People first, things second. [addressing the ship's officers and Ismay on the bridge] Gentlemen, we are in a precarious position. We must be prepared to abandon ship. [Officers look at each other in sheer surprise] Captain Edward J. Smith: Mister Murdoch, you will muster the passengers. Mister Lightoller, you will have the boats uncovered and swung out. Mister Boxhall, call all hands and get them to boat stations. Mister Moody, you will help Mister Lightoller. Mister Wilde and Mister Pitman will remain on the bridge. Everything will be done quietly and calmly. There must be no alarm and no panic. I will give the word when the boats are to loaded with the women and children. Carry on, please. [the officers disperse to carry out their orders] Ismay: Captain. Aren't you exagerrating the danger? Captain Edward J. Smith: I'm afraid not, sir. Ismay: But... Where's Andrews? Captain Edward J. Smith: I am acting on his advice. This ship is going to founder. Ismay: But, she can't! In any case, we can't get everyone in the boats. Captain Edward J. Smith: I know that, sir. Please God, it won't come to that! [as Lightoller is preparing to leave for the voyage] Do you think they'll promote you to First Officer after this trip, Bertie? Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller: Well, that depends whether they keep old Wilde on, or not. Mrs. Sylvia Lightoller: You were First on the "Majestic". Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller: Ah, but that was *temporary*! Mrs. Sylvia Lightoller: Don't you mind? Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller: No. Bill Murdoch's the one with his nose out of joint this trip. Ambitious fellow, is Bill. Mrs. Sylvia Lightoller: So are you. You *know* you are. Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller: Well, I'd rather be Second on the "Titanic" than First, or even Chief on any *other* ship* [Captain Rostron is urging his Chief Engineer to give him all the speed possible as they race to the rescue] Cut your heating and hot water. Cut anything you like. But I've *got* to have every ounce of steam you can give me. | |

[looks around Lifeboat 6 as it's being lowered] Hey, we've only got one sailor with us. That's not enough to manage this boat. [Calls up to the Boat Deck as other women look around and confirm her observation] Mrs. Margaret 'Molly' Brown: . Hold it there. Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller: [to seamen at falls] Stop lowering. [Calls down to the boat] Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller: What's the matter? Mrs. Margaret 'Molly' Brown: Hey son. We only got one sailor in this boat. Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller: [Looks around Boat Deck for any available seamen] Are there any spare hands here? Maj. Arthur Peuchen: [Looks around, notices there are no seamen around, and steps forward] I'll go, if you like. Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller: Are you a sailor? Maj. Arthur Peuchen: I'm a yachtsman. Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller: [Indicates lowering ropes for the boat] If you're seaman enough to slip down that lifeline, you can go. [Yells down to boat] Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller: Below. Hitchens: Sir. Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller: Let's have that line. [the lifeline is swung towards the side of the ship. Lightoller grabs it after a couple of tries and holds it for Peuchen] Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller: Right. Good luck. [Peuchen grabs the line and swings out over the edge. Lightoller watches as he lowers himself down the rope and safely into the boat. Once he's in safely, Lightoller addresses the seamen at the falls] Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller: Lower away together. [after seeing Joughin step out of a boat to give a lady his place] What's the matter? Aren't you in charge of this boat? Chief Baker Charles Joughin: Oh, I'm no seaman, sir. [Indicates another member of the kitchen staff who's now at the helm] Chief Baker Charles Joughin: Joe can manage just as well. Ladies first, eh sir? [Lightoller nods approvingly at Joughin's selflessness] [going through the steerage corridors, rousing the passengers] Everybody up, get dressed, get your lifebelts on, at once. Everybody up, get dressed, get your lifebelts on, at once. [sees Cottam coming onto the bridge with a wireless update] Oh, what is it, Cottam? Wireless Operator Harold Thomas Cottam: From the "Titanic", sir. Her engine room's flooded and she's sinking by the head. Her wireless operator says he won't have the power to transmit for much longer. Her captain wants to know how long we'll be. Capt. Arthur Rostron: [sadly looks at clock in the wheelhouse] Tell them, another two hours. [Cottam wordlessly goes to relay this bad news back to "Titanic"] [trying to urge people to get in the boats] Women and children first. Mr. Isador Straus: [sees Ismay past and tries to get his wife to follow Ismay's directions] Please, Rachel, get in the boat. Col. Archibald Gracie: Yes, Mrs. Straus, you must. Mrs. Straus: I've always stayed with my husband, Colonel. So why should I leave him now? Mr. Isador Straus: Please, be sensible. Mrs. Straus: We have been living together for many years, Isador. Where you go, I go. Col. Archibald Gracie: I'm sure nobody would object to an old gentleman like Mr. Straus going in a boat. I'll ask the officer. Mr. Isador Straus: No! I will not go before the other men. Mrs. Straus: We stay. [after firing off the last of the distress rockets in a desperate attempt to attract the attention of the "Californian"] That's the last one, sir. Captain Edward J. Smith: No