"Gillette. Mr. Sparrow has a dawn appointment with the gallows. I would hate for him to miss it," could creatively also mean "don't let the redcoats go off and shoot him." except whatever, the redcoats wouldn't shoot him, but there gets to be a point where, even with Sparrington, you're scraping the barrel for subtext.
