Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl Page #3

Mentioned it is more what he did.

Ask him where it is!

He could lead us to it.

No.

The pirates left Sparrow in his cell,

ergo they are not his allies.

We will establish their

most likely course...

That's not good enough!

Mr. Turner, you are not a military man

or a sailor. You are a blacksmith.

And this is not the moment

for rash actions!

Do not think you are the only man here

who cares for Elizabeth.

Please.

- You! Sparrow!

- Aye?

You are familiar with

the Black Pearl?

- I've heard of it.

- Where does it make berth?

Where does it make berth?

Have you not heard the stories?

Captain Barbossa and his crew of

miscreants sail from the Isla de Muerta.

It's an island that cannot be found,

except by those who know where it is.

The ship's real, therefore its anchorage

must be a real place. Where?

- Why ask me?

- Because you're a pirate.

You want to turn pirate yourself.

Is that it?

Never!

- They took Miss Swann.

- So it is that you found a girl!

I see!

If you intend to brave all,

hasten to her rescue,

and so, win fair lady's heart,

you'll have to do it alone, mate.

I see no profit in it for me.

- I can get you out of here.

- The key's run off.

I helped build these cells.

These are half-pin barrel hinges.

With leverage and the proper application

of strength, the door will lift free.

- What's your name?

- Will Turner.

That would be short for William,

I imagine. Good, strong name.

No doubt named for your father.

Yes.

Mr. Turner, I've changed me mind.

If you spring me from here,

I swear, on pain of death,

I shall take you to the Black Pearl,

and your bonny lass.

Do we have an accord?

- Agreed.

- Agreed! Get me out!

- Hurry! Someone will have heard that.

- Not without my effects.

We're going to steal a ship?

- That ship?

- Commandeer.

We're going to "commandeer" that ship.

Nautical term.

One question about your business,

or there's no use going.

This girl, how far are you willing to go

to save her?

- I'd die for her.

- Good. No worries then.

This is either madness or brilliance.

It's remarkable how often

those two traits coincide.

Everyone stay calm!

We're taking over the ship.

Aye! Avast!

This ship cannot be crewed by two men.

You'll never make it out of the bay.

Son... I'm Captain Jack Sparrow.

Savvy?

- Commodore!

- They're taking the Dauntless!

Commodore! They've taken the ship!

Sparrow and Turner!

They're taking the Dauntless!

Rash, Turner. Too rash.

That is, without doubt, the worst pirate

I have ever seen.

Here they come.

Bring her around!

Search every cabin, every hold,

down to the bilges.

Sailors, back to the Interceptor!

Thank you, Commodore,

for getting us ready to make way.

We'd have had

a hard time by ourselves.

Set topsails and clear up this mess.

With this wind we won't catch them.

I don't need to. Get them in range

of the long nines.

Run out the guns!

We are to fire on our own ship, sir?

I'd rather see her at the bottom of the

ocean than in the hands of a pirate.

Commodore!

He's disabled the rudder chain.

Abandon ship!

That's got to be the best pirate

I've ever seen.

So it would seem.

When I was a lad living in England,

my mother raised me by herself.

After she died, I came here,

looking for my father.

Is that so?

My father, Bill Turner?

It was only after you learned my name

you agreed to help.

Since that's what I wanted,

I didn't press the matter.

I'm not a simpleton.

You knew my father.

I knew him. Probably one of the few

who knew him as William Turner.

Everyone else just called him

"Bootstrap".

Bootstrap?

Good man. Good pirate.

I swear, you look just like him.

It's not true. He was a merchant sailor.

A respectable man who obeyed the law.

He was a bloody pirate, a scallywag.

My father was not a pirate!

Put it away, son.

It's not worth you getting beat again.

You ignored the rules of engagement.

In a fair fight, I'd kill you.

That's not much incentive

for me to fight fair, is it?

As long as you're just

hanging there, pay attention.

The only rules that matter are these:

What a man can do

and what a man can't do.

You can accept your father was a

pirate and a good man, or you can't.

Pirate is in your blood, so you'll

have to square with that someday.

Me, for example,

I can let you drown,

but I can't bring this ship into Tortuga

all by me onesies, savvy?

So.

Can you sail under the command

of a pirate?

Or can you not?

Tortuga?

Tortuga.

It is a sad life

that has never breathed deep

the sweet, proliferous bouquet

that is Tortuga. Savvy?

What do you think?

- It'll linger.

- I'll tell you, mate,

if every town were like this one,

no man would ever feel unwanted.

Scarlett!

Not sure I deserved that.

Not sure I deserved that.

Giselle.

Giselle.

- Who was she?

- What?

I may have deserved that.

Curse you for breathing,

you slack-jawed idiot!

Mother's love!

Jack!

You should know not to wake a man

when he's sleepin'.

- It's bad luck.

- 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 his proposition.

Aye, that'll about do it.

Blast! I'm already awake!

That was for the smell.

Keep a sharp eye.

Now, what's the nature

of this venture of your'n?

Now, what's the nature

of this venture of your'n?

I'm going after the Black Pearl.

I know where it's going to be,

and I'm gonna take it.

Jack, it's a fool's errand.

You know better than me

the tales of the Black Pearl.

That's why I know

what Barbossa is up to.

All I need is a crew.

Captain Barbossa is not a man to suffer

fools nor strike a bargain with one.

It's a good thing I'm not a fool, then.

Prove me wrong. What makes you think

Barbossa will give up his ship to you?

Let's just say it's a matter

of leverage.

The kid?

That is the child

of Bootstrap Bill Turner.

His only child. Savvy?

Is he now?

Leverage, says you.

I feel a change in the wind, says I.

I'll find us a crew. There's bound to be

some sailors on this rock crazy as you.

One can only hope.

- Take what you can!

- Give nothin' back!

- Take what you can!

- Give nothin' back!

You'll be dining with the captain,

and he requests you wear this.

Tell him that I am disinclined

to acquiesce to his request.

He said you'd say that.

He also said if that be the case,

you'll be dining with the crew.

And you'll be naked.

Fine.

There's no need to stand on ceremony,

no call to impress anyone.

You must be hungry.

Try the wine.

And the apples. One of those next.

It's poisoned.

There would be no sense

to be killing you.

Then release me. You have your trinket.

I'm of no further value to you.

You don't know what this is, do you?

It's a pirate medallion.

This is Aztec gold.

One of 882 identical pieces they

delivered in a stone chest to Corts.

Blood money paid to stem the slaughter

he wreaked upon them with his armies.
