The beach scene in DMC
yes, the Persuade Me scene is all about sex and what jack wants from Liz:
Jack: Might I inquire as how you came by these (meaning the letters of marque - notice how he is intimidating her here)
Translation: Lizzie, how in the world did you get these letters from Beckett, you little Pirate.
Elizabeth: Persuasion.
Translation: I held him at gunpoint. I have a hard time waiting for others to come to my rescue, so i took matters into my own hands.
Jack: Friendly?
Translation: I wonder if she seduced that little eunich to get these letters.
Elizabeth: Decidedly not!
Translation: no way, that little Beckett man is disgusting.
Jack: Will strikes a deal for these and upholds it with honor, yet you are the one standing here with the prize. Full Pardon granted as a privateer on the behalf of england and the East India Trading Company. As if I could be bought for such a low price.
translation: okay, will, always the honorable one makes at deal for these to return the compass..and now here you are, Liz, standing here with the papers...just how did you persuade Beckett to give these to you...I'm imagining all kinds of scenarios....
Elizabeth: Jack, the letters give them back.
Jack: NO. Persuade Me.
translation: if you persuade me in the right way, I might give them back to you, Lizzie.
Elizabeth: You do know Will taught me how to handle a sword?"
translation: Jack, if you don't give those back I may be forced to pull my sword out on you, and I'm good with it, Will taught me.
Jack: As I said, Persuade Me.
translation: ooh, I like the idea of you handling a sword, you can handle mine anytime...it's as i said..persuade me in the only way a woman can persuade a man...as hold as history.....
The look on Elizabeth's face is..she finally gets what Jack is suggesting and she is a little embarrased and a little frustrated and she is not quite sure how to respond to him...
then when we see her smiling as Norrington approaches...she is daydreaming about what jack meant "persuade me" this scene shows us that Elizabeth is not immune to Jack's charm...and that she is fond of the idea of having to persuade him...not exactly the pure little girl in love With William Turner...
"it's a curious thing" by Norrington...is Disney's way of showing us that there is something going on here...Norrie notices that Liz is having nice thoughts about Jack..and he would have given anything for her to look like that when thinking about him...because it is a look of "OMG, I am falling for this man"....and Norrie also notices that she has unconditional faith in jack...she is so falling for Jack that she will believe anything he tells her....
its also about Liz actually wanting it too IMO..she's the one who made him respond like that and she did it in a deliberate sexy, suggestive way to him..and she bit off more than she could chew because THIS time Jack was very serious and in her face..he had just picked up on the fact that Liz is actually suggesting she have sex with HIM for once lmao...she then smiled after the "aftershock"..its a "pleasent surprise" to her now that Jack has just stepped up the level IMO.

thanks for that compass scene sccch was looking for it evrytwhere..I wonder why Jack runs away like that...its as if he's afraid its going to point at him..cuz it does kinda follow him as he runs
This could be true.
Remember at the end of the first movie where Jack says, "Elizabeth, it would never have worked out between us darling"? Up until a few weeks ago, I thought that he said that (in front of the navy and her father and Will) in order to embarass her, i.e. revenge for burning the rum.
Then on the autocommentary, Johnny Depp laughs at that point and says, "He actually believes it" and that he was saying they couldn't be together because she was so honest.
