Captain: There has not been a king since the first brethren court, and that is not likely to change!

Captain: Shut your trap!
Captain: What was her name? It's on the tip of me tongue.
Captain: [Unsheathing his sword] Do you want to lose that tongue?
Captain: Margaret Smyth! Should we make an accord then? Or should I tell you-know-who what we both know to be true?
Captain: We both take this secret to our graves!
Captain: Oh! You mean it's true? I was bluffing.
Captain: I'm not!

Elizabeth: Captain Barbossa , I am here to negotiate the cessation of hostilities against Port Royal .
Barbossa: There are a lot of long words in there, Miss; we're naught but humble pirates. What is it that you want?
Elizabeth: I want you to leave and never come back.
Barbossa: I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request. Means "no".
Elizabeth: Very well. I'll drop it.
[dangles medallion over the sea]
Barbossa: Me holds are burstin' with swag. That bit of shine matters to us? Why?
Elizabeth: It's what you've been searching for. I recognized the ship. I saw it eight years ago on the crossing from England .
Barbossa: Did ya, now?
Elizabeth: Fine. Well, I suppose if it is worthless then there's no point in me keeping it.
[it drops a bit, the pirates lunge forward]
Barbossa: No! Ah.
[chuckles]
Barbossa: You have a name, Missy?
Elizabeth: Elizabeth... Turner. I'm a maid in the Governor's household.
Barbossa: Miss Turner...?
[turns to face the pirates]
Pintel: Bootstrap.
Barbossa: And how does a maid come to own a trinket such as that? Family heirloom, perhaps?
Elizabeth: I didn't steal it, if that's what you mean.
Barbossa: Very well, you hand it over and we'll put your town to our rudder and ne'er return.
Elizabeth: [she hands it over] Our bargain?
[Barbossa walks away from her]
Bo'sun: Still the guns and stow 'em, Signal the men, set the flags and make good to clear port.
Elizabeth: Wait! You have to take me to shore. According to the Code of the Order of the Brethren...
Barbossa: First, your return to shore was not part of our negotiations nor our agreement so I must do nothing. And secondly, you must be a pirate for the pirate's code to apply and you're not. And thirdly, the code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules. Welcome aboard the Black Pearl, Miss Turner .

Barbossa: [talking to Will Turner] Who are you?
Jack: No one. He's no one. Distant cousin of my aunt's nephew twice removed. Lovely singing voice. Eunuch.

Ephraim: First you resign from Mossad,
[handing him a document]
Ephraim: Your new contract. It says we do not employ you, offer you benefits or pensions or legal aid or medical assistance. It's a contract that there is no contract.
Avner: Do I get a copy?
Ephraim: You don't!
[handing him a check]
Ephraim: Your pension contribution refund! You're now officially unofficial, unemployed and uninsured.

Will: [during the final battle] Will you marry me?
Elizabeth: I don't think now's the best time!
Will: Now may be the only time! I love you. I've made my choice. What's yours?
Elizabeth: Barbossa! Marry us!
Barbossa: [swordfighting] I'm a little busy at the moment!

Captain: Who is this traitor?
Barbossa: Not likely one among us.
Elizabeth: Where's Will?
Jack: Not among us.

Nigel: Hi there. From my neck of the woods, eh? Sorry if I took a snap at you at one time. Fish gotta swim, birds gotta eat.

Avner: If these people committed crimes we should have arrested them. Like Eichmann.
Ephraim: If these guys live, Israelis die. Whatever doubts you have Avner, you know this is true.
[Avner walks away]
Ephraim: You did well but you're unhappy.
Avner: I killed seven men.
Ephraim: Not Salameh. We'll get him of course.
[Avner continues to walk away]
Ephraim: You think you were the only team? It's a big operation, you were only a part. Does that assuage your guilt?
Avner: Did we accomplish anything at all? Every man we killed has been replaced by worse.
Ephraim: Why cut my finger nails? They'll grow back.
Avner: Did we kill to replace the terrorist leadership or the Palestinian leadership? You tell me what we've done!
Ephraim: You killed them for the sake of a country you now choose to abandon. The country your mother and father built, that you were born into. You killed them for Munich, for the future, for peace.
Avner: There's no peace at the end of this no matter what you believe. You know this is true.

Ephraim: We deposit money from a fund that doesn't exist into a box we don't know about in a bank we've never set foot in. We can't help you because we never heard of you before.

Ephraim: [discussing how the mission will be funded] We deposit money from a fund that doesn't exist into a box we don't know about in a bank we've never set foot in.

Barbossa: [Jack and Barbossa see the dead Kraken] Still thinkin' of running, Jack? Think you can outrun the world? You know the problem with being the last of anything, by and by there be none left at all.
Jack: Sometimes things come back mate. We're livin' proof, you and me.
Barbossa: Aye, but that's a gamble of long odds, ain't it? There's never a guarantee of comin' back. But passin' on, that's dead certain.
Jack: Summoning the brethren court then, is it?
Barbossa: It's our only hope, lad.
Jack: That's a sad commentary in and of itself.
Barbossa: The world used to be a bigger place.
Jack: World's still the same. There's just less in it.

Ephraim: We have 11 Palestinian names. Each had a hand in planning Munich. You're going to kill them, 11 men, one by one. They're all in Europe now. You'll stay there as long as it takes. Europe only, not the Arab countries. That's for us, not you. And not Eastern Bloc. Don't upset the Russians. Who needs it? You'll have no contact with us.
Avner: You're not going to give me any information?
Ephraim: We deposit money from a fund that doesn't exist into a box we don't know about, in a bank we never set foot in. We can't help you because we never heard of you before. You'll do what the terrorists do. You think they report back to home base? They don't. We want them dead.

Nigel: [quietly] Okay, don't make any sudden moves. Hop inside my mouth... if you want to live.
Marlin: Hop in your mouth, huh? And how does that make me live?
Seagull: Mine?
Nigel: Because - I can take you to your son.
Marlin: Yeah, right.
Nigel: No, I know your son. He's orange and has a gimpy fin on one side.
Marlin: [shouts and jumps] That's Nemo!

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.

[first lines]
Narrator: Minions. Minions have been on this planet far longer than we have. They go by many names. Dave, Carl, Paul, Mike- Oh, that one is Norbert. He's an idiot. They're all different, but all share the same goal:... To serve the most despicable master thru could find.

Shansa: The price of crossing my door is blood, Captain.
Captain: That explains why you're not so busy.
Shansa: Everyone pays, eventually.
Captain: Shansa, you and I made a bond long ago. I saved you from the gallows, remember?
Shansa: And I cursed your enemies. But now you come to me with fear. As the dead have taken command over the sea.
Captain: And what would the dead be wanting with me?
Shansa: Not you, Captain. They're searching for a sparrow.
Captain: Jack?
Shansa: Jack who sails for the trident... With a girl and a Pearl.
Captain: The trident can never be found.
Shansa: The trident is Jack's only hope. The dead are conquering the sea, unable to step on dry land. Maybe you should retire to the countryside.
Captain: You mean grass, on a farm? Milking a cow, making cheese? While they sink me treasure?
Shansa: Ask yourself this, Captain: Is this treasure worth dying for?
Captain: I'm a pirate. Always will be! So how do I save what be mine?

Ephraim: You think we'd hurt your family?
Avner: I think anyone is capable of anything.
Ephraim: I think you're losing your mind.
Avner: Did I commit murder? I want you to give me proof that everyone we killed had a hand in Munich.
Ephraim: I don't discuss such things with people who don't exist. You want to discuss, come back into existence. You want your daughter to grow up in exile?
Avner: I want evidence!

Jack: FIRE!

Jack: Why should I sail with any of you? Four of you have tried to kill me in the past... one of you succeeded.
[looks at Elizabeth; Will looks at her; she looks around, guiltily]
Jack: Oh, she's not told you. You'll have loads to talk about while you're here.
Jack: [to Tia Dalma] As for you...
Tia: Now, don't tell me you didn't enjoy it at the time.
Jack: Fair enough. You're in.
[begins going down the line of pirates on the beach]
Jack: [to Ragetti] Don't need you, you scare me. Gibbs, you can come. Marty, Cotton... Cotton's parrot, I'm a little iffy... At least I'll have someone to talk to.
[to Tai Huang]
Jack: Who are you?
Tai: Tai Huang. These are my men.
Jack: Where does your allegiance lie?
Tai: With the highest bidder.
Jack: I have a ship.
Tai: That makes you the highest bidder.
Jack: Good man. Weigh anchor, all hands! Prepare to make sail!
[takes out compass]
Cotton's: Weigh anchor!
Barbossa: [pats the charts in his hands] Jack... Which way ya goin', Jack?

