Hernán Cortés
Pirates of the Caribbean: Jack Sparrow
Spoken by Hernán Cortés
- "With the Sword I will have godlike power, and with the stone eye, I will control the spirits, for they are contained in its confines. I will rule not only the Caribbean, but the Seven Seas!"
- ―Cortés to Jack Sparrow
Spoken about Hernán Cortés
- "This is the cursed sword that gave Cortés the power to conquer the Aztec empire! Legend has it that the sword made him unstoppable in battle....And it gave him strange powers, like convincing the Aztecs that he was a god."
- ―Arabella Smith
- "Jack, don't you realize what's just happened? The pirates' stories lacked a wee detail. The incantation ye read brought back the Sword's owner! This is the spirit of Hernán Cortés, risen from the dead!"
- ―Arabella Smith to Jack Sparrow
- "Now we know why he was a conquistador and not a school teacher in his former life."
- ―Jack Sparrow to Arabella Smith
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
Spoken about Cortés
- "This is Aztec gold. One of 882 identical pieces they delivered in a stone chest to Cortés himself. Blood money paid to stem the slaughter he wreaked upon them with his armies. But the greed of Cortés was insatiable. So the heathen gods placed upon the gold...a terrible curse."
- ―Hector Barbossa to Elizabeth Swann
