Jack Davenport credited as playing...
Norrington
- Jack Sparrow: You look bloody awful, what are you doing here?
- Norrington: You hired me. I can't help it if your standards are lax.
- Jack Sparrow: [immaturely] You smell funny.
- Norrington: Do excuse me while I kill the man who ruined my life.
- Will Turner: Be my guest.
- Jack Sparrow: Let us examine that claim for a moment, former Commodore, shall we? Who was it that, at the very moment you had a notorious pirate safely behind bars, saw fit to free said pirate and take your dearly beloved all to hisself, eh? So whose fault is it *really* that you've ended up a rum-pot deckhand what takes orders from pirates?
- Norrington: ENOUGH!
- [Jack somersaults off roof, Norrington turns to Will]
- Norrington: Unfortunately Mr. Turner, he's right!
- Elizabeth Swann: It's real!
- Norrington: You actually were telling the truth.
- Jack Sparrow: I do that quite a lot. Yet people are always surprised.
- Will Turner: With good reason.
- Elizabeth Swann: We're not getting out of this.
- Norrington: Not with the chest. Into the boat.
- [takes chest]
- Elizabeth Swann: You're mad.
- Norrington: Don't wait for me.
- [runs away from the longboat with the chest]
- Jack Sparrow: Uh, I say we respect his final wish.
- Norrington: [drunk and angry] So am I worthy to serve under Captain Jack Sparrow...
- [he draws his pistol and points it at Jack, who is hiding behind a pole]
- Norrington: ... or should I just kill you now?
- Jack Sparrow: [tries and fails to hide behind his pole] You're hired!
- Norrington: Sorry. Old habits and all that.
- [smiles and prepares to pull the trigger]
- Gibbs: [while recruiting in Tortuga] And what's *your* story?
- Norrington: My story? It's exactly the same as your story, just one chapter behind. I chased a man across the seven seas. The pursuit cost me my crew... my commission... and my life.
- [he swigs some rum]
- Gibbs: [a pause, as it dawns on him] ... Commodore?
- Norrington: [suddenly angry] No, not anymore, weren't you *listening*?
- Jack Sparrow: My compass is unique.
- Norrington: *Unique* here having the meaning of *broken*?
- Jack Sparrow: True enough.
- Mr. Mercer: The last of our ships is returned.
- Lord Cutler Beckett: Is there any news on the chest?
- Mr. Mercer: None. But one of the ships did pick up a man adrift at sea.
- [drops the Letters of Marque on the desk]
- Mr. Mercer: He had these.
- [Beckett opens the letter to look at it before looking up at Norrington]
- Norrington: I took the liberty of filling in my name.
- Lord Cutler Beckett: If you intend to claim these, then you must have something to trade. Do you have the Compass?
- Norrington: [shakes his head] Better.
- [tosses a bag onto Beckett's desk]
- Norrington: The heart of Davey Jones.
- Hadras: [chuckles evilly] Your bravery is wasted. I shall pry the chest away from your cold... dead... hands.
- Norrington: [looks around, then tosses the empty chest into Hadras' hands] Here you go!
- Norrington: Come on, then! Who wants some? Form an orderly line, I'll have you all one by one. Come on, who's first?
- Elizabeth Swann: [Grabs bottle from Norrington's hand and smashes it over his head] I just wanted the pleasure of doing that myself!
- Jack Sparrow: [pulls out sword and threatens Will] Can't let you do that, William. 'Cause if Jones is dead, who's to call his terrible beastie off the hunt, eh? Now, if you please. The key.
- Will Turner: [Pulls his sword on Jack] I keep the promises I make, Jack. I intend to free my father. I hope you're here to see it.
- Norrington: [Norrington draws his sword, points it at Will] I can't let you do that, either. So sorry.
- Jack Sparrow: [to Norrington] I knew you'd warm up to me eventually.
- Norrington: [Norrington points his sword at Jack] Lord Beckett desires the contents of that chest. I deliver it, I get my life back.
- Jack Sparrow: Ah. The dark side of ambition.
- Norrington: Oh, I prefer to see it as the promise of redemption.
- Norrington: There was a time when I would have given anything for you to look like that while thinking about me.
- Elizabeth Swann: I don't know what you mean.
- Norrington: I think you do.
- Elizabeth Swann: Oh, don't be absurd, I trust him, that's all.
