Okay, so lets examine - if the compass comments from TEd are authentic...then these observations we've made over the past months on other threads is correct:
First one:
MARTY
So... Do we have a heading?
JACK SPARROW
Hah! A heading. Set sail in a... mmm...
a general... in *that* way - direction.
GIBBS
Cap'n?
JACK SPARROW
Come on, snap to and make sail, you
know how this works. Come on, ?oy/?quick,
?oy/?quick, hey!
[Marty and Gibbs gather alone by the railing]
MARTY
Have you noticed lately... The captain
seems to be actin' a bit strange...
-er.
GIBBS
Settin' sail without knowing his own
headin'? Somethin's got Jack vexed.
Mark my words, what bodes ill for Jack
Sparrow bodes ill for us all.
[the Black Pearl is shown at night in a thunderstorm]
Jack is vexed - by Elizabeth, that's why the compass is not working...he wants her, but doesn't want to want her - he has no direction....
then at Tia's:
JACK SPARROW
We're looking for this. And what it
goes to.
TIA DALMA
The Compass you bartered from me. It
cannot lead you to dis?
JACK SPARROW
Maybe. Why?
TIA DALMA
Ayeee... Jack Sparrow does not know
what he wants! Or... do know, but are
loathe to claim it as your own. Your
key go to a chest, and it is what lay
inside the chest you seek, don't it?
GIBBS
What *is* inside?
PINTEL
Gold! Jewels? Unclaimed properties of
a valuable nature?
RAGETTI
Nothing... bad, I hope.
[a jar of eyeballs is hanging next to Ragetti's face as he speaks]
TIA DALMA
You know of... Davy Jones, yes? A man
of de sea. A great sailor, until he
ran afoul of dat which vex all men.
WILL TURNER
What vexes all men?
TIA DALMA
What, indeed.
GIBBS
The sea?
PINTEL
Sums!
RAGETTI
Dichotomy of good and evil.
JACK SPARROW
A *woman*.
TIA DALMA
A wo-*man*. He fell in love.
If this is true, then we can now assume that Jack wants Elizabeth...but cannot claim her as his own...because of Will or because he is Jack Sparrow - in his mind he is not suppose to be with just one woman, so he is in denial, but he can't stop thinking about her.......and what does Tia inform us of here...reflecting back to what Gibbs says earlier....What vexes men most....A WOMAN (jack know this, cuz he himself is vexed by a woman...a woman he can't have - or so he thinks - and a woman he shouldn't want, but does...and is causing him to go in circles - he is no longer focused on the material objects and that horizon....)
Gotta run, be back later today, girls....
