(no subject)

I've heard lots of theories about what POTC3 was supposed to be about: honor, love, choosing sides, making your own way ... but I think I've figured it out for *reals*.

It's actually about having to stand in line too long at Disney World.

And if I had the movie footage right now, I'd do the vid. But since I don't,

Musical intro
Teague plays guitar, as
The Pirate Lords of all the seas sit around a table in counsel,
 and quickly fall to squabbling. Cap'n Barbossa stands on the table
 and fires a gun to bring them to order.

It's a world of laughter, a word of tears
Davy Jones at his          / Barbossa at the
organ                      / helm of the Pearl

It's a world of hopes and a world of fears
Will and Elizabeth on the / Jack with the chest
junk, not talking 

There's so much that we share that it's time we're aware
All four of them with pistols out, and aimed, and failing

It's a small world after all
The Junk falls over the edge of the world.

Music, intrumental
Barbossa holds up the charts to find the center missing.
The British Navy war room. Beckett's hand comes down over the piece of eight.

It's a small world after all, it's a small world after all
It's a small world after all, it's a small, small world.
The pirate prisoners march to the gallows. They sing.

Music, instrumental
Three-way fighting at Sao Feng's.
The Lords drop their pieces of eight in the plate.
Tia Dalma collapses into crabs.
Endless vista of rock crabs in the Locker.

There is just one moon and one golden sun
East India Company flag   / Dutchman's crew advance
furls against the sky     / on Will

And a smile means friendship to everyone
Norrington in  / Jack in          / Governor Swann
Beckett's office/Beckett's office / signing execution orders

Though the mountains divide and the oceans are wide
Freezing in the straights of   / the Pearl's crew find
the World's End                / Sao Feng's man in the poisoned spring

It's a small world after all
The Dutchman goes down in the maelstrom.

It's a small world after all, it's a small world after all
Elizabeth stands alone on the beach / Sao Feng gets stabbed

it's a small world after all, it's a small, small world
Jack gets stabbed on the deck of/ Norrington / Will / Davy
the Black Pearl                 / gets       /gets  / gets
                                / stabbed    /stabbed/stabbed

Music suddenly cuts out, to:
Jack saying "It's not the world that's smaller, it's that there's less in it."


See, now it's stuck in your head, too! Here's the mp3 I was using.

Killing?

...do I get to come back?

I would love to meet up. But I have got exactly 0 accomplished today. And I should. Hmmm.

then i offer you a chance to get something done---bring your books and your cards and we'll conquer the major arcana.

my intestines aren't happy (i'm never buying strawberries from that guy on the corner again), so i'm looking for a nice near-to-a bathroom-type activity. AND aunt chickened out on that whole 'NO A/C' B/c we can't afford it thing the instant her grandbaby came over and looked toasty. :P

so... come. sit in the cool and let's give you a reason to finally unpack that backpack of yours.

Dude, the "smile means friendship" bit needs to have Will and Davy taking tea in Beckett's office! And the infinite starry sea should be in there somewhere! ( ... okay, will not start plotting out a vid to the Star Trek theme.)

But seriously, we need to get you some footage, stat.

You're right - switch out the "jack" in that line for "Will and Davy". Ysss.

(... there is a torrent out there somewhere, but I'm *not* going to get started on torrents just so I can vid "It's a small world". And make an "I HAS A BUCKET" icon. Nope.)

Do you have an MP3 of that with words? That would be ... AWEsome.

Fortunately, I do NOT have an mp3 with words!
