  • Angelica: Maybe you don't believe in the supernatural.

    Jack Sparrow: Oh no, no, I've seen a thing or two.

  • Angelica: What were you doing in a Spanish convent, anyway?

  • Jack Sparrow: I may have had... briefly, mind you... stirrings.

    Gibbs: Stirrings?

    Jack Sparrow: Stirrings.

    Gibbs: What, like feelings, you mean?

    Jack Sparrow: No, no, no, no, not quite all the way to feelings. More like... All right feelings, damn you.

  • Angelica: Admit it, Jack. You still love me.

    Jack Sparrow: If you had a sister and a dog... I'd choose the dog.

  • Jack Sparrow: Clergyman, on the off chance that this does not go well for me, I would like it noted here and now that I am fully prepared to believe in whatever I must, so that I may be welcomed into that place where all the "goody-goodies" get to go. Savvy?

  • Angelica: [Jack turns to leave] Wait! I am with child... yours.

    Jack Sparrow: I don't recall that we ever had...

  • Jack Sparrow: You know the feeling you get when standing in a high place, the sudden urge to jump...

  • [Jack sneaks up to Angelica sleeping and slowly gets in bed next to her]

  • Barbossa: Hands aloft and bear away! Stable ahead to White Cap Bay!

  • Barbossa: [to Jack, about how he lost the battle against Blackbeard] Taken, not lost. We were off the coast of Hispanola when we came under attack. No provocation, nor warning or offer of parley. We were peppered with cannon fire. And then the sea beneath the Pearl began to roil. The Pearl was pitching and yawing so violently and every rail and spar all at once began to creak - the rigging had come to life! Our own ship turned against us. Tangling the crew, wrapping them like snakes... and wrapping around my leg! But my arms were free and my sword was still in my hand. I am the master of my ship, not Blackbeard. I am the master of my fate, not Blackbeard! So I did what needed done... I survived.

  • Gibbs: So the Pearl. Any idea on how to get her out?

    Jack Sparrow: We shall need a crossbow, an hourglass, three goats, one of us must learn to play the trumpet, whilst the other one goes like this.

    Gibbs: I know a man with a goat.

    Jack Sparrow: Good. I can go like this.

  • Syrena: Do not waste my tear.

  • [in agreement with Philip's comment]

    Jack Sparrow: I support the missionary's position.

  • Lord John Carteret: [sarcastically] You *are* Jack Sparrow?

    Jack Sparrow: There should be a "Captain" in there somewhere.

    [he grimaces]

    King George: I've heard of you... and you know who *I* am.

    Jack Sparrow: Face is familiar. Have I... threatened you before?

  • Barbossa: Be we on the proper course, Gibbs?

    Gibbs: Aye, we be proper. There's your proof.

    [Barbossa sees Spanish ships, and prepares the ship for battle. Nothing happens, however]

    Gibbs: He never so much as turned his head.

    Barbossa: The Fountain is the prize... it appears we be not even worth the time to take to sink. And now we've fallen behind!

  • Jack Sparrow: Death lies before us, as we sail to the Fountain of Youth.

  • Syrena: Philip, I can save you. You need only ask.

    Philip: I seek but one thing.

    Syrena: And what is that?

    Philip: Forgiveness. If not for me, you would never have been captured.

    Syrena: Ask.

    Philip: Forgive me.

    [they kiss]

  • Jack Sparrow: [after the mutiny is victorious] The ship is ours!

    Blackbeard: [comes out of his quarters and glares at Sparrow] Gentlemen. I be placed in a bewilderment. There I were, resting. And upon a sudden, I hear an ungodly row on deck. Sailors abandoning their posts, without orders, without leave. Men before the mast, taking the ship for themselves. What be that, First Mate?

    Angelica: Mutiny, Captain.

    Blackbeard: [holding his hand to his ear] Again?

    Angelica: Mutiny!

    Blackbeard: Aye, mutiny. And what fate befall mutineers? Now, we know the answer to that, do we not? Mutineers... HANG!

    [raises his enchanted sword, making the sails drop, and the rigging ensnare all the mutineers]

    Jack Sparrow: [hangs upside down in front of Blackbeard] Captain, I wish to report a mutiny. I can name fingers and point names.

    Blackbeard: Perfect.

  • Angelica: [after realizing Jack tricked Blackbeard into drinking the wrong chalice] You bastard, how could you?

    Jack Sparrow: Your father saved you. Perhaps his soul is now redeemed.

  • Philip: I was wrong. Not every soul can be saved.

    Blackbeard: Behold, gentlemen! A man formerly of faith.