Barbossa: Dying is the day worth living for.

Will: She goes free.
[points pistol at Barbossa]
Barbossa: What's in your head, boy?
Will: She goes free!
Barbossa: You've only got one shot, and we can't die.
Jack: [whispered to Will] Don't do anything stupid.
Will: You can't. I can.
[points gun at himself]
Jack: Like that.
Barbossa: Who are you?
Jack: [to Barbossa] No one. He's no one. A distant cousin of my aunt's nephew twice removed. Lovely singing voice, though - eunuch.
Will: My name is Will Turner. My father was Bootstrap Bill Turner. His blood runs in my veins.
Ragetti: He's the spitting image of ol' Bootstrap Bill come back to haunt us.
Will: On my word do as I say, or I'll pull this trigger and be lost to Davy Jones' Locker.
Barbossa: Name your terms, Mr. Turner.
Will: Elizabeth goes free.
Barbossa: Yes, we know that one. Anything else?
Jack: [points at himself] Me!
Will: And the crew - the crew are not to be harmed.

[last lines]
Avner: Break bread with me. Come on, you're a Jew in a foreign land. It's written somewhere I should invite you to break bread with me. Break bread with me, Ephraim.
Ephraim: No.

Mr. Furious: I'm a Pantera's box you do not wanna open.
Casanova: It is "Pandora."
Mr. Furious: Please don't correct me, it sickens me.

Barbossa: So you expect to leave me standing on some beach with nothing but a name and your word it's the one I need and watch you sail away on my ship?
Jack: No. I expect to leave you standing on some beach with absolutely no name at all, watching me sail away on *my* ship, and then I'll shout the name back to you. Savvy?
Barbossa: But that still leaves us with the problem of me standing on some beach with naught but a name and your word it's the one I need.
Jack: Of the two of us, I am the only one who hasn't committed mutiny, therefore my word is the one we'll be trusting. Although, I suppose I should be thanking you because in fact, if you hadn't betrayed me and left me to die, I would have an equal share in that curse same as you.
[bites into an apple]
Jack: Funny ol' world, i'n'it?
[offers him an apple]

Ephraim: That's touching, in a juvenile sort of way.

[duelling with Jack, Barbossa suddenly throws away his sword]
Barbossa: You can't beat me, Jack!
[In reply, Jack stabs him with his sword. Barbossa simply sighs, pulls the blade out of his body and stabs Jack with it. He smiles as Jack totters - but is shocked when a shaft of moonlight turns Jack into a cursed skeleton of his former self...]
Jack: [examining his new form] That's interesting...
Jack: [to Barbossa, an Aztec coin dancing on his fingers] I couldn't resist, mate...

Seagulls: Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine.
[repeatedly]
Nigel: Oh would you just shut up? You're rats with wings!

Barbossa: So what now, Jack Sparrow? Are we to be two immortals locked in an epic battle until Judgment Day and trumpets sound?
Jack: Or you could surrender.

Captain: My name is Captain Barbarossa. And I stand before you, with cordial intent.
Captain: Cordial intent... do you hear that? This pirate wishes to be cordial. So let me show you what my cordiality is, hombre. Every time I tap my sword, one of your men will die. So I suggest you speak quickly.
[taps his sword]
Captain: Olé!
[Barbossa's crew start dropping like flies]
Captain: Might want to go a bit faster, Capitan.

[Salazar is going to kill barbossa because Jack escaped him]
Captain: You promised me Jack's blood!
Captain: But Jack is trapped! He can never escape the island...
Captain: It's still land!

Mr. Furious: Rage... taking over...
Casanova: Ya, ya, ya. Ve've heard all that before.
Mr. Furious: [Furious' face is all red] No, no, no. Rage... *really* taking over...

Barbossa: For too long I've been parched of thirst and unable to quench it. Too long I've been starving to death and haven't died. I feel nothing. Not the wind on my face nor the spray of the sea. Nor the warmth of a woman's flesh.
[steps into moonlight becoming a skeleton]
Barbossa: You best start believing in ghost stories, Miss Turner... you're in one!

Barbossa: There's not been a gatherin' like this in our lifetime.
Jack: And I owe them all money...

Captain: Where is Jack Sparrow?
Captain: Jack be sailing for the Trident.
Captain: No, the sea belongs to the dead.
Captain: The Trident controls the seas.
Captain: NO! No! There is no treasure, there is no treasure that can save him! He will die, as will you!
[draws his sword]
Captain: I be the only one that can lead you to him! I declare you shall have Jack's life by sunrise on the morrow. Or you can take me then. Do we have an accord?
[pause]
Captain: Take me to him, and you will live to tell the tale.
Captain: You have my word. I thank you, on behalf of me crew.
Captain: [laughs] Olé!
[taps his sword]
Captain: You can take what's left of them. The living come aboard!

Will: [during the final battle] Elizabeth Swann, do you take me to be your husband?
Elizabeth: I do.
Will: Great!
[more fighting]
Elizabeth: Will Turner, do you take me to be your wife, in sickness and in health, with health being less likely?
Will: I do.
[more fighting]
Barbossa: As Captain, I now pronounce you...
[interrupted by fighting]
Barbossa: You may kiss...
[more fighting]
Barbossa: ...You may kiss...
[more fighting]
Barbossa: ...JUST KISS!

Gibbs: Your carriage waits, my lady! The oars are inside.
[Elizabeth bids her pirate friends farewell]
Ragetti: 'Bye, poppet.
Barbossa: MRS. Turner...
Elizabeth: Jack... it would never have worked between us.
Jack: Keep telling yourself that, darling.
[Elizabeth steps forward to kiss Jack]
Jack: Once was quite enough!
Elizabeth: Thank you.

Barbossa: You've always run away from a fight!
Jack: I have not!
Barbossa: You have so!
Jack: Have not!
Barbossa: Have so!
Jack: Have not!
Barbossa: Have so!
Jack: Have not!
Barbossa: You have so and you know it!

Tia: 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. To Jack Sparrow.
Ragetti: Never another like Captain Jack.
Pintel: He was a gentleman of fortune, he was.
Elizabeth: He was a good man.
Will: If there was anything could be done to bring him back...
Tia: Would you do it? What would any of you do? Would you sail to the ends of the earth and back to fetch back witty Jack, and him precious Pearl?
Gibbs,10078: Aye!
Elizabeth: Yes.
Tia: All right. 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: [enters] So tell me, what's become of my ship?

Captain: I have heard stores of a mighty Spanish captain who sunk and killed thousands of men...
Captain: No no no no! Men, no! Pirates!

Carina: Who am I to you?
Captain: Treasure!

Captain: Tell me what you want.
Captain: I want my compass... 216 barrels of rum, and the monkey.
Captain: You want Jack?
Captain: Dinner. I want to eat him. I want to eat that monkey!
Captain: [gags Sparrow] No deal, Jack. A clever young woman such as that would never believe that a swine like me could ever be her blood.

[Barbossa is giving orders and Jack repeats the order]
Barbossa: What are you doin'?
Jack: What are *you* doin'?
Barbossa: No, what *are* you doin'?
Jack: What are *you* doin'?
Barbossa: *No!* What *are* you doin'?
Jack: What are *you* doin'? Captain gives orders on the ship.
Barbossa: The captain of the ship *is* givin' orders.
Jack: My ship, makes me captain.
Barbossa: They be my charts!
Jack: Well, that makes you
[pause]
Jack: chartman.
Pintel: Stow it! Both of you! That's an order! Understand?
[Jack and Barbossa stare at him]
Pintel: Sorry. I just thought with the Captain issue in doubt, I'd throw my name in for consideration, sorry.
Ragetti: [to Pintel] I'd vote for you.