reply to your signals? Quartermaster George Thomas Rowe: No sir. I think the bastards must be asleep. Captain Edward J. Smith: Report to Mister Murdoch. He's shorthanded. Quartermaster George Thomas Rowe: Aye aye, sir. [as the ship starts sinking faster, Andrews sees Guggenheim and his valet dressed in their most formal clothing] Mister Guggenheim... Your lifebelt... Benjamin Guggenheim: It was uncomfortable. We have dressed now in our best, and are prepared to go down like gentlemen. [discussing ice reports] Hmmmm. Just south of Cape Race. Second Officer Herbert Stone: I've never known pack ice to come *that* far south before, sir. Capt. Stanley Lord: It's been a mild winter on the Arctic. This ice must be drifting down on the Labrador Current. Well, our passengers aren't in any hurry. Wouldn't be with *us* if they were. [enters the wireless cabin as the ship's end is nearing, to give Phillips and Bride a final order] It's time to go now, Phillips. You've done your duty. You can do no more. Abandon your cabin, it's everyone for himself. Look after yourselves now. I release you both. God bless you. [through his megaphone to passengers and crew as the ship is beginning its final plunge] Abandon ship. Every man for himself. [after seeing Mrs. Straus decide to remain on the ship with her husband] She's right, you see. We'll stay together too. Mr. Clarke: But, she's old. You're young. Please darling; I can look after myself. Mrs. Clarke: We both can. [observing the strict "Women and Children" first policy on the port side of the Boat Deck] It's absurd. On the other side the gentlemen are going in the boats with their ladies. Why on earth we're standing here, I don't know. Sir Richard: But... Well, there'll be room in the boats for everybody. Lady Richard: Of course there will. Oh, Mister Andrews? Andrews: Yes? Robbie Lucas: I'd like you to tell me something. I... I have a wife and three children on board. Just how serious is it? [Andrews hesitates] Robbie Lucas: I'm not the panicking kind. Andrews: The ship has about an hour to live. A little more, if some of the upper bulkheads hold, but not much more. Get your wife and children into the boats. Robbie Lucas: Thank you. [Andrews walks off] Robbie Lucas: Oh, Mister Andrews? [Andrews stops and turns around] Robbie Lucas: I take it you and I might both be in the same boat later? Andrews: [smiles sadly] Yes... We may. [Lucas returns to his stateroom after being told the situation by Andrews] Please, will you tell me what's going on Robert? People have been rushing about, and noises overhead... Robbie Lucas: It's very tiresome. We've struck an iceberg and damaged the ship. We may be a day late getting into New York. Mrs. Liz Lucas: Oh, that is annoying. Robbie Lucas: And, to make matters worse, the captain is being very fussy and correct. All women and children have to go up on deck and get into the lifeboats. Mrs. Liz Lucas: Oh no. Robbie Lucas: I'm afraid so, dear. Mrs. Liz Lucas: But I don't want to wake the children. Is it really necessary? Robbie Lucas: Yes! [very sober tone] Robbie Lucas: I... I believe we should do as the captain says. [after the "Californian" still hasn't taken any apparent notice of the distress rockets being fired] What's the matter with him, is he *blind*? [peering through his binoculars as he and Rowe are desperately trying to contact the "Californian" through rockets and the morse lamp] Maybe someone tried to signal, but I can't make any sense out of it. Quartermaster George Thomas Rowe: Could be a masthead light flickering, couldn't it sir? Fourth Officer Joseph Boxhall: [frustrated and angry at the other ship's blindness] If I had a gun, I'd put a *shell* into him-! [approaches a woman as she's about to get into a lifeboat] Madam? [She turns in surprise as he hands her an envelope] Mr. Yates: If I don't get through, will you send this to my sister? The address is on it. They're clearing away two of the collapsible boats, if they succeed, I'm sure they'll be a place for you in one of them. Mr. Clarke: See, you can still go. Please darling. Mrs. Clarke: No. We've started out together and we'll finish together. Are you married Mr. Andrews? Andrews: Yes, and if my wife were here I'd think she would go. Mrs. Clarke: Do you have a family? Andrews: Yes. Mrs. Clarke: Then it would make a differance then wouldn't it? Andrews: Perhaps. Let my give you some advice, put your lifebelts on and lower yourself down using the ropes hanging over the side. Don't jump if you can avoid it. When you're in the water swim away from the ship at once, and be well clear of her when she sinks. Mr. Clarke: Thank you, we'll remember. Mr. Clarke: I wonder if he will save himself? Mrs. Clarke: We'll save ourselves. Crewman: If they're sending boats away, why don't they put some *people* in them? Engineer Officer Hesketh: I'll have to cut down more steam. Seaman: I'll have to get rid of some of the low watt systems. Engineer Officer Hesketh: Well, you can cut the boiler room fans for a start. They're using too much electricity. Seaman: That'll help. Engineer Officer Hesketh: Good. Seaman: How are things up top, sir? Any chance for us? Engineer Officer Hesketh: Whatever happens, we've got to keep the lights going. I'll give the word when it's time to go and then it's every man for himself. But it woun't be too long. I heard that the Carpathia is on her way to us. She should reach us any time now. [Hesketh exits] Seaman: [to the crewmen] Let's hope they're right, boys. If any of you feel like praying, you'd better go ahead. The rest of you can join me for a cup of tea. Looked like a rocket sir. Second Officer Herbert Stone: Yes. I wonder what a ship like that would want to fire rockets for? | |
