Ahoy there! Let’s set sail on the high seas of cinema as we take you through some of the best Pirates of the Caribbean quotes. There be no shortage of swashbuckling adventures, wily pirates, cursed treasures, and witty one-liners in this beloved film franchise.

From the moment Captain Jack Sparrow staggers onto the silver screen with his unmistakable swagger and quirky charm, audiences know they are in for a wild ride. Johnny Depp’s iconic portrayal of the charismatic yet eccentric pirate captain catapulted this franchise to legendary status. It also gave us some fascinating lines to cherish. His most iconic line became synonymous with his character: “Why is the rum always gone?” Aye, Jack, we’ve all wondered that at some point!

It’s not just Captain Jack who graces us with memorable quotes. The delightful Elizabeth Swann, played by Keira Knightley, brings her fair share of wit and determination to the mix. Who can forget her spirited retort to Jack, “You like pain? Try wearing a corset!”

Of course, what’s a pirate tale without a fearsome antagonist? Enter Captain Hector Barbossa, portrayed by the brilliant Geoffrey Rush. His lines “First, your return to shore was not part of our negotiations, nor our agreement, so I must do nothing. And secondly, you must be a pirate for the Pirate’s Code to apply, and you’re not.” can send chills down any landlubber’s spine.

And we’d be remiss not to mention the legendary line that echoes throughout the franchise: “Dead men tell no tales.”

These 71 Pirates of the Caribbean quotes will transport you to a world filled with magic, mystery, and endless possibilities. So batten down the hatches and join us as we explore the unforgettable lines.

    "The only rules that 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?" — Jack Sparrow
