Titanic

Cal Hockley:
God, not those finger paintings again. They certainly were a waste of money.

Rose:
The difference between Cal's taste in art and mine is that I have some. They're fascinating. It's like being inside a dream or something. There's truth but no logic.

Fabrizio:
I can see the Statue of Liberty already!... Very small, of course.

Molly Brown:
You shine up like a new penny.

Rose:
I am not a foreman in one of your mills that you can command. I am your fiancee.

Cal Hockley:
My fian... my fiancee! Yes you are and my wife.My wife in practice if not yet by law so you will honor me. You will honor me the way a wife is required to honor a husband. Because I will not be made a fool rose. Is this in any way unclear?

Rose:
No.

Jack:
That's the one good thing about Paris: there's a lot of girls willing to take their clothes off.

Jack:
God! Look at that thing! You would've gone straight to the bottom.

Jack:
Which is why I'm not really looking forward to jumping in there after you. But like I said, I don't have a choice. I guess I'm kinda hoping you'll come back over the rail and get me off the hook here.

Rose:
You're crazy!

Jack:
That's what everybody says, but with all due respect miss, I'm not the one hanging off the back of a ship here.

Jack:
Don't do it!

Rose:
Stay back! Don't come any closer!

Jack:
Come on, just give me your hand. I'll pull you back over.

Rose:
No, stay where you are! I mean it! I'll let go!

Jack:
No, you won't.

Rose:
What do you mean, "No I won't"? Don't presume to tell me what I will and will not do, you don't know me!

Jack:
Well, you would've done it already.

Rose:
You're distracting me! Go away!

Jack:
I can't. I'm involved now. If you let go, I'm gonna have to jump in there after you.

Rose:
Don't be absurd. You'd be killed! The fall alone would kill you.

Jack:
It would hurt. I'm not saying it wouldn't. To tell you the truth I'm a lot more concerned about that water being so cold.

Rose:
How cold?

Jack:
Freezing. Maybe a couple degrees over. You ever been to Wisconsin? They have some of the coldest winters around. I grew up there, near Chippewa Falls. Me and my dad would go ice fishing. Ice fishing is where you...

Rose:
I know what ice fishing is!

Jack:
Sorry. You just seemed like kind of an indoor girl. Anyway, I fell through some thin ice and I'm telling ya, water that cold, like right down there, it hits you like a thousand knives stabbing you all over your body. You can't breathe. You can't think. At least not about anything but the pain. Which is why I'm not looking' forward to jumping in there after you. But like I said, I don't have a choice. I guess I'm kinda hoping you'll come back over the railing and get me off the hook.

Rose:
You're crazy...

Jack:
That's what everybody says. But with all due respect miss, I'm not the one hanging over the back of a ship here. Give me your hand. You don't want to do this. I'm Jack Dawson.

Rose:
Rose De Witt Bukater.

Jack:
I'm gonna have to get you to write that down.

Rose:
I don't know this dance!

Jack:
Neither do I! Just go with it!

Rose:
It's so unfair.

Ruth:
Of course it's unfair. We're women. Our choices are never easy.

Jack:
You want to walk a little faster through that valley there?

Rose:
I don't see what all of the fuss is about. It doesn't look any bigger than the Mauritania.

Cal Hockley:
You can be blasé about some things, Rose, but not about Titanic. It's over a hundred feet longer than the Mauritania and far more luxurious.

Jack:
I love waking up in the morning not knowing where I'm gonna go or who I'm gonna meet. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge, and now here I am, on the grandest ship in the world, having champagne with you fine people.

Rose:
The last thing I need is another picture of me looking like a porcelain doll.

Jack:
I'm the king of the world!

Jack:
We are the luckiest sons of b*tches in the world, you know that?

Ismay:
So you've not lit the last four boilers then?

Smith:
No, I do not see the need. We are making excellent time.

Ismay:
The press knows the size of Titanic, now I want them to marvel at her speed, too. We must give them something new to print. And the maiden voyage of Titanic must make headlines!

