Quotes17

  • Davey Jones: Do you fear... death? Do you fear that dark abyss? All your deeds laid bare, all your sins punished?
  • Davey Jones: Life is cruel. Why should the afterlife be any different?
  • Davey Jones: You are neither dead nor dying. What is your purpose here?
  • Will Turner: [quickly] Jack Sparrow sent me to settle his debt.
  • Davey Jones: What is your purpose here?
  • Will Turner: Jack Sparrow? Sent me to settle his debt?
  • Davey Jones: [laughs] Did he, now? I'm sorely tempted to accept that offer.
  • Davey Jones: You have a debt to pay. You've been captain of the Black Pearl for thirteen years. That was our agreement.
  • Jack Sparrow: Technically, I was only captain for two years, then I was viciously mutinied upon.
  • Davey Jones: Then you were a poor captain, but a captain nonetheless! Have you not introduced yourself all these years as "Captain Jack Sparrow"?
  • Davey Jones: Damn you, Jack Sparrow...
  • Davey Jones: I wonder, Sparrow, can you live with this? Can you condemn an innocent man, a friend, to a lifetime of servitude in your name while you roam free?
  • Jack Sparrow: [thinks for a second] Yep. I'm good with it.
  • 'Bootstrap' Bill Turner: Wondering how it's played?
  • Will Turner: I understand. It's a game of deception. But your bet includes all the dice, not just your own. What are they wagering?
  • 'Bootstrap' Bill Turner: Oh, the only thing we have. Years of service.
  • Will Turner: So any crew member can be challenged?
  • 'Bootstrap' Bill Turner: Aye. Anyone.
  • Will Turner: I challenge Davy Jones.
  • Davy Jones: [Davy Jones is stepping down the stairs and as he does, barnacles and mussels hanging on the steps retract] I accept, mate
  • Davey Jones: Let no joyful voice be heard! Let no man look up at the sky with hope! And let this day be cursed by we who ready to wake... the Kraken!
  • 'Bootstrap' Bill Turner: No!
  • Crewmember: Five lashes will remind you to stay on 'em!
  • 'Bootstrap' Bill Turner: No!
  • Crewmember: Impeding me in my duties? You'll share the punishment!
  • 'Bootstrap' Bill Turner: I'll take it all!
  • Davy Jones: Will you, now? And what would prompt such an act of charity?
  • 'Bootstrap' Bill Turner: My son. He's my son.
  • Davey Jones: They're here. And I cannot set foot on land for near of a decade.
  • Maccus: You'll trust us to act in your stead.
  • Davey Jones: I'll trust you to know what awaits you should you fail!
  • Davey Jones: [after watching the Kraken devour Jack] Jack Sparrow... Our debt is settled.
  • Maccus: The boy's not here. He must've been claimed by the sea.
  • Davey Jones: *I* am the sea.
  • [dramatic turn and speaking to Boodstrap]
  • Davey Jones: You need time alone with your thoughts. Brigg!
  • Koleniko - Dutchman: [voice heard from off-screen] What of the survivors?
  • [each of the survivors are being held by one of the Flying Dutchman crew members]
  • Davey Jones: There are no survivors.
  • [Jones walks away]
  • Davey Jones: [Maccus then gives the crew members the signal to behead and execute the survivors, unaware that Will Turner is watching]
  • Davy Jones: How do you know of the key?
  • Jack Sparrow: [talking about Jack's debt to Jones] You already have my payment. One soul to serve on your ship is already over there.
  • Davey Jones: One soul is not equal to another.
  • Jack Sparrow: Ah-ha! So, we've established my proposal as sound in principle. Now, we're just haggling over price.
  • Davy Jones: Life is cruel! Why should the afterlife be any different?
  • Davey Jones: Let them taste the triple guns.
  • Ogilvey: Aye, Captain.
  • Will Turner: [Deleted Scene] I wager everything I own.
  • Davey Jones: I only bet what's nearest to a man's heart. Else, there's no way to tell if he's bluffing. When a man is willing to risk, or not to risk, that's a measure of his soul.
  • Will Turner: I wager a hundred years of service.
  • 'Bootstrap' Bill Turner: No!
  • Davey Jones: Against your freedom?
  • Will Turner: Against my father's freedom.
  • [Starts shaking the dice]
  • Davey Jones: Agreed.
  • [They both slam their cups on the table and Will looks at his dice]
  • Will Turner: Two threes.
  • Davey Jones: You're a desperate man. What is the cause?
  • [Chuckles]
  • Davey Jones: It could only be a woman.
  • [Looks at his dice]
  • Davey Jones: Three threes.
  • Will Turner: A woman need not cause you to be desperate, if you choose the right woman. Four threes.
  • Davey Jones: I remember now. You're the one who hopes to get married, but your fate is to be married to this ship.
  • Will Turner: I choose my own fate.
  • Davey Jones: Then it wouldn't be fate, would it? Five threes.
  • Will Turner: [Will's dice are revealed to show he has four sixes] Five sixes!
  • Davey Jones: Liar!
  • [the dice are revealed to show that Will was telling the truth. The crew murmurs in astonishment as Davy Jones taps his pipe to his claw, congratulating Turner]
  • Davey Jones: Well done, Master Turner.
  • [He turns to walk away]
  • 'Bootstrap' Bill Turner: [Confronting Jones] I'm free Jones.
  • Will Turner: [Stands up] Another game?
  • Davey Jones: You can't best the devil twice son.
  • Will Turner: Then why are you walking away?
