Dead Man’s Chest.
That’s an impressive collection of quotes BDD! The “Where’s your sense of adventure?” one definitely sounds familiar, but I don’t think it’s from Up. Hmm…
“How depressing. I get a gift and it’s a goodbye present.”
Gibbs: Let’s put some distance between us and this island, and head out to open sea.
Jack Sparrow: Yes to the first, yes to the second, but only insofar as we keep to the shallows as much as possible.
Gibbs: Uh, that seems a bit contradictory, Captain.
Jack Sparrow: I have every faith in your reconciliatory navigational skills, Master Gibbs, now where is that monkey? I want to shoot something.

Dead Man’s Chest
All I want for Christmas is a Blake Griffin dunk.
A little girl on youtube.
Bursar: This ship is haunted.
Bellamy: Is it now? ‘N’ you?
Quartermaster: The… female presence… amongst us, yes… all the men… they can feel it.
The ghost of a lady, widowed before her marriage, I figure it. Searching for her husband, lost at sea.
Sailor 1: A virgin, too, likely as not.
Sailor 2: And that bodes ill by all accounts.
Bursar: I say… that we throw the dress overboard, and we hope the spirit finds it.
Quartermaster: No! That - that will just anger the spirit, Sir. What we need to do is find out what the spirit needs, and then just get it back!
Bellamy: Enough! Enough! You’re a pair of superstitious goats and it’s got the best of you. Now this appears to be no more as we have a stowaway aboard. A young woman, by the look of it. I want you to search the ship and find 'er. Oh, and uh… she’s probably naked.

“Shakespeare lived in Windsor with his merry wives, and wrote tragedies, comedies, and errors”
-A joke my professor made.
“Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?”
Will Turner: Why is Jack afraid of the open ocean?
Gibbs: Well, if you believe such things, there’s a beast does the bidding of Davy Jones. A fearsome creature with giant tentacles that suction your face clean off. And drag an entire ship past the crushing darkness… The Kraken! They say the stench of its breath is like… ooh! Imagine: The last thing you know on God’s green earth is the roar of the Kraken, and the reeking odor of a thousand rotting corpses. If you believe such things.
