The sweet satisfaction of revenge or a maiden as beautiful, as untamed as the sea itself?Shakes his head - - it's not really a choice. Elizabeth is dragged past.

Sao Feng, rope in hand, is ready to swing back over to his ship.SAO FENGI cannot keep pace with the Black Pearl.JACK SPARROWWe should not sail together, in any case.

(MORE)Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 40SAO FENG (CONT'D)Touching, brushing, the water. Of the garden pool.Sao Feng dismisses the Maidens. He approaches Elizabeth.SAO FENG (CONT'D)When I first saw you I thought you might Beckett Calypso, the Goddess of the seas.ELIZABETHAnd now?SAO FENGI am certain. Every word you say, every action you take confirms it.ELIZABETHIf I am the Goddess of the seas, then I would command you to set me free.SAO FENGAh. So you don't not know the story. There was a time when the seas were unpredictable, angry. Calypso fell in love with a sailor, and granted him immortality. Also a ship, to rescue the souls of drowned Elizabeth of course knows the name. Sao Feng mistakes her recognition for disbelief.SAO FENG (CONT'D)Do not doubt me, for this is the same Davy Jones who pursues us now.ELIZABETHSo, a man met a woman - - a goddess. And they fell in love. That's hardly unique.SAO FENGAh, but Calypso, fickle like the sea, fell out of love, and left him. Jones, in his despair, cut his heart from his body, and put it in a chest, having no more use for it. (beat) I know it does not sound credible.Elizabeth can't help but smile.Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 41ELIZABETHNo, that part I believe.SAO FENGWhen Jones cut his heart out, Calypso was angry, and the seas stormed for many years. Many good men died. So the Pirate Brethren came together and took counsel. The Brethren summoned Calypso, and tricked her, casting a spell that trapped her in human form.Sao Feng raises the intricate knot pendant and regards it. We notice the pendant is old, faded and frayed.ELIZABETHWhat is that?SAO FENGNothing. A badge that designates the Captain. In any case - - with Calypso tamed, so the seas were tamed, and so began the Age of Piracy.ELIZABETHAnd so you think I am Calypso? Imprisoned in human form?He regards her.SAO FENGNo one knows where Calypso is hidden. Why not someone as beautiful as moonlight on the waves, as starlight above the horizon?Elizabeth smiles.ELIZABETHPretty speech from a captor. But words whispered through prison bars lose their charm.SAO FENGCan I Beckett blamed for my efforts? All men are drawn to the sea. Perilous though it may be.ELIZABETHOften men offer desire as an excuse for their crimes.SAO FENGI offer simply my desire.Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 42ELIZABETHAn item of such small value. And in return?SAO FENGI would have your gifts, should you choose to give them.ELIZABETHAnd if I choose not?SAO FENGThen I will take your fury.He leans in to kiss her - -Elizabeth shoves Sao Feng away. he stumbles backwards.
