'''Murtogg''': Yeah, and no lies!
'''Jack Sparrow''': Well, then, I confess. It is my intention to commandeer one of these ships, pick up a crew in Tortuga, raid, pillage, plunder and otherwise pilfer my weaselly black guts out.
'''Murtogg''': I said "no lies!"
'''Mullroy''': I think he's telling the truth.
'''Murtogg''': If he was telling the truth, he wouldn't have told us.
'''Jack Sparrow''': Unless of course, he knew you wouldn't believe the truth even if he told it to you. }}
