Scene 3: (A most excellent entrance, the debate, and the proposal)
[Jack stands on the mast of his boat, noticing that it’s filling up with water he jumps down to bail it out; notices three pirate skeletons hanging with a sign “pirates ye be warned” and pays homage to them; reaches the port, his boat sinking lower and lower until he is at the dock and is able to simply walk off the boat’s mast]
Harbormaster: [to Jack ] What? Hold up there, you. It’s a shilling to tie up your boat at the docks. [they both look at the sunken boat] And I shall need to know your name.
Jack : [hands his three shillings] What d’ye say to three shillings and we forget the name
Harbormaster: Welcome to Port Royal , Mr. Smith . [ Jack sees the Harbormasters money pouch and takes it]
[Norrington’s promotion ceremony] Shouted orders to soldiers: Two paces front! Right about turn! Present arms! [Norrington walks to get his promotion, unsheathes his new sword]
Murtogg: [spots Jack ] This dock is off limits to civilians.
Jack : I’m terribly sorry, I didn’t know. If I see one, I shall inform you immediately. [tries to continue on his way but is again thwarted] Apparently there’s some sort of a high toned and fancy to do up at the fort, eh? How could it be that two upstanding gentlemen such as yourselves did not merit an invitation?
Murtogg: Someone has to make sure this dock stays off limits to civilians.
Jack : It’s a fine goal to be sure but it seems to me that a…[shifts again] a ship like that [points out the Dauntless] makes this one here a bit superfluous, really.
Murtogg: Ah, the Dauntless is the power in these waters, true enough, but there’s no ship that can match the Interceptor for speed.
Jack : I’ve heard of one, supposed to be very fast, nigh un-catchable…the Black Pearl.
Mullroy: Well…there’s no real ship that can match the Interceptor.
Murtogg: The Black Pearl is a real ship.
Mullroy: No, no it’s not.
Murtogg: Yes, it is, I’ve seen it.
Mullroy: You’ve seen it?
Murtogg: Yes.
Mullroy: You haven’t seen it.
Murtogg: Yes, I have.
Mullroy: 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?
Murtogg: No.
Mullroy: No.
Murtogg: But I have seen a ship with black sails. [ Jack slips away while they banter]
Mullroy: Oh, so no ship that’s not crewed by the damned and captained by a man so evil that Hell itself spat him back out could possibly have black sails therefore couldn’t possibly be any other ship than the Black Pearl. Is that what you’re saying?
Murtogg: [nods] No.
Mullroy: Like I said… there’s no real ship that can match the Interceptor. [notices Jack at the wheel of the Interceptor]
Murtogg: Hey! You! Get away from there.
Mullroy: You don’t have permission to be aboard there, mate.
Jack : I’m sorry, it’s just it’s such a pretty boat – ship.
Murtogg: What’s your name?
Jack : Smith or…Smithy, if you like.
Mullroy: What’s your purpose in Port Royal , Mr. Smith ?
Murtogg: Yeah, and no lies.
Jack: Well, then, I confess, it is my intention to commandeer one of these ships, pick up a crew in Tortuga, raid, pillage, plunder and otherwise pilfer my weasely black guts out!
Murtogg: I said no lies!
Mullroy: I think he’s telling the truth.
Murtogg: If he were telling the truth, he wouldn’t have told us.
Jack : Unless, of course, he knew you wouldn’t believe the truth even if he told it to you.
[on the battlements of the Fort] Norrington: May I have a moment? 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 .
Elizabeth : I can’t breathe.
Norrington: Yes, I’m a bit nervous myself. [she falls over battlement]
Scene 4: (The daring rescue and escape)
Jack : [in boat with guards] …and then they made me their chief.
Norrington: Elizabeth ? Elizabeth ! [makes to jump in after her]
Gillette : [stops him] The rocks! Sir, it’s a miracle she missed them.
Jack : Will you be saving her then?
Mullroy: I can’t swim.
Jack : [glances at Murtogg who stares back at him] Pride of the King’s Navy you are. [hands the guards his effects] Do not lose these. [dives in to save her]
Murtogg: [the medallion calls to the Black Pearl] What was that? [helps Jack with Elizabeth ] I got her. Not breathing!
Jack : Move! [shoves him aside, cuts open corset]
Mullroy: Never would have thought of that.
Jack : Clearly you’ve never been to Singapore . [sees medallion, to Elizabeth ] Where did you get that?
Norrington: [to Jack , pointing his sword at him] On your feet.
Governor Swann : [helps Elizabeth up] Elizabeth . Are you alright?
Elizabeth : Yes, I’m fine.
Governor Swann : [Murtogg points at Jack ] Shoot him!
Elizabeth : Father! Commodore, do you really intend to kill my rescuer?
Norrington: I believe thanks are in order. [offers his hand to shake; reveals ‘P’ for pirate] Had a brush with the East India Trading company, did we, pirate?
Governor Swann : Hang him.
Norrington: Keep your guns on him, men. Gillette , fetch some irons. [sees tattoo of a sparrow in flight] Well, well… Jack Sparrow , isn’t it?
Jack : Captain Jack Sparrow , if you please, sir.
Norrington: I don’t see your ship…Captain.
Jack : I’m in the market as it were.
Murtogg: He said he’d come to commandeer one.
Mullroy: Told ya he was telling the truth. These are his, sir. [hands him Jack ’s effects]
Norrington: No additional shots nor powder. A compass that doesn’t point north. [unsheathes sword] And I half expected it to be made of wood. You are, without doubt, the worst pirate I’ve ever heard of.
Jack : But you have heard of me. [is pulled along to be put in chains]
Elizabeth : Commodore, I really must protest.
Norrington: Careful Lieutenant.
Elizabeth : Pirate or not this man saved my life.
Norrington: One good deed is not enough to redeem a man of a lifetime of wickedness.
Jack : Though it seems enough to condemn him.
Norrington: Indeed. [ Gillette moves away from Jack ]
Jack : Finally. [throws his irons around Elizabeth ’s neck]
Governor Swann : No, don’t shoot!
Jack : I knew you’d warm up to me. Commodore Norrington, my effects, please, and my hat. Commodore! Elizabeth , isn’t it?
Elizabeth : It’s Miss Swann .
Jack : Miss Swann , if you’d be so kind. Come, come, dear, we don’t have all day. Now if you’d be very kind. [she straps on his sword, puts on his hat, etc.] Easy on the goods, darling.
Elizabeth : You’re despicable.
Jack : Sticks and stones, love. I saved your life, you saved mine, we’re square. Gentlemen, m’lady, you will always remember this as the day that you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow ! [pushes Elizabeth away and escapes]
Governor Swann : Now, will you shoot him?
Norrington: Open fire! [ Jack is shot at] On his heels. [ Jack throws his chains about a rope and slides down to the ground] Gillette , Mr. Sparrow has a dawn appointment with the gallows…I would hate for him to miss it.
Soldier: [the soldiers run around searching for Jack ] Search upstairs. Look lively, men.
