不过，罗西奥和艾利奥特拿出的剧本还是比较“规矩”的，虽然主题隐晦而尖锐--明显不是给孩子看的奇幻历险剧，但剧本中的杰克船长可没有大银幕上那般古怪另类，当然，这可全拜导演戈尔·维宾斯基和主演约翰尼·德普所赐，虽然两人当初并不知道将这个角色弄得如此疯癫如此古怪是否行得通，还是将风险一并承担下来。杰克船长结合了摇滚歌手基思·理查兹(Keith Richards)和有着法国腔的著名卡通形象臭鼬“Pepe Le Pew”的某些共性：生活不安定、性格狂野、想做就做、矛盾而混乱……约翰尼·德普表示自己并非单纯地模仿理查兹的动作，而是抓住了其中的神髓，那是一种美丽又懒散的自信，眼睛上的浓眼影、头发上的连串珠子，都是“自由”的标志--“海盗”一词在德普的心中就代表着“绝对的自由”，感觉就像是18世纪的摇滚明星。于是他诠释的杰克船长就这样变成了一个精明的冒险家，有着轻松快乐、不加停顿的圆滑腔调，说着像妇人一样阴柔狡诈的花言巧语，走起路来摇曳生风--这些都令迪斯尼公司的行政长官们牙齿不停地打颤，说德普一个人就可以毁掉这部耗资巨大的影片，还嘲笑他的杰克船长看起来就像是个基佬。
Jack Sparrow: Did no one come to save me just because they missed me?
[Everyone looks around. Finally Jack the Monkey raises his hand]
杰克·斯派洛：难道在你们这些人当中，没有一个只是因为想念我才救我的吗？
（每一个人都互相看了看，最后只有那只同样叫杰克的猴子举起了它的手）
Jack Sparrow: Why should I sail with any of you? Four of you have tried to kill me in the past.
[looks at Elizabeth]
Jack Sparrow: One of you succeeded.
杰克·斯派洛：我为什么应该告诉你们啊？要知道你们四个有一个算一个，过去都曾想过要杀我。
（看着伊丽莎白）
杰克·斯派洛：其中有一个还成功了。
Lord Cutler Beckett: [Jack has a cannon aimed at Beckett] You're mad!
Jack Sparrow: [grins] Thank goodness for that because if I wasn't, this'd probably never work.
卡特勒·贝凯特大人（看到杰克将大炮对准了他）：你疯了！
杰克·斯派洛（裂着嘴一笑）：感谢老天爷，因为如果我没有疯，可能永远都不会让你体验到被炮轰的恐惧。
Barbossa: There was a time when a pirate was free to make his own way in the world. But our time is comin' to an end. Our enemies are united; they vow to destroy us. The Pirate Lords from the four corners of the Earth, must stand together.
Barbossa: [at a pirate gathering] There's not been a gathering like this in our lifetime.
Jack Sparrow: And I owe them all money.
巴伯萨（看着一名海盗在收钱）：在我有生之年，从没看过这种收钱方式。
杰克·斯派洛：可能是因为我欠他们每一个人钱。
Lord Cutler Beckett: They know they face extinction. All that remains is where they make their final stand.
卡特勒·贝凯特大人：他们知道自己即将被消灭，所以他们要放手一搏。
Tia Dalma: What would you do? What would any of you be willing to do? Would you brave the weird and haunted shores at world's end to fetch back wit' ye Jack?
Elizabeth Swann: It would never have worked out between us.
Jack Sparrow: Keep telling yourself that, darling.
伊丽莎白·斯万：咱们两个不会有结果的。
杰克·斯派洛：记得时刻提醒自己，亲爱的。
Will Turner: Will you marry me?
Elizabeth Swann: [fighting a battle] I don't think now's the best time!
Will Turner: Now may be the only time! I love you. I made my choice. What's yours?
威尔·特纳：你会嫁给我吗？
伊丽莎白·斯万（打斗中）：我认为现在不是说这个的时候！
威尔·特纳：现在可能是我惟一的机会！我爱你！我做出了我的选择，那么你的呢？
Lord Cutler Beckett: You fight, and all of you will die.
卡特勒·贝凯特大人：你们一旦参加战斗，就都得死。
[Giselle and Scarlett are fighting]
Jack Sparrow: Ladies! Will you please shut it? Listen to me. Yes, I lied to you. No, I don't love you. Of course it makes you look fat. I've never been to Brussels. It is pronounced "egregious". By the way, no, I've never met Pizzaro but I love his pies. And all of this pales to utter insignificance in light of the fact that my ship is once again gone. Savvy?
Barbossa: [Captain Barbossa and Captain Jack Sparrow are both trying to give orders] What are you doing?
