Scene 5: (The duel between Jackand Will)
Jack: [enters smithy, sees drunk and sleeping Mr.Brownand pokes him to see if he'll awaken]Whoa! [tries to get rid of the irons with a hammer but it doesn't work; uses the red hot end of a metal rod to spur the donkey; succeeds in breaking the link between them by putting them on two turning wheels in the machinery powered by the donkey; hides when Will enters]
Will: [calms the donkey; sees Brown] Right where I left you. [sees hammer] Not where I left you. [notices Jack's hat and reaches for it; enter Jackwith sword unsheathed] You're the one they're hunting. The pirate.
Jack: You seem somewhat familiar. Have I threatened you before?
Will: I make a point of avoiding familiarity with pirates.
Jack: Ah. Well, then it would be a shame to put a black mark on your record. So, if you'll excuse me - [turns away and is about to leave when Willgets his own sword] Do you think this wise, boy, crossing blades with a pirate?
Will: You threatened Miss Swann .
Jack: Only a little. [they parry] You know what you're doing, I'll give you that. Excellent form but how's your footwork? If I step here; [he steps] very good. Now I step again. Ta. [sheathes sword and walks to the door; Willthrows sword which gets stuck in the door, barring the exit; Jacktries to pull it out but is unsuccessful] That is a wonderful trick except once again you are between me and my way out. And now you have no weapon. [Willtakes out a sword with a heated tip; they fight]Who makes all these? [looks pointedly at swords]
Will: I do! And I practice with them three hours a day!
Jack: You need to find yourself a girl, mate! Or, perhaps the reason you practice three hours a day is that you already found one and are otherwise incapable of wooing said strumpet. You're not a eunuch, are you? [looks down]
Will: I practice three hours a day, so that when I meet a pirate, I can kill it! [they continue their swordfight jumping onto a cart that sways under them; Will hooks a knife in the irons hanging from Jack's left wrist and throws it up so it is embedded in the beam above, in return Jack hits a loose board which throws Will off the cart; Jack uses his body weight to get the knife out of the wood and falls back on the cart just as Will climbed back on; Will is thrown up into the rafters and cuts free a heavy sack which vaults Jack up into the rafters as well; they fight, jumping from beam to beam; Jack loses his weapon and blinds Will with sand; takes out his pistol while Will protects his eyes] You cheated!
Jack: Pirate! [hears men trying to break the door down] Move away.
Will: No.
Jack: Please, move.
Will: No! I cannot just step aside and let you escape.
Jack: This shot is not meant for you. [gets hit on the head with a bottle of alcohol and falls unconscious]
Norrington: [his men break in the door] Excellent work, Mr. Brown . You've assisted in the capture of a dangerous fugitive.
Mr.Brown: Just doing my civic duty, sir.
Norrington: Well, I trust you'll always remember this as the day that Captain Jack Sparrow almost escaped. Take him away.
