3 quotesNegotiating with Pirates: A Disinclined Response
Elizabeth
Captain Barbossa, I am here to negotiate the cessation of hostilities against Port Royal.
Barbossa
There are a lot of long words in there, Miss; we're naught but humble pirates. What is it that you want?
Elizabeth
I want you to leave and never come back.
Barbossa
I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request. Means "no".
Elizabeth
Very well. I'll drop it.
[dangles medallion over the sea]
Barbossa
Me holds are burstin with swag. That bit of shine matters to us? Why?
[Nonchalantly at first, then curious]
Elizabeth
It's what you've been searching for. I recognize this ship! I saw it eight years ago on the crossing from England!
Barbossa
Did ya, now?
Elizabeth
Fine. Well, I suppose if it is worthless then there's no point in me keeping it.
Barbossa
No! Ah... You have a name, Missy?
Elizabeth
Elizabeth... Turner. I'm a maid in the Governor's household.
Barbossa
Miss Turner...?
Pintel
Bootstrap.
[to Raggetti]
Barbossa
And how does a maid come to own a trinket such as that? Family heirloom, perhaps?
Elizabeth
I didn't steal it, if that's what you mean.
[uncertain]
Barbossa
Very well, you hand it over and we'll put your town to our rudder and ne'er return.
Elizabeth
Our bargain?
[she hands it over]
Bo'sun
Still the guns and stow em. Signal the men, set the flags and make good to clear port.
[after a nod from Barbossa]
Elizabeth
Wait! You have to take me to shore. According to the Code of the Order of the Brethren-
Barbossa
{{anchor|guidelines}}First, your return to shore was not part of our negotiations nor our agreement so I must do nothing. And secondly, you must be a pirate for the pirate's code to apply and you're not. And thirdly, the Code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules. Welcome aboard the Black Pearl, Miss Turner!

Bo'sun
You two! You brought us the wrong person!

It was you who sent Bootstrap to the depths!
Bo'sun

If any coward here dare challenge me, let him speak! Hmm?
[drawing his own sword]