  • Jack Sparrow: What has become of my Pearl?

    Barbossa: I lost the Pearl the same attack I lost my leg.

    [an enraged Jack has to be restrained by guards]

    Jack Sparrow: If that ship be sunk properly, then its Captain should be sunk with it!

  • Angelica: I want a father, Jack. I haven't had one.

  • Jack Sparrow: So, what is the ritual?

    Angelica: Two silver chalices, the teardrop of a mermaid, and water from the fountain. One chalice will contain the tear, the other will not. Whoever dinks from the chalice with the tear will have their life extended, from the person who drinks from the other chalice...

    Jack Sparrow: I don't really agree to that...

  • [Barbossa fiddles with his pegleg and and removes it]

    Jack Sparrow: Oh! A knife?

    Barbossa: Better!

    [Reveals his pegleg is a flask and takes a drink]

    Jack Sparrow: I want one of those.

  • Barbossa: [stabs Blackbeard] For the Pearl!

  • [to Blackbeard and Angelica, holding the prepared concoction]

    Jack Sparrow: I cannot save you both. One of you must sacrifice.

  • Angelica: [being marooned] And how will I get free of these bonds?

    Jack Sparrow: You broke free of your bonds thirty minutes ago, waiting for the precise moment to pounce.

    [blocks Angelica's attack]

  • [last lines]

    Gibbs: I don't get it, Jack. You had the chalices, the tear, the water - you could have lived forever!

    Jack Sparrow: Who's to say I won't live forever, eh? Discoverer of the Fountain of Youth. I've no say in it, Gibbs. It's a pirate's life for me.

    [winks]

    Jack Sparrow: Savvy?

  • Jack Sparrow: Better to not know which moment may be your last. Every morsel of your entire being alive to the infinite mystery of it all.

  • Blackbeard: Aha. Dead end. Dead. End. Dead end!

    Angelica: Jack, I'm starting to think you don't know where you're going.

    Jack Sparrow: It's not the destination so much as the journey, they say.

  • Blackbeard: In faith, there is light enough to see, but darkness enough to blind.

  • The Spaniard: [after shooting the English soldier] Someone make a note of that man's bravery.

  • Ezekiel: We're doomed. They be drawn to man-made light.

    Cabin Boy: Sharks?

    Ezekiel: Worse than sharks, boy. There'll be mermaids upon us within the hour, you mark my words. And we're the bait.

  • Cabin Boy: I got 'em!

    Cabin Boy: [places swords on the table] All of them.

  • Jack Sparrow: Blackbeard. Edward Teach. The pirate all pirates fear. Resurrector of the dead in his spare time.

  • Captain Teague: Hello Jackie.

    Jack Sparrow: 'Ello dad.

  • [Jack has just jump down into the river]

    Jack Sparrow: Wet... wet again.

  • [last lines]

    Blackbeard: Trickster... devil.

  • Angelica: The lies I told you were not lies

    Jack Sparrow: *Pause* You lied to me by telling the truth?

    Angelica: Yes

    Jack Sparrow: That's very good. May I use that?

  • Barbossa: [ignoring the mermaids attacking the far away Providence] We travel by foot! Gibbs, I require a heading.

    Groves: Sir. The men!

    Barbossa: They be dead already.

    Groves: [scornfully] They don't sound dead.

    Barbossa: [cocks pistol at Groves] Oh, is that so? Well, I hear nothing but seagulls, nesting. What is it that you hear, Mr. Groves?

    Groves: [hesitantly] Seaguls... nesting. Nothing more.

    Barbossa: [turns away] Heading, Gibbs?

  • Prime Minister Henry Pelham: You are in the presence of George Augustus, Duke of Brunswick-Luneburg, Archtreasurer and Prince-elector of the Holy Roman Empire, King of Great Britain and Ireland... and of you.

    Jack Sparrow: [thinking pause] Doesn't ring a bell.

  • King George: [as Jack peruses the buffet between them] I have a report: the Spanish have located the Fountain of Youth. I will *not* have some melancholy Spanish monarch - a Catholic! - gain... enternal... life!

  • Jack Sparrow: [to Blackbeard] Captain, I wish to report a mutiny. I can name fingers and point names.

  • Angelica: Every soul can be saved.

    Blackbeard: Be that true, young cleric?

    Philip: Yes. Though you I see as a bit of a long shot.

  • Barbossa: [in Ponce de Leon's ship] If forty pirates dreamt forty nights of treasure, it would not match the contents of this room.

  • Jack Sparrow: You.

    Barbossa: You.

    Jack Sparrow: No, you!

    Barbossa: I was here first. You!
