Well, remember that is a really early draft of the script so probably hundreds of things have been changed by now. What I really like about it is how it's like the ride where they go down a huge waterfall and then hear "Yo ho, yo ho, a pirates life for me." It reminds me so much of the ride.
Yeah I do like that part.... 😄

>MAN(O.S)

>To my way haye, blow the man down
>Elizabeth changes course, toward the voice. The singer is an ASIAN
>MAN crouched on a platform. Cleaning fish guts up to his elbows. He

>Elizabeth pushes off in that direction. Sings the next line --

>ELIZABETH
>I've a deep water Clipper just in from Hong Kong

>ANOTHER VOICE in the dark before her answers.
>OLD MAN(O.S.)
>Give us the time and we'll blow the man down

>ELIZABETH
>If you'll give me some grog, then I'll sing you a song

>DARK FIGURE (O.S.)
>To my way, haye, blow the man down!

>Sao Feng holds up a hand.
>
>SAO FENG
>The Lady thanks you.
>
>BARBOSSA
>And does the depth of her generosity extend to a gift in return?
>Perhaps the charts we discussed?
>
>Sao Feng opens a satchel, revealing a set of charts inside.

>Barbossa pulls a pistol. Swords are drawn in response. But - -

>Pintel and Ragetti, on opposite sides of the Prisoner, edge away

>- -it is WILL TURNER.
>Elizabeth and Will smiles at each other. Then spin to fight back to

>WILL
>It's a junk!
>
>BARBOSSA
>Aye.
>
>WILL
>No, I mean, it really is junk...

>BARBOSSA

>Why aren't we being followed?

>Swann and Beckett at the desk, working through a sheaf of documents.
>Swann signs his name under Beckett's supervision, Beckett affixes a

>SWANN
>Attack authorizations? I thought pirate activity was at an end

>BECKETT
>They're lying low for the moment. But the Brethren will gather soon
>enough, and then one final strike - -
>
>SWANN
>A Portuguese merchant vessel? This one is for ships of the French
>Royal Navy! You intend for the Flying Dutchman to wage war on other

>
>BECKETT
>Our efforts simply secure the sea lanes for British commerce. What

>Swann hesitates then signs. He hates it.

>SWANN
>If I didn't need the Company's help to find my daughter, I would
>report you to the King.
>
>BECKETT
>A fine illustration of the principle that rational self-interest
>yields mutual benefits.

>Swann's angry pressure on the quill causes it to SNAP.
>Beckett already has another one waiting.
>
>EXT. DOCKS - DAY
>
>Swann strides along the dock. A large steam engine has been

>some anger out on it with his cane.
>Norrington catches his arm. They must SHOUT over the noise.

>NORRINGTON
>Governor!
>
>SWANN
>What is this thing?
>
>NORRINGTON
>Progress! The world is changing!
>
>SWANN
>What?

>NORRINGTON
>The world! Changing! For the - -

>NORRINGTON (CONT'D)
>For the better.
>
>SWANN
>How can you look at that and call the world better?
>
>He gestures past Norrington - -
>- - To where the Flying Dutchman lay at anchor, an abomination in

>Norrington has no answer.
>
>SWANN (CONT'D)
>Though it may have been flawed in action, there was once a belief

>Norrington doesn't know where that came from. Suddenly, it all

>
>SWANN
>(CONT'D)
>I miss Elizabeth. I need to find what's become of her.
>
>Norrington looks at him. Glances over his shoulder at the Flying

>NORRINGTON
>Sir I am sorry. At last report, Elizabeth was aboard the Black Pearl
>when she went down. All hands are presumed lost.
>
>Swann looks back up at Norrington. He does not want to believe it.

>
>NORRINGTON (CONT'D)
>I was there.
>
>Swann absorbs this.
>
>SWANN
>I must find a ship to England.
>The steam engine ROARS back to life as he says this, his words
>nearly lost in the sound.
>ANGLE - THE BALCONY, where Beckett stands, gazing down at the scene.
>REVERSE - POV BECKETT, as the ROAR of the engine continues as Swann

>
>BARBOSSA
>Come about full, and set your heading due north.

>Gibbs frowns, doesn't move the wheel. Barbossa raises an eyebrow.

