Where'd you come from?

JACK

CROWD
And your parents?

NORRINGTON
But he was granted one more start

JACK
The Pirate in my secret Heart!

CROWD
When'd you get here?

JACK
1640

CROWD
How old were you?

JACK
Don't remember

CROWD
Then what happened?

JACK
I met the pearl
And she stole my heart away
Convinced me to commandeer her one day

ELIZABETH (spoken)
Oh you poor dear I cant believe what you have been through A Pirate! A run-away Ship!
Now tell us Jack...

ELIZABETH
Who's Barbossa?

JACK
My ex-First Mate.

CROWD
Why'd you shoot him?

JACK
I was leavin'.

CROWD
Was he angry?

JACK
Like a madman
Still I said, "'Bossa, move along."

NORRINGTON
He knew that he was doing wrong.

CROWD
Then describe it.

JACK
He came toward me.

CROWD
With the pistol?

JACK
From my Quarters.

CROWD
Did you fight him?

JACK
Like a tiger.

NORRINGTON
He had strength and he had none.

JACK

Comprehensible, Comprehensible
Not a bit reprehensible
It's so defensible

CROWD
How're you feeling?

JACK
Very frightened

CROWD
Are you sorry?

JACK
Are you kidding!?

CROWD
What's your statement?

JACK
All I'd say is
Though my choo-choo jumped the track
I'd never want to see him back back

CROWD
And?

JACK
Stay away from...

CROWD
What?

JACK
Wenches and liquor...

CROWD
And?
