Titanic

Tommy Ryan: If this is the direction the rats are going, that's good enough for me. Benjamin Guggenheim: [after being offered a lifebelt] No, thank you. We are dressed in our best, and are prepared to go down as gentlemen. But we would like a brandy!!! Colonel Astor: I am looking for my damned dog. Madeleine asked me to look for the dog... Cosmo Gordon: [after being asked to go back to pick up more people] It's out of the question!!! Quartermaster Hichens: It's our lives now, not theirs. Hichens: And there'll be one less on this boat, if you don't SHUT THAT HOLE IN YOUR FACE!!! Frederick Fleet: [to Reginald Lee] If that's what it takes for us two to get warm, I'd rather not, if it's all the same to you, alright? Fleet: Bugger me! Fleet: Pick up, you bastards! Fleet: ICEBERG, RIGHT AHEAD!!! Fleet: Why ain't they turning?! Fleet: Oy, that was a close shave weren't it? Reginald Lee: [to Frederick Fleet] Smell ice, can ya? Bleedin' Christ. Hartley: Right, boys, like the Captain said. Nice

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 ha

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. Cal: You can be blasé about some things, Rose, but not about Titanic. It's over 100 feet longer than the Mauretania and far more luxurious. Your daughter is far too difficult to impress, Ruth. Ruth: So this is the ship they say is unsinkable. Cal: 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 wanted 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. 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.