>GIBBS
>We just spent three days and nights sailing due south.
>
>BARBOSSA
>I don't have a need of you questioning my orders, Mister Gibbs.
>
>GIBBS

>
>Will cuts in between them.
>
>WILL
>Gibbs, by my authority, you're to follow the heading suggested by

>Barbossa gives Gibbs as angelic smile. Gibbs turns the wheel.
>
>WILL (CONT'D)
>Mister Barbossa. On the charts, I was struck by a curious phrase.

>
>BARBOSSA
>Ever gazed upon the green flash, Mister Gibbs?
>
>GIBBS
>I reckon I've seen my share.(explains, for Will's benefit) It's
>quite a sight. Happens at the last glimpse of sunset, on rare
>occasions, a green flash shoots up. Some go their whole lives and
>never see it; many claim to have seen it who never have. Sailors say
>it signals when a soul comes back to this world from the dead.
>
>WILL
>(to Barbossa) What are the implications to our journey?
>
>BARBOSSA
>I reckon it will be clear enough when the time comes.
>
>WILL
>I am interested in your present day speculations.
>
>BARBOSSA
>I reckon I'll keep my speculations to myself for now, and that way
>you'll have good reason to keep me around the entire journey.
>
>GIBBS
>A prudent strategy, says I.
>
>Barbossa glares at Gibbs. Will decides not to push the matter.
>
>WILL
>Carry on, then.
>
>Barbossa bows and turns away. Nearby, Pintel and Ragetti swab the

>Riddles are not fun! The way it always works is some poor bloke

>WILL
>There is what a man can do, and what a man can't do. Jack Sparrow

>
>ON ELIZABETH - - she knows that's not true, but keeps it to himself.
>Tia Dalma turns to Barbossa.
>Barbossa answers with great conviction and sincerity and a lowered

>
>BARBOSSA
>To atone for my many and varied sins, ma'am.
>
>Gibbs laughs. Barbossa looks hurt.
>
>BARBOSSA(CONT'D)
>And because you kindly asked me to come on this voyage,

>GIBBS

>Barbossa smiles, sticks his knife into an apple slice, bites into it

>
>TIA DALMA
>And you, Elizabeth? What lies in your heart on this trip?
>
>Elizabeth jerks her head at the word "lies" Will watches her.
>She considers, and finally settles on:
>
>ELIZABETH
>Jack Sparrow did not deserve the fate the world gave him.
>
>TIA DALMA
>Ah, and what man does?
>
>ELIZABETH
>To punish the wicked, I leave as God's work. But at least we can try
>to reward the good, don't you think? (beat) What about you, Tia
>Dalma? What makes you risk such a dangerous journey?
>
>TIA DALMA
>The world is a lesser place without Jack Sparrow.
>
>ELIZABETH
>To be sure. But that doesn't answer the question, does it?
>
>WILL
>Leaving me all the more curious as to your response.
>
>Tia Dalma looks slyly between them. She answers enigmatically:

>I am owed many debts, with Jack Sparrow not the least among the

>WILL
>It must be a terrible secret indeed, for you to let it come between

>
>ELIZABETH
>Nothing has come between us. But I do worry I will not live up to

>
>Will doesnít like the sound of that.
>
>WILL
>As do I with you. Every day. I suspect there is more that troubles

>
>ELIZABETH
>My heart is troubled for the same reason yours is. If we can rescue
>Jack, all will be well.
>
>Will doesn't know how to take that. He presumes - - wrongly - - that

>
>WILL
>This is a voyage of resolution, then.
>
>Elizabeth nods. Looks out past the rigging - -

>ELIZABETH

>Ah, we're good and lost now.
>
>ELIZABETH
>Lost?
>
>BARBOSSA

>WILL
>Lost or crazy.
>
>BARBOSSA
>Or why not both?

>Barbossa laughs. Then they hear a distant ROAR.

>Pirates scurry to save the ship.
>
>Tia Dalma appears on deck. Unlike those around her, she is calm and

>Elizabeth screams Barbossa laughs louder all the Pirates scream as

>
>BLACKNESS.
>And SILENCE.
>Out of the silence comes SINGING and LAUGHTER various pirate voices,

>FADE UP ON:

>JACK SPARROW sits with his head lowered, alone in the dunes of a
