    * He who sleeps with pigs will rise with odor.
    * Don't take other people's treasure, even if they're dead.
    * Pirates are not all bad.
    * Rum is very handy for starting large fires.
    * Increasing one's vocabulary is a good thing.
    * When bargaining, be sure the terms are very clear.
    * Monkeys can be cursed.
    * Be very careful when telling people a fake name.
    * The closet is probably not the best hiding place.
    * Sometimes people deserved to be slapped.
    * Not all treasure is silver and gold.
    * A good decision can be a wrong decision if made for the wrong reasons.
    * Dogs are useless for prison escapes.
    * Know when to break the rules. Sometimes "codes" are merely guidelines!
    * Some people are as vacant as a hotel run by Norman Bates.
    * Try not to fall behind. People will leave you.
    * On occasion, the booze must be sacrificed for the greater good.
    * Avoid picking up hats that are floating in the ocean.
    * Some people are entirely too caught up with their titles.
    * Deals made in desperation can only end badly.
    * To avoid misunderstandings, use first names when doling out assignments.
    * A flogging from someone who loves you might spare you from a worse flogging from someone who doesn't.
    * There comes a time when one must take responsibility for one's mistakes
    * Sometimes it's not about winning or losing.
    * Be very suspicious when someone suggests that you settle their debts.
    * Why fight when you can negotiate?
    * Sea monsters have a remarkably predictable attack plan.
    * Sometimes the only way for a pirate to make a living is by betraying other pirates.
    * Words whispered through prison bars lose their charm.
    * No course is lost if but one fool is left to fight.
    * Never trust a man who will sell his loyalty for a bribe.
    * Cursed monkeys are even more annoying in miniature.
    * A ruthless cad betrays your trust and does you wrong? Gee, who could've seen that coming!
    * Be very suspicious when an ex starts to show interest in you again.
    * Trying to be selfish may cost you. Big time.


    Try to remember the scene. :cool:

    Death has a curious way of reshuffling ones priorities :P
    Found the whole dialogue, interesting.

    From Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End:

    Jack: Let someone else dispatch Jones.

    Will: Who? You?

    Jack: Death has a curious way of reshuffling one's priorities. I slip aboard the Dutchman, find the heart, stab the beating thing, your father's free from his debt, you're free to be with your charming murderess.

    Will: You're willing to cut out your heart and bind yourself to the Dutchman... ...forever?

    Jack: No, mate. I'm free forever. Free to sail the seas beyond the edges of the map. Free from death itself.

    Will: You have to do the job though, Jack. You have to ferry souls to the next world. Or end up just like Jones.

    Jack: I don't have the face for tentacles. But immortal has to count for something, eh?

    I love Pirates..I've seen them many times and remember many random moments.

    My all time favorite probably is below though it's really hard to choose.

    Will asks something like is Elizabeth ok, to which jack answers.

    "she's safe, just as I promised, she's all set to marry Commodore Norrington just like she promised and you get to die for her just like you promised, so we are all men of our words except for Elizabeth, who infact is a woman" :P
