So Captain Jack Sparrow we meet at last...
It's a pleasure I'm sure.
So what's it like being one of the coolest pirates ever?
It's a lot better now that I have the Pearl back. The sequels are shaping up to be great adventures too.
I hear in the future you plan to take on the infamous Davey Jones himself?
Yeah, the world has not seen the end of Jack Sparrow. He and the Pearl and the whole gang will be back together soon.
You like your ship a lot, huh?
It's like this, mate: A ship means freedom for a pirate... I love that line. Seriously though it was a great set to shoot on.
I bet... all those cannons and stuff. I'll bet you shot a lot of stuff!
Oh yeah... in the one scene we just went crazy. People were shooting anything and everything we could get our hands on. It was all improv. It was a great scene.
So back to the ship, why not steal the soldiers' cool ship and leave the cruddy old Pearl to the undead guys? Then you could have Freedom and a ship that attracts hotties.
Heh heh, what?! Are you serious? You do realize it was a movie, right? If I had let the Pearl go and stole the good ship there would be no plot and the ticket sales would have come in lower than Haunted mansion.
Haunted mansion? Wow, that sounds like one of Captain Sparrow's adventures I havn't heard yet. Maybe you can elaborate?
Uhh, that was a Disney movie.
Speaking of movies, what are your thoughts on Hollywood's portrayal of pirates?
Well, I think they tend to make pirates more lovable than they actually were...
What about Wesley in The Princess Bride? He was pretty cool. Some say he was the sexiest pirate ever. I think you could take him in a fight, though. Just don't let him near your wine. He cheats.
Ummmm....
But you were pretty suave in Pirates of the Carribean. You don't think Wesley would lose?
I'm just an actor... all those fights were fake.
I see, and I suppose the undead pirates were some elaborate special effect. Is that it?
Exactly! My real name is Jhonny Depp, I just...
LIAR!!!! You are Jack Sparrow!!!
...
...sorry. Let's move on...
We have established the fact that you are a cooler pirate than Wesley, who was really more of like a ninja with all that black and the mask and stuff. We also know you could have kicked his butt in a real fight, but how would you stand against Captain Redbeard?
Who?
You know, Captain Redbeard the Lego pirate.
I havn't had the pleasure of meeting him, I guess.
Say hi, Captain Redbeard.
...
I see. It's nice to meet you...
...
He likes you, I think... So then, who would win in a fight between you two?
I think I would. I'd just pull his head off and throw it overboard.
Redbeard, what are your thoughts?
...
I agree.
What did he say?
He said he has no knee joints, so he thinks you would win too.
You know, I thought I was playing a crazy role in this movie but you got me beat.
You keep saying "acting" and "role" and "movie". What exactly do you mean by that?
Look kid, I'm an actor. My name is Johnny Depp and I'm not really a pirate!
That's not true. See? You're a pirate
Cut that out. It's completely obvious you're using Photoshop.
Oh yeah? How many illegal MP3's do you have?
What? None! I pay for my music!
And you call yourself a pirate! I have 120 terabytes of music. 121 if John Tesh counts as "music".
THATS my point! I'm not a pirate, kid. I just pretended to be one!
LIAR! I'll kill you! You are Jack Sparrow! He is the best pirate ever! I'll kill you!!!!!
Sorry, Mr. Depp. He is a little out there... Please don't sue us.
Your friend needs help.
Yes, he does. But at least he didn't bite you like he did to Orlando Bloom.
He bit me first! Redbeard was there! He saw it!
...
You traitor!
Thanks for your time, Mr. Depp. I loved you in 21 Jump Street.
You're welcome. It certainly has been... interesting.
