( Trumpet Playing Fanfare)

Why do they always insist on announcing

dinner like a damn cavalry charge?

- ( Laughs)

- Shall we go to dress , Mother?

See you at dinner , Jack.h

Uh , son? Son!

Do you have the slightest comprehension

what you're doing?

Not really.

Well , you're about to go

into the snake pit.

What are you planning to wear?

I figured. Come on.y

I was right.

You and my son

are just about the same size.

Pretty close.

- ( Whistles)

- You shine up like a new penny.

( Laughs))

Good evening , sir. ( Orchestra Playing

"On The Beautiful Blue Danube")

Good evening.

Man:

Hello.m

Cal:
Do you know that there are

several thousand tons

of Hockley steel

in this very ship?m

- Ruth:
Hmm. Which part?

- Cal:
All the right ones , of course.

Then we'll know who to hold

accountable if there's a problem.

- Where's my daughter?

- Oh , she'll be along.

- There is the countess.

- Hello , my dear.

- Good evening , Cal.

- Cal:
So good to see you.

I saw that in a nickelodeon once

and I always wanted to do it.

( Snickers)l

Ruth:

I'll see you at dinner.

Darling? Surely

you remember Mr. Dawson.

Dawson?

( Chuckles)

Well , it's amazing.

You could almost pass for a gentleman.

- Almost.

- Extraordinary.

Ruth:

My dear , it's delightful to see you.

What a remarkable

voyage this is.

- It's mad , isn't it?

- Ruth:
I love your perfume.

There's the Countess of Rothes.

And , um , that's John Jacob Astor--

the richest man on the ship.

His little wife there , Madeleine ,

is my age and in delicate condition.

See how she's

trying to hide it?

- Quite the scandal.

- Hmm.

And that's Benjamin Guggenheim

and his mistress Madame Aubert.

Mrs. Guggenheim is at home

with the children , of course.

And over here we have

Sir Cosmo and Lucille Lady Duff-Gordon.

She designs naughty lingerie ,

among her many talents.

Very popular with the royals.

Congratulations , Hockley.

She's splendid.

Why , thank you.

- Care to escort a lady to dinner?

- Certainly.

- ( Chuckling)

- Sweat pea?

- Cal:
Sweet pea.

- Ain't nothin' to it , is there , Jack?

Remember , they love money , so just

pretend like you own a gold mine...

and you're in the club.r

- Hey , Astor!

- Well , hello , Molly. Nice to see you.

J.J. Madeleine ,

I'd like you to meet Jack Dawson.

- How Do you do?

- Pleasure.

Hello , Jack.

Are you of the Boston Dawsons?

No-- the Chippewa Falls Dawsons ,

actually.

Oh , yes. Yes.a

He must have been nervous ,

but he never faltered.

They assumed

he was one of them--

Heir to a rail road fortune ,

perhaps.

New money , obviously ,

but still a member of the club.

Mother , of course ,

could always be counted upon.!

Tell us of the accommodations

in steerage , Mr. Dawson.

I hear they're quite good

on this ship.

The best I've seen , ma'am.

Hardly any rats.

( Laughter)

Mr. Dawson is joining us

from the third class.o

He was of some assistance

to my fiance last night.

It turns out that Mr. Dawson

is quite a fine artist.

He was kind enough to show me

some of his work today.

Rose and I differ somewhat

in our definition off art.

Not to impugn your work , sir.u

( Clears Throat)

Ismay:

She may be mine on paper

but in the eyes of God ,

she belongs to Thomas Andrews.

( Whispering):

Are these all for me?!

Just start from the outside

and work your way in.

He knows every rivet

in her , don't you , Thomas?

- Your ship is a wonder , truly.

- Thank you , Rose.

- And how Do you take your caviar , sir?

- No caviar for me , thanks.

Never did like it much.o

And where , exactly ,

Do you live , Mr. Dawson?

Well , right now , my address

is the R.M.S. Titanic.

After that ,

I'm on God's good humor.

And how is it

you have means to travel?

I work my way

from place to place--

You know ,

tramp steamers and such.t

But I won my ticket

on Titanic here

at a lucky hand at poker.

A very lucky hand.

- All life is a game of luck.

- Mmm.

A real man makes

his own luck , Archie.

- Right , Dawson?

- Mmm.

And you find that sort of

rootless existence appealing , Do you?

Well , yes , ma'am , I do.

I mean , got everything I need

right here with me.

Got air in my lungs

and a few blank sheets of paper.

I mean , I love waking up in the morning

not knowing what's going to happen

or who I'm going to meet ,

where I'm going to wind up.

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.

- ( Laughter)

- I'll take some more of that.

I figure life's a gift ,

and I don't intend on wasting it.

You never know what hand

you're going to get dealt next.

You learn to take life

as it comes at you. Here you go , Cal.

To make each day count.

- Well said , Jack.

- Hear , hear!

To making it count.n

- All:
To making it count.

- Archie:
Bravo.

( Molly Laughing) Mr. Brown had no idea

I'd hidden the money in the stove.

( Laughter)h

So he comes home drunk as a pig ,

celebrating and he lights a fire.

( Laughter)

( Softly):
Next it'll be

brandies in the smoking room.

Archie:

Well , join me in a brandy , gentlemen?

( Men Agree)

Now they retreat into a cloud of smoke

and congratulate each other

on being masters of the universe.)

Ladies , thank you for

the pleasure of your company.

Rose , may I escort you

back to the cabin?

- No , I'll stay here.

- Here you go , Molly.

Archie:

Joining us , Dawson?

You don't want to stay out here

with the women , Do you?

No , thanks.

I've got to be heading back.

- Ah.

- Probably best.

It'll be all business

and politics , that sort of thing--

Wouldn't interest you.

But Dawson , good of you to come.

Jack , must you go?

Time for me to go row

with the other slaves.l

Good night , Rose.a

( Clock Begins Chiming)P

( Sighs)s

So you want to go

to a real party?

- ( Drums Pounding , Men Whooping)

- ( Playing Lively Tune)

Is okay I put my hand here? Okay.m

- Tal la frikken svenska?

- What?

( Repeats Phrase)p

I can't understand you.

( Glass Shatters)

Hey! Bravo , bravo!r

- Thank you. Come on , guys.

- Let's go!y

I'm going to dance

with her now , all right?

- Come on.

- What?

- Come with me.

- What? Jack--Jack , wait!

- ( Band Playing At Fast Tempo)

- I can't do this.

We're going to have to

get a little bit closer.a

Like this.t

- ( Pipes And Drums Playing Dance Tune)

- You're still my best girl , Cora.

- I don't know the steps.

- Neither do l.

Just go with it.

Don't think.

- ( Laughing)

- Hey.

( Rose Squealing With Delight) Wait , Jack , Jack!

Wait! Stop , Jack!

- Ba-ba-ba.

- ( Dancers Whooping)t

- Rose:
Wait!

- Hey! Hey!

( Whooping)a

-Jack:
Yeah!

-Jack , no!

Whaaa!

( Squeals , Giggling)

...jurisdiction of the Sherman Act

so my lawyers will argue.

That's what Rockefeller said , but

the Supreme Court is not swallowing it.

( Men Shouting And Cheering ,

Drums And Pipes Playing)

What? You think

a first-class girl can't drink?n
