William 'Will' Turner's Quotes from:
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.

William 'Will' Turner is portrayed by Orlando Bloom.



Will: Good day, sir. I have your order. The blade is folded steel, that’s gold filigree laid into the handle. If I may? Perfectly balanced. The tang is nearly the full width of the blade.
Governor Swann : Impressive, very impressive. Ah, now, Commodore Norrington is going to be very pleased with this. Do pass my compliments on to your Master.
Will : I shall. A craftsman is always pleased to hear his work is appreciated.
Governor Swann : Ah, Elizabeth , you look absolutely stunning.
Elizabeth : Will! So good to see you. I had a dream about you last night.
Will : About me?
Governor Swann : Elizabeth , is that entirely proper for you to…?
Elizabeth : About the day we met, do you remember?
Will : How could I forget, Miss Swann ?
Elizabeth : Will, how many times must I ask you to call me Elizabeth ?
Will: At least once more, Miss Swann , as always.
Governor Swann : There, see, at least the boy has a sense of propriety. Now, we really must be going. Farewell.
Elizabeth : Good day, Mr. Turner.
Governor Swann : Come along.
Will: Good day… Elizabeth .


Will : Right where I left you. Not where I left you. You're the one they're hunting. The pirate.
Jack : You seem somewhat familiar. Have I threatened you before?
Will : I make a point of avoiding familiarity with pirates.
Jack : Ah. Well, then it would be a shame to put a black mark on your record. So, if you'll excuse me. Do you think this wise, boy, crossing blades with a pirate?
Will : You threatened Miss. Swann.
Jack : Only a little. You know what you’re doing, I’ll give you that. Excellent form but how’s your footwork? If I step here; very good. Now I step again. Ta. That is a wonderful trick except once again you are between me and my way out. And now you have no weapon. Who makes all these?
Will : I do! And I practice with them three hours a day!
Jack : You need to find yourself a girl, mate! Or, perhaps the reason you practice three hours a day is that you already found one and are otherwise incapable of wooing said strumpet. You're not a eunuch, are you?
Will : I practice three hours a day, so that when I meet a pirate, I can kill it! You cheated!
Jack : Pirate! Move away.
Will: No.
Jack : Please, move.
Will: No! I cannot just step aside and let you escape.
Jack : This shot is not meant for you.


Grapple: Say goodbye!
Will: Goodbye.
Pintel: Come on!
Elizabeth : Will.
Will : Elizabeth.


Will : They’ve taken her. They’ve taken Elizabeth.
Norrington: Mr. Murtogg , remove this man.
Will : We have to hunt them down, we must save her.
Governor Swann : And where do you propose we start? If you have any information concerning my daughter, please, share it.
Murtogg: That Jack Sparrow . He talked about the Black Pearl.
Mullroy: Mentioned it, is more what he did.
Will : Ask him where it is. Make a deal with him he could lead us to it.
Norrington: No…the pirates who invaded this Fort left Sparrow locked in his cell ergo they are not his allies. Governor, we will establish their most likely course…
Will : That’s not good enough!
Norrington: Mr. Turner , you are not a military man, you are not a sailor. You are a blacksmith and this is not the moment for rash actions. Do not make the mistake of thinking you are the only man here who cares for Elizabeth .


Will: You, Sparrow!
Jack : Aye.
Will : You are familiar with that ship, the Black Pearl?
Jack : I’ve heard of it.
Will : Where does it make berth?
Jack : Where does it make berth? Have you not heard the stories? Captain Barbossa and his crew of miscreants sailed from the dreaded Isla de Muerta . It’s an island that cannot be found except by those who already know where it is.
Will : The ship’s real enough. Therefore its anchorage must be a real place. Where is it?
Jack : Why ask me?
Will : Because you’re a pirate.
Jack : And you want to turn pirate yourself, is that it?
Will : Never! They took Miss Swann .
Jack : Oh, so it is that you’ve found a girl. I see. Well, if you’re intending to brave all, hasten to her rescue and so win fair lady’s heart you’ll have to do it alone, mate. I see no profit in it for me.
Will : I can get you out of here.
Jack : How’s that? The key’s run off.
Will : I helped build these cells. These are half pin-barrel hinges. With the right leverage and proper application of strength, the door will lift free.
Jack : What’s your name?
Will: Will Turner .
Jack : That will be short for William , I imagine. Good, strong name. No doubt, named for your father, ay?
Will: Yes.
Jack : Aha. Well, Mr. Turner , I changed me mind. If you spring me from this cell, I swear on pain of death, I shall take you to the Black Pearl and your bonny lass. Do we have an accord?
Will : Agreed.
Jack : Agreed, get me out.
Will : Hurry, someone will have heard that.
Jack : Not without my effects.


