QWhy is Jack the monkey cursed again?

QWhat language are the fishermen speaking who find Jack's hat and are quickly devoured by the Kraken?
AOne of the fishermen is talking in Turkish, the other one is talking in Greek, albeit in the Greek-Cypriot dialect. The Greek-Cypriot fisherman is commanding the Turkish fisherman to hand him the hat. He then puts it on his head and says that he is a proper dandy. After the kraken makes its presence felt, the Greek-Cypriot fisherman says that he doesn't want the hat, and that the other fisherman should have it. The word the Greek-Cypriot fisherman uses for dandy is an anachronism, since the word "magkas" was introduced into Greek sometime in the 19th century (some sources claim earlier), but, nevertheless, back then it referred to a specific kind of social outcast; it therefore had a negative meaning. In the 20th century, the meaning of "magkas" kept changing with each generation, and it wasn't until the late 20th century that the word "magkas" was also used when referring to a dandy. Its other contemporary meaning is that of a fearless person.
QWhy was Jack in the prison at the beginning of the movie?
AJack went into the prison to find the drawing of the Key to the Dead Man's Chest. Little is known of the key other than what it opens. So, before Jack could search for it, he needed to know what it looks like.
