Gender: Female Location: Drinking rum with Jack in a dingy
Leaked Script - WARNING _ SPOILERS
Don't read this thread if you don't want to see or read any spoilers..but the opening scene of AWE is very interesting...is is a flash to the future...or a flashback...who is the young cabin boy that was holding the peices of eigth.....
BLACK
500 FADE UP: SHACKLED FEET. CHAINS drag along the ground. PIRATES, led to their final reward – the gallows. FOOTSTEPS climb the wooden steps. An air of expectancy. TILT UP to REVEAL –
501 EXT. FORT - DAY
A PIRATE CABIN BOY stands on the gallows. A noose is fitted around his neck.
Among the PIRATES in line, a TUNE begins, hummed low.
Then the cabin boy starts to sing, low and wavering, focused only on the song and not those who have come to see him hang –
CABIN BOY (O.S)
Yo, ho, haul together, hoist the
Colors high… heave ho, thieves
And beggars, never shall we die…
The cabin boy closes his eyes –
501A IN THE BLACKNESS A SILVER COIN FALLS, tumbling slowly. It is a SILVER PIECE OF EIGHT, irregular, golden light glinting off it's rough surface –
CABIN BOY
The king and his men stole the queen
From her bed and bound her in her
Bones……
501B BACK TO SCENE: as a PIRATE waiting joins in, sings low
PIRATE
The seas be ours and by the powers
Where we will well roam…
In the crowd stands SIR CUTTLER BECKETT among OFFICERS of the EAST INDIA TRADING COMPANY. He frowns at the waiting prisoners, as more pick up the song:
PIRATES
Yo, ho, haul together, hoist the
Colors high…heave ho, thieves
And beggars, never say we die
Beckett gives a nod. A wood-SQUEAK, THUNK as the gallows trap-door opens—
501C IN DARKNESS, the SILVER PIECE OF EIGHT tumbles and turns…..
501D AT THE GALLOWS, the line of Pirates watch with dread and fascination as the young man dances his final dance. Another Pirate is led to the noose –
OLD MAN
Some men have died and some are alive And others sail on the sea – with He keys to the cage…and the Devil to pay we lay to Fiddler's Green!
A lever pulled. Another pirate SWINGS. A rope tightens. Another pirate HANGS. Faster and faster. Beckett smiles. A DOZEN PIRATES now dangle at the END of their ROPES – and a FINAL PIRATE drops down, boots CLOSE IN FRAME –
501E The SILVER PIECE OF EIGHT lands on a table, spins and wobbles to a stop. TAEGUE, Pirate Lord of Madagascar, stares out a window, the weight of ill news in his eyes.
Behind him, on a table, lies the SILVER PIECE OF EIGHT, next to a Candle, an open envelope, and letter.
Teague's hand picks up the coin, clutches it – and the candle GOES OUT—
The young cabin boy doesn't have the Piece of Eight...that's the scene jumping to Teague who does have a piece of eight and I believe that's an invitation to a Brethren meeting...but it could be someone informing him of his son's death.
The song is important, too.

No this part is the very begining of AWE....I've read this too and the song that the Pirates are singing...is the same song Liz sings (which is the very next scene!) So yes the song is VERY IMPORTANT! We broke it down awhile back in the symbols thread!

513 A PAUSE, then.... a WOMAN'S VOICE out of the DARKNESS....
ELIZABETH
The bel has been raised from it's watery grave...do you hear it's sepulchral tone?
A small boat emerges out of the glom. Elizabeth moves it with a long pole through a maze of pylons. We are --
514 EXT . SINGAPORE - HARBOR - NIGHT
Junks crammed together around ramshackle docks. Criss-crossing shadows from hanging lamps.
UNDER THE DOCKS, Elizabeth moves past raised platforms, sees:
an OLD LADY crouches, gutting fish...an ARTISIAN blows glass over a coal fire...a LAUGHING BOY outsidea FIREWORKS SHED lightsa pinwheel; it spins, sparks flying --
The SHADOW of a monkey races past. Elizabeth's apprenhension grows. It's all weird, surreal. She keps singing--
ELIZABETH
A call to all, pay head the squall --
515 EXT. SINGAPORE - DOCKS - NIGHT
On the dock, Elizabeth ties the bow line.
ELIZABETH
-- and turn your sail toward home! Yo ho, haul together--
I thought maybe we could get back to our indepth discussion of script...
