Titanic 2000 Page #4

( Whistles)

Can l , uh... bum a smoke?

You'll want to tie those.

It's interesting.

The young lady slips so suddenly

and you still had time

to remove your jacket

and your shoes.

- ( Music Box Playing Tune)

- ( Knock At Door)

( Door Opens) I know you've been melancholy.

I don't pretend to know why.

I intended to save this

until the engagement galat

next week.

But I thought tonight.

Good gracious.o

Perhaps as a reminder

of my feelings for you.

- Is it a...

- Diamond? Yes.

56 carats to be exact.

It was worn by Louis XVI

and they called it

"Le Coeur De La Mer. "

Both:

The Heart of the Ocean.

Yes.r

It's overwhelming..

Well , it's for royalty.

We are royalty , Rose.

You know , there's nothing

I couldn't give you.

There's nothing I'd deny you

if you would not deny me.

Now open your heart

to me , Rose.

Jack:
Well , I've been on my own since

I was 1 5 since my folks died.

And I had no

brothers or sisters

or close kin in that part

of the country.

So I lit on out of there

and I haven't been back since.

You could just call me

a tumbleweed blowing in the wind.

Well , Rose...i

we've walked about a mile

around this boat deck

and chewed over how great

the weather's been and how I grew up

but I reckon that's not why

you came to talk to me , is it?

- Mr. Dawson , l--

-Jack.

Jack...y

I want to thank you

for what you did.

Not just for... for pulling me back

but for your discretion.

You're welcome.

Look , I know

what you must be thinking.

Poor little rich girl.

What does she know about misery?

No. No , that's not what

I was thinking.

What I was thinking was

what could have happened to this girl

to make her think

she had no way out?e

Well , l--

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.

God! Look at that thing.

You would have gone

straight to the bottom.

500 invitations have gone out.k

All of Philadelphia society

will be there

and all the while

I feel I'm...

standing in the middle

of a crowded room

screaming at the top of my lungs

and no one even looks up.

Do you love him?h

- Pardon me?

- Do you love him?o

You're being very rude.

You shouldn't be asking me this.

Well , it's a simple question.

Do you love the guy or not?

This is not

a suitable conversation.

-Why can't you just answer the question?

-( Nervous Laughter)

This is absurd. You don't know me ,

and I don't know you

and we are not having

this conversation at all.

You are rude and uncouth

and presumptuous and I am leaving now.

Jack. Mr. Dawson ,

it's been a pleasure.

I sought you out to thank you

and now I have thanked you...

- And you've insulted me.

- Well , you deserved it.

- Right.

- Right.n

- I thought you were leaving.

- I am.

You are so annoying.r

- ( Chuckles)

- Wait.

I don't have to leave.

This is my part of the ship. You leave.

Oh-ho-ho ,

well , well , well.

Now who's being rude?

What is this stupid thing

you're carrying around?o

So what are you ,

an artist or something?

Well , these are rather good.

They're , uh--

They're very good actually.

Jack , this is exquisite work.

They didn't think too much

of them in old Paree.

Paris! You do get around

for a poor--y

Well , uh , uh , a person

of limited means.

Go on , a poor guy ,

you can say it.

Well , well , well.

And these were drawn from life?

Well , that's one

of the good things about Paris--

Lots of girls willing

to take their clothes off.

You liked this woman.

You used her several times.)

Well , she had beautiful hands ,

you see?

I think you must have had

a love affair with her.

No , no , no , no , no.

Just with her hands.

She was a one-legged prostitute.c

See?l

- ( Aghast):
Oh!

- ( Both Chuckle)o

Ah , she had a good sense

of humor , though.

Oh , and this lady...

she used to sit

at this bar every night

wearing every piece

of jewelry she owned

just waiting

for her long-lost love.

Called her Madame Bijou.

See how her clothes

are all moth-eaten?

Well , you have a gift , Jack.

You do. You see people.

I see you.t

And?.

You wouldn't have jumped.

But the purpose of university

is to find a suitable husband.

Rose has already done that.

Look , here comes

that vulgar Brown woman.

Quickly , get up

before she sits with us.u

Hello , girls. I was hoping

I'd catch you at tea.

We're awfully sorry

you missed it.t

The countess and I were just off

to take the air on the boat deck.

What a lovely idea.

I need to catch up on my gossip.

Molly:

Countess.

So you've not yet

lit the last four boilers?

No , I don't see the need.

We are making excellent time.

The press knows

the size of Titanic.

Now I want them to marvel

at her speed.

We must give them

something new to print.

This maiden voyage of Titanic

must make headlines.

Mr. Ismay , I would prefer

not to push the engines

until they've been

properly run in.

Of course

I'm just a passenger.

I leave it to your good offices

to decide what's best.

But what a glorious end

to your final crossing

if we were to get into New York

on Tuesday night and surprise them all.

Make the morning papers.

Retire with a bang , eh , E.J.?

Good man.e

Well , after that I worked on

a squid boat in Monterey.

Then I went down to Los Angeles

to the pier in Santa Monica

and started doing portraits there

for ten cents a piece.

Why can't I be like you , Jack--

just head out for the horizon

whenever I feel like it?

Say we'll go there

sometime to that pier

even if we only

ever just talk about it.

No , we'll do it. We'll drink cheap beer. We'll ride

on the roller coaster till we throw up.

Then we'll ride horses on the beach

right in the surf.

But you'll have to do it like a real

cowboy. None of that sidesaddle stuff.

- You mean , one leg on each side?

- Yeah.

- Can you show me?

- Sure... if you like.

- Teach me to ride like a man.

- And chew tobacco like a man.

And spit like a man.

They didn't teach you that

in finishing school?

- No.

- Well , come on , I'll show you.

Let's do it.

I'll show you how. Come on.

Jack , no! Jack , no!t

Wait , Jack. No , Jack.

I couldn't possibly , Jack.

Watch closely.m

- That's disgusting!

- All right , your turn.

That was pitiful!n

Come on , you really got

to hawk it back , you know?

Get some leverage to it.

Use your arms , arc your neck.

( Hawks)

- See the range on that thing?

- Mm-hmm.

- ( Rose Hawking)

-Jack:
Okay , go.

( Hawks)

-That was better. You got to work on it.

-Really?

Really try and hawk it up

and get some body to it , you know?

You got to...

( Snorting)

( Swallows)g

Mother.n

May I introduce Jack Dawson?

Charmed , I'm sure.

The others were gracious

and curious

about the man

who had saved my life

but m ymother looked at him

like an insect--

a dangerous insect

which must be squashed quickly.

Well , Jack , sounds like you're a good

man to have around in a sticky spot.
