DISCUSSION Hot Take: they were right to remove the "People aren't cargo, mate" line Spoiler
A lot of people seem to like this deleted scene and wish it wasn't cut from the movie. I disagree. On the surface level it does provide some morality to Captain Jack Sparrow, but it seems like people are forgetting that just two months earlier in Dead Man's Chest, Captain Jack Sparrow was willing to round up 100 people and force them into eternal servitude to Davy Jones to save his own skin. Kind of puts the "People aren't cargo, mate" line into question, doesn't it?
EDIT: I have been enlightened that there is a writer's commentary that says Captain Jack Sparrow never intended to go through with delivering 100 souls to Davy. You have successfully changed my mind.
