Quote:Hector Barbossa

Spoken by Barbossa
"Gents... Ladies... 'Tis lucky I am to be standing here afore ye today. Two months ago, almost to the day, me ship Cobra was attacked and sunk by one of our own. We had raised our true colors, and yet still they tried to slaughter us. We were attacked by one of our own brethren... a clear violation of the Code, 'twas."

- Barbossa to assembled pirates at Shipwreck Cove

"I was in the water, no boat within reach. Me poor Polly had been holdin' on to me shoulder. She was wearin' her little blue dress, but suddenly she wasn't there and I couldn't see her. I swam under, gropin' through the water and the wreckage, tryin' to find her, but she was gone. When I came up to breathe, ready to dive again, even though I knew 'twas hopeless, two of me crew, witless one-eyed Ragetti and his grinnin' imp of a friend Pintel, grabbed me jacket and pulled me into their boat. Fools they be, but I'm grateful to 'em."

- Hector Barbossa

"I'll volunteer to stand executioner, Cap’n Teague. There's nothing I'd like more than to make each of those devils a hemp cravat. Shooting's too good for the likes of scum like that."

- Barbossa to Teague, talking about the rogue pirates who destroyed his ship

Spoken about Barbossa
"Brethren of the Coast, Don Rafael brought with him a man that I want you to meet. He is one of us, a man on the account, and he, of all of us, has personally witnessed the actions of these rogue pirates. I want you to hear what he has to say. Ladies, gentlemen, allow me present to you, Captain Hector Barbossa."

- Teague to assembled pirates at Shipwreck Cove

Dialogue
"Please tell us the entire story, Captain Barbossa." "Aye, Cap'n Teague. And hard tellin' it be, sir. Every time I think about me poor Polly..."

- Teague and Hector Barbossa

"Who is this Polly? Your doxy?" "Course not, ma'am. 'Tis bad luck to be bringing a woman aboard a ship. Polly ain't–warn’t–human." "Polly, that is the English name of a parrot." "I did have a parrot named Polly once. A fine bird he was, but he messed up the shoulder of me jacket. But the Polly I lost after the battle was me little monkey. Pretty little thing, she was. Understood every word I said to her."

- Ching, Hector Barbossa and Villanueva

"And who be ye, lad?" "Jack Sparrow. It's always regrettable to hear about the loss of a good ship, Captain Barbossa." "Aye, 'tis. And when we find the scurvy blackguard responsible, he can apologize to me little Polly personally, in Davy Jones's locker."

- Hector Barbossa and Jack Sparrow

Spoken by Barbossa
"First, your return to shore was not part of our negotiations nor our agreement, so I must do nothin'. 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!"

- Hector Barbossa to Elizabeth Swann

"I'm curious. After killing me what is it you're planning on doing next?"

- Barbossa to Elizabeth Swann

"Look! The moonlight shows us for what we really are. We are not among the living and so we cannot die. But neither we are dead. 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. You best start believing in ghost stories, Miss Turner. You're in one!"

- Barbossa to Elizabeth Swann

"Haul on the main brace! Make ready the guns!&hellip;and run out the sweeps."

- Hector Barbossa to his crew and Bo'sun

"You're off the edge of the map, mate. Here there be monsters!"

- Hector Barbossa to Jack Sparrow

"I feel&hellip;cold"

- Hector Barbossa's last words before dying

Spoken about Barbossa
"You've seen a ship with black sails that's crewed by the damned, and captained by a man so evil that Hell itself spat him back out?"

- Mullroy to Murtogg

"Captain Barbossa, and his crew of miscreants, sail from the dreaded Isla de Muerta. It's an island that cannot be found, except by those who already know where it is."

- Jack Sparrow to Will Turner about Hector Barbossa

"Three days into the venture, the First Mate comes up to him and says everything's an equal share. That should mean the location of the treasure too. So, Jack gives up the bearings. That night, there was a mutiny."

- Joshamee Gibbs to William Turner concerning the mutiny against Jack Sparrow

""Now, Will, when a pirate's marooned, he's given a pistol with a single shot. One shot. Well, that won't do much good hunting, nor to be rescued. But after three weeks of a starvin' belly and thirst, that pistol starts to look real friendly. But Jack, he escaped the island, and he still has that one shot. Oh, but he won't use it, though, save for one man. His mutinous First Mate." "Barbossa."

- Joshamee Gibbs and Will Turner

Dialogue
"Captain Barbossa, I am here to negotiate the cessation of hostilities against Port Royal." "A lot of long words in there, miss. We're naught but humble pirates. What is it that you want?" "I want you to leave and never come back." "I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request...Means "no"."

