601 You have my payment. One soul to serve on your ship. 602 - One soul is not equal to another. - Aha! 603 We've established my proposal is sound in principle. Now we're haggling over price. 604 Price? 605 Just how many souls do you think my soul is worth? 606 One hundred souls. 607 Three days. 608 You're a diamond, mate. Send me back the boy. I'll get started right off. 609 I keep the boy. A good-faith payment. 610 That leaves you only 99 more to go. 611 Have you not met Will Turner? 612 He's noble, heroic, a terrific soprano. 613 Worth at least four. 614 Maybe three and a half. 615 And did I happen to mention... 616 he's in love? 617 With a girl. 618 Due to be married. 619 Betrothed. 620 Dividing him from her and her from him would only be half as cruel 621 as actually allowing them to be joined in holy matrimony. 622 Eh? 623 I keep the boy. 99 souls. 624 But I wonder, Sparrow, 625 can you live with this? 626 Can you condemn an innocent man, a friend, 627 to a lifetime of servitude in your name while you roam free? 628 Yep. I'm good with it. 629 Shall we seal it in blood? I mean... ink. 630 Three days. 631 Three days. 632 - Er, Mr. Gibbs. - Aye. 633 I- I feel sullied and unusual. 634 And how do you intend to harvest these 99 souls in three days? 635 Fortunately, he was mum as to the condition in which these souls need be. 636 Ah. 637 Tortuga. 638 Tortuga. 639 It's an outrage. Port tariffs, berthing fees, 640 wharf handling and, heaven help us, pilotage. 641 Are we all to work for the East India Trading Company, then? 642 I'm afraid, sir, Tortuga is the only free port left in these waters. 643 A pirate port is what you mean. Well, I'm sorry. 644 An honest sailor is what I am. I make my living fair and I sleep well each night. 645 S- sir! 646 She wants you to do something. 647 She's trying to give a sign. 648 Whoa! 649 Over there! Look for a sign! 650 Look, there! There it is! |
