Sao Fen kisses her, he dies.
Norrington also kisses her, he dies.
Will kisses her and becomes immortal.
Davy Jones kisses her and transforms from a squid to a frog....
Exactly. All of those kissed was like a good bye.
Though, I think it's funny that Jack is a bit left out 😛. That's another thing that I know we will be surprised.
Which actually brings me to the irony of this quote from the book:
"Jack cocked his head, considering. If he handed over his pieces of eight, there would be no more need for him here. "We're still short one pirate lord" he points out. "I'm content to wait until Sao joins us."
"Sao is not coming" said a voice from the doorway.
Everyone turns to see Elizabeth in full pirate garb & Tia Huang standing behind her. "He named me captain of the Empress" Elizabeth explained, "and passed his lordship on to me".
"Captain?" Jack sqwacked indignantly. "CAPTAIN? They're just GIVING the title away now!"
"What happened to Sao?" demanded Ammand the Corsair
"She probably killed him", Jack muttered.
"Will you never forgive me?" Elizabeth said to him. Then she turned to answer..."we were attacked by the Flying Dutchman".
"Listen!" Elizabeth yelled. "Listen to me!" Our location has been betrayed! Jones, under the command of Beckett, are on their way here" The news, of course, led to further uproar. "And who is this Betrayer?" Gentleman Jocard snarled.
"not likely anyone among us" Barbosa said. Elizabeth looked around, and something occured to her. "Where's Will?" she asked Jack. "NOT among us" Jack said pointedly.
Barbosa hammered on the table again, calling for quiet....."
The irony is that Jack sort of points out that she probably killed him and the truth is in a way, she does.
Hm.
"She probably killed him", Jack muttered.
"Will you never forgive me?" Elizabeth said to him.
"Where's Will?" she asked Jack. "NOT among us" Jack said pointedly.
Barbosa hammered on the table again, calling for quiet....."
There is a lot of tension. And Barbossa looks like he will be the one in control of the meeting. But those ball in chains...mean something.
Why would it have a close up of it in the trailer?
I think she is talking about this 😉
"You made a deal with me, Jack," Beckett continued, "to deliver the pirates-and here they are. Don't be bashful; step up and claim your reward." He tossed the compass to Jack, who caught it, looking guilty.
"And what reward does such chicanery fetch these days?" Barbossa wanted to know.
Beckett pointed at Elizabeth, knowing what an impact his statement would make. "Her," he said.
Will was shocked. Was it true? Had Jack been playing him as well, with this offer to kill Davy Jones? Was it all an elaborate ruse...so that Jack could steal off with Elizabeth?
Beckett went on, relishing the revelation. "When the cannon smoke clears and the Brethren are slaughtered, off he sails on the Pearl, Elizabeth in his arms, and the blame dead square upon his rival." He flicked his fingers toward Will..
OK, Jack was trying to hide his feelings too hard from the people and, especially, to Elizabeth.
It's like the cartoon Hey, Arnold! There is this girl named Helga who is in love eith the character Arnold. And she tries to hide her feelings by betraying hi, torturing him among other mean things.
LOL sorry. Very stupid comparison--I bet half of you don't know what the cartoon is.
Anyways, Jack has been exposed.

Your welcome Savvy..I just got the Novel..Is not a big deal 😉
The novel is not a big deal? That's what I've heard. But your putting up that timely quote is most helpful. I grovel at your feet for your helpfulness 🙂
And yes, I think you're correct Mina. Beckett is very shrewd, he knows of Jack's intentions at least, even though Jack had no intention of revealing his feelings.
It makes Jack's actions look REALLLY bad. But he does make up for it, in his own way.
