Titanic 2000 Page #8

---

Indeed. Two things dear to me

have disappeared this evening.

Now that one is back I have a pretty

good idea where to find the other.

- Search him.

- Take your coat off , sir.

- Now what?

- Come on.

Cal , what are you doing? We're in the

middle of an emergency. What's going on?

- Is this it?

- That's it.

This is horse sh*t!

- Don't you believe it , Rose. Don't!

- He couldn't have.

Of course he could.

It's easy enough for a professional.

But I was with him the whole time.

This is absurd.

Perhaps he did it while you were putting

your clothes back on , dear.

Real slick , Cal.

Rose , they put it in my pocket.

- Shut up.

- It isn't even your pocket , is it , son?

Property of A. L. Ryerson.

- That was reported stolen today.

- I just borrowed it.

- I was going to return it.

- We have an honest thief here , do we?

You know I didn't do this , Rose.

You know it.

Don't you believe them , Rose.

You know I didn't do it.

- Come on , let's go.

- You know I didn't do it , Rose. Rose!

Come on , son.

There's a good lad.

- Come on.

- You know I didn't do it! You know me!

Ismay:

Most unfortunate , Captain.

Water... 1 4 feet above

the keel in ten minutes--

In the fore peak , in all three holds

and in the boiler room six.

- That's right , sir.

- When can we get underway , damn it?

That's five compartments.

She can stay afloat with the first

four compartments breached

but not five-- not five.

As she goes down by the head

the water

will spill over the tops of bulkheads

at E deck from one to the next.

Back and back.

There's no stopping it.

The pumps--

If we opened the doors--

The pumps buy you time ,

but minutes only.

From this moment ,

no matter what we do

Titanic will founder.

But this ship can't sink.

She's made of iron , sir.

I assure you , she can...

and she will.

It is a mathematical certainty.

How much time?

An hour. Two at most.

And how many aboard ,

Mr. Murdoch?

2 , 200 souls on board , sir.

Well , I believe you may get

your headlines , Mr. Ismay.

Oh , it is a little slut , isn't it? Will

you look at me when I'm talking to you.

( Knock A tDoor)

- Mr. Hockley?

- Not now , we're busy.

Sir , I've been told to ask you to please

put on your life belts and come up to--

I said not now.

I'm sorry to inconvenience you ,

Mr. Hockley , but it's Captain's orders.

Now , please , dress warmly.

It's quite cold out tonight.

Now , may I suggest

topcoats and hats.

- This is ridiculous.

- Not to worry , miss.

I am sure

it's just a precaution.

Everybody up!

Life belts on!

- ( Men Screaming Orders)

- What's he yelling about?

Everybody up!

Put your life belts on!

- What's the ruckus?

-Just put your life belts on!

Crewman:

C.QD.?

Sir?

That's right-- C.Q D.

The distress call.

That's our position.

( Sighs)

Tell whoever responds

that we're going down by the head.

We need immediate assistance.

Blimey.

Keep lowering!

Keep lowering!

( Crewman Yelling Out Orders)

Mr. Wilde! Mr. Wilde ,

where are the passengers?

We moved them back inside.

It's too damn cold and noisy for them.

You there!

(Blows Whistle)

Get down here and

help with these lines.

( Orchestra Playing

"Alexander's Ragtime Band")

( People Conversing)

Care for a drink , sir?

- Crewman:
Please put your life belts on.

- Hey , sonny , what's doing?

You got us all trussed up here

and now we're cooling our heels.

Sorry , ma'am.

Let me go and find out.

I don't think anybody knows

what the hell's going on around here.

It's the goddamned English

doing everything by the book.

There's no need for language ,

Mr. Hockley.

Go back and turn

the heaters on in our rooms.

I'd like a cup of tea

when I return.

Yes , ma'am.

Mr. Andrews.

I saw the iceberg

and I see it in your eyes.

Please tell me the truth.

The ship will sink.

- You're certain.

- Yes , in an hour or so....

all this will be

at the bottom of the Atlantic.

- What?

- Please , tell only who you must?

I don't want to

be responsible for a panic

and get to a boat quickly ,

don't wait.

You remember what I told you

about the boats?

Yes.

I understand.

Over here , sir.

Sir , they need you

up in the second-class purser's office.

- There's a big mob up there.

- Go on , I'll keep an eye on him.

Aye , right.

Sir! Carpathia says

they're making 1 7 knots.

Full steam for them , sir.

She's the only one responding?

The only one close , sir.

She says they can be here in four hours.

Four hours?

Thank you , Bride.

( Softly):

My God.

( Crewmen Yelling Out Orders)

Sir! We are swung out

and ready , sir.

Hadn't we better get the women

and children into the boat , sir?

- Yes , we do.

- Sir?

Women and children first. Yes.

Yes , sir.

Crewman ( Yelling): Ladies

and gentlemen , your attention please!

Step this way , please.

That's right.

Come towards me.

Thank you. Good.

For the time being , I shall require

only women and children.

Man:

Right here.

All right , boys ,

like the captain said

nice and cheery

so there's no panic.

"Wedding Dance."

( Orchestra Begins Playing)

Life belts on!

Here , put your life belts on.

Put your life belts on.

Here , put your life belt on.

Here , come on , here.

( Commotion)

Crewman:
It isn't time

to go up to the boats yet.

Please stay calm.

Look , please , make sure , everybody ,

you've got your life belts on

and gentlemen , allow the women

and children through to the front.

- What are we doing , Mommy?

- We're just waiting , dear.

When they're finished putting

the first-class people in the boats...

they'll start with us and

we'll want to be all ready , won't we?

( Men Arguing)

Go and get some help.

Lower away!

Left and right together!

Steady! Both sides together.

Steady! Steady!

Steady!

Stop! Stop!

- ( Screaming)

- Hold the left side! Right side only!

Right side only!

Right side only!

Hold the left side!

Right side down!

Lower away together!

Steady , lads!

( Explosion)

( Passengers Gasp)

You know , I do believe

this ship may sink.

I've been asked to give you

this small token

of our appreciation.

Compliments of

Mr. Caledon Hockley.

Come on , sister , you heard

the man-- into the boat.

Any room for a gentleman ,

gentlemen?

Crewman:

Only women at this time , sir.

Will the lifeboats be seated

according to class?

I hope they're

not too crowded.

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.

Not the better half.

Come on , Ruth , get in the boat.

First-class seats are right up here.

You know , it's a pity

I didn't keep that drawing.

It'll be worth

a lot more by morning.

You unimaginable bastard.

Molly:
Come on , Rose , darling.

There's plenty of room for you.

Come on , Rose.

You're next , darling.

Come into the boat , Rose.

- Come.

- Rose , get into the boat.

Rose.

Good-bye , Mother.

Rose! Rose , come back here!
