Cutler Beckett – Character Quotes

— I've got this wonderful compass which points to whatever I want. So for what do I need you?
<...>
— Points to the thing you want most. And that is not the Brethren Court, is it?
— Then what is, Jack?
— Me. Dead.

— My hands are clean in this. Figuratively.

— You're mad.
— Thank goodness for that, because if I wasn't, this would probably never work.

— You may kill me, but you may never insult me. Who am I?... I'm Captain Jack Sparrow.

This is no longer your world, Jones.

The immaterial has become immaterial.
