Erica...what do you take on the line where it says....it's all weird, its surreal....sounds dream like again....Isn't it odd how all three scripts seem to making references to dreams....like at the beginning of POTC..Liz was dreaming about the day she and Will met...Jack makes references to dreams in DMC..and now this..is this whole trilogy just one big dream...on liz's part? I'm beginning to wonder more and more...
i got....at the end of AWE....we'll go back to the beginning of COTBP...Liz will be standing on the ship....and it will be a young liz...and then we will see a young Jack. (dominic Scott)...and she will tell him how she had the crazy dream about how she grows up and meets him - as Captain Jack Sparrow and tells him of all their adventures.....LOL
Well, actually...(please don't hit) even though Jack gets all the publicity and Will and James are very important as well, it's almost as though the trilogy is really from Elizabeth's point of view. She's the first character shown in CotBP and DMC and I'm wondering if AWE will be recut to repeat that. If you've read the DMC script on Wordplayer, it didn't begin with the interrupted wedding.
The dream-like quality also speaks to her frame of mind, I think because she still hasn't really come to terms with everything. It's sort of like, let's get Jack back and then everything will be okay which is simplistic and naive and she'll figure that out eventually. I wonder whether the shadow is of Monkey Jack or just a subtle reminder to us of Monkey Jack.
Hehe, interesting, but no young Liz...
EAST INDIA COMPANY MEN, including MERCER, approach. She reties the line as they pass. Then resumes the song.
ELIZABETH (CONT'D)
Raise the colors high! Heave ho --
HUANG
-- thieves and beggars, never say we die.
THREE GUARDS apear out of the darkness of a huge sewer pipe. Thier leader is is TIA HUANG.
HUANG
A dangerous song to be singing for any who are ignorant of it's meaning. Particularly a woman. Particularly a woman alone.
BARBOSSA
What makes you think she's alone?
The GUARDS turn. BARBOSSA stands behind them smiling.
HUANG
You protect her?
ELIZABETH
What makes you think I need protection?
HUANG shouldn't have turned away: her knife is at his throat.
BARBOSSA
Your master is expecting us.
(to Elizabeth)
And an unexpected death would cast a slight pall on our meeting.
Elizabeth lowers the knife.
HUANG
You're Captain Barbossa.
BARBOSSA
Aye, and she be Elizabeth Swann. And Sao Feng offered us safe passage.
HUANG
For as long as it suits him.
Huang turns to lead them away, stops, holds up a hand.
East India Company AGENTS go past. Huang gestures 'follow me' and leads them toward the huge sewer pipe--
516 EXT. SINGAPORE - BRIDGE - NIGHT
The Esat India Company Agents keep a look out. DROP DOWN to the water below --
IN THE WATER, a dozen or so COCONUTS float lazily with the current. And then one rises up -- he top of PINTEL'S head. Others rise out of the water, coconut shells worn like helmets by GIBBS, RAGETTI, COTTON and MARTY.
They carry oilskin bundles, take out large rasps, wait, poised to file through the bars of a metal grate --
517 ON THE AGENTS: as the wheels SQUEAKING, turn to see:
TIA DALMA, pushing a cart carrying a bird cage with twittering canaries; potions, bottles and bags of flour. Cotton's PARROT perches atop; JACK THE MONKEY turns the crank of an ORGAN --
518 BENEATH THE DOCK...Gibbs and his crew begin filing through the grate, the noise covered by the music --
519 EXT. SINGAPORE - BATH HOUSE - NIGHT
As Huang leads Barbossa and Elizabeth toward the door of a low-slung, decripit bath house. The two confer in whispers:
ELIZABETH
Have we heard anything from Will?
BARBOSSA
The whelp is more than capable of taking care of himself. But you, in the presence of Soa Feng, you'll be wanting to show a bit more diffedence than is your custom.
ELIZABETH
He's that terrifying, is he?
BARBOSSA
he's much like myself, absent my merciful nature and sense of fair play.
Huang raps out a signal on the door. A slit opens, eyes scan him, the slit closes, the door opens --
520 EXT. SINGAPORE - UNDER THE DOCKS - NIGHT
Pintel and Ragetti keep filing -- until suddenly the music STOPS. Ragetti files one stroke to many, oops --
521 ON THE DOCKS, one of the agents regards the Monkey, holding it up with the tip of his sword. The other pokes at the cart.
AGENT
(to Tia Dalma)
You can't be here.
Tia Dalma lifts her face -- they see she is BLIND.
TIA DALMA
Your mother always knew it be you who threw the linens down the well. But she forgave you for it.
AGENT
How did you know that?
TIA DALMA
The canaries.

How did you know that?TIA DALMA

Tia lifts her face...Tia is Blind???? That's weird...
I love the part of the crew popping out from under the coconut shells...
oh yes. i remember when i read that scene. WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN? She is blind? how can they tell she is blind? Im guessing she had no eyes.. and maybe thats why she said "the canaries" cause they ate her eyes out.. i dunno..
and now i say NEVERMIND! Why do I read things wrong all the time? he said how did you know that.. to the thingy she said..
i read too fast..
She grins a black teeth smile. The Agents jump back. Jack the Monkey goes back to grinding, the music picks up --
522 BELOW, Pintel and Ragetti return to sawing --
523 INT. BATH HOUSE VESTIBULE - NIGHT
Huang stops, bars Barbossa and Elizabeth's way.
HUANG
No weapons. Remove them please.
BARBOSSA
Of course.
Barbossa ane Elizabeth lose their swords, pistols. Huang holds up a hand to stop Elizabeth. He gestures to her coat.
HUANG
Did you think because she is a woman, we would not suspect her of treachery?
BARBOSSA
When you put it that way...
HUANG
Remove, please.
Elizabeth strips off her coat. Huang takes it, and reveals two swords in hidden scabbards in the lining. Again, they start past -- Huang stops Elizabeth. AGAIN. Smiles.
HUANG
Remove. Please.
Elizabeth looks indignant --
524 INT. BATH HOUSE - NIGHT
ON ELIZABETH, self-conscious in a short robe and nothing else. She and Barbossa follow a DRAGON TATTOOED half-n*aked pirate into the bath house. They move past the algae-covered tubs and leaky, rusted pipes. Elizabeth notes: all of the men have the same DRAGON TATTOO.
SAO FENG steps out of a tub; two attendants -- LIAN and PARK (in corset-like outfits) -- dress him in full pirate garb.
Sao Feng does not awknowledge Barbossa and Elizabeth's presence. Barbossa gets it; he must speak first.
BARBOSSA
Captain Sao Feng. Thank you for granting me this audience.
SAO FENG

you see this is what gets me...
Its almost as if EVERYONE is expecting them to get together after that kiss.
The writers might listen to what millions of us are saying...but they might not lol.
Maybe they want to use the element of surprise and go;
"Actually...now that we've planted the idea in your mind, and you have decided that you like it...we ain't gonna give it to you because you are now expecting it"
OR maybe they want to use the element of tension and go;
"You know what...we'll give you your moments, and you will think that they will get together...right up until the end when we do a plot twist and everyone ends up surprised..."
Either way its exciting...
But what im getting at is the fact that IF we are expecting it...then why would they want to give it to us?? 🙁
Why should they end it the way everyone expects and wants, instead of leaving it on a knives edge and then decide to tell us that there will be other POTC films....OR just ending it in the way that we didn't want, but we didn't expect at the end of the day....
damn, ive gone and got myself all confuzzled....🙁
I'm off to the therapy couch...ive been going there alot lately...lmao
