Will Turner is a central character in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series, portrayed by British actor Orlando Bloom. One of the defining aspects of his character is the curse he becomes caught up in during the first film, The Curse of the Black Pearl. The curse is placed on the crew of the Black Pearl, a cursed pirate ship that is commanded by the villainous Captain Barbossa. The curse is the result of the crew stealing cursed Aztec gold, and as a consequence, they are condemned to an existence as immortal undead beings. Will Turner's connection to the curse comes through his father, Bootstrap Bill Turner, who was a member of the Black Pearl crew. Will becomes entangled in the pirate world when he discovers his father's fate and seeks to rescue him.

Orlando Bloom: Will Turner
Will Turner : Where's Elizabeth? Jack Sparrow : She's safe, just like I promised. She's all set to marry Norrington, just like she promised. And you get to die for her, just like you promised. So we're all men of our word really. except for, of course, Elizabeth, who is in fact, a woman.
Will Turner : This is either madness. or brilliance. Jack Sparrow : It's remarkable how often those two traits coincide.
Will Turner : That's not true. I am not obsessed with treasure. Jack Sparrow : Not all treasure is silver and gold, mate.
Will Turner : You cheated. Jack Sparrow : Pirate.Jack Sparrow : [looking at all the swords] Who makes all these? Will Turner : I do. And I practice with them three hours a day. Jack Sparrow : You need to find yourself a girl, mate. Or perhaps the reason you practice three hours a day is that you already found one, and are otherwise incapable of wooing said strumpet. You're not a eunuch are you? Will Turner : I practice three hours a day, so when I meet a pirate, I can kill it.
Jack Sparrow : One question about your business, boy, or there's no use going: This girl. how far are you willing to go to save her? Will Turner : I'd die for her. Jack Sparrow : Oh good. No worries then.
Elizabeth : Will, how many times must I ask you to call me Elizabeth? Will Turner : At least once more, Miss Swann, as always.
Jack Sparrow : [after Will draws his sword] Put it away, son. It's not worth you getting beat again. Will Turner : You didn't beat me. You ignored the rules of engagement. In a fair fight, I'd kill you. Jack Sparrow : That's not much incentive for me to fight fair, then, is it?
Jack Sparrow : Anamaria. [Anamaria slaps Jack] Will Turner : I suppose, you didn't deserve that one either? Jack Sparrow : No, that one I deserved. Anamaria : You stole my boat! Jack Sparrow : Actually. Anamaria : [Anamaria slaps Jack again] Jack Sparrow : Borrowed. borrowed without permission, but with every intention of bringing it back. Anamaria : But you didn't! Jack Sparrow : You'll get another one. Anamaria : I will. Will Turner : A better one. Jack Sparrow : A better one. Will Turner : That one. Jack Sparrow : What one? Will Turner : [Will looks at the Interceptor] Jack Sparrow : That one? Aye, that one. What say you to that? The Crew : Aye! Mr. Gibbs : No, it's frightful bad luck to have a woman aboard. Jack Sparrow : It would be far worse not to have her.
[Jack throws a bucket of water on sleeping Gibbs] Mr. Gibbs : Curse you for breathin' ya slack-jawed idiot. Mother's love. Jack. You should know better than to wake a man when he's sleepin'. Its bad luck. Jack Sparrow : Fortunately, I know how to counter it; the man who did the waking buys the man who was sleeping a drink; the man who was sleeping drinks it while listening to a proposition from the man who did the waking. Mr. Gibbs : Aye, that'll about do it. [Will throws more water on Mr. Gibbs] Mr. Gibbs : Blast! I'm already awake! Will Turner : That was for the smell.
Elizabeth : Whose side is Jack on? Will Turner : At the moment?Barbossa : Ten years you carry that pistol and now you waste your shot. Will Turner : He didn't waste it.
[shouting during severe storm] Will Turner : How can we sail to an island that nobody can find with a compass that doesn't work? Mr. Gibbs : Aye, the compass doesn't point North. But we're not trying to find North, are we?
Will Turner : We're going to steal a ship? That ship? Jack Sparrow : Commandeer. We're going to commandeer that ship. Nautical term.
Will Turner : She goes free. [points pistol at Barbossa] Barbossa : What's in your head, boy? Will Turner : She goes free! Barbossa : You've only got one shot, and we can't die. Jack Sparrow : [whispered to Will] Don't do anything stupid. Will Turner : You can't. I can. [points gun at himself] Jack Sparrow : Like that. Barbossa : Who are you? Jack Sparrow : [to Barbossa] No one. He's no one. A distant cousin of my aunt's nephew twice removed. Lovely singing voice, though - eunuch. Will Turner : My name is Will Turner. My father was Bootstrap Bill Turner. His blood runs in my veins. Ragetti : He's the spitting image of ol' Bootstrap Bill come back to haunt us. Will Turner : On my word do as I say, or I'll pull this trigger and be lost to Davy Jones' Locker. Barbossa : Name your terms, Mr. Turner. Will Turner : Elizabeth goes free. Barbossa : Yes, we know that one. Anything else? Jack Sparrow : [points at himself] Me! Will Turner : And the crew - the crew are not to be harmed.
Jack Sparrow : Move away. Will Turner : No. Jack Sparrow : Please move? Will Turner : No. I cannot just step aside and let you escape. Jack Sparrow : This shot was not meant for you.
[to Elizabeth] Jack Sparrow : Where's the medallion? Elizabeth : Wretch. [attempts to slap him] Jack Sparrow : [grabs her wrist] Ah, where is dear William? Elizabeth : Will. Will Turner : Elizabeth. Jack Sparrow : Monkey!
Will Turner : Barbossa, you lying bastard! You swore she'd go free! Barbossa : Don't dare impugn me honor, boy! I agreed she go free, but it was you who failed to specify when or where. Though it does seem a shame to lose somethin' so fine, don't it, lads? The Crew : Aye. Barbossa : So I'll be havin' that dress back before ye go. Jack Sparrow : I always liked you. Bo'sun : Grr. Elizabeth : Goes with your black heart. Barbossa : Ooh, it's still warm. The Crew : Off you go! Come on! Get on with it! Bo'sun : Too long! Jack Sparrow : I really rather hoped we were past all this. Barbossa : Jack. Jack! Did you not notice? That be the same island we made you the governor of on our last little trip. Jack Sparrow : I did notice. Barbossa : Perhaps you'll conjure up another miraculous escape, but I doubt it. Off you go. Jack Sparrow : The last time you left me a pistol with one shot. Barbossa : By the powers, you're right. Where be Jack's pistol? Bring it forward. Jack Sparrow : Seeing as there's two of us, a gentleman would give us a pair of pistols. Barbossa : It'll be one pistol as before, and you can be the gentleman and shoot the lady; and starve to death yourself.
Grapple : Say goodbye. [a sign swings down and hits Grapple through a shop window] Will Turner : Goodbye.
[after inspecting the crew] Jack Sparrow : Satisfied? Will Turner : Well you proved they're mad.Will Turner : It's not your blood they needed. It was my father's blood. My blood. the blood of a pirate.
Will Turner : Elizabeth, I should have told you every day from the moment I met you. I love you.Will Turner : She goes free. Barbossa : What's in your head, boy? Will Turner : She goes free. Barbossa : You've only got one shot and we can't die. Jack Sparrow : Don't do anything stupid. Will Turner : You can't. [points gun at his own throat] Will Turner : I can. Jack Sparrow : Like that.
Jack Sparrow : You seem somewhat familiar. Have I threatened you before? Will Turner : I make a point of avoiding familiarity with pirates.
