“It’s sort of like ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’; the rules are more like guidelines”

In a story on the IMF at CNBC, one has the text:

“It’s sort of like ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’; the rules are more like guidelines,” said Carmen M. Reinhart, a prominent female economist who served as the I.M.F.’s deputy director for research from 2001 to 2003. “That sets the stage, I think, for more risk-taking.”


In At World's End, Captain Teague, the Keeper of the Pirate Code, the "Pirata Codex," said "The code is the law!" In the film, when the first mate of the Pirate Lord of India says to "Hang the code" Teague immediately shoots him.

Separately, in World's End, Jack Sparrow said:

Can we, in fact, pretend that she is anything other than a woman scorned, like which fury Hell hath no? We cannot. Res ipsa loquitur, tabula in naufragio, we are left with but one option. I agree with, and I cannot believe the words are coming out of me mouth... Captain Swann. We must fight.