Ruth:
So this is the ship they say is unsinkable.

Cal Hockley:
It is unsinkable. God himself could not sink this ship.

Rose:
Teach me to ride like a man.

Jack:
And chew tobacco like a man.

Rose:
And spit like a man!

Jack:
What, they didn't teach you that in finishing school?

Cal Hockley:
Where are you going? To him? To be a whore to a gutter rat?

Rose:
I'd rather be his whore than your wife.

Jack:
This is crazy.

Rose:
I know. It doesn't make any sense. That's why I trust it.

Rose:
I believe you are blushing, Mr. Big Artiste. I can't imagine Monsieur Monet blushing.

Jack:
He does landscapes.

Ruth:
Tell us of the accommodations in steerage, Mr. Dawson. I hear they are quite good on this ship.

Jack:
The best I've seen, ma'am. Hardly any rats.

Jack:
Wait, just let me try and get this out. Rose you're...

Jack:
I'm not an idiot. I know how the world works. I've got ten bucks in my pocket, I have nothing to offer you and I know that. But I'm too involved now. You jump, I jump, remember? I can't turn away without knowing you'll be all right.

Rose:
Well, I'm fine. I'll be fine. Really.

Jack:
Really? I don't think so. They've got you trapped Rose and you're gonna die if you don't break free. Maybe not right away because you're strong, but soon, that fire that I love much about you Rose, that fire's going to burn out.

Rose:
It's not up to you to save me Jack.

Jack:
I know, only you can do that.

Benjamin Guggenheim:
No thank you. We are dressed in our best and are prepared to go down as gentlemen. But, We would like a brandy.

Tommy Ryan:
Music to drown by. Now I know I'm in first class.

Thomas Andrews:
The pumps will buy you time, but minutes only. From this moment on, no matter what we do, Titanic will founder.

Ismay:
But this ship can't sink!

Thomas Andrews:
She is made of iron, sir. I assure you, she can. And she *will*. It is a mathematical certainty.

Tommy Ryan:
That's typical. First class dogs come down here to take a sh*t.

Jack:
That's so we know where we rank in the scheme of things.

Tommy Ryan:
Like we could forget.

Ruth:
Will the lifeboats be seated according to class? I hope they aren't too crowded.

Rose:
Oh mother, shut up! Don't you understand? The water is freezing and there aren't enough boats. Not enough by half. Half the people on this ship are going to die.

Cal Hockley:
Not the better half.

Molly Brown:
Come on Ruth, first-class seats are right up here.

Cal Hockley:
You know, it's a pity I didn't keep that drawing. It'll be worth a lot more by morning.

Rose:
You unimaginable bastard!

Cal Hockley:
You're a good liar.

Jack:
Almost as good as you.

Old Rose:
I saw my whole life as if I had already lived it. An endless parade of parties and cotillions, yachts and polo matches. Always the same narrow people, the same mindless chatter. I felt like I was standing at a great precipice, with no one to pull me back, no one who cared... or even noticed.

Rose:
I know what you must be thinking. "Poor little rich girl, what does she know about misery?"

Jack:
No, no, that's not what I was thinking. What I was thinking was, what could've happened to this girl to make her feel she had no way out?

Rose:
J.J., Madeline, This is Jack Dawson.

Astor:
Hello Jack. Are you of the Boston Dawsons?

Jack:
No, the, uh, Chippewa Falls Dawsons, actually.

Astor:
Oh yes...

Rose:
I love you Jack.

Jack:
Don't you do that, don't say your good-byes.

Rose:
I'm so cold.

Jack:
Listen Rose. You're gonna get out of here, you're gonna go on and make lots of babies, and your gonna watch them grow. You're gonna die an old... an old lady warm in her bed, but not here not this night. Not like this do you understand me?

Rose:
I can't feel my body.

Jack:
Winning that ticket, Rose, was the best thing that ever happened to me... it brought me to you. And I'm thankful for that, Rose. I'm thankful. You must do me this honor, Rose. Promise me you'll survive. That you won't give up, no matter what happens, no matter how hopeless. Promise me now, Rose, and never let go of that promise.

