Daily Dialogue — December 28, 2015

ELIZABETH: Jack, it must be really terrible for you to be trapped on this island.
JACK: Oh, yes. But the company is infinitely better than last time, I think. The scenery has definitely improved.
ELIZABETH: Mr. Sparrow. I’m not entirely sure I’ve had enough rum to allow that kind of talk.
JACK: I know exactly what you mean, love.
ELIZABETH: To freedom.
JACK: To the Black Pearl.

— Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003), screenplay by Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, screen story by Ted Elliott & Terry Rossio and Stuart Beattie and Jay Wolpert

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Drunk. Today’s suggestion by Katha.

Trivia: Robert De Niro was offered the role of Captain Jack Sparrow but he declined thinking that the movie wouldn’t do well in the box office as many other pirate movies in the past. He was proved wrong and so he accepted the role of Captain Shakespeare in the movie “Stardust“ (2007).

Dialogue on Dialogue: Commentary by Katha: “Jack is always drunk. Elizabeth plays drunk.”
