20. Dramatise the dialogue. How could the song they sing be translated into Russian?
Jack: [looks back at the Pearl] That’s the second time I’ve had to watch that man sail away with my ship.
Elizabeth: But you were marooned on this island before, weren’t you? So we can escape in the same way you did then.
Jack: To what point and purpose, young missy? The Black Pearl is gone and unless you have a rudder and a lot of sails hidden in that bodice unlikely - young Mr. Turner will be dead long before you can reach him. Elizabeth: But you’re Captain Jack Sparrow . You vanished from under the eyes of seven agents of the East India Company. You sacked Nassau Port without even firing a shot. Are you the pirate I’ve read about or not? How did you escape last time?
Jack: Last time Iwas herea grand total ofthreedays,allright?Last time[opens a secret cellar door] ?the rumrunners used this island as acache.Came by, and I was ableto barterapassage off. Fromthelooksofthings,they’ve longbeen out of business. Probably have your bloody friend Norrington to thank for that. [climbsoutwithtwobottlesofruminhishands]
Elizabeth: So that’s it then? That’s the secret grand adventure of the infamous Jack Sparrow? You spent three days lying on a beach, drinking rum?!
Jack: Welcome to the Caribbean , love. [hands her a bottle]
Elizabeth and Jack: [singing and dancing around a fire] We're devils and black sheep and really bad eggs. Drink up me 'earties yo ho! Yo ho, yo ho a pirate's life for me.
Jack: I love this song! Really bad eggs! Ooh. [falls] When I get the Pearl back, I’m gonna teach it to the whole crew, and we’ll sing it all the time! Elizabeth: And you’ll be positively the most fearsome pirate in the Spanish Main .
Jack: Not just the Spanish Main , love. The entire ocean. The entire world. Wherever we want to go, we’ll go. That’s what a ship is, you know. It’ not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails that's what a ship needs but what a ship is what the Black Pearl really is - is freedom.
Elizabeth: Jack, it must be really terrible for you to be trapped on this island.
Jack: Oh, yes. [puts his arm around her shoulder] But the companyis infinitely betterthanlasttime,Ithink.Thesceneryhasdefinitelyimproved.

Elizabeth: Mr. Sparrow? I’m not entirely sure that I’ve had enough rum to allow that kind of talk.
Jack: I know exactly what you mean, love. [curls his moustache] Elizabeth: [toasts] To freedom.
21. How did Jack and Elizabeth manage to escape from the island? Find if you were right, in the dialogue. Translate it into Russian.
Jack: To the Black Pearl [drinks and loses consciousness; wakes in the morning to the smell of smoke; sees the island burning and runs to Elizabeth]. No! Not good! Stop! Not good! What are you doing? You burned all the food, the shade! The rum!
Elizabeth: Yes, the rum is gone. Jack: Why is the rum gone?
Elizabeth: One, because it is a vile drink that turns even the most respectable men into complete scoundrels. Two, that signal is over a thousand feet high. The entire Royal Navy is out looking for me, do you really think that there is even the slightest chance that they won’t see it?
Jack: But why is the rum gone?
Elizabeth: [she sits to stare at the horizon] Just wait, Captain Sparrow. You give it one hour, maybe two, keep a weather eye out and then you will see white sails on that horizon.
Jack: [takes out pistol, thinks better of it and puts it back, stalks off, imitates Elizabeth Must’ve been terrible for you to be trapped here, Jack. Must’ve been terrible for you? Well it bloody is now! [Spots the Dauntless]. There’ll be no living with her after this.
