Yes sir. |
And wake me, of course, if anything becomes in the slightest degree doubtful. |
Take my hand. I'll pull you back in. |
No! Stay where you are. I mean it. I'll let go. |
No you won't. |
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. |
You would have done it already. Now come on, take my hand. |
You're distracting me. Go away. |
I can't. I'm involved now. If you let go I have to jump in after you. |
Don't be absurd. You'll be killed. |
The fall alone would kill you. |
It would hurt. I'm not saying it wouldn't. To be honest I'm a lot more concerned about the water being so cold. |
How cold? |
Freezing. Maybe a couple degrees over. |
Ever been to Wisconsin? |
No. |
Well they have some of the coldest winters around, and I grew up there, near Chippewa Falls. Once when I was a kid me and my father were ice fishing out on Lake Wissota... ice fishing's where you chop a hole in the |
I know what ice fishing is! |
Sorry. Just... you look like kind of an indoor girl. Anyway, I went through some thin ice and I'm tellin' ya, water that cold... like that right down there... it hits you like a thousand knives all over your body. You can't breath, you can't think... least not about anything but the pain. Which is why I'm not looking f... |
You're crazy. |
That's what everybody says. But with all due respect, I'm not the one hanging off the back of a ship. |
I'm Jack Dawson. |
Pleased to meet you, Mr. Dawson. |
HELP! HELP!! |
I've got you. I won't let go. |
Hello again. |
Could I speak to you in private? |
Uh, yes. Of course. After you. |
So, you got a name by the way? |
Rose. Rose DeWitt Bukater. |
That's quite a moniker. I may hafta get you to write that down. |
Mr. Dawson, I |
Jack. |
Jack... I feel like such an idiot. It took me all morning to get up the nerve to face you. |
Well, here you are. |
Here I am. I... I want to thank you for what you did. Not just for... for pulling me back. But for your discretion. |
You're welcome. Rose. |
Look, I know what you must be thinking! Poor little rich girl. What does she know about misery? |
That's not what I was thinking. What I was thinking was... what could have happened to hurt this girl so much she though she had no way out. |
I don't... it wasn't just one thing. It was everything. It was them, it was their whole world. And I was trapped in it, like an insect in amber. I just had to get away... just run and run and run... and then I was at the back rail and there was no more ship... even the Titanic wasn't big enough. Not enough to get away ... |
Uh huh. They'll be sorry. 'Course you'll be dead. |
Oh God, I am such an utter fool. |
That penguin last night, is he one of them? |
Penguin? Oh, Cal! He is them. |
Is he your boyfriend? |
Worse I'm afraid. |
So you feel like you're stuck on a train you can't get off 'cause you're marryin' this fella. |
Yes, exactly! |
So don't marry him. |
If only it were that simple. |
It is that simple. |
Oh, Jack... please don't judge me until you've seen my world. |
Well, I guess I will tonight. |
What's this? |
Just some sketches. |
May I? |
Jack, these are quite good! Really, they are. |
Well, they didn't think too much of 'em in Paree. |
Oh no! Oh, I'm so sorry. Truly! |
Well, they didn't think too much of 'em in Paree. |
And these were drawn from life? |
Yup. That's one of the great things about Paris. Lots of girls willing take their clothes off. |
You liked this woman. You used her several times. |
She had beautiful hands. |
I think you must have had a love affair with her... |
No, no! Just with her hands. |
You have a gift, Jack. You do. You see people. |
I see you. |
And...? |
You wouldn'ta jumped. |
You know, my dream has always been to just chuck it all and become an artist... living in a garret, poor but free! |
You wouldn't last two days. There's no hot water, and hardly ever any caviar. |
Listen, buster... I hate caviar! And I'm tired of people dismissing my dreams with a chuckle and a pat on the head. |
I'm sorry. Really... I am. |
Well, alright. There's something in me, Jack. I feel it. I don't know what it is, whether I should be an artist, or, I don't know... a dancer. Like Isadora Duncan.... a wild pagan spirit... |
So then what, Mr. Wandering Jack? |
Well, then logging got to be too much like work, so I went down to Los Angeles to the pier in Santa Monica. That's a swell place, they even have a rollercoaster. I sketched portraits there for ten cents a piece. |
A whole ten cents?! |
Yeah; it was great money... I could make a dollar a day, sometimes. But only in summer. When it got cold, I decided to go to Paris and see what the real artists were doing. |
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. |
Alright, we're going. We'll drink cheap beer and go on the rollercoaster until we throw up and we'll ride horses on the beach... right in the surf... but you have to ride like a cowboy, none of that sidesaddle stuff. |
You mean one leg on each side? Scandalous! Can you show me? |
Sure. If you like. |
I think I would. And teach me to spit too. Like a man. Why should only men be able to spit. It's unfair. |
They didn't teach you that in finishing school? Here, it's easy. Watch closely. |
I saw that in a nickelodeon once, and I always wanted to do it. |
Cal, surely you remember Mr. Dawson. |
Jack, must you go? |
Time for my coach to turn back into a pumpkin. |
May I cut in, miss? |
You're still my best girl, Cora. |
I don't know the steps. |
Just move with me. Don't think. |
You're not one of them. There's been a mistake. |
A mistake? |
Uh huh. You got mailed to the wrong address. |
I did, didn't I? Look! A shooting star. |
That was a long one. My father used to say that whenever you saw one, it was a soul going to heaven. |
I like that. Aren't we supposed to wish on it? |
Rose, you're no picnic... you're a spoiled little brat even, but under that you're a strong, pure heart, and you're the most amazingly astounding girl I've ever known and |
