PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MAN'S CHEST -- QUOTES
Tia Dalma: Land is where you are safe, Jack Sparrow, and so you will carry land with you. [hands Jack a jar of dirt]
Jack Sparrow: ...This is a jar of dirt.
Tia Dalma: Yes.
Jack Sparrow: ...Is the jar of dirt going to help?
Tia Dalma: If you don't want it, give it back.
Jack Sparrow: [holding jar of dirt closer] No!
Tia Dalma: Then it helps.
Jack Sparrow: I want my jar of dirt!
Jack Sparrow: Darling, I am truly unhappy to have to tell you this, but through an unfortunate and entirely unforeseeable series of circumstances that had nothing whatsoever to do with me, poor Will has been press-ganged into Davy Jones's crew.
Gibbs: [after Jack shoots the monkey] You know that don't do no good.
Jack Sparrow: It does me.
Elizabeth: James Norrington, what has the world done to you?
Davy Jones: You are neither dead nor dying! What is your purpose here?
Will Turner: [quickly] Jack Sparrow sent me to settle his debt.
Davy Jones: What is your purpose here?
Will Turner: Jack Sparrow... sent me to settle his debt?
Davy Jones: [laughs] Did he, now? I'm sorely tempted to accept that offer!
Will Turner: [as Will begins to fight Norrington and Jack] Guard the chest!
Elizabeth Swann: No! This is barbaric! This is no way for grown men to settle... oh, fine! Let's
just haul out our swords and start banging away at each other! That will solve
everything! I've had it! I've had it with wobbly-legged, rum-soaked pirates!
Jack Sparrow: [holds up jar of dirt] Oi! Fishface! Lose something? Eh? Scungilli!
[falls down stairs, then holds up jar of dirt again]
Jack Sparrow: Got it! Come to negotiate, eh? Have you, you slimy git? Look what I got.
Jack Sparrow: [singing] I got a jar of dirt, I got a jar of dirt, and guess what's inside it!
Jack Sparrow: [searching for Davy Jones' heart in the dirt from the shattered jar] Where is it? Where is the thump-thump?
Will Turner: [to Elizabeth] Keep a weather eye on the horizon.
Davy Jones: Life is cruel! Why should the afterlife be any different?
Will Turner: [seeing a wrecked ship] That's the Flying Dutchman? It doesn't look like much.
Jack Sparrow: Neither do you! Do not underestimate her.
Will Turner: Jack, Elizabeth is in danger!
Jack Sparrow: Have you considered keeping a more watchful eye on her? Maybe just lock her up
somewhere?
Tia Dalma: You know I demand payment.
Jack Sparrow: I brought payment! Look.
[brings out the monkey in a cage and shoots him]
Jack Sparrow: An undead monkey! Top that!
Tia Dalma: [releases the monkey from the cage]
Gibbs: [muttering] No...
Gibbs: [speaking clearly] You've no idea how long it took us to catch that!
Tia Dalma: The payment is fair...
Governor Swann: We must find our own avenue to secure your freedom.
Will Turner: Is that a lack of faith in Jack, or in me?
Governor Swann: That you would risk your life to save Sparrow's does not mean that he would do
the same for anyone else.
Jack Sparrow: [to Norrington] 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: [immaturely] You smell funny!
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"?
Davy Jones: I wonder, Sparrow, can you live with this? Can you condemn an innocent man, a
friend, to a lifetime of servitude in your name while you roam free?
Jack Sparrow: [thinks for a second] Yep! I'm good with it. Shall we sign in blood? ...Or ink.
Elizabeth Swann: [to Jack] You'll have the chance to do something... something courageous. And when you do, you'll discover something. That you're a good man.
Jack Sparrow: [to Elizabeth] One word, love: curiosity. You long for freedom. You long to do what you want to do because you want it. To act on selfish impulse. You want to see what it's like. One day you won't be able to resist.
Lord Cutler Beckett: Jack Sparrow is a dying breed. The world is shrinking. The blank edges of the map filled in. Jack must find his place in the new world or perish.
Norrington: There was a time when I would have given anything for you to look like that
while thinking about me.
Elizabeth Swann: [hesitates before answering] I don't know what you mean.
Norrington: I think you do.
Elizabeth Swann: [to Norrington] Oh, don't be absurd. I trust him, that's all.
Elizabeth Swann: [seeing the heart of Davy Jones] It's real!
Norrington: You actually were telling the truth.
Jack Sparrow: I do that quite a lot! Yet people are always surprised.
Will Turner: With good reason!
Jack Sparrow: How did you get here?
Will Turner: Sea turtles, mate. A pair of them strapped to my feet.
Jack Sparrow: Not so easy, is it?
Davy Jones: Let no joyful voice be heard! Let no man look up at the sky with hope! And let this day be cursed by we who ready to wake... the Kraken!
Governor Swann: I've arranged passage to England. The captain is a friend of mine.
Elizabeth Swann: No! Will's got to find Jack!
Governor Swann: We cannot count on William Turner.
Elizabeth Swann: He's a better man then you give him credit for!
Governor Swann: This is no time for innocence! Beckett has offered one pardon only and that is
promised to Jack Sparrow. Even if Will succeeds. Do not ask me to endure the
sight of my daughter walking to the gallows. Perhaps I can ensure a fair trail
for Will if he returns.
Elizabeth Swann: A fair trial ends in a hanging.
Governor Swann: Then there is nothing left for you here.
Jack Sparrow: [pulls out sword and threatens Will] Can't let you do that, William. 'Cause if Jones is dead, who's to call his
terrible beastie off the hunt, eh? Now, if you please. The key.
Will Turner: [pulls his own sword out on Jack] I keep the promises I make, Jack. I intend to free my father. I hope you're here
to see it.
Norrington: [draws his sword and points it at Will] I can't let you do that, either. So sorry.
Jack Sparrow: [to Norrington] I knew you'd warm up to me eventually.
Norrington: [points his sword at Jack] Lord Beckett desires the contents of that chest. I deliver it, I get my life
back.
Jack Sparrow: Ah. The dark side of ambition.
Norrington: Oh, I prefer to see it as the promise of redemption.
Davy Jones: [after watching the Kracken take down the Pearl] Jack Sparrow... Our debt is settled.
Palifico: The Captain goes down with his ship.
Maccus: Turns out not even Jack Sparrow can best the devil!
Will Turner: The Pearl's gone, along with its captain.
Gibbs: And already the world seems a little less bright. He fooled us all, right to the
end. But I guess that honest streak finally won out. [raises glass] To Jack Sparrow!
Will Turner: [to Elizabeth] If there was anything that could be done to bring him back...
Tia Dalma: Would you do it? What would any of you do? Would you said to the ends of the
earth and back to fetch back witty Jack, and him precious Pearl?
Tia Dalma: But if you will brave the weird and haunted shores at world's end, then you will
need a captain who knows those waters.
Barbossa: [walks down steps] So tell me, what's become of my ship? [laughs and bites into a green apple]
