Bootstrap Bill: It was always in my blood to die at sea, but it was not a fate I ever wanted for you.

Will Turner: It was not a fate you had to choose for yourself, either.

Bootstrap Bill: I could say I did what I had to when I left you to go pirating, but it would taste a lie to say it wasn't what I wanted. You owe me nothing.

Will Turner: They'll know you helped me.

Bootstrap Bill: [laughs cynically] What more can they do to me?

Will Turner: This is a promise. I'll find a way to sever Jones' hold on you, and not rest until my blade pierces his heat. I will not abandon you. I promise.
