In DMC, Will is diffident in the arrest scene, partially because he knows something is up, and waiting for the opportune moment (he's learning), and partially because this is who he is now, specifically with regards to Elizabeth and their relationship. Will idealizes Elizabeth which results in him catering to her, which in turn, results in her taking him for granted. The one time he does exert himself in this scene, ("Lord Beckett, in the category of questions not answered..."), Elizabeth cuts him off.

While I don't like the last part for the character, I *really* enjoy how Bloom works with this and marks this scene as definitely separate and apart from how he handles Will in the rest of the movie.
