The POTC: Dead Man's Chest Interactive Script Homage to the creators, writers, and actors of The Pirates of the Caribbean Click here for a printer friendly version of the script (this will open a new window).

If you are unfamiliar with the script, we suggest that you bring small penlights to check the lines, while the movie is playing. Please, no big flashlights that will distract people. Suggested costumes: Pirate regalia, including boots, coats, sashes, bandanas and trinkets in your hair; townsfolk, blacksmith, wench, 18th Century naval officer, governor, maid, butler, dockmaster, guard. Suggested props....stuffed parrots, green apples, keys (for the jail cell), bones, gold crowns (the cardboard type that you can get for New Years Eve are good for this), gold coins, gold medallions, stuffed monkeys, ladies fans, compass. (We request that you do not bring any swords, knives or other weapons, as there are often children at these interactives and we don't want anyone to be injured! As well, most theaters would have a policy prohibiting weapons from being taken inside.)

Interactive Action Suggestions
These are actions that can be done throughout the movie, at the opportune moments.

EVERYTIME we hear the name JACK SPARROW or CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW...we have to stand and salute. Not just when Gibbs says "Jack". It has to be the whole name. Example: When Elizabeth and Will say "Captain! Captain Jack Sparrow!" We stand and salute.

Whenever anyone says "Lord Beckett," make hissing noises.

Hat theme interaction: to be done when scene changes from Pirates to British Navy. Change hats from pirate hat to British Navy Tricorn (for those not in full costume).

Fighting device to be used instead of swords: feathers.

Compass: when the compass appears, we hold up our own, turning it in different ways and pointing.

Hats on/off depending on what state of hattedness Captain Jack is in.

Int 38) When Tia asks who will go to the end of the Earth to bring back witty Jack and him precious Pearl, we all stand and shout a resounding, “AYE!!”    

You may want to yell some of these and others just say them.
For instance, when you are calling to Jack to watch out....,
it should be shouted, because you want him to "hear" you.
