Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

Gentlemen, my lady, you will always remember this as the day that you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow.

Now, 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.

— Take what you can!
— Give nothing back!

— He roped a couple of sea turtles?
— Aye, sea turtles.
— What did he use for rope?
— Human hair. From my back.

— Who makes all these?
— I do. And I practise with them three hours a day.
— You need to find yourself a girl, mate.

— How can we sail to an island that nobody can find — with a compass that doesn't work?
— Aye, the compass doesn't point north. But we're not trying to find north, are we?

Do you like pain? Try wearing a corset.

— So that's it, then? That's the secret grand adventure of the infamous Jack Sparrow? You spent three days lying on a beach drinking rum.
— Welcome to the Caribbean, love.

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 gonna do something incredibly stupid.

— Everyone, stay calm. We are taking over the ship.
— Aye. Avast.
— This ship cannot be crewed by two men. You'll never make it out of the bay.
— Son, I'm Captain Jack Sparrow. Savvy?

— It's a shilling to tie up your boat at the dock. And I shall need to know your name.
— What do you say to three shillings, and we forget the name?
— Welcome to Port Royal Mr. Smith.

Perhaps on the rare occasion pursuing the right course demands an act of piracy, piracy itself can be the right course?

Wherever we want to go, we 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.
