《加勒比海盗》1(六)
Jack: Why is the rum gone?
Elizabeth: Just wait, Captain Sparrow. You give it one hour, maybe two, keep a weather eye out and then you will see white sails on that horizon.
Jack: Must've been terrible for you to be trapped here, Jack. Must've been terrible for you... Well it bloody is now! There'll be no living with her after this.
Elizabeth: But we've got to save Will!
Gov. Swann: No! You're safe now. We will return to Port Royal immediately not go gallivanting after pirates.
Elizabeth: Then we condemn him to death.
Gov. Swann: The boy's fate is regrettable. But then so is his decision to engage in piracy.
Elizabeth: To rescue me, to prevent anything from happening to me!
Jack: If I may be so bold as to interject my professional opinion. The Pearl was listing near to scabbers after the battle. It's very unlikely she'll be able to make good time. Think about it. The Black Pearl. The last real pirate threat in the Caribbean, mate. How can you pass that up?
Norrington: By remembering that I serve others, Mr. Sparrow, not only myself.
Elizabeth: Commodore, I beg you, please do this for me. As a wedding gift.
Gov. Swann: Elizabeth. Are you accepting the Commodore's proposal?
Elizabeth: I am.
Jack: A wedding! I love weddings, drinks all around! I know. Clap him in irons, right.
Norrington: Mr.Sparrow. You will accompany these fine men to the helm, provide us with the bearing to Isla de Muerta. You will then spend the rest of the voyage contemplating all possible meanings of the phrase "silent as the grave". Do I make myself clear?
Jack: Inescapably clear.
Parrot: Shiver me timbers.
Gibbs: Cotton, he says you missed a bit.
Will: You knew William Turner?
Pirate: Old Bootstrap Bill ...we knew him. Never sat well with Bootstrap what we did to Jack Sparrow. The mutiny and all. He said it wasn't right with the code.
