Terry Rossio

She's safe, just like I promised. She's all set to marry Norrington, just like she promised. And you get to die for her, just like you promised. So we're all men of our word really… except for, of course, Elizabeth, who is in fact, a woman.

This is the day you will always remember as the day you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow!

Me? I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly... stupid.

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 some day. And me, for example, I can let you drown, but I can't bring this ship into Tortuga all by me onesies, savvy? So, can you sail under the command of a pirate, or can you not?

I think we've all arrived at a very special place. Spiritually, ecumenically, grammatically.

I want you to know that I was rooting for you. Know that.

Elizabeth… it would never have worked between us darling. I'm sorry… Will… nice hat. Friends… This is the day that you will ALWAYS remember as the day that you…

I'm terribly sorry, I didn't know. If I see one, I shall inform you immediately.

Apparently there's some sort of 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?

It's a fine goal, to be sure. But it seems to me… that a ship like that one, makes this one here seem a bit superfluous, really.

You need to find yourself a girl, mate. Or perhaps the reason you practice three hours a day is that you already found one, and are otherwise incapable of wooing said strumpet. You're not a eunuch are you?

I love this song. Really bad eggs. Ooh.

When I get the Pearl back, I'm gonna teach it to the whole crew, and we'll sing it all the time.

Not just the Spanish Main, love. The entire ocean. The entire wo'ld. Wherever we want to go, we'll go. That's what a ship is, you know. It's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs but what a ship is… what the Black Pearl really is… is freedom.

Last time... I was here a grand total of three days, all right? Last time, the rum runners used this island as a cache, they came past and I was able to barter passage off. By the look of things, they've long been out of business. Probably have your bloody friend Norrington to thank for that.

Do us a favor… I know it's difficult for you… but please, stay here, and try not to do anything… stupid.

No. I expect to leave you standing on some beach with absolutely no name at all, watching me sail away on my ship, and then I'll shout the name back to you. Savvy?

Of the two of us, I am the only one who hasn't committed mutiny, therefore my word is the one we'll be trusting. Although, I suppose I should be thanking you because in fact, if you hadn't betrayed me and left me to die, I would have an equal share in that curse same as you.

That's the second time I've had to watch that man sail away with my ship.

To what point and purpose, young missy? The Black Pearl is gone and unless you have a rudder and a lot of sails hidden in that bodice - unlikely - young Mr. Turner will be dead long before you can reach him.

You know, for having such a bleak outlook on pirates you are well on your way to becoming one: sprung a man from jail, commandeered a ship of the fleet, sailed with a buccaneer crew out of Tortuga, and you're completely obsessed with treasure.

Thank you, Commodore, for getting us ready to make sail! We would have had a hard time of it by ourselves!We could use a ship. But the truth is, I wasn't going to tell Barbossa about Will, as long as I had something to bargain with, which now nobody has, thanks to bloody stupid Will.

Me, I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest; honestly… it's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly stupid.

There is a saying, a very old saying: when the pupil is ready the master will appear.

This is called a training circle, a master's wheel. This circle will be your world, your whole life. Until I tell you otherwise, there is nothing outside of it.

There is NOTHING outside of it. Captain Love does not exist until I say he exists. As your skill with the sword improves, you will progress to a smaller circle. With each new circle, your world contracts, bringing you that much closer to your adversary, that much closer to retribution.

I gave my life to them, and in return I lost everything. My wife was murdered before my eyes, and my child was stolen to be raised by my mortal enemy.

No, I will take my daughter. And don't pretend she means nothing to you.

You're too young to understand.

Alejandro, I taught you everything you needed to survive. Now, I must look to my own heart. Elena is all I have left, I'm not going to lose her again.

They still have Zorro.

You have passion, Alejandro, and your skill is growing. But to enter Montero's world, I must give you something which is completely beyond your reach.

No, not today. He is trained to kill. You seem trained to drink. Oh, yes, my friend, you would have fought very bravely, and died very quickly. Who then would avenge your brother?

You cannot imagine, Rafael, how I have dreamed of this moment, night and day, twenty long years.

And suddenly lightning flashed and a mighty thunder shook the wasted land, and the evil king glared at the good prince and said... something very forgettable.

The world is a very strange place… to have found you at last - only to lose you again.

It's only the sound of my voice. Soon she will have no time for them.

You killed somebody?

Of course not. Tell me, in what way did you break the most sacred of commandments.

Look at me, I look like a butterfly. This is the most stupid thing I've ever done.

Three days? How many sins could you have committed in three days? Come back when you have more time, please.

A sense of the miraculous in everyday life.

You were trying; she was succeeding. Forgive me, Captain Love. A shameless joke at your expense… and I hope it won't be the last.

And so it was. Lighting split the sky, thunder shook the earth, and then all was quiet. The great warrior known as Zorro was gone. The people of the land gave him a hero's funeral, the largest anyone had ever seen. They came from far and wide to say farewell to their brave and noble champion. But don't worry, little Joaquin. Whenever great deeds are remembered, your grandfather will live on. For there must always, always be a Zorro. And some day, when he's needed, we will see him again... on his fearsome steed Tornado, riding like the wind, his sword blazing in the sun... leaping, jumping, swinging through the air... fighting like a lion. Fighting like a tiger. Fighting... ... as safely as possible.

Be careful senorita, there are dangerous men about.

She does. But you taught me to see beyond personal feelings, remember? Was that all a lie?

To understand what? Betrayal? All the work, all the training, all the wise words, for what? To smile in the face of my brother's killer while you make your own plans?

He has been many different men, but he has loved you as all of them.

He probably wears the mask to hide his bald head and unsightly features.

All that shooting guns, racing around on horses - gives me a frightful headache. It's hardly the work of a gentleman.

No, but increasing one's holdings so as to provide comfort to ladies. Such as yourself.
