Scene 17: (The chase and the fight)
Gibbs: Hands aloft to loose t'gallants. With this wind she'll carry every sail we've got.
Elizabeth: [the crew is running around] What's happening?
Anamaria: The Black Pearl, she's gaining on us. [looks out at the Pearl]
Elizabeth: This is the fastest ship in the Caribbean .
Anamaria: You can tell them that after they've caught us.
Elizabeth: We're shallow on the draft, right?
Anamaria: Aye.
Elizabeth: Well, then can't we lose them amongst those shoals?
Gibbs: We don't have to outrun them long, just long enough.
Anamaria: Lighten the ship, stem to stern.
Gibbs: Anything that we can afford to lose…see that it's lost.
[on the Black Pearl] Jack: [is locked in the brig by Bo'sun; he sloshes in the water]Apparently there's a leak.
Barbossa: Haul on the main brace. Make ready the guns. And run out the sweeps. [the Jolly Roger is hoisted up]
[on the Interceptor, barrels are tossed over the side]Will: [looks out at the Black Pearland sees the oars; stops a cannon from being thrown off] We're gonna need that.
Anamaria: [sees the oars] It was a good plan up 'till now.
Will: Gibbs ! We have to make a stand. We must fight! Load the guns!
Anamaria: With what?
Will: Anything. Everything! Anything we have left.
Gibbs: Load the guns! Take shot and langrage. Nails and crushed glass! With a will! [they stuff cutlery and other assorted items into the cannons including Gibbs' canteen] The Pearl is going to luff up on our port quarter. She'll rake us without ever presenting a target.
Elizabeth: Lower the anchor on the right side. On the starboard side!
Will: It certainly has the element of surprise.
Anamaria: You're daft, lady! You both are!
Gibbs: Daft like Jack ! Lower the starboard anchor! Do it ye dogs or it's you we'll load into the cannons! [the anchor is lowered]
Elizabeth: [to Anamaria] Let go. [she lets go of the wheel and the ship swings about]
Barbossa: They're clubhaulin'! Hard aport. Rack the starboard oars.
Bo'sun: Hard aport! [the two ships come up side by side]
Will: Keep us steady now. Now!
Barbossa: Fire!
Elizabeth: Fire! [the ships exchange cannon fire]
Jack: [a whole is blown in the hull] Stop blowing holes in my ship! [notices that the shot from the cannon destroyed the lock on the cell door]
Gibbs: We could use a few more ideas, lass.
Elizabeth: Your turn.
Gibbs: We need us a devil's dowry.
Anamaria: We'll give them her. [points her pistol at Elizabeth]
Will: She's not what they're after.
Elizabeth: [notices that it's not at her throat] The medallion. [Willgoes to search for it below]
Barbossa: Strike yer colors ya bloomin' cockroaches. Hands! Grapples, at the ready. Prepare to board! [Ragetti and Pintel fire a shot that severs the mast and it falls over; grapple hooks are thrown as pirates board the Interceptor] … (?) Koehler and Twigg go to the powder magazine. And the rest of you bring me the medallion! [pirates board the Interceptor]
Will: [is trapped when the mast falls] Hey! Hey! Below!
Jack: [takes a rope from a pirate] Thanks very much. [swings onto the Interceptor]
Gibbs: Jack !
Jack: [hands him canteen] Bloody empty. [helps Elizabeth] That's not very nice. Where's the medallion?
Elizabeth: Wretch! [is about to slap him]
Jack: [catches her wrist] Ah, where's dear William ?
Elizabeth: Will … [sees him under a grate] Will!
Will: Elizabeth !
Jack: [sees monkey with medallion] Monkey! [runs after it]
Elizabeth: I can't move it. [is dragged away] Will!
Will: Elizabeth !
Barbossa: [gets medallion from monkey] Why thank you, Jack .
Jack: You're welcome.
Barbossa: Not you. We named the monkey Jack . Gents, our hope is restored! [the pirates ignite the powder leading to the collection of powder kegs while Willstruggles to escape the cabin that is full of water]