- Elizabeth Swann and Hector Barbossa

"I hardly believe in ghost stories anymore, Captain Barbossa." "Aye. That's exactly what I thought when we were first told the tale. Buried on an Isle of the Dead what cannot be found, except for those who know where it is. Find it, we did. There be the chest. Inside be the gold. And we took 'em all!""

- Elizabeth Swann and Hector Barbossa

"Gentlemen, the time has come! [The crew cheers] Our salvation is nigh! [The crew cheers] Our torment is near an end! [The crew cheers] For ten years we've been tested and tried, and each man jack of you here has proved his mettle a hundred times over, and a hundred times again!" [The crew cheers] "Suffered, I have!" "Punished, we were, the lot of us. Disproportionate to our crime! Here it is! The cursed treasure of Cortés himself. Every last piece that went astray, we have returned. Save for this."

- Hector Barbossa and Ragetti

"And who among us has paid the blood sacrifice owed to the heathen gods?" "Us!" "And whose blood must yet be paid?" "Hers!" "You know the first thing I'm gonna do after the curse is lifted? Eat a whole bushel of apples. Begun by blood, by blood undone."

- Barbossa and his crew

"How the blazes did you get off that island?" "When you marooned me on that godforsaken spit of land, you forgot one very important thing, mate&hellip;I'm Captain Jack Sparrow."

- Hector Barbossa and Jack Sparrow

"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 in my ship?" "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?"

- Hector Barbossa and Jack Sparrow

"I'm having a thought here, Barbossa. What say we run up a flag of truce, I scurry over to the Interceptor, and I negotiate the return of your medallion, eh? What say you to that?" "Now you see, Jack, that's exactly the attitude that lost you the Pearl. People are easier to search when they're dead!"

- Jack Sparrow and Hector Barbossa

"Barbossa!" "What's gotten into yer head boy?!" "Let her go!" "You've only got one shot, and we can't die." "[Jack whispers]Don't do anything stupid..." "You can't&hellip;but I can." "...like that." "Who are you?" "No one, he's no one; distant cousin of my aunt's nephew&hellip;twice removed--lovely singing voice though, [whispers] eunuch." "My name is Will Turner, my father was "Bootstrap Bill" Turner, his blood runs through my vains." "[Ragetti to crew]He's the spittin' image of our "Bootstrap Bill"!" "Now on my word, do as I say, or I'll pull this trigger, and be lost to Davy Jones' Locker!" "Name yer terms Mr. Turner." "Elizabeth goes free!" "Yes, we know that one, anything else? And the crew! The crew is not to be harmed!" "[laughs]Agreed."

- Will Turner, Hector Barbossa, Jack Sparrow, and Ragetti

"Barbossa, you lying bastard! You swore she'd go free!" "Don't dare impugn me honor, boy. I agreed she'd go free, but it was you who failed to specify when or where."

- Will Turner and Hector Barbossa

"I really rather hope we were past all this." "Jack. Jack...Did ye not notice? That be the same little island we made you governor of on our last little trip." "...I did notice."

- Jack Sparrow and Hector Barbossa

"All hands to the boats!...Apologies, you give the orders." "Gents, take a walk."

- Jack Sparrow and Hector Barbossa

"So what now Jack Sparrow? Are we to be two immortals locked in an epic battle till judgement day when trumpets sound, hmm?" "Or you could surrender."

- Hector Barbossa and Jack Sparrow

"Ten years you carry that pistol, and now you waste your shot." "He didn't waste it."

- Hector Barbossa and Will Turner

Spoken by Barbossa
"So tell me, what's become of my ship?"

- to Jack Sparrow's crew; only line

Spoken about Barbossa

- Tia Dalma to Jack Sparrow's crew

Spoken by Barbossa
"For certain, ye have to be lost to find a place that can't be found. Else ways, everyone would know where it was."

- to William Turner, Elizabeth Swann, and Joshamee Gibbs before reaching World's End

"There was a time when a pirate was free to make his own way in the world. But our time is comin' to an end. Our enemies have united, and have vowed to destroy us."

- to Sao Feng

"There's not been a gatherin' like this in our lifetime."

- on the Brethren Court

"Better were the days when mastery of seas came not from bargains struck with eldritch creatures, but from the sweat of a man's brow and the strength of his back alone. You all know this to be true."

- to the Brethren Court

"Everything we've ever faced, everything we've ever done, has led to this."

- on the conflict with Cutler Beckett

"If ye have something to say, I might be saying something as well."

- to Jack Sparrow

"I'm a little busy at the moment."