Rose:
I promise.

Jack:
Never let go.

Rose:
I'll never let go. I'll never let go, Jack.

Jack:
I don't know about you, but I intend on writing a strongly worded letter to the White Star Line about all of this.

Old Rose:
This was mine. How extraordinary! And it looks the same as when I last used it... The reflection's changed a bit.

Old Rose:
It's been 84 years, and I can still smell the fresh paint. The china had never been used. The sheets had never been slept in. Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams, and it was. It really was.

Old Rose:
Afterward, the seven hundred people in the boats had nothing to do but wait: wait to die, wait to live, wait for an absolution which would never come.

Old Rose:
A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets. But now you all know there was a man named Jack Dawson, and that he saved me, in every way that a person can be saved.

Tommy Ryan:
Ah, forget it, boyle. It is like if angels fly out of your arse as get next to the likes of her.

Brock Lovett:
Three years I've thought of nothing except Titanic, but I never got it, I never let it in.

Lewis Bodine:
Incredible. There's Smith and he's standing there and he's got the iceberg warning in his f***ing hand, excuse me, in his hand, and he's ordering MORE SPEED.

Brock Lovett:
26 years of experience working against him. He figures anything big enough to sink the ship they're gonna see in time to turn. The ship's too big with too small a rudder. It doesn't corner worth a damn. Everything he knows is wrong.

Thomas Andrews:
I'm sorry I didn't build you a stronger ship, young Rose.

Rose:
Mr. Andrews! I saw the iceberg, and I see it in your eyes... please, tell me the truth!

Thomas Andrews:
The ship will sink.

Rose:
Are you certain?

Thomas Andrews:
Yes, In an hour or so, all of this will be at the bottom of the Atlantic.

Rose:
Excuse me, Mr. Andrews, but I've been doing the math in my head and it seems that with the number of people there are on board, there aren't enough lifeboats.

Thomas Andrews:
Not enough by half actually. Gosh, Rose, you miss nothing do you? I had originally intended for there to be more, but it was thought by some that it would make the decks seem too cluttered.

Cal Hockley:
A waste of space as it is on an unsinkable ship.

Jack:
Are these all for me?

Molly Brown:
Just start from the outside and work your way in.

Rose:
Hello Jack. I've changed my mind. They said you might be out here.

Jack:
Shhh. Give me your hand. Now close your eyes. Go on, step up. Now hold on to the railing. Keep your eyes closed. Don't peek.

Rose:
I'm not.

Jack:
Step up on the railing. Hold on, hold on. Keep your eyes closed. Do you trust me?

Rose:
I trust you.

Jack:
All right. Open your arms!

Rose:
I'm flying, Jack!

Jack:
Come, Josephine, my flying machine, going up, she goes up, she goes.

Thomas Andrews:
Sleep soundly young Rose for I have built you a good ship, strong and true, it has all the lifeboats you need.

Old Rose:
I don't even have a picture of him. He exists now only in my memory.

Molly Brown:
There's plenty of room for more.

Robert Hitchins:
Yes, and there will be one less on this boat if you don't shut that hole in your face

Lookout Frederick Fleet:
Iceberg right ahead!

Smith:
How many on board, Mr. Murdoch?

Murdoch:
2,200 souls on board, sir.

Smith:
Well, I believe you may get your headlines, Mr. Ismay.

Jack:
This is bad!

Jack:
I saw that in a nickelodeon once and I've always wanted to do it.

Fifth Officer Lowe:
Is there anyone alive out there? Can anyone hear me?

Jack:
Wait, wait, wait! Take a couple practice swings over there.

Jack:
Good! Now try and hit the same mark again.

Jack:
Okay, that's enough practice.

Rose:
You have a gift Jack, you do. You see people.

Jack:
I see you.

Rose:
And?

Jack:
You wouldn't have jumped.

Lovejoy:
You'll want to tie those.

Lovejoy:
It's interesting. The young lady slipped so suddenly and you still had time to remove your jacket and your shoes.

