Miscellaneous[]
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest[]
- "Asking for help does not sound like Jack Sparrow."
"It's not so much for me, as for William, so he can earn a favor from me."
"Now that sounds like Jack Sparrow. What service may I do you? You know I demand payment."
"I brought payment! (Jack shoots the Monkey) See? Perhaps you can give it the crocodile treatment?" - ―Tia Dalma and Jack Sparrow
- "You know of Davy Jones, yes? A man of the sea, a great sailor until he ran afoul of that which vexes all men."
"What vexes all men?"
"What, indeed?"
"The sea."
"Sums."
"The dichotomy of good and evil."
"A woman."
"A woman. He fell in love. It was a woman, as changing and harsh and untamable as the sea. He never stopped loving her, but the pain it caused him was too much to live with...but not enough to cause him to die."
"Exactly what did he put into the chest?"
"It was not worth feeling what small, fleeting joy life brings, he decided, and so he carved out his heart, locked it away in a chest, and hid the chest from the world. The key...he keeps with him at all times."
"That was a roundabout way to get to the answer."
"Sauce for the gander, Jack." - ―Tia Dalma, Will Turner, Joshamee Gibbs, Pintel, Ragetti, and Jack Sparrow
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End[]
- "Barbossa, why you not giving the order to man the bones? All the Brethren are gathering in this place now. You can force them to do as you want."
"But what I want is not to act a fool. What you're suggesting is not but fool's folly."
"If you no longer want my favor, Barbossa, then perhaps I should be calling a different captain to my cause. Witty Jack would not turn down the promise to survive the coming storm, I think."
"I do not renege on a bargain once struck. But we agreed on ends only. The means are mine to decide."
"Caution, Barbossa. Do not forget it was by my power you return from the dead. Or what it mean if you fail me."
"Don't you forget why you had to bring me back. Why I could not leave Jack to his well-deserved fate. And why I could not give Sao Feng a second smile in his throat to match that ineffably smug one that he wears on his face. It took nine Pirate Lords to bind you, Calypso. And it'll take no less than nine to set you free. Until then, I'll not be taking your commands or risking your reach an accord with someone else. Masters Pintel and Ragetti. Take this fishwife to the brig." - ―Tia Dalma and Hector Barbossa
- "You—You've come to kill me before the Brethren set me free. You fear me?"
"The Brethren's spell stripped you of your memory."
"It came back slowly, over time...and with it, some small portion of my power. Enough to rekindle life in Barbossa, when the sea fetched his body up upon my shores. Look what you've brought upon yourself. Many things you were, Davy Jones, but never a monster. Never cruel"
"I learned it from you! Ten years I commanded the Dutchman, dispatching the duty you assigned me, but when the time came to step ashore...you weren't there! Why weren't you there?"
"It's my nature. But I may have been there the next time. Would you love me if I was anything but what I am?"
"I don't love you."
"That's a shame, because I will be free, and when I am, I would give you my heart. And we would be together, always, if only you had a heart to give."
"The Brethren Court, what of them?"
"My captors? I have spent centuries not knowing what I was, because of them.... Them, all of them... They will learn cruelty." - ―Tia Dalma and Davy Jones
- "The Letters of Marque—the letters Jack gave to you. Hand them over! Come, no time! Beckett used his ring to stamp this, yes?"
"Yes..."
"The symbol is the same, from the same ring. Might it work?
"It might. Magic is funny that way." - ―Hector Barbossa, Elizabeth Swann, and Tia Dalma
- "Calypso. I come before you as but a servant, humble and contrite. I have fulfilled my vow, and now ask your favor. Spare my self, my ship, my crew -- but unleash your fury upon those who dare pretend themselves your masters, or mine!
(Calypso barely takes notice of him ... long enough to say a single word that BOOMS out over the deck --)
"FOOL!" - ―Hector Barbossa and Tia Dalma/Calypso
