yea... i read the script, and it said something about this poem thing--to get to world's end, you have to "mirror" "flip" or "reflect" upon the sun or something. all i remember is the green flash, tipping the boat over, and pintel & ragetti tying themselves to the mast upside-down...

so there IS a green flash. okey dokie!! how did we get started on this anyway? lol

i'm with you there--i have no idea! but i like spoilers. 😮 "guilty as charged!"

there is mention of a green flash... here is the part of the script

Elizabeth reads from the charts.
ELIZABETH
"Up is down on the mirrored sea, when sun rise sets at the flash of green."
WILL
Flash of green?
BARBOSSA
On rare occasions, when the sun sets, there is a green flash on the horizon. they say - -
GIBBS/PINTEL
... that's the only time a soul can transition between worlds.
Gibbs and Pintel glare at each other, the two storytellers in competition.
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : script page 25
PINTEL
(to Ragetti ) Thinks he knows everything.
GIBBS
(to Jack) Thinks he knows everything.
Jack idly watches as Ragetti's eye roll scross the table;
ship moving with the waves
Jack has a sudden idea. Gets up, watches the eye. His movement is enough to draw the attention of the others.
JACK SPARROW
Hmn. When sunrise sets. Now there's a notion.
He moves over the railing at port. Everyone follows the ship tilts that way a little. Jack thinks - -
Jack suddenly races to the starboard side. Everyone follows - -
what is he up to? He looks out at the sunset. Suddenly seems to see something on the port side.

Hey Lovely...I'm a bit confused about the line you seem so happy about...

The script is saying that Will is wrong to presume that Elizabeth loves Jack and wants him back for that reason. At least that's how I read it...how in the world are you reading it? 😄