Ruth:
Tea, Trudy!

Ruth:
You're not to see that boy again. Do you understand me? Rose, I forbid it.

Rose:
Oh stop it, mother. You'll give yourself a nose bleed.

Jack:
Where to, Miss?

Rose:
To stars.

Jack:
To make each day count.

Jack:
Do you want to go to a real party?

Rose:
As a paying customer, I expect to get what I want.

Brock Lovett:
This is Brock Lovett. How can I help you, Mrs. Calvert?

Old Rose:
I was just wondering if you had found the heart of the ocean yet, Mr. Lovett.

Brock Lovett:
All right, you have my attention, Rose. Can you tell us who the woman in the picture is?

Old Rose:
Oh yes! The woman in the picture is me.

Old Rose:
It was the ship of dreams to everyone else. To me it was a slave ship, taking me back to America in chains. Outwardly, I was everything a well brought up girl should be. Inside, I was screaming.

Jack:
All right, the moment of truth. Somebody's life is about to change. Fabrizio? Niente.

Jack:
Olaf? Nothing. Sven? Oh... two pairs. I'm sorry, Fabrizio.

Fabrizio:
Que sorry, va fanculo!

Jack:
I'm sorry, you're not gonna see your mom again for a long time, 'cause we're going to America, full house boys! Wohoo!

Jack:
Wait, wait, wait! We're passengers.

Jack:
Of course. Anyway, we don't have any lice. We're Americans, both of us.

Jack:
Good bye!

Jack:
Of course not. That's not the point. Good bye, I'll miss you.

Jack:
Don't do it!

Rose:
Stay back! Don't come any closer.

Jack:
Come on, just give me your hand. I'll pull you back over.

Rose:
No, stay where you are! I mean it. I'll let go.

Jack:
No, you won't.

Rose:
What do you mean "No I won't"? Don't presume to tell me what I will and will not do, you don't know me.

Jack:
Well, you would've done it already.

Rose:
You're distracting me. Go away!

Jack:
I can't. I'm involved now.

Jack:
I'm Jack Dawson.

Rose:
Rose DeWitt Bukater.

Jack:
I'm going to have to get you to write that down.

Rose:
Mother! May I introduce Jack Dawson?

Ruth:
Charmed, I'm sure.

Old Rose:
The others were gracious and curious about the man who had saved my life. But my mother looked at him like an insect. A dangerous insect, which must be squashed quickly.

Jack:
No caviar for me, thanks. Never did like it much.

Jack:
I'm gonna dance with her now, all right?

Jack:
Come on.

Rose:
What?

Jack:
Come on, come with me.

Rose:
Jack! Jack, wait. I can't do this.

Jack:
We're gonna have to get a little bit closer. Like this.

Jack:
You're still my best girl, Cora.

Rose:
What? Do you think a first class girl can't drink?

Rose:
Jack, I want you to draw me like one of your French girls. Wearing this...

Jack:
All right.

Rose:
Wearing "only" this.

Jack:
Are you nervous?

Rose:
No. Put your hands on me, Jack.

Jack:

Jack:
Rose! You're so stupid. Why did you do that, huh? You're so stupid, Rose. Why did you do that? Why?

Rose:
You jump, I jump, right?

Jack:
Right.

Rose:
Oh God! I couldn't go. I couldn't go, Jack.

Jack:
It's all right. We'll think of something.

Rose:
At least I'm with you.

Jack:
We'll think of something.

Rose:
Jack! This is where we first met.

Old Rose:
That was the last time I ever saw him. He married, of course. And inherited his millions. But the crash of '29 hit his interest hard, and he put a pistol in his mouth that year. Or so I read.

Rose:
Dawson, Rose Dawson.

Old Rose:
And I've never spoken of him until now. Not to anyone, not even your grandfather. A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets.

Musician:
What's the use? Nobody's listening to us anyway.

Wallace Hartley:
Well, they don't listen to us at dinner either.

