Jack Sparrow enters Beckett's office and immediately his Elder Scrolls instincts kick in.

"Close your eyes and pretend it's all a bad dream. That's how I get by." Wise words from Captain Sparrow.

"You're mad!" "Thank goodness for that otherwise this would probably never work!"

Love how he refers to Pintel and Regetti as "the belligerent homunculus and his friend with the wooden eye"

I love how Beckett totally swapped the narrative on Jack's little, 'the compass won't work because it says you want me dead' line. Beckett just straight up went, 'well if you're dead then we don't have a problem'.

Apparently that's real alcohol they are drinking. Not sure if it's wine, gin, or whiskey but Johnny is really taking shots in this scene. In the bloopers Johnny sorta chokes on his drink, coughs and asked "What's in that?!" Lol

All I remember from this scene is the blooper that sprouted from it: Beckett: "People are what they--oh f***ing bo****ks." Jack: "You can't curse in a Disney film, mate."

At world's end is very underrated in my opinion. The movie is very entertaining from start to finish.

The outtakes to this are hilarious tho. When Jack and Beckett throw fan and compass to each other and miss several times

God the dialogue is so well written

I wish I had his negotiating skills

"Square my Debt with jones" *Drinks* "guarantee my- whats in there?"

“And what becomes of Miss Swann?” “What interest is she to you?” Jack was trying to protect Elizabeth.

I love how they exchange compass and fan. And Beckett immediately opens it and starts using it 😂

This scene is brilliantly written. At first, Jack pretends to be a fool, randomly 'searching the room for Jones' heart' so that he can get Beckett to tell its location. Jack then asks what he would tell Beckett if he were to accept his deal, finding out how much Beckett knows about the Brethern Court. Jack never intended on actually doing business with Beckett, but he knew the pirates could only survive if they were to fight united instead of being hunted down one by one. Jack's plan was to have everyone fight and then stab Jones' heart during the battle, freeing the Dutchman from Beckett's control and turning the tables on him. Jack also 'negotiates regarding his crew members' simply to buy time, hoping Barbossa and the others would team up and attack so they could escape Beckett for the time being.

THIS is how you make a film that keeps your audience guessing. Without everyone double crossing one another, this movie wouldn't have been half as interesting. I'd want Jack to represent me in a business deal... until I realize he's just as likely to cut his own deal to reap the greater reward.

"People arent cargo mate"

1:48 « You can keep Barbossa. The belligerent homunculus and his friend with the wooden eye, both. » I like when Jack tries to sell Barbossa, Pintel and Ragetti to Beckett because, even he doesn’t show it, he probably still has a grudge against them for having mutinied against him, left him to die on a island and stole his beloved Pearl.

1:17 his face is priceless when Jack takes his drink

“The negotiations were short.”

“You may kill me but you may never insult me”. Little gems of script like that delivered beautifully by Depp are what make these movies more then just explosions and swashbuckling.

I miss this Jack. Witty, scheming, and eccentric, yet is always three steps ahead of everyone else, and you keep wondering where his true loyalties lie. I enjoyed the last two movies, but I feel like they dwindled him down to nothing but a comic relief protagonist.

1:49 is actually really interesting. Jack says Beckett can take "his [chubby guy named Pintel?] friend with the wooden eye..." But Jack is a pirate Lord so he knows that the wooden eye is one of the 9 pieces of 8. If cutler gets a hold of that, even if he doesn't know what it is, then the court loses the ability to free Calypso ever again.

I love how the actor of Beckett still wants miss swann, everyone who saw pride and prejudice will have a good giggle

This whole thing is Jack getting information from Beckett, and Beckett doesn't even know it lol. Such a great seen. Jack gets his compass back, finds out where Davy jones' heart is, and what Becketts plans are, all without Beckett even knowing Jack is never going to do business with him.

I love how Beckett had the clear authority during this whole conversation, yet he genuinely couldn't follow when all he asked was "Who am I?".

