Elizabeth : Captain Barbossa , I am here to negotiate the cessation of hostilities against Port Royal .
Barbossa : There are a lot of long words in there, Miss; we're naught but humble pirates. What is it that you want?
Elizabeth : I want you to leave and never come back.
Barbossa : I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request. Means "no".
Elizabeth : Very well. I'll drop it. [ dangles medallion over the sea ]
Barbossa : Me holds are burstin' with swag. That bit of shine matters to us? Why?
Elizabeth : It's what you've been searching for. I recognized the ship. I saw it eight years ago on the crossing from England .

Murtogg : This dock is off-limits to civilians.
Jack Sparrow : I'm terribly sorry, I didn't know. If I see one, I shall inform you immediately. [ Jack makes to continue but is blocked by Murtogg and Mullroy ]
Jack Sparrow : Apparently there's some sort of high-toned and fancy to-do up at the fort, eh? How could it be that two upstanding gentlemen, such as yourselves, did not merit an invitation?
Murtogg : Someone's got to make sure that this dock stays off-limits to civilians.