Lewis Bodine:
She's a god damn liar! Some nutcase seeking money, publicity, God only knows what. Like the Russian babe, Anastacia.

Lewis Bodine:
Rose De Witt Bukater died on the Titanic when she was 17 right?

Brock Lovett:
That's Right.

Lewis Bodine:
If she had lived, she'd be over a hundred by now.

Brock Lovett:
101 next month.

Lewis Bodine:
Okay, so she is a very old god damn liar! Look I've already done the background on this woman all the way back to the twenties, where she was working as an actress. An actress! There's your first clue Sherlock! Her name was Rose Dawson back then. Then she married this guy named Calvert, she moved to Cedar Rapids and punched out a couple of kids. Now Calvert's dead, and from I hear Cedar Rapids is dead!

Brock Lovett:
Everyone who knows about the diamond is supposed to be dead on this boat, but she knows!

Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller:
Get Back I Say, or I'll shoot you all like dogs! Keep order here! Keep order I say. Mr. Lowe, man this boat.

Jack:
Why did you do that, you're so stupid Rose!

Rose:
You jump, I jump, right?

Jack:
Right.

Lovett:
Louis XVI wore a fabulous stone that was called the Blue Diamond of the Crown, which disappeared in 1792, about the same time old Louis lost everything from the neck up. The theory goes that the crown diamond was chopped too... recut into a heart-like shape that became known as the Heart of the Ocean. Today it would be worth more than the Hope Diamond.

Old Rose:
It was a dreadful, heavy thing. I only wore it this once.

Lizzy:
[looking at Rose's drawing] You actually believe this is you, Nana?

Old Rose:
It is me, dear. Wasn't I a dish?

Lovett:
I tracked it down through insurance records. An old claim that was settled under terms of absolute secrecy. Can you tell me who the claimant was, Rose?

Old Rose:
I should imagine someone named Hockley.

Lovett:
Nathan Hockley, that's right. Pittsburgh steel tycoon. The claim was for a diamond necklace his son, Caledon, bought his fiancée. You. A week before he sailed on Titanic. It was filed right after the sinking, so the diamond had to have gone down with the ship. See the date?

Lizzy:
"April 14, 1912".

Bodine:
Which means, if your grandmother is who she says she is, she was wearing the diamond the day the Titanic sank.

Lovett:
[to old Rose] And that makes you my new best friend.

Old Rose:
It's been 84 years...

Lovett:
It's okay. Just try to remember anything, anything at all.

Old Rose:
Do you want to hear this or not, Mr. Lovett? It's been 84 years, and I can still smell the fresh paint. The china had never been used. The sheets had never been slept in. Titanic was called the 'Ship of Dreams," and it was. It really was.

Rose:
I don't see what all the fuss is about. It doesn't look any bigger than the Mauretania.

Hockley:
You can be blasé about some things, Rose, but not about Titanic. It's over a hundred feet longer than the Mauritania and far more luxurious. Your daughter is far too difficult to impress, Ruth.

Ruth:
So this is the ship they say is unsinkable.

Hockley:
It is unsinkable. God, himself could not sink this ship!

Molly:
Hey, uh, who thought of the name "Titanic?" Was it you, Bruce?

Bruce:
Yes, actually. I want to convey sheer size; and size means stability, luxury, and, above all, strength.

Rose:
Do you know of Dr. Freud, Mr. Ismay? His ideas about the male preoccupation with size might be of particular interest to you.

[Molly and Thomas Andrews chuckle]

Ruth:
[whispering] What's gotten into you?

Rose:
Excuse me. [rises and leaves]

Ruth:
I do apologize.

Molly:
She's a pistol, Cal. Hope you can handle her.

Hockley:
Well, I may have to start minding what she reads from now on. Won't I, Mrs. Brown?

Bruce:
Freud? Who is he? Is he a passenger?

Rose:
Look, I know what you must be thinking, "Poor little rich girl, what does she know about misery?"

Jack:
No! No, that's not what I was thinking. What I was thinking was, "What could've happened to this girl to make her think she had no way out?"

