I Heart Pirates

11/22/05-Ok, I actually looked at this entry and realized that my quote spam is excessively long, so I am going to edit some of these quotes out.

The past two weeks have been pretty lousy and full of bad news. It seems like just when things start to look up, something else happens to someone I care about. In spite of it all, I am trying to stay as optimistic as possible, though it is very difficult.

However, today I get off work early (have to be back tonight), but after that I am off Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, so I am pretty excited about that.

On a side note, I watched 'Pirates of the Caribbean' last night. I had forgotten how great that movie is! I heart Pirates. Here are a few great quotes from the movie...

Mullroy: What's your purpose in Port Royal, Mr. Smith ?
Murtogg: Yeah, and no lies.
Jack Sparrow: Well, then, I confess, it is my intention to commandeer one of these ships, pick up a crew in Tortuga, raid, pillage, plunder and otherwise pilfer my weasely black guts out.
Murtogg: I said no lies.
Mullroy: I think he's telling the truth.
Murtogg: If he were telling the truth, he wouldn't have told us.
Jack Sparrow: Unless, of course, he knew you wouldn't believe the truth even if he told it to you.

Norrington: No additional shot nor powder, a compass that doesn't point north,
[looks at Jack's sword]
Norrington: and I half expected it to be made of wood. You are without a doubt the worst pirate I've ever heard of.
Jack Sparrow: But you have heard of me.

Will Turner: How did Jack get off the island?
Gibbs: Well, I’ll tell ye. He waded out into the shallows and there he waited three days and three nights till all manner of sea creature ‘came and acclimated to his presence. And on the fourth morning, he roped himself a couple of sea turtles, lashed ‘em together and made a raft.
Will Turner: He roped a couple of sea turtles?
Gibbs: Aye, sea turtles.
Will: What did he use for rope?
Jack Sparrow: Human hair...from my back.

Barbossa: How the blazes did you get off that island?
Jack Sparrow: When you marooned me on that god forsaken spit of land, you forgot one very important thing, mate; I'm Captain Jack Sparrow.

Barbossa: So you expect to leave me standing on some beach with nothing but a name and your word it's the one I need and watch you sail away on my ship?
Jack Sparrow: No. I expect to leave you standing on some beach with absolutely no name at all, watching me sail away on my ship and then I'll shout the name back to you. Savvy?
Barbossa: But that still leaves us with the problem of me standing on some beach with naught but a name and your word it's the one I need.
Jack Sparrow: Of the two of us I am the only one who hasn't committed mutiny, therefore my word is the one we'll be trusting. Although, I suppose I should be thanking you because in fact, if you hadn't betrayed me and left me to die, I would have an equal share in that curse same as you. Funny ol' world, innit?

Jack Sparrow: You've burned all the food, the shade... The Rum!
Elizabeth: Yes, the rum is gone!
Jack Sparrow: Why is the rum gone?
Elizabeth: One; because it is a foul drink that turns even the most respectable of men into complete scoundrels. Two; that signal is over a thousand feet high! The entire Royal Navy is out searching for me, do you think there's even the slightest chance they wont see it?
Jack Sparrow: But why is the rum gone?
Will Turner: This is either madness... or brilliance.
Jack Sparrow: It's remarkable how often those two traits coincide.

Jack Sparrow: Me? I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly... stupid.


That movie is GREAT!

I get off work in five minutes... :)
