Quotes

Jack Sparrow : Anamaria.
[Anamaria slaps Jack]
Will Turner : I suppose, you didn't deserve that one either?
Jack Sparrow : No, that one I deserved.
Anamaria : You stole my boat!
Jack Sparrow : Actually...
Anamaria : [Anamaria slaps Jack again]
Jack Sparrow : Borrowed... borrowed without permission, but with every intention of bringing it back.
Anamaria : But you didn't!
Jack Sparrow : You'll get another one.
Anamaria : I will.
Will Turner : A better one.
Jack Sparrow : A better one.
Will Turner : That one.
Jack Sparrow : What one?
Will Turner : [Will looks at the Interceptor]
Jack Sparrow : That one? Aye, that one. What say you to that?
The Crew : Aye!
Mr. Gibbs : No, it's frightful bad luck to have a woman aboard.
Jack Sparrow : It would be far worse not to have her.

[Jack throws a bucket of water on sleeping Gibbs]
Mr. Gibbs : Curse you for breathin' ya slack-jawed idiot. Mother's love. Jack. You should know better than to wake a man when he's sleepin'. Its bad luck.
Jack Sparrow : Fortunately, I know how to counter it; the man who did the waking buys the man who was sleeping a drink; the man who was sleeping drinks it while listening to a proposition from the man who did the waking.
Mr. Gibbs : Aye, that'll about do it.
[Will throws more water on Mr. Gibbs]
Mr. Gibbs : Blast! I'm already awake!
Will Turner : That was for the smell.
-
[shouting during severe storm]
Will Turner : How can we sail to an island that nobody can find with a compass that doesn't work?
Mr. Gibbs : Aye, the compass doesn't point North. But we're not trying to find North, are we?
-
Young Elizabeth : I think it'd be rather exciting to meet a pirate.
Norrington : Think again, Miss Swann. Vile and dissolute creatures, the lot of them. I intend to see 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.
Mr. Gibbs : [Mr. Gibbs poses as if he's been hanged]
Governor Swann : Lt. Norrington, I appreciate your fervor, but I'm concerned about the effect this subject will have upon my daughter.
Norrington : My apologies, Gov. Swann.
Young Elizabeth : Actually, I find it all fascinating.
Governor Swann : Yes. That's what concerns me.
-
Mr. Gibbs : Then, on the fourth day, he roped himself a couple of sea turtles, lashed 'em together and made a raft.
Will Turner : He roped a couple of sea turtles.
Mr. Gibbs : Aye. Sea turtles.
Will Turner : What did he use for rope?
Jack Sparrow : [from beside them] Human hair.
[pause]
Jack Sparrow : From my back.
-
Jack Sparrow : I thought you were supposed to keep to the code.
Mr. Gibbs : We figured they were more actual guidelines.

[first lines]
Young Elizabeth : [singing] Yo, ho, yo, ho/ a pirate's life for me/ Yo, ho, yo, ho/ it's a pirate's life for me/drink up me hearties, yo, ho...
Mr. Gibbs : [surprises her by coming up from behind her] Quiet, missy! Cursed pirates sail these waters. You want to call them down on us?
Norrington : [sharply] Mr. Gibbs, that will do!
Mr. Gibbs : She was singing about pirates. Bad luck to sing about pirates, with us mired in this unnatural fog... mark my words!
Norrington : Consider them marked.
Mr. Gibbs : 'Aye, Lieutenant.
[as he moves off]
Mr. Gibbs : Bad luck to have a woman on board, too. Even a miniature one.
-
Elizabeth : Lower the anchor on the right side.
Anamaria : [looks stunned]
Elizabeth : On the starboard side!
Will Turner : It has the element of surprise.
Anamaria : You're daft lady. You both are!
Mr. Gibbs : Daft like Jack.
[turns to the crew]
Mr. Gibbs : Lower the starboard anchor!
[crew looks reluctant]
Mr. Gibbs : Do it you gobs! Or it's you we'll load into the cannons.
-
Jack Sparrow : You, sailor.
Mr. Gibbs : Cotton, sir.
Jack Sparrow : Mr. Cotton. Do you have the courage and fortitude to follow orders and stay true in the face of danger and almost certain death?
[pause]
Jack Sparrow : Mr. Cotton. Answer, man.
Mr. Gibbs : He's a mute, sir. Poor devil had his tongue cut out, so he trained the parrot to talk for him. No one's yet figured how.
Jack Sparrow : Mr. Cotton's... parrot. Same question.
Parrot : [squawk] Wind in the sails. Wind in the sails.
Mr. Gibbs : Mostly, we figure, that means 'yes.'
-
Mr. Gibbs : The kid's a bit of a stick, isn't he?
Jack Sparrow : You have no idea.
-
Mr. Gibbs : We should drop canvas, sir.
Jack Sparrow : She can hold a bit longer.
Mr. Gibbs : What's in your head, Captain, that puts you in such a fine mood?
Jack Sparrow : We're catching up.
-
Young Elizabeth : Boy! There's a boy in the water!
[Everyone leans over and sees an unconscious Will]
Norrington : MAN OVERBOARD! Haul him in.
[They pull Will aboard]
Norrington : [sighs] He's still breathing.
Mr. Gibbs : Mary, mother of God!
[Everyone looks in the distance, where a destroyed British ship is in flames]
-
Mr. Gibbs : Leverage, says you. I think I feel a change in the wind, says I.
-
Parrot : Shiver me timbers.
Mr. Gibbs : Cotton 'ere says you missed a bit.
-
Mr. Gibbs : Curse ya for breathin', ya slack-jawed idiot!
