Oh Bugger!

'Bugger Bugger Bugger BUGGER!'

That's Capt. Jack Sparrow's favourite line in Pirates of the Caribbean - The Dead Man's Chest.

I absolutely ADORE Johnny Depp and his character in Pirates! What utter pleasure than to watch him resume his zany role in this laudable Disney production (we haven't had many since don't know when!).

Pirates 2 is a definite must-watch summer movie. Finally something good comes along after a string of mediocre B-grade movies (or so they all seem like). The plot is not hundred percent cogent, but with Depp, there's never a dull moment.

Scriptwriters responsible for Capt. Sparrow's dialogue deserve much credit as well - the wit, the humour, the charm. Simply irresistable. Call me biased but Orlando Bloom's performance clearly paled in the mighty presence of Depp.

WARNING: Movie spoiler ahead!

Some of the Funny Quotes From the Movie

1. Jack Sparrow: Is this a dream?
'Bootstrap' Bill Turner: No, no, it is not a dream.
Jack Sparrow: Thought not. 'Cause if this were a dream... there'd be rum.

2. [Jack shows him a cloth containing a picture of a key which he has just risked his life for]
Gibbs: A key!
Jack Sparrow: No. Much more better... It's a drawing of a key!

3. Jack Sparrow: [to Norrington] What are you doing here? You look bloody awful.
Norrington: You hired me. I can't help it if your standards are lax.
Jack Sparrow: You smell funny.

4. Jack Sparrow: [to Elizabeth] You know, these clothes do not fancy you at all. It should be a dress or nothing. I happen to have no dress in my cabin.

5. Elizabeth Swann: It's real!
Norrington: My God. You actually were telling the truth.
Jack Sparrow: I do that quite a lot. Yet people are always surprised.
Will Turner: And with good reason.

6. Jack Sparrow: Dirt? This is a jar of dirt. How is this going to help me?
Tia Dalma: If you don't want it, you can always give it back.
Jack Sparrow: No.
Tia Dalma: Then it helps.

7. Jack Sparrow: Guard the boat, mind the tide... don't touch my dirt.

8. Jack Sparrow: [sing-song] I've got a jar of dirt! I've got a jar of dirt! And guess what's inside it?

9. Jack Sparrow: How did you get here?
Will Turner: Sea turtles, mate. A pair of them strapped to my feet.
Jack Sparrow: Not so easy is it?

10. Jack Sparrow: Why fight when you can negotiate?

11. Jack Sparrow: My incredibly intuitive sense of the female mind tells me you're troubled.

12. Davey Jones: Can you live with yourself Jack? Can you live with condemning an innocent man - a friend - to a life of solitude?
Jack Sparrow: Yep, I'm good with it.

13. Elizabeth Swann: There will come a moment when you have the chance to do the right thing.
Jack Sparrow: I love those moments. I like to wave at them as they pass by.

Hoho, this is such a good show! So feel like catching it AGAIN!
