[Barbossa fiddles with his pegleg and and removes it]
Jack Sparrow : Oh! A knife?
Barbossa : Better!
[Reveals his pegleg is a flask and takes a drink]
Jack Sparrow : I want one of those.

Barbossa : [to Jack, about how he lost the battle against Blackbeard] Taken, not lost. We were off the coast of Hispanola when we came under attack. No provocation, nor warning or offer of parley. We were peppered with cannon fire. And then the sea beneath the Pearl began to roil. The Pearl was pitching and yawing so violently and every rail and spar all at once began to creak - the rigging had come to life! Our own ship turned against us. Tangling the crew, wrapping them like snakes... and wrapping around my leg! But my arms were free and my sword was still in my hand. I am the master of my ship, not Blackbeard. I am the master of my fate, not Blackbeard! So I did what needed done... I survived.

Barbossa : [at St. James Palace in London] Jack, our sands be all but run. Where's the harm in joining the winning sides?
Jack Sparrow : I understand everything... except that wig.
-
Barbossa : [in Ponce de Leon's ship] If forty pirates dreamt forty nights of treasure, it would not match the contents of this room.

Barbossa : Don't touch the map.
Jack Sparrow : Oh.

Jack Sparrow : What has become of my Pearl?
Barbossa : I lost the Pearl the same attack I lost my leg.
[an enraged Jack has to be restrained by guards]
Jack Sparrow : If that ship be sunk properly, then its Captain should be sunk with it!
-
Barbossa : Hands aloft and bear away! Stable ahead to White Cap Bay!

Barbossa : Be we on the proper course, Gibbs?
Gibbs : Aye, we be proper. There's your proof.
[Barbossa sees Spanish ships, and prepares the ship for battle. Nothing happens, however]
Gibbs : He never so much as turned his head.
Barbossa : The Fountain is the prize... it appears we be not even worth the time to take to sink. And now we've fallen behind!
-
Barbossa : [stabs Blackbeard] For the Pearl!
-
Barbossa : [to his crew] Gentlemen, I will not ask more of any man than what that man can do. But I will ask this: are we not king's men?
-
Barbossa : [to his crew] You can sleep when you're dead!
-
Barbossa : [ignoring the mermaids attacking the far away Providence] We travel by foot! Gibbs, I require a heading.
Groves : Sir. The men!
Barbossa : They be dead already.
Groves : [scornfully] They don't sound dead.
Barbossa : [cocks pistol at Groves] Oh, is that so? Well, I hear nothing but seagulls, nesting. What is it that you hear, Mr. Groves?
Groves : [hesitantly] Seaguls... nesting. Nothing more.
Barbossa : [turns away] Heading, Gibbs?