- to Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann

Dialogue
"Jack Sparrow!" "Ah, Hector! It's been too long&hellip;hasn't it?" "Aye. Isla de Muerta, remember? You shot me." "&hellip;No I didn't."

- Hector Barbossa and Jack Sparrow

"Still thinkin' of runnin', Jack? Think you can outrun the world? You know, the problem with bein' the last of anythin', is by and by there'll be none left at all." "Sometimes things come back, mate. We're living proof, you and me." "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."

- Hector Barbossa and Jack Sparrow

Spoken by Barbossa

- Hector Barbossa to the crew of the HMS Providence

"You can sleep when you're dead. Push on!"

- Hector Barbossa to the crew of the HMS Providence

"We were off the coast of Hispaniola 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 violently. Every plank, every rail, every spar all at once began to creak. The rigging had come to life! Our own ship turned against us. Tangling the crew, wrapping them around like snakes...and wrapping around my leg. But my arms were free and my sword was at hand. I am the master of my ship, not Blackbeard. I am the master of me fate, not Blackbeard! So I did what needed done...I survived."

- Hector Barbossa to Jack Sparrow

"Get it off me."

- Hector Barbossa about Gillette's dead body

"Take a gander, Edward Teach!"

- Hector Barbossa to Blackbeard, when the Spanish arrived at the Fountain of Youth

"For the Pearl!"

"I'm not such a fool to take on Blackbeard without a little...venomous advantage."

- Hector Barbossa

"The Revenge is mine."

- Hector Barbossa concerning the Queen Anne's Revenge

"All hands! Ply to windward! Get cracking, ye bloomin’ cockroaches! [laughs] The Crown served me well. But now, by the Gods of sea and sky, make way for Tortuga!"

Dialogue
"Hector. How nice to see a fellow pirate make good of himself." "Pirate? Nay. Privateer. On a sanctioned mission, under the authority and protection of the Crown."

- Jack Sparrow and Hector Barbossa

"What has become of my beloved Pearl?" "I lost the Pearl as I lost my leg." "Lost the Pearl?" "Aye. I defended her mighty enough, but she sunk nonetheless."

- Jack Sparrow and Hector Barbossa

"Be we on the proper course, Gibbs?" "Aye, it be proper. There's your proof!" [Barbossa looks through the spyglass] "The Spaniard!"

- Hector Barbossa and Joshamee Gibbs

"What do the men fear? Say it. Speak the words." "Whitecap Bay."

- Hector Barbossa and Theodore Groves

"Aye, Whitecap Bay. Every worthless seamen fears the name, and rightly so. Though few know why or dare to ask." "Be the stories true?" "Say what robs you of your staunch heart Gibbs, or forever leave it to the whiter fields of fancy." "...Mermaids, captain?" "Aye. Mermaids. Sea ghouls, devil fish, dreadful in hunger for flesh of man. Mermaid waters, that be our path. Cling to your soul, Gibbs, as mermaids be given to take the rest, to the bone."

- Hector Barbossa and Joshamee Gibbs

"Man overboard!" "Nay! A deserter!" "Come about!"

- The crewmen of the HMS Providence, Hector Barbossa and Theodore Groves

"Gentlemen. I shall not ask any more than of any men than what that man can deliver, but I do ask this: are we not King's men?" "...Aye." "On the King's mission?" "...Aye." "I did not note any fear in the eyes of the Spanish as they passed us by. Are we not King's men?" "Aye!" "Aye! Hands aloft, and bear away! Stave on ahead to Whitecap Bay!"

- Hector Barbossa and the crewmen of the HMS Providence

"You." "No...you." "I was here first. You. Why are you here?" "Blackbeard sent me. Why you?" "Silver chalices from a royal liege." "Oh, please." [the Santiago starts to tilt] "Back, back! We have to balance it out!" "Right, then. What if...we each choose an item of approximately equal weight? [picks up a vase, ship tilts over again]" "Put it back! We touch nothing!" [a chest slides out] "But what about that?" "The Chalices." [Barbossa steps backwards, ship tilts once more, moving the Chalices towards him] "Oi! Why do you get to look first?" "Fine, then!" [they switch sides, ship tilts again, they crawl towards the chest and grab its lid] "...Together.""

- Hector Barbossa and Jack Sparrow while in the Santiago

"So...You're not after the Fountain." "I care not for King George or tavern yarns that give hope for a healed limb. But I'd give my left arm for a chance at Blackbeard." "Not your right?" "I need me good arm to drive my poisoned blade through his heart." "I'll see you get the chance, mate."

- Jack Sparrow and Hector Barbossa

"Kill them!" "No quarter!"

- Hector Barbossa and Blackbeard