1:46 This is good dialogue. Jack tries to feint by showing how willing he is to let his ''friends'' die, after all Beckett can trust him to keep his word if he's so scared of dying he'd sell out his friends. Becket realizes he excludes someone, calling his bluff ''What becomes of Miss Swan?''. Jack cannot counter this with his act, so he backs down ''What interest is she to you?'' and stops fanning himself and breaks character, you can see it in his face. Becket chuckles to himself arrogantly, he gained the upper hand knowing Jack has more to lose than he's letting on and then makes his attack by trying to devalue Jacks negotiating power. ''I have the compass, why do I even need your help at all?''. If Jack had just thrown Elizabeth under the bus it's unlikely Beckett would have the confidence to try to squeeze Jack dry like this. This hints to us that Jack has more of a heart than we've been lead to believe this far. Jack calls his bluff, knowing it points to something other than Shipwreck cove, and Beckett counters by telling him he can just kill him and find Shipwreck Cove. What Beckett has done so far is lower Jacks bargaining power, now all he's good for is trivia on the 9 pieces of 8, and who the pirate lords are. The way he takes the fan from Jack and starts fanning himself shows he currently has the upper hand at this point. Unfortunately Jack informs him that if he were to take that route, the cost of a direct assault on Shipwreck Cove would be unsustainable so he has no choice but to acknowledge Jacks value.

I feel like Tom Hollander doesn’t get enough praise for his performance as Beckett. You love to hate him and I love how well he and Depp work off of each other as two people who utterly despise each other and are trying to outmaneuver the other

*uses a tiny pistol to threaten him* Jack Sparrow: Am I a joke to you?

When you and your friends fail your exams and your friends ask how your ok with it, "close your eyes and pretend it's all a bad dream, that's how I get by".

I like the way Beckett talks , always calm and cold.

I miss these old Pirates of the Caribbean movies.... You always got the feeling that Jack Sparrow was always in "control"... In the last two movies, he was just being pushed around!

I would've loved more Jack and Beckett interactions in this movie. I love this fast paced back and forth of them constantly trying to outsmart each other.

Honestly after the Kraken died the threat of killing Jack became much less scary

Johny Depp was, is, and forever will be Captain Jack Sparrow. They killed the franchise when they sacked him because of those false allegations that his ex wife had on him.

The only time i've seen Beckett speechless besides his defeat is Jack asking him a question lmfao.

When that music at 3:19 kicks in the first time I saw this I was like “aw hell yeah we’re about to have an epic action sequence”

1:17 his face is priceless when Jack takes his drink. I wish I had his negotiating skills.

"Close your eyes and pretend it's all a bad dream, that's how I get by." *That is way too deep for half 1 in the morning*

It’s interesting how Captain Jack Sparrow negotiates with Lord Beckett. Beckett tried to start a negotiation with Jack, assuming that because he has the chips and the winning hand to bargain he can use that to make a small plea to Jack. However, Sparrow got Beckett to talk long enough about the things he knew Beckett would love to hear about, so that he could twist everything in his favor. Jack let the conversation move on to figure out how much Beckett truly knew about the entire situation, and he kept steering the conversation towards topics Beckett was interested in so he could keep Beckett wondering. Because Jack knew Beckett didn’t have the full picture in his head, he was able to teeter the line between blatant lies and indirect truths. I always laugh at Lord Beckett’s final moments because he was dumbfounded by how out-of-hand his plans had gotten, and he knew he didn’t make the right gambles. He over-estimated his adversary’s intelligence because Sparrow was nothing more than a goofy, swashbuckling pirate to him. Love it.

1:10 I always loved this quick shot over to the pieces of eight. Beckett starts the movie with _one_ - apparently a hard-won, precious artifact. At this point he's got them lined up like props for his toy soldiers. It's a nice, quiet way to communicate how much of a slaughter this fight has become for the pirates

Something I never noticed before, Jack never actually betrays Will, Elizabeth or any of his crew, he only uses them like chess pieces in his big plan

You have to appreciate how intelligent the writers were with this film specially the third one, it is full of little detailes and exposition tips that once you discover them you'll say wow this film is GENIUS

man when I first watched this trilogy all the small discussion parts kind of went over my head because I didn't care. now having watched the trilogy several times over I realized that jack is actually an incredibly intelligent, he plays all side pretty much every time and always finds a way to come out on top of it all. he may not be the best sword duelist but he probably is the best verbal duelist in the whole series.

Jack taking his drink always gets me 😂

I like how he asks Beckett his name, and Beckett makes that confused look, and Jack offended, said his name. 😂😂😂😂

I learned so much new words in this movie that my vocubolary cannot handle it.

