![“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?” quote by Captain Jack Sparrow](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/845/captain-jack-sparrow-62817_fair_jack-sparrow-after-will-draws-his-sword_1007221.jpg)
