Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest quotes

View Quote Pintel: [about Jack, Norrington and Will fighting] How'd this go all screwy?
Ragetti: Well, each man wants the chest for himself, don't 'e? Mr. Norrington, I think, is trying to regain a bit of honor. Old Jack's looking to trade it, save his own skin. And Turner there, I think 'e's trying to settle some unresolved business 'twixt him and his twice-cursed pirate father. [belches.]
Pintel: Sad. That chest must be worth more 'n a pretty penny.
Ragetti: [tutting.] Terrible temptation.
Pintel: If we was any sort of decent, we'd remove temptation from their path.
