《With Philip》
Philip, with the little strength he had left, approached the water of the springs to try to clean his wound on his abdomen. In less than a minute, Syrena rose to the surface, staying right in front of the missionary.

Syrena: You are hurt.
Philip: In body only. My mind is at peace... because of you.
Syrena: Me?
Philip: Yes. I was lost. The wind, the tides... they ought to renew a man's faith. But for me, only you.
Syrena: Philip, I can save you. You need only ask.
Philip: I seek but one thing.
Syrena: What is that?
Philip: Forgiveness. If not for me, you would never have been captured.
Syrena: (Whispering) Ask.
Philip: Forgive me?

Syrena kissed Philip and carried him to the bottom of the sea with her.

Jack had Angelica tied up and with Ruby's company they took her in a boat to the Island where Jack had twice been abandoned with a pistol with a single shot.

Jack: (To Ruby) I'm doing this for you, Apple Pie.
Angelica: (To Jack) I hate you.
Jack: The bloke who saved your life?
Angelica: The years I possess, stolen from my own father!
Jack: I only helped Blackbeard do what any father should have done.
Angelica: You are cruel and ignorant.
Jack: Do you really think that affects me coming from you? The only thing that matters to me right now, and that makes me feel at peace, is knowing that there is a place for me in Ruby's heart. I know I have her love.

《Arriving on the island》
Jack: One pistol, one shot. (Throws the pistol to the sand next to Angelica)
Angelica: To kill myself before I starve?
Jack: There's no trusting you, love.
Ruby: Besides, this is a well-traveled trade route. You can signal a passing ship. Or you can just bite the proverbial bullet, as it were.
Angelica: And how will I get free of these bonds?
Jack: You broke free of your bonds half an hour ago, waiting for the precise moment to pounce.

Angelica, freed, tried to attack Jack with a wooden stick, but Ruby, prepared, knowing the acts that her current partner's ex-lover would perform, was able to easily stop the attack by burning the stick.

Angelica: Admit it, Jack. You still love me.
Jack: If you had a sister and a dog, I'd choose the dog.
Ruby: (To Jack) What if I was the third option?
