyes, and falls silent] Black Pearl [the Black Pearl is at a dock, loading fruits and livestock] [Jack and Gibbs are walking together, Elizabeth approaches from behind, still dressed as a man] ELIZABETH SWANN Captain Sparrow! JACK SPARROW Come to join me crew, lad? Welcome aboard. ELIZABETH SWANN I'm here to find the man I love. JACK SPARROW I'm deeply flattered, son, but my first and only love is the sea. [Norrington vomits over the side] ELIZABETH SWANN Meaning William Turner, Captain Sparrow. JACK SPARROW Elizabeth. Hide the rum. [Gibbs takes the bottle that Jack hands to him, and walks up the boarding plank in the background] JACK SPARROW You know, these clothes do not flatter you at all. It should be a dress or nothing. I happen to have no dress in my cabin. ELIZABETH SWANN Jack. I know Will came to find you. Where is he? JACK SPARROW Darling, I am truly unhappy to have to tell you this but... through an unfortunate and *entirely* unforeseeable series of circumstances that have nothing whatsoever to do with me, poor William has been press-ganged into Davy Jones' crew. ELIZABETH SWANN Davy Jones? [Norrington vomits over the side, then spits] NORRINGTON Oh, please. The captain of the Flying Dutchman. JACK SPARROW You look bloody awful. What are you doing here? NORRINGTON You *hired* me. I can't help it if your standards are lax. JACK SPARROW You *smell* funny. ELIZABETH SWANN Jack. All I want is to find Will. JACK SPARROW Are you certain? Is that what you really want most? ELIZABETH SWANN 'Course. JACK SPARROW Because I would think, you'd want to find a way to *save* Will the most. ELIZABETH SWANN And you have a way of doing that? JACK SPARROW Well, there is a chest... NORRINGTON Oh, dear. JACK SPARROW A chest of unknown size and origin. [Pintel & Ragetti walk by, together carrying a crate of bottles, and overhearing the conversation] PINTEL What contains the still-beating heart o' Davy Jones. RAGETTI Unh-unh... unh-unh... unh-unh... JACK SPARROW And whoever possesses that chest possesses the leverage to command Jones to do whatever it is he or she wants, including... saving brave William from his grim fate. NORRINGTON You don't actually believe him, do you? ELIZABETH SWANN How do we find it? JACK SPARROW With this. My Compass... is unique. NORRINGTON "Unique" here having the meaning of broken. JACK SPARROW True enough. This Compass does not point north. [Norrington vomits over the side] ELIZABETH SWANN Where does it point? JACK SPARROW It points to the thing you want most in this world. ELIZABETH SWANN Oh Jack! Are you telling the truth? JACK SPARROW Every word, love. And what you want most in this world is to find the chest of Davy Jones, is it not? ELIZABETH SWANN To save Will? JACK SPARROW By finding the chest of Davy Jones. [Jack hands the compass to Elizabeth, then draws away quickly so as not to influence the compass] [Elizabeth consults the compass, for her the dial clearly points in a specific direction] [Jack slowly rises up to peer at the face of the compass] JACK SPARROW Mister Gibbs! GIBBS Cap'n. JACK SPARROW We have our heading. GIBBS Finally! Cast off those lines, weigh anchor, and prow that canvas! JACK SPARROW Miss Swann. GIBBS ### PINTEL Welcome to the crew, former Commodore! Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh... [the goat neighs] PORT ROYAL EITC headquarters [Beckett and Mercer are in a room with the governor, whose hands are in shackles] [Mercer is looking through a mounted telescope to outside the window] LORD CUTLER BECKETT There's something to knowing the exact shape of the world and one's place in it, don't you agree? LORD CUTLER BECKETT I had you brought here because I thought you'd be interested in the whereabouts of your daughter. MERCER Most recently seen on the island of Tortuga, then left, in the company of a known pirate, Jack Sparrow. *And* other fugitives from justice. LORD CUTLER BECKETT Including the previous owner of this sword... I believe. Our ships are in pursuit. and justice will be dispensed by cannonade and cutlass, and all manner of remorseless pieces of metal. I personally find it distasteful to even contemplate the horror facing all those on board. LORD