    Why Bootstrap Bill?

    Posted

    From the script on the fandom page..

    BARBOSSA:

    Ah, so you don't know as much as you

    pretend. Back when Cortes was cutting a

    great bloody swath through the New

    World, a high priest gave. him all the

    gold they had, with one condition: that

    he spare the people's lives. Of course,

    Cortes being Cortes, he didn't.

    (nods)

    He'd've made a great pirate, that one.

    Barbossa stands, moves to a shelf. Puts a key to a mediumsized

    polished wooden box -- the Captain's chest. Opens it.

    BARBOSSA (CONT'D)

    So the priest, with his dying breath,

    called on the power of the blood of his

    people, and put on the gold a curse. If

    anyone took so much as a single piece,

    as he was compelled by greed, by greed

    he would be consumed.

    Inside the chest are charts, some gold, a sextant -- and a

    few pages of a Mayan CODEX, pieces of tree bark inscribed

    with Mayan glyphs. Barbossa removes them carefully, sets

    them on the table. Pours over them.

    BARBOSSA (CONT'D)

    Within a day of leaving port for Spain,

    the treasure ship carrying the gold ...

    something went wrong. The ship run

    aground, every man aboard dead, save

    one. He survived long enough to hide

    the gold ashore.

    (beat)

    Over time, the dark magic of the curse

    seeped into the place, making it a

    cursed island. An island of death. Isla

    de Muerta.

    (etc.)

    BARBOSSA

    You idiot girl! It's no makebelieve!

    My crew and I, we found

    the gold, and we did more than

    take one piece, we took it all.

    Rich men we were and we spent it

    and traded it and gave it away in

    exchange

    for drink and food and pleasant company. But we found out:

    the drink could not sate us, and the food turned to ashes

    in our mouths, and no amount of pleasant company could ease

    our torment.

    (regains his composure)

    We are cursed men, Miss Turner,

    condemned, to be forever consumed by our own greed. Gold

    calls to UB, always, and we are driven, always, to find

    more, and add it to the treasure.

    Barbossa picks up the priceless Codex. Crushes them in his

    fist.

    BARBOSSA (CONT'D)

    There is but one way to remove the

    curse. All of the scattered pieces

    of the treasure must be restored

    in full, and the blood repaid.

    (he throws the pages

    aside)

    We've recovered every piece --

    save for this.

    (holds up the medallion)

    And as for the blood ... that's

    what we have you for.

    (contd)

    BARBOSSA

    Here we stand before the cursed

    treasure of Cortez himself. Won by

    blood, it demands blood in return.

    This is from the Script. It explains why he and his kin were needed...sorta.

    BARBOSSA

    Where's his child? The child that

    sailed from England eight years

    ago, the child who is the real

    owner of that medallion, the child

    in whose veins flows the blood of

    William Turner?! Where?

    and then..

    Ah, William Turner. Stupid blighter. He

    threw in with us after we relieved Jack

    Sparrow of his captaincy, but turned

    out, it never sat well with himparticularly

    after we found Cortes'

    treasure, and its peculiar condition.

    He thought we deserved to be cursed,

    for leaving ol' Jack to the fate we

    did. That's why he sent off a piece of

    the treasure -- to you, as it were: so

    it would never be recovered, and so

    cursed we_ remain.

    this is for Museum Replicas Limited. They are pricey, but they have some nice things. I know the coat for the captain is very nice, and fits an average person well. The only thing I hated was the little bows on it in gold.. made it look very froo froo, and the trim was more Greek Key than 17th century.
