~ Fool of a Captain ~
“Jack Sparrow is dead!” Jones asserted, with relish.
“Is he?” Beckett raised an eyebrow. “You know, he’s damnably hard to kill. Do you have some evidence? His head, perhaps? Or some other bit I’d recognize?”
Jones seethed, though that would avail him nothing, thanks to Norrington. “The Black Pearl’s gone to the depths, and its fool of a captain with it!”
“Hmmm. And yet… the ship’s been raised before. By you.”
“For a price! We had a bargain. But no one escapes the Locker!”
Beckett laughed. “No one? And a bargain?” He shook his head. “Fool of a captain, indeed.”

So many people seem to underestimate Jack, but *we* all know he's no fool! :)
