Bootstrap Bill
- 'Bootstrap' Bill Turner: [to Will] Orders, Captain?
- Will Turner: You're no longer bound to the Dutchman. You're free.
- 'Bootstrap' Bill Turner: Aye. And 'tis a fine thing. But by my reckoning, I've still a debt to pay... if you'll have me.
- Will Turner: [smile] To the wheel, then, Mr. Turner.
- 'Bootstrap' Bill Turner: Aye, Captain Turner.
- [takes the wheel, then notices Will and Elizabeth exchanging sad glances]
- 'Bootstrap' Bill Turner: This ship, it has a duty. And where we are bound, she cannot come. One day at shore... ten years at sea. It's a heavy price for what's been done.
- Will Turner: Depends on the one day.
- [in the Dutchman's brig, Elizabeth searches for Will's father]
- 'Bootstrap' Bill Turner: [embedded in the wall of the Dutchman] You know my name...
- Elizabeth Swann: Yes. I know your son...
- 'Bootstrap' Bill Turner: My son... William!
- [He tears himself out of the wall, to Elizabeth's fright]
- 'Bootstrap' Bill Turner: [laughing with joy] He's alive! Will's alive! He survived the Kraken, me boy, and he's sent you to tell me he's coming to save me! God's wounds, he's on his way!
- Elizabeth Swann: Yes, Will is alive. And he wants to help you.
- [Bootstrap's smile fades]
- 'Bootstrap' Bill Turner: He can't help me. He won't come.
- [points a finger at Elizabeth]
- 'Bootstrap' Bill Turner: I know you. He spoke of you. He won't save me, he can't come because of you!
- Elizabeth Swann: Because of ME?
- 'Bootstrap' Bill Turner: You're Elizabeth. He who stabs the heart of the Captain must take over as Captain. Dutchman must always have a captain. And if he saves me, he loses you. He won't pick me - I wouldn't pick me! Tell him not to come. Tell him to stay away. Tell him it's too late. I'm part of the ship... part of the ship, part of the crew...
- [climbs back into the ship]
- Elizabeth Swann: Bootstrap...
- 'Bootstrap' Bill Turner: [his memory apparently wiped] You know my name... my son, he's coming to save me. You wait and see...
- [Will is stabbed]
- 'Bootstrap' Bill Turner: William... my boy... my son!
- [Enraged, he charges at Jones]
