History Heartwarming / PiratesOfTheCaribbeanOnStrangerTides

-->'''Jack:''' The Fountain ''does'' [[SadisticChoice test you, Gibbs.]] But better to ''not'' know which moment may be your last--every ''morsel'' of your being ''alive'' to the very mystery of it all. And who's to say I ''won't'' [[YouCannotKillAnIdea live forever, eh]]? ''[air quotes]'' "[[LivingLegend Discoverer of the Fountain of Youth!]]" I have no say in it, Gibbs... [[ArcWords it's a pirate's life for me.]] [[CatchPhrase Savvy?]]

* [[AntiVillain The Spaniard]] taking a moment to request one of his men make a note of [[spoiler: Lieutenant Graves']] bravery in claiming the Fountain for England in the face of an entire force of elite Spanish soldiers, even though the act was his last. A WorthyOpponent moment at its finest between two hostile powers.

-->'''Barbossa:''' ''[reveals a hidden stash of rum in his [[spoiler: peg leg]]]''\\

'''Barbossa:''' [[PetTheDog ''[immediately shares his rum]'']]

* The previous two films had showed Jack's interest in becoming immortal, hence why he was looking for the Fountain of Youth to begin with. But once Angelica tells him that the fountain requires the sacrifice of another life, Jack ''immediately'' comments that he's suddenly no longer as eager to make use of it.

--> '''Jack:''' Hello, [[spoiler:dad.]]

'''Barbossa:''' ''[immediately shares his rum]''

* The whole opening scene where Jack saved Gibbs from being hanged.
* Mr. Gibbs making Captain Jack Sparrow [[spoiler: admit to having ''feelings'' about Angelica and she wasn't just like any other girl in his past]].
** [[spoiler:The ending, which shows that despite their screwed up relationship, Jack and Angelica ''still'' love each other, and always will]].

--->'''Barbossa:''' *reveals a hidden stash of rum in his [[spoiler: peg leg]]*
--->'''Jack:''' [[PuppyDogEyes I want one of those.]]
--->'''Barbossa:''' *immediately shares his rum*
* After Barbossa admits to Jack that what he really wants is [[spoiler: revenge against Blackbeard for stealing the Black Pearl and costing Barbossa his leg]], Jack's response is a surprisingly heartfelt, "I'll see you get the chance, Mate." The heartwarming part comes when you realize that, while "Mate" is a [[TalkLikeAPirate fairly common pirate term]], he's using it here with the utmost sincerity to address his former ''first mate.''
** It's an acknowledgement that the two of them both loved the Black Pearl and Jack understands Barbossa's wish to avenge it.

* Gibbs ''waited'' for Jack. There was nothing to stop him from walking off with the sackful of [[spoiler:bottled ships]], not Captain's orders (there were none) and certainly not the Pirate's Code. ''He'' got that prize all on his lonesome, with a little help from the compass, and it's his by rights. "Take what you can, give nothing back..." But Gibbs ''waits''.

-->'''Gibbs:''' Jack, I have to ask...you had the chalices, the water, the tear...you could have lived, maybe forever!
-->'''Jack:''' The Fountain ''does'' [[SadisticChoice test you, Gibbs.]] But better to ''not'' know which moment may be your last--every ''morsel'' of your being ''alive'' to the very mystery of it all. And who's to say I ''won't'' [[YouCannotKillAnIdea live forever, eh]]? (''air quotes'') "[[LivingLegend Discoverer of the Fountain of Youth!]]" I have no say in it, Gibbs...[[ArcWords it's a pirate's life for me.]] [[CatchPhrase Savvy?]]

--> '''Jack:''' Hello, [[spoiler:dad.]]

The heartwarming part comes when you realize that, while "Mate" is a [[TalkLikeAPirate fairly common pirate term]], he's using it here with the utmost sincerity to address his former ''first mate.''

* Jack and Barbossa's relationship as a whole in this movie is pretty touching, considering that they went from hating each other in the first movie to an antagonistic rivalry in the third, but now that they finally have the same goal, the two seem more like old friends than rivals. It makes one wonder how things might have turned out if Barbossa hadn't mutinied back in the first movie.

* As Jack and Gibbs reflect on their adventure, our favorite LovableRogue has a surprisingly poignant and insightful commentary on the prospect of immortality, suggesting that he [[WhoWantsToLiveForever understands the heavy weight of eternal life]], particularly [[ImmortalityImmorality when it comes at a price]]:
