Jack Davenport: Norrington
Photos
Quotes
-
Norrington : No additional shot nor powder, a compass that doesn't point north,
[looks at Jack's sword]
Norrington : And I half expected it to be made of wood. You are without doubt the worst pirate I've ever heard of.
Jack Sparrow : But you have heard of me.
-
[after Jack steals the Interceptor]
Officer : That's got to be the best pirate I've ever seen.
Norrington : So it would seem.
-
[protesting Jack's arrest]
Elizabeth : Commodore, I really must protest. Pirate or not, this man saved my life.
Norrington : One good deed is not enough to redeem a man of a lifetime of wickedness.
Jack Sparrow : Though it seems enough to condemn him.
Norrington : Indeed.
-
[Before Jack steals the Interceptor]
Norrington : That is, without doubt, the worst pirate I've ever seen.
-
Governor Swann : Hang him.
Norrington : Keep your guns on him, men. Gillette, fetch some irons.
[Pulls up Jack's sleeve]
Norrington : Well, well, well Jack Sparrow, isn't it?
Jack Sparrow : Captain Jack Sparrow, if you please sir.
Norrington : I don't see your ship, Captain.
Jack Sparrow : I'm in the market, as it were.
-
Young Elizabeth : I think it'd be rather exciting to meet a pirate.
Norrington : Think again, Miss Swann. Vile and dissolute creatures, the lot of them. I intend to see that any man who sails under a pirate flag or wears a pirate brand gets what he deserves: a short drop and a sudden stop.
Mr. Gibbs : [Mr. Gibbs poses as if he's been hanged]
Governor Swann : Lt. Norrington, I appreciate your fervor, but I'm concerned about the effect this subject will have upon my daughter.
Norrington : My apologies, Gov. Swann.
Young Elizabeth : Actually, I find it all fascinating.
Governor Swann : Yes. That's what concerns me.
-
Norrington : I, uh, apologize if I seem forward, but I must speak my mind... Ah, this promotion throws into sharp relief that which I have... not yet achieved: a marriage to a fine woman. You have become a fine woman, Elizabeth.
Elizabeth : [her corset is choking her] I can't breathe!
Norrington : Yes, I'm... I'm a bit nervous myself.
[Elizabeth faints and topples over the wall]
-
Norrington : Mr. Sparrow, you will accompany these fine men to the helm and provide us with the bearing to Isla de Muerta. You will then spend the remainder of the voyage contemplating all possible meanings of the phrase "silent as the grave". Do I make myself clear?
Jack Sparrow : Inescapably.

[first lines]
Young Elizabeth : [singing] Yo, ho, yo, ho/ a pirate's life for me/ Yo, ho, yo, ho/ it's a pirate's life for me/drink up me hearties, yo, ho...
Mr. Gibbs : [surprises her by coming up from behind her] Quiet, missy! Cursed pirates sail these waters. You want to call them down on us?
Norrington : [sharply] Mr. Gibbs, that will do!
Mr. Gibbs : She was singing about pirates. Bad luck to sing about pirates, with us mired in this unnatural fog... mark my words!
Norrington : Consider them marked.
Mr. Gibbs : 'Aye, Lieutenant.
[as he moves off]
Mr. Gibbs : Bad luck to have a woman on board, too. Even a miniature one.
-
Norrington : Good work, Mr. Brown. You've assisted in the capture of a dangerous fugitive.
Mr. Brown : Just doing my civic duty, sir.
Norrington : Well, I trust it you will always remember this as the day that Captain Jack Sparrow *almost* escaped. Take him away.
-
Norrington : You forget your place, Turner.
Will Turner : It's right here. Between you and Jack.
Elizabeth : As is mine.
Governor Swann : Elizabeth. Lower your weapons. For goodness sake, put them down.
Norrington : So, this is where your heart truly lies, then?
Elizabeth : It is.
-
Norrington : One good deed is not enough to redeem a man of a lifetime of wickedness.
Jack Sparrow : But it seems enough to condemn him.
-
Murtogg : What we doin' 'ere?
Mullroy : The pirates come out, unprepared and unawares. We catch 'em in a crossfire... send 'em down to see Old Hob.
Murtogg : I know *why* we're here. I mean, why aren't we doin' what - what Mr. Sparrow said? With the cannons and all?
Norrington : Because it was Mr. Sparrow who said it.
Murtogg : [short pause; he turns to Mullroy] You don't think 'e was tellin' the truth?
-
Norrington : Gillette, Mr. Sparrow has a dawn appointment with the gallows. I would hate for him to miss it.
-
Young Elizabeth : Boy! There's a boy in the water!
[Everyone leans over and sees an unconscious Will]
Norrington : MAN OVERBOARD! Haul him in.
[They pull Will aboard]
Norrington : [sighs] He's still breathing.
Mr. Gibbs : Mary, mother of God!
[Everyone looks in the distance, where a destroyed British ship is in flames]
-
Norrington : [to Will] Do not make the mistake in thinking you are the only man here who cares for Elizabeth.
-
Norrington : You are without doubt the worst pirate I've ever heard of!
Jack Sparrow : But you have heard of me.