Will : We’re going to steal the ship. That ship?
Jack : Commandeer. We’re going to commandeer that ship. Nautical term. One question about your business boy, there’s no use going, unless you go. This girl, how far are you willing to go to save her?
Will : I’d die for her.
Jack : Oh, good. No worries, then.


Will : This is either madness or brilliance.
Jack : Remarkable how often those two traits coincide. Everyone stay calm, we are taking over the ship.
Will : Aye, avast!


Will : Here they come.


Will : When I was a lad living in England , my mother raised me by herself. After she died, I came out here, looking for my father.
Jack : Is that so?
Will: My father, Will Turner. At the jail it was only after you learned my name that you agreed to help. Since that’s what I wanted, I didn’t press the matter. I’m not a simpleton, Jack. You knew my father.
Jack : I knew ‘im. Probably one the few who knew him as William Turner , everyone else just called him Bootstrap or Bootstrap Bill.
Will: Bootstrap?
Jack : Good man, good pirate. I swear you look just like him.
Will : It’s not true, he was a merchant sailor; a good, respectable man who obeyed the law
Jack : He was a bloody pirate, a scallywag.
Will : My father was not a pirate.
Jack : Put it away, son. It’s not worth you getting beat again.
Will : You didn’t beat me; you ignored the rules of engagement. In a fair fight, I’d have killed you.
Jack : Then that’s no incentive for me to fight fair, is it? As long as you’re just hanging there, pay attention. The only rules that really matter are these: what a man can do and what a man can’t do. For instance – you can accept that your father was a pirate and a good man or you can’t. But pirate is in your blood, boy, so you’ll have to square with that someday. And me, for example, I can let you drown but I can’t bring this ship into Tortuga all by me onesies, savvy? So… can you sail under the command of a pirate or can you not?
Will : Tortuga ?
Jack : Tortuga .


Jack : What do you think?
Will : It'll linger.


Will : That was for the smell.


Will : So this is your able-bodied crew?


Jack : Satisfied?
Will : Well, you’ve proved their mad.


Will : I suppose you didn’t deserve that one either.
Jack : No, that one I deserved.


Jack : You’ll get another one.
Anamaria: I will?
Will: A better one.
Jack : A better one!
Will: That one.
Jack : What one? That one?! Aye! That one. What say you?


Will : How can we sail to an island that nobody can find with a compass that doesn’t work?


Will : How is it that Jack came by that compass?
Gibbs : Not a lots known about Jack Sparrow before he showed up in Tortuga with a mind to go after the treasure of the Isla de Muerta . That was before I met him. Back when he was Captain of the Black Pearl.
Will: What? He failed to mention that.
Gibbs : Well, he plays things close to the vest now. And a hard learned lesson it was. See three days out on the venture the first mate comes to him and says everything’s an equal share as should be the location of the treasure, too. So, Jack gives up the bearings. That night there was a mutiny. They marooned Jack on an island and left him to die but not before he’d gone mad with the heat.
Will : Ah. So that's the reason for the…
Gibbs : Reason's got nothing to do with it. Now Will , when a man is marooned he is a given a pistol with a single shot. Well it won't do much good hunting or to be rescued. But after three weeks of starvin’ belly and thirst that pistol starts to look real friendly. But Jack made it off the island and he still has that one shot. Oh, but he won't use it though, save for one man. His mutinous first mate.
Will: Barbossa.
Gibbs : Aye.
Will : How did Jack get off the island?
Gibbs : Well, I’ll tell you. He waded out into the shallows and he waited three days and three nights till all manner of sea creatures came and acclimated to his presence. And on the fourth morning he roped himself a couple of sea turtles, lashed them together and made a raft.
Will : He roped a couple of sea turtles?
Gibbs : Aye, sea turtles.
Will : What did he use for rope?
Jack : Human hair, from my back. Let go of the anchor!