CUTLER BECKETT Your authority as governor, your influence in London, and your loyalty to the East India Trading Company. LORD CUTLER BECKETT Shall I remove these shackles? LORD CUTLER BECKETT So you see, Mercer, every man has a price he will willingly accept. Even for what he hopes never to sell. FLYING DUTCHMAN deck [slow motion scene of falling dice] [three crewman are playing Liar's Dice] [organ music is heard in the background] MACCUS I wager... ten years. ?KOLENIKO I'll match ten years. GREENBEARD Agreed. WILL TURNER I understand. Liar!) WILL TURNER It's a game of deception. Your bet includes all the dice, not just your own. WILL TURNER What are they wagering? WILL TURNER So any crewman can be challenged? WILL TURNER I challenge Davy Jones. [immediately the organ music ceases, immediately Jones' peg leg is heard thumping in approach] [with each thump of his footstep, gooseneck barnacles retract] [someone laughs] DAVY JONES I accept ?that-uh. [Jones sits down at the gambling table] DAVY JONES The stakes? WILL TURNER My soul. An eternity of servitude. DAVY JONES Against? WILL TURNER I want this. [Jack shows Jones the picture of the key] DAVY JONES How do you know of the key? WILL TURNER That's not part of the game, is it? You can still walk away. [One of Jones' tentacles pulls out the key from his vest to display it] [the tentacle puts the key back] [Bootstrap sits down at the table] DAVY JONES What's this? WILL TURNER No! Don't do this. DAVY JONES Four fours. WILL TURNER Four fives. DAVY JONES Seven fives-uh. WILL TURNER Eight fives. DAVY JONES Huh huh huh. Welcome to the crew, liar. DAVY JONES And be called a liar myself for my trouble? Bootstrap Bill, you're a liar and you will spend an eternity on this ship! Master Turner, feel free to go ashore... the very next time we make port! WILL TURNER Fool. Why did you do that? WILL TURNER It was never about winning, or losing. FLYING DUTCHMAN organ room [nighttime on deck of the Flying Dutchman] [Will emerges from a hatch on deck] [Will sneaks past one one the crew on deck, who is sleeping with a bottle in his hand] [Jones is asleep at his organ, snoring] [Will sneaks into his room, behind him] [Will grabs a nearby quill pen, uses it to lift one of Jones' tentacles] [one tentacle accidentally falls on an organ key, almost waking up Jones] [the falling tentacle also sets off a locket on top of the organ, that plays a song] [Will holds one of the staves in his mouth while lifting the tentacles] [Will finally removes the key, replaces it with his drawing of the key] FLYING DUTCHMAN deck WILL TURNER It's not a fate you had to choose for yourself, either. WILL TURNER They'll know you helped me. WILL TURNER I take this with a promise. I'll find a way to sever Jones' hold on you. And not rest until this blade pierces his heart. I will not abandon you. I promise. [Will sets out alone on a longboat] Black Pearl [crewmen are scrubbing the deck of the Black Pearl] GIBBS Beckett! ELIZABETH SWANN Yes, they're signed, Lord Cutler Beckett of the East India Trading Company. JACK SPARROW Agh. GIBBS Will was working for Beckett, and never said a word. JACK SPARROW Agh. GIBBS Beckett wants the Compass. Only one reason for that. JACK SPARROW Of course. He wants the chest. ELIZABETH SWANN Yes, he did say something about a chest. GIBBS If the company controls the chest, they controls the sea. JACK SPARROW A truly discomforting notion, love. GIBBS And bad. Bad for every mother's son what calls himself a pirate. I think there's a bit more speed to be coaxed from these sails. Brace the foreyard! JACK SPARROW Might I inquire how as to how you came by these? ELIZABETH SWANN Persuasion. JACK SPARROW Friendly? ELIZABETH SWANN Decidedly not. JACK SPARROW Will strikes a deal for these and upholds it with honor. Yet you're the one standing here with the prize. Full pardon, commission as a privateer on behalf of England and the East India Trading Company. As if I could be bought for such a low price. [Jack tucks the Letters into his coat and begins to walk away] ELIZABETH SWANN Jack, the Letters, give them back. JACK SPARROW No. Persuade me. ELIZABETH SWANN You do know Will taught me how handle a sword.
