Quote:James Norrington

Spoken by James Norrington
"Vile and dissolute creatures, the lot of them. I intend to see to it that any man who sails under a pirate flag or wears a pirate brand gets what he deserves. A short drop and a sudden stop."

- expressing view on pirates to Elizabeth Swann

"You look lovely, Elizabeth. I apologize if I seem forward, but I must speak my mind. This promotion throws into sharp relief that which I have not yet achieved. A marriage to a fine woman. You have become a fine woman, Elizabeth."

- to Elizabeth Swann

"Had a brush with the East India Trading Company, did we, pirate?"

- to Jack Sparrow

"No additional shot nor powder. A compass that doesn’t point North. And I half expected it to be made of wood. You are without doubt the worst pirates I’ve ever heard of."

- to Jack Sparrow upon examining his "effects"

"Well, I trust that you will always remember this is the day that Captain Jack Sparrow almost escaped. Take him away."

- following Jack Sparrow's capture

"Mr. Turner, you are not a military man. You are not a sailor. You are a blacksmith. And this is not the moment for rash actions. Do not make the mistake of thinking you are the only man here who cares for Elizabeth."

- to Will Turner

"That is without doubt the worst pirate I have ever seen."

- on Jack Sparrow

"The ship is ours gentlemen."

- upon retaking the Dauntless

"This is a beautiful sword. I would expect the man who made it to show the same care and devotion in every aspect of his life."

- to Will Turner on his sword