Will : What code is Gibbs to keep to if the worst should happen?
Jack : Pirate’s code. Any man that falls behind is left behind.
Will : No heroes amongst thieves, eh?
Jack : You know for having such a bleak outlook on pirates you’re well on your way to becoming one. Sprung a man from jail, commandeered a ship of the Fleet, sailed with a buccaneer crew out of Tortuga…and you’re completely obsessed with treasure.
Will : That’s not true. I’m not obsessed with treasure.
Jack : Not all treasure is silver and gold, mate.
Barbossa: Gentlemen, the time has come! Salvation is nigh! Our torment is near at end.
Will: Elizabeth .


Will : Jack !
Jack : Not yet. We wait for the opportune moment.
Will : When’s that? When it’s of greatest profit to you?
Jack : May I ask you something? Have I ever given you reason not to trust me? Do us a favor, I know it’s difficult for you but please stay here… and try not to do anything stupid.


Will : Sorry, Jack , I’m not going to be your leverage.


Gibbs : Hey, boy! Where be Jack ?
Elizabeth : Jack? Jack Sparrow ?
Will : He fell behind.


Elizabeth : What sort of a man trades a man’s life for a ship?
Will: Pirate. Here, let me.
Elizabeth : Thank you.
Will : You said you gave Barbossa my name as yours. Why?
Elizabeth : I don’t know.
Will : I’m sorry. Blacksmith’s hands, I know they’re rough.
Elizabeth : No…I mean yes, they are but… but don’t stop.
Will: Elizabeth …
Elizabeth: It’s yours.
Will: I thought I’d lost it the day they rescued me. It was a gift from my father, he sent it to me. Why did you take it?
Elizabeth : Because I was afraid that you were a pirate. That would’ve been awful.
Will : It wasn’t your blood they needed…it was my father’s blood…my blood…the blood of a pirate.
Elizabeth : I’m so sorry, please forgive me.


Will : We’re gonna need that.
Anamaria: It was a good plan up ‘till now.
Will: Gibbs ! We have to make a stand. We must fight! Load the guns!
Anamaria: With what?
Will: Anything. Everything! Anything we have left.


Elizabeth : Lower the anchor on the right side. On the starboard side!
Will : It certainly has the element of surprise.


Will : Keep us steady now. Now!


Will : She’s not what they’re after.


Will : Help! Hey! Below!


Elizabeth : Will … Will!
Will: Elizabeth !
Jack : Monkey!
Elizabeth : I can’t move it. Will!
Will: Elizabeth !


Will : Barbossa!
Elizabeth : Will.
Will : She goes free.
Barbossa: What’s in your head, boy?
Will : She goes free!
Barbossa: You’ve only got one shot and we can’t die.
Jack : Don’t do anything stupid.
Will : You can’t…I can.
Jack : Like that.
Barbossa: Who are you?
Jack : No one. He’s no one. A distant cousin of my aunt’s nephew twice removed. Lovely singing voice, though. Eunuch.
Will : My name is Will Turner . My father was Bootstrap Bill Turner. His blood runs in my veins.
Ragetti: He’s a spitting image of ol’ Bootstrap Bill come back to haunt us.
Will : On my word do as I say or I’ll pull this trigger and be lost to Davy Jones’ Locker.
Barbossa: Name your terms, Mr. Turner .
Will : Elizabeth goes free.
Barbossa: Yes, we know that one. Anything else?
Will : And the crew, the crew are not to be harmed.
Barbossa: Agreed.


Will: Barbossa, you lying bastard! You swore she’d go free!


Will : You knew William Turner ?


Will: Jack !
Barbossa: S’not possible.
Jack : Not probable.
Will : Where’s Elizabeth ?
Jack : She’s safe, just like I promised. She's all set to marry Norrington, just like she promised. And you get to die for her, just like you promised. So we're all men of our word really except for Elizabeth who is, in fact, a woman.


Will : You’ve been planning this from the beginning. Ever since you learned my name.
Jack : Yeah.


Elizabeth : Whose side is Jack on?
Will : At the moment?


Elizabeth : We should return to the Dauntless.
Will : Your fiancé will be wanting to know you’re safe.
Jack : If you were waiting for the opportune moment…that was it.


Will : Governor Swann . Commodore. Elizabeth . I should have told you every day from the moment I met you…I love you.


Will: Move!


Will : And a good man. If all I have achieved here is that the hangman will earn two pairs of boots instead of one, so be it. At least my conscience will be clear.
Norrington: You forget your place, Turner.
Will : It’s right here, between you and Jack .
Elizabeth : As is mine.


Will : I will accept the consequences of my actions.
Norrington: This is a beautiful sword. I would expect the man who made it to show the same care and devotion in every aspect of his life.
Will : Thank you.
