Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End question -?

Question

Why did the guy with the white hair on the flying dutchman not request his soldiers to fire at the two ships? Why did he keep repeating, " Its just good business"?

Answer 1

First of all the guy with the white hair has a name (Lord Beckett) and he kept saying that line because it was apart of the script.

Answer 2

It was good business for the movie to end promptly, lest it lose the last 3 people watching it in the theater

Answer 3

Well besides agreeing with Vader.... Assuming it was real.... He was just in shock and couldn't believe it was happening, he assumed his men were in control of the Dutchman

Answer 4

Because he memorized the script.

Answer 5

Whoaaa ! Chill out ... is like the other guy said .. he wasnt expecting both ships to attack since he had "control" of the Dutchman .. remember ? So he was in total SHOCK thats why the other two soldiers were like "abandon ship" or something like that 'cause they noticed that he wasn't himself and went into shock and wasn't even reacting ... jejejeje

Anyways .. hope this helps      =o)