Will Turner : You knew my father. Pintel : Old Bootstrap Bill? Aye, we knew 'im. Never sat well with ol' Bootstrap, what we did to Sparrow and all. That's why he sent a piece of the treasure off to you, as it were. He said that we deserved to be cursed. and remain cursed. A' course, that didnt sit too well with the captain. Ragetti : No, that didn't sit to well with the cap'n at all. Tell 'im what Barbossa did. Pintel : [angry] I'm telling the story. So, what Barbossa did is, he tied a cannon to Bootstrap's bootstraps. Ragetti : [snickering quietly] Bootstrap's bootstraps. Pintel : And the last we saw of ol' Bill Turner, he was sinkin' into the crushing black oblivion of Davy Jones' Locker. Course, it was only after that we learned we needed his blood to lift the curse. Ragetti : Now that's what you'd call ironic. Ragetti : [Ragetti and Pintel laugh]
Mr. Gibbs : Then, on the fourth day, he roped himself a couple of sea turtles, lashed 'em together and made a raft. Will Turner : He roped a couple of sea turtles. Mr. Gibbs : Aye. Sea turtles. Will Turner : What did he use for rope? Jack Sparrow : [from beside them] Human hair. [pause] Jack Sparrow : From my back.
Will Turner : [arriving back at the workshop, his boss is still fast asleep] Right where I left you. [notices a hammer on the anvil] Will Turner : Not where I left *you*.
Elizabeth : I had a dream about you last night. Will Turner : About me? Governor Swann : Elizabeth, is that entirely proper for you to c. Elizabeth : About the day we met. Do you remember?
Elizabeth : Lower the anchor on the right side. Anamaria : [looks stunned] Elizabeth : On the starboard side! Will Turner : It has the element of surprise. Anamaria : You're daft lady. You both are! Mr. Gibbs : Daft like Jack. [turns to the crew] Mr. Gibbs : Lower the starboard anchor! [crew looks reluctant] Mr. Gibbs : Do it you gobs! Or it's you we'll load into the cannons.
Norrington : You forget your place, Turner. Will Turner : It's right here. Between you and Jack. Elizabeth : As is mine. Governor Swann : Elizabeth. Lower your weapons. For goodness sake, put them down. Norrington : So, this is where your heart truly lies, then? Elizabeth : It is.
Will Turner : I can get you out of here Jack Sparrow : How's that. the key's run off.Jack Sparrow : What's your name? Will Turner : Will Turner. Jack Sparrow : That would be short for William, I imagine. Good strong name, no doubt named for your father, eh? Will Turner : Yes. Jack Sparrow : Well Mr. Turner, I've changed me mind. If you spring me from this cell, I swear on pain of death, I shall take you to the Black Pearl and your bonnie lass. Do we have an accord? [puts out his hand] Will Turner : Agreed. [they shake hands] Jack Sparrow : Now, get me out of here! [Will grabs chair and uses it to lift up the cell door and it crashes to floor] Will Turner : Quick! Some would've heard that. Jack Sparrow : Not without my effects.
[as they are attempting to commandeer the Interceptor] Jack Sparrow : Don't be alarmed, we're taking over the ship. Will Turner : [lunges with his sword] AYE! AVAST! [Jack stares at him as all the British sailors burst out laughing]
[after breaking Jack out of jail] Will Turner : Hurry, someone would have heard that. Jack Sparrow : Not without my effects.
Governor Swann : Do pass my compliments on to your master. Will Turner : I shall. [pauses] Will Turner : A craftsman is always proud to hear his work is appreciated.
Will Turner : My name is Will Turner, my father was Bootstrap Bill Turner. His blood runs in my veins. Ragetti : Why, it's the spittin' image of our Bootstrap Bill, come back to haunt us. Will Turner : On my word, do as I say, or I'll pull this trigger and be lost to Davy Jones's locker.
Barbossa : [after Jack show up alive after leaving him on the island a second time] Its not possible Jack Sparrow : Not Probable Will Turner : Jack. Where's Elizabeth? Jack Sparrow : She's safe, just like I promised. She's all set to marry Norrington, just like she promised. And you get to die for it just like you promised. Jack Sparrow : [pauses and thinks] So we are all men of our word really. Except for Elizabeth who is in fact a woman.
Jack Sparrow : You think this wise, boy. crossing blades with a pirate? Will Turner : You threatened Miss Swann. Jack Sparrow : Only a little.
Will Turner : Jack! Barbossa : It's not possible. Jack Sparrow : Not Probable.Will Turner : [1:02:12] I suppose you didn't deserve that one, either. Jack Sparrow : No, that one I deserved Anamaria : You stole my boat!