“You may kill me but you may never insult me” 3:14. Best line ever!

i do love how his whole demeanour changes when beckett asks "and what becomes of miss swann" he turns all serious and shit i don't think it's talked about enough

I like how throughout all these movies he never breaks his word. He always does what he says he will do, just not in the way most people would assume he would. Only person he breaks his word to, at all really, is Davy Jones, for which he does die. He is brought back later on, but he dies nonetheless.

I wish that they kept in Jack liberating the slaves in this scene. The lines in that are so powerful.

If I'm ever in a situation where someone's gonna kill me and they're gloating about it, I'm gonna use that famous line. "You may kill me but you may never insult me, who am I?" Before doing something stupid and attempting to escape.

I can never get over just how intelligent they make Jack, it’s borderline baffling how HES able to maneuver around negotiations like this with such an opportunistic prick as Beckett and walk away with his head intact. Fuck I wish there was more of him.

I can't believe this film will be 13 years old this year, I still remember seeing it many times in the cinema when I was like 12 years old.

I forgot how menacing Becket really was as a villan

Hollander was one of the highlights in this movie.

Love rewatching this scene. Halfway through Beckett’s formal facade just breaks down, and he can barely hide his curiosity for Jack and how his pirate brain works. It’s so lusty. Any longer and he would have pinned Jack to the wall sure.

I love the part with the compass. Beckett realizes, "Fuck, he got me."

Captain Jack is one of the best characters ever made

Every time someone serves drinks in a negotiation the first thought in my head is that it is drugged. Especially when not on neutral turf

Love how he still shakes his hand at the end like "Oops, time to go, good deal, good deal"

Beckett's kinda like a British Napoleon, no?

I actually prefer the cut alternate sequence to this, as I am sure many others who love the franchise do. It actually sets in stone Jack Sparrow's morals. Beckett: "Remarkable… The last I saw of that ship, she was on fire… a blackened hulk sinking beneath the waves… We had a deal, Jack. I contracted you to deliver 'cargo' on my behalf, you chose to liberate it." Jack: "People aren't 'cargo', mate." Beckett: "And you incurred a heavy debt to raise her up again, didn't you?"

“You were right about one thing master. The negotiations were short.”

Best part: He leaves Beckett there wondering: "What the heck just happened?".

The tactic Jack uses is the same he uses in the first movie when making a deal with the navy. He says he will lure the pirates out of hiding so that the navy can catch them. Only he does not say that the pirates are undead/ that the pirates will let calypso free. In the first movie it was done to kill barbosa and in the third to kill becket.

The number one rule: when you are negotiating with Jack, you aren't.

who am I? Beckett- Ah? -I'm captain jack sparrow!!

Jack sounds so cute at 3:02 😱😱😱😘😘❤

"close your eyes and pretend like its a bad dream, thats how i get by" damn i needed these words. Ty Jack

Everyone always underestimates Jack

I think this film is the cleverest of the series in terms of story & dialogue. This scene is an example

What gets me is how Jack just yoinks Beckett's drink right out of his hand and Beckett is like "...Yeah, okay, he's a pirate, that's what he does." He's obviously exasperated by Jack's rudeness, but at the same time, just rolls with it because he knows exactly who he's dealing with. It's a small price for good business, after all.

“You may kill me but you may never Insult me” -Captain Jack Sparrow A.K.A Johnny Depp

I love how suave Beckett is through it all

I just love Tom Hollander's voice.

i really wish they shown more of the history between beckett and jack. they teased about it in the two movies but nothing beyond that.

Such a brilliantly choreographed, written an especially acted little scene

I love how he just took Becketts drink because of the look on Becketts face

Beckett probably should learn in negotiating class that you don't immediately reveal at the start of negotiations that you know absolutely nothing about the thing that you desperately want information about

This scene is so well done by characters who know how to use others to do their bidding perfectly

Becket- And what do I want? Sparrow- me, dead Becket- damn Love this interaction. It shows just how much he HATES Jack. Despite everything becket is trying to achieve he’d still rather see Jack dead most of all.

