So you cast yourself aside in advance? To save yourself some hurt, you hurt yourself? What kind of way is that to live?' She shrugged one shoulder. 'A safe way?' He released a gusty laugh. 'Is that what you call safe? It's not a safe way, Sparrow, it...
Definitely not," Talon said. "If you screw up like that, you don't get another chance." "But what if he really loves her and it was a mistake?" "It wasn't," Talon said firmly. "He'd keep his cockadoodle in his pants if he loved her. He wouldn't hurt ...
Jack Sparrow: I know those cannons. It's the Pearl. Man in Jail: The Black Pearl? I've heard stories. She's been preying on ships and settlements for near ten years. Never leaves any survivors. Jack Sparrow: No survivors? Then where do the stories co...
Jack Sparrow: [after Will draws his sword] Put it away, son. It's not worth you getting beat again. Will Turner: You didn't beat me. You ignored the rules of engagement. In a fair fight, I'd kill you. Jack Sparrow: That's not much incentive for me to...
Will Turner: She goes free. Barbossa: What's in your head, boy? Will Turner: She goes free. Barbossa: You've only got one shot and we can't die. Jack Sparrow: Don't do anything stupid. Will Turner: You can't. [points gun at his own throat] Will Turne...
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 ...
Winter gold: the sparrow's footprints in the snow.
Tradition was safety; change was danger.

I dare say it is rather hard to be a rat,” she mused. “Nobody likes you. People jump and run away and scream out: ‘Oh, a horrid rat!’ I shouldn’t like people to scream and jump and say: ‘Oh, a horrid Sara!’ the moment they saw me, and s...
Jack Sparrow: [looking at all the swords] Who makes all these? Will Turner: I do. And I practice with them three hours a day. Jack Sparrow: You need to find yourself a girl, mate. Or perhaps the reason you practice three hours a day is that you alrea...
Murtogg: What we doin' 'ere? Mullroy: The pirates come out, unprepared and unawares. We catch 'em in a crossfire... send 'em down to see Old Hob. Murtogg: I know *why* we're here. I mean, why aren't we doin' what - what Mr. Sparrow said? With the can...
Barbossa: So you expect to leave me standing on some beach with nothing but a name and your word it's the one I need and watch you sail away on my ship? Jack Sparrow: No. I expect to leave you standing on some beach with absolutely no name at all, wa...
But only a leper shows its sins to the world.
The League is very well when sparrows shout, but no good at all when eagles fall out.
[duelling with Jack, Barbossa suddenly throws away his sword] Barbossa: You can't beat me, Jack! [In reply, Jack stabs him with his sword. Barbossa simply sighs, pulls the blade out of his body and stabs Jack with it. He smiles as Jack totters - but ...
