Will : [sharpening his sword] When I was a lad living in England , my mother raised me by herself. After she died, I came out here, looking for my father.
Jack : Is that so?
Will: My father, Will Turner . And in jail it was only after you learned my name that you agreed to help. Since that’s what I wanted, I didn’t press the matter. I’m not a simpleton, Jack. You knew my father.
Jack : I knew ‘im. Probably one the few who knew him as William Turner , everyone else just called him Bootstrap or Bootstrap Bill.
Will: Bootstrap?
Jack : Good man, good pirate. I swear you look just like him.
Will : It’s not true, he was a merchant sailor; a good, respectable man who obeyed the law
Jack : He was a bloody pirate, a scallywag.
Will : My father was not a pirate. [takes out his sword]
Jack : Put it away, son. It’s not worth you getting beat again.
Will : You didn’t beat me; you ignored the rules of engagement. In a fair fight, I’d have killed you.
Jack : And that’s no incentive for me to fight fair, is it? [moves one of the sails so that the yard catches Will and swings him out over the sea] And as long as you’re just hanging there, pay attention. The only rules that really matter are these: what a man can do and what a man can’t do. For instance – you can accept that your father was a pirate and a good man or you can’t. But pirate is in your blood, boy, so you’ll have to square with that someday. And me, for example, I can let you drown but I can’t bring this ship into Tortuga all by me onesies, savvy? So…[swings him back on board and offers him his sword] can you sail under the command of a pirate or can you not?
Will : [takes the sword] Tortuga ?
Jack : Tortuga .
Jack : [on the island] …(?) port and port alike it is a sad life that has never breathed deep the sweet, proliferous bouquet that is Tortuga , savvy? What do you think?
Will : It'll linger.
Jack : If every island were like this one, no man would ever feel unwanted.
Jack : Scarlet! [she slaps him] Not sure I deserved that. Giselle!
Giselle: Who was she?!
Jack : What? [she slaps him] I may have deserved that.
Scene 11: (A proposition)
Gibbs : [ Jack throws a bucket of water at him] Curse you for breathing, you slack jawed idiot! Mother’s love! Jack ! You should know better then to wake a man when he’s sleeping. ‘S bad luck.
Jack : Ah, 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.
Gibbs : Aye, that'll about do it. [ Will throws another bucket of water at him] Blast! I’m already awake!
Will : That was for the smell.
Jack : [they enter a tavern; to Will ] Keep a sharp eye. [sits at a table with Gibbs ]
Gibbs : Now, what the nature of this venture your’n?
Jack : I’m going after the Black Pearl. [ Gibbs almost chokes on his drink] I know where it’s going to be and I’m going to take it.
Gibbs : Jack , it’s a fool’s errand. Well, you know better than me the tales of the Black Pearl.
Jack : That’s why I know what Barbossa is up to… all I need is a crew.
Gibbs : From what I hear tell of Captain Barbossa , he’s not a man to suffer fools nor strike a bargain with one.
Jack : Well, then I say it’s a very good thing I’m not a fool then, aye?
Gibbs : Prove me wrong. What makes ye think Brabossa will give up his ship to you?
Jack : Let’s just say it’s a matter of leverage, aye? [nods at Will ]
Gibbs : The kid?
Jack : That is the child of Bootstrap Bill Turner. His only child, savvy?
Gibbs : Is he now? Leverage says you, I think I feel a change in the wind says I. I’ll find us a crew, there’s bound to be some sailors on this rock crazy as you.
Jack : One can only hope. Take what you can… [toasts Gibbs ]
Gibbs : [they clink their tankards] …Give nothing back. [drain their drinks]
Jack : Is that so?
Will: My father, Will Turner . And in jail it was only after you learned my name that you agreed to help. Since that’s what I wanted, I didn’t press the matter. I’m not a simpleton, Jack. You knew my father.