Jack Sparrow: What are you doing?
Barbossa: No, what are you doing?
Jack Sparrow: What are you doing?
Barbossa: No, what are you doing?
Jack Sparrow: What are you doing? Hmm. Captain gives orders on the ship.
Barbossa: The Captain of this ship is giving orders!
Jack Sparrow: [thinking] My ship, makes me captain!
Barbossa: They be my charts!
Jack Sparrow: That makes you Chart-man!
Pintel: Stow it! The both of you! That's an order! Understand!
[They glare at him]
Pintel: Sorry, I just thought that with the Captain issue in doubt I'd just throw in my name for consideration. Sorry.
巴伯萨（杰克·斯派洛和巴伯萨都想当船长下达命令）：你干什么呢？
杰克·斯派洛：你干什么呢？
巴伯萨：不，你干什么呢？
杰克·斯派洛：你干什么呢？
巴伯萨：不，你干什么呢？
杰克·斯派洛：你干什么呢？嗯，船长有权在船上下达命令。
巴伯萨：只有这艘船上的船长才有权下达命令！
杰克·斯派洛（想了一下）：我的船，当然我是船长！
巴伯萨：但这些航海图是属于我的。
杰克·斯派洛：那只会让你成为一个画图表的人。
皮泰尔：别吵了，你们两个，这是命令！明白？
（他们对他怒目而视）
皮泰尔：对不起，我只是想既然拿不准谁来当这个船长，那么是不是可以把我的名字考虑进去，对不起。
Young Elizabeth: Yo-ho, yo-ho, a pirate's life for me.
小时候的伊丽莎白：唷，唷，我的海盗人生。
Jack Sparrow: [to Beckett] Who am I?
[Beckett, who doesn't answer, looks confused]
Jack Sparrow: [rather hurt] I'm Captain Jack Sparrow.
杰克·斯派洛（对卡特勒·贝凯特说）：我是谁？
（卡特勒·贝凯特没有回答，但是看起来很困惑）
杰克·斯派洛（有点受伤的表情）：我是杰克·斯派洛船长。
Captain Sao Feng: Jack Sparrow, you have paid me a great insult.
Jack Sparrow: That doesn't sound like me.
[Sao Feng punches Jack in the nose]
萧峰船长：杰克·斯派洛，你给了我极大的侮辱。
杰克·斯派洛：你口中那个人好像不是我。
（萧峰打中了杰克的鼻子）
Barbossa: Everything we've ever done has lead to this.
巴伯萨：我们做过的每一件事导致了这样的结果。
Jack Sparrow: My hands are clean of this.
杰克·斯派洛：这可不是我偷的。
Jack Sparrow: We'll have to fight... to run away!
杰克·斯派洛：我们不得不反抗……然后逃跑！
Elizabeth Swann: Will you ever forgive me?
Jack Sparrow: No.
伊丽莎白·斯万：你会原谅我吗？
杰克·斯派洛：不会。
Davy Jones: Do you feel dead?
Jack Sparrow: You have no idea.
戴维·琼斯：你感觉到死亡了吗？
杰克·斯派洛：你肯定感觉不到。
Barbossa: The only way for a pirate to make a living these days is by betraying other pirates.
巴伯萨：这些日子以来，海盗惟一能够采用的生存方式，就是背叛其他海盗。
Davy Jones: Are you prepared for what's next?
戴维·琼斯：你准备好做下一个了吗？
Jack Sparrow: Should he be doing that?
[about Monkey Jack running around below decks]
杰克·斯派洛：它应该那么做吗？
（指猴子杰克在甲板上乱窜）
Jack Sparrow: I promise you will not be dissapointed. Count on that!
[pointing his gun at Davy Jones crew]
杰克·斯派洛：我保证你们不会失望的。看看我手中的是什么！
（将他的枪对准了戴维·琼斯的船员）
Jack Sparrow: [as he sees rock-like crabs] Now we're being followed by rocks. Never heard that before.
杰克·斯派洛（看到像岩石一样坚硬的螃蟹腿）：现在我们正被一群石头跟着，真是闻所未闻。
Jack Sparrow: You take the shore party, I'll stay with my ship.
杰克·斯派洛：你参加你的海岸Party，我要和我的船待在一起。
Elizabeth Swann: [watching a huge fight among the pirates] This is madness!
Jack Sparrow: This is politics!
伊丽莎白·斯万（看着海盗们混战在了一起）：这太疯狂了！
杰克·斯派洛：这就是政治！
Jack Sparrow: Will you tell me something? Have you come because you need my help to save a certain distressing damsel? Er... rather damsel in distress? Either one.
每次都让我回
