Jack Sparrow: I’m terribly sorry. I didn’t know. If I see one I shall inform you immediately. There’s some sort of high-toned and fancy to-do up at the fort. How could it be 2 upstanding gentlemen such as yourselves did not merit an invitation? Someone has to be sure this dock stays off limits. It’s a fine goal, to be sure. But it seems to me that a ship like that makes this one here a bit superfluous, really.
