There were 20 boats floating near by and only one came back. One. Six were saved from the water, myself included. Six out of 1500.
— She's a goddamn liar! Some nutcase seeking money or publicity. Like that Russian babe, Anesthesia. Rose Dewitt Bukater died on the Titanic when she was seventeen, right?
— That's right.
— If she had lived, she'd be over one hundred by now.
— One hundred and one newxt month.
— Okay, so she's a very old goddamn liar.
— Jack, must you go?
— Time for me to row with the other slaves.
— You're distracting me. Go away.
— I can't. I'm involved now. You let go, and I'm going to have to jump in there after you.
— Okay, here we go. She hits the berg on the starboard side, right? She kind of bumps along... punching holes like morse code, ditdit-dit along the side... below the water line. Then the forward compartments start to flood. Now, as the water level rises... it spills over the watertight bulkheads... which, unfortunately, don't go any higher than E deck. So now as the bow goes down... the stern rises up, slow at first... then faster and faster... until finally, she's got her whole ass sticking up in the air. And that's a big ass. We're talking 20, 30,000 tons. Okay? And the hull's not designed to deal with that pressure. So, what happens? She splits, right down to the keel. And the stern falls back level. Then... as the bow sinks it pulls the stern vertical... and then finally detaches. Now the stern section just kind of bobs