Rose:
It was everything. It was my whole world and all the people in it. And the inertia of my life: plunging ahead and me powerless to stop it. [shows Jack her engagement ring]

Jack:
God, look at that thing! You would've gone straight to the bottom.

Rose:
Hello, Jack. I changed my mind.

Jack:
Give me your hand. Now close your eyes. [...] Now, step up onto the rail. [...] Do you trust me?

Rose:
I trust you.

Jack:
Open your eyes.

Rose:
I'm flying, Jack.

Jack:
Is it a sapphire?

Rose:
A diamond. A very rare diamond. Jack, I want you to draw me like one of your French girls. Wearing this.

Jack:
All right.

Rose:
Wearing only this.

[while the ship is sinking, Jack and Rose break out of a room, damaging the door]

Steward:
What do you think you're doing?! You'll have to pay for that, you know. That's White Star Line property!

Jack and Rose:
SHUT UP!!

[As the Carpathia arrives in New York, Rose stands in the rain, staring at the Statue of Liberty.]

Carpathia Steward:
Can I take your name, please, love?

Rose:
Dawson. Rose Dawson.

Steward:
Thank you.

[The scene returns to the present day.]

Old Rose:
Can you exchange one life for another? A caterpillar turns into a butterfly. If a mindless insect can do it, why couldn't I? Was it any more unimaginable than the sinking of the Titanic?

Bodine:
We never found anything on Jack. There's no record of him at all.

Old Rose:
No, there wouldn't be, would there? And I've never spoken of him until now. Not to anyone. [to Lizzy] Not even your grandfather. A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets. But now you know there was a man named Jack Dawson, and that he saved me in every way that a person can be saved. I don't even have a picture of him. He exists now only in my memory.

Winning that ticket, Rose, was the best thing that ever happened to me... it brought me to you. And I'm thankful for that, Rose. I'm thankful. You must do me this honor. Promise me you'll survive. That you won't give up, no matter what happens, no matter how hopeless. Promise me now, Rose, and never let go of that promise.

Rose

"A Woman's Heart Is a Deep Ocean of Secrets"

Tommy:
If this is the direction the rats are going, that's good enough for me.

Rose:
Wait! Mr. Andrews!

Thomas Andrews:
Oh, Rose...

Rose:
Won't you even make a try for it?

Thomas Andrews:
I'm sorry that I didn't build you a stronger ship, young Rose.

Jack:
It's going fast, we have to move.

Thomas Andrews:
Wait. Good luck to you, Rose.

Rose:
And to you.

Jack:
Alright, the moment of truth. Somebody's life is about to change. Fabrizio?

Fabrizio:
[In Italian] I have nothing.

Jack:
Two pairs. I'm sorry, Fabrizio.

Fabrizio:
You should be sorry, you bet all our money!

Jack:
I'm sorry, you're not gonna see your mom again for a long time, 'cause we're going to America, full house boys! Woohoo!

Fabrizio:
Helga, you come with me now, I am very lucky, is my destiny to go to America please.

[Helga and Fabrizio kiss]

Fabrizio:
Come

Helga:
[Pulls back] I'm sorry.

Fabrizio:
I will never forget you.

[Jack and Fabrizio are about to play poker against Swedish poker players Olaf and Sven]

Fabrizio:
Jack, you are pazzo! You bet everything we have!

Jack:
When you got nothin', you got nothin' to lose.

Olaf:
[To Sven in Swedish] You moron, I can't believe you bet our tickets!

[Jack sees Rose for the first time]

Tommy Ryan:
Ah forget it, boyo. You're as likely to have angels fly out of your arse as get next to the likes of her.

Old Rose:
1,500 people went into the sea when Titanic sank from under us. There were 20 boats floating nearby and only one came back. One. 6 were saved from the water, myself included. 6... out of 1,500. Afterward, the 700 people in the boats had nothing to do but wait. Wait to die, wait to live, wait for an absolution that would never come.

Hartley:
Gentlemen, it has been a privilege playing with you tonight.