Jack: who am I??? Cutler:(some moves) Jack: I’m captain JACK SPARROW!! 😂😂

We need a back story on Jack's and Beckett's history together...like when and why he gave him the brand on his arm. ✌️

This scene in the book and deleted from the movie was originally more in depth for Jack. The reason the Black Peral was originally sunk by Beckett’s order was because Jack refused to follow through a ordered mission to bring People from Africa back as salves. Jack caught half way on during the journey and spun the boat around again brought the people back to Africa. Track down the original Pirates 3 Junior Novel , it’s in there. This is the reason side from Jack just being Jack is why he is my favourite pirate! The guy does actually have a good heart at the end of the day!

I love how he loses all confidence in saying his name at the end. It could've been a very cocky, "I'm Captain Jack Sparrow mate! 😏", but instead his disappointment that Beckett didn't know where he was going with that got the better of him. 😂

Something I missed when I watched this scene the first time. Captain Jack Sparrow didn't kill Beckett when he had the chance. He shakes his hand and runs out of the room. When the Captain negotiates, he means business.

I named my son Beckett. I never thought I had heard that name. Now knowing I watched this movie a million times growing up I’m shocked! It’s crazy how your mind can do that

You may kill me but you will never insult me...great line :)

They shouldn’t have deleted the “people aren’t cargo” line from this, it would’ve fit right in.

There was no way the cove could withstand blockade for years. The rum would be gone in a month and the pirates would just kill each other at that point.

Jack Sparrow: you may kill me but you may never insult me, Who am i? Mr.Beckett: (slightly shakes head) Jack Sparrow: I'm Captain Jack Sparrow... (Then the Ship gets hit) Which means everytime Jack Calls Out His Name There Is Always Luck To save him 😂

CB: Curious. Your friends appear to be quite desperate, Jack. Perhaps they no longer believe a gathering of squabbling pirates can defeat the Flying Dutchman, and so despair leads to betrayal. But you and I are no strangers to betrayal, are we’ It’s not here, Jack. JS: What’ What isn’t? CB: The heart of Davy Jones’.is safely aboard the Dutchman and so unavailable for use as leverage to satisfy your debt to the good captain. JS: By my reckoning, that account has been settled. CB: By your death’ And yet here you are. JS: Close your eyes and pretend it’s all a bad dream. That’s how I get by. CB: And if Davy Jones were to learn of your survival? CB: Might you consider an alternative arrangement’ One which requires absolutely nothing from you but information. JS: Regarding the Brethren Court, no doubt’ In exchange for fair compensation, square my debt with Jones’ Guarantee my freedom? CB: Of course. It’s just good business. JS: Were I in a divulge-itory mood, what then might I divulge? CB: Everything. Where are they meeting’ Who are the pirate lords’ What is the purpose of the nine pieces of eight? JS: You can keep Barbossa. The belligerent maculate and his friend with the wooden eye, both. And Turner ‘ especially Turner. The rest go with me on the Pearl and I’ll lead you to Shipwreck Cove where I will hand you the pirates and you will not hand me to Jones. CB: And what becomes of Miss Swann? JS: What interest is she to you? CB: Jack, I just recalled, I’ve got this wonderful compass which points to whatever I want. So for what do I need you? JS: Points to the thing you want most, which is not the Brethren Court, is it? CB: Then what is, Jack? JS: Me, dead. CB: Damn. Although, if I kill you, then I can use the compass to find Shipwreck Cove, is it’ on my own. Cut out the middle man, as it were. JS: With me killed, you’d arrive at the Cove, find its stronghold nigh impregnable ‘ able to withstand blockade for years ‘ and then you’d be wishing, ‘Oh, if only I hadn’t killed someone inside to ensure that the pirates then come outside.? CB: And you can accomplish all this, can you? JS: You may kill me, but you may never insult me. Who am I’ Captain Jack Sparrow! Done!

"You may kill me, but you never insult me" words I still live with today

I laughed when he pulled up that Fan . little touches like that he is so brilliant ..

1:16 yeah that's why we love Jack

-close your eyes and pretend it's all a bad dream, it's how I get by :-) gotta love Jack♡♡♡

Now thats what I call good business.

0:27 I love how Beckett here realizes that "This fucker's not listening to me."

‘It’s just good business’ imo that’s a good line for a villain to use to justify their actions
