#the curse of the black pearl

"Elizabeth had become so disillusioned with the whole idea of pirates. And now here Will is finally stepping up and becoming the romantic pirate hero that she dreamed of meeting when she was 12 years old. It’s the guy who breaks the laws for what he believes is right, not for his own gain but for other people… That’s the romantic image and that’s what Will becomes. He’s the first and only pirate in the movie who is actually a pirate-movie pirate."

Stuard Beattie, Ted Elliott & Terry Rossio and Jay Wolpert - Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl audio commentary

Elizabeth steps forward. Swann's jacket slips off her. She is unconcerned, but he is intent on putting it back on her. ➢ script from THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL (2003)

"A lot of people ask, if this is an adventure or a love story. And to me, I think, it’s a love story at heart. Because there wouldn’t have been a story if Will didn’t love Elizabeth. It would have been Elizabeth being kidnapped, and that would be the end of it. But because he loves her, he goes to all these lengths. That’s what drives him, and that’s what drives the story. At the end of the day, I think it’s a love story between these two people. Separated by class, then the worst thing in the world happens, and it ends up being the one thing they needed to get them together."

・You were enemies, you were supposed to be enemies.

・But fate (always) has other plans.

・Your first interaction wasn't the normal law vs outlaw situation

・It was like James couldn't breathe; your eyes, there was something so ... invigorating about them. They drew him in. Words became difficult.

・But when you pulled a weapon, he snapped back into his normal self.

・With his sword pressed against your neck, your smirked and in a flash, twirled and slipped out a hidden dagger. With the sharp knife pressed against his throat, you both subconciously agreed never to hurt one another. Even if you were sworn enemies.

"What's your name?" James said sternly. The height difference made it harder to keep your dagger pressed to his skin.

"Oh, wig, wouldn't you like to know?" And then you lightly bit his ear and disappeared.

・A shiver went down his spine.

・And he hoped no one saw the interaction, because now he was smiling.

・When you were apart, time felt like it was going by too quickly. James was yearning for you, his heart thudding whenever he thought about you.

・After running into each other three separate times, being away from you was too much to bear.

・When you were together, time stopped.

・Eyes looking into eyes. Hands caressing the smallest part of bare skin. Both of you were breathless.

・But you had to keep this from your crew. From the rest of the pirate community.

・If they knew you were together with someone from the law, no one would trust you.

・Your nickname for him is 'wig,' since he always wears that awful powdered white wig. You've told him how terrible it is, but he sees it as another badge for his status.

・Being together means you become more open-minded. You see things from each other's point of views.

・You love the way he becomes so flustered when you whisper in his ear. He always thanks the good god in heaven that he's wearing sleeves because goosebumps erupt as well.

・When he whispered, "I love you," for the first time, you couldn't breathe. This wasn't supposed to go so far. But it did. It has.

・You sat up as thoughts flooded your head.

・Could you ever get married? Would either of you even want to quit your life for the other?

・You looked back at James, who was sprawled in the sheets. His ugly wig discarded, no uniform to be found.

・All you wanted to do was stay in his arms. But your crew could only stay drunk for so long. And you had to get back to them.

・One thing you did know, was that his love would last.

・But your life wasn't ready to change just yet; so you both got dressed, kissed each other goodbye and ... walked away.

・As he had slipped a piece of parchment in your clothes. It read, "forever."
