"alright how many of you are gonna pop in me 'ead this time? i was expecting Tortuga but still...not bad" said James. Jack looked at him and said "Oi! 'who're you?!". James said "Well, me thinks you should be answering that question". Jack said "Whose me?". James said "Exactly, Mate, exactly.who're you?". Jack opened his mouth to say something, holding a finger up infront of him, and then frowned. "I'm Captain Jack Sparrow, mate. now...who're you?" James said "Is it really important to know someone you you might not have known otherwise unless you knew who you had left with your brother all those years ago?". Jack stepped back, surprised. "Nah....can't be...you're a hallucinination...thing. you're not real". James said "That's what i thought...until i heard you talk. didn't know you until now. my own father...Jack Sparrow". "CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow" said Jack grumpily. "And how can i know you're real? i've been seeing dozens of meself eversince i got to this damned place!". James said "Well, think of it this way: who did you leave at youre brother's home on Quebradas Costillas?". Jack said "uuuh....ummm....my son". James said "Exactly. and did you SEE your son 17 years later?". Jack said "Uuuum...nope". James said "Therefore, how could i possibly be an illusion when you never saw the person the illusion is of?". the whole time Ragetti was snickering away. "I dunno wot eyether of them're tolkin' about, bu' i's 'ilarious!". Pintel just nudged him in the ribs, trying to shut him up, but no use. Jack thought for a while, and finally said "ah...what about the others, mate? how can i be sure they aren't illillusions, ey?". James said "Well, we dont share the same head, and therefore, dont see the same illusions. i see them right there. what about you?". Jack stared at them, and said "Yep, that's where they are". James said "Right then, so we've established that they aren't illusions. now...what're you lot doing 'ere?"...
"Ah yes, organised chaos. the sign of a clever but ever-busy mind. To the perpetrator, a carefully woven web of belongings and intrigue, but to the bystander? Madness!"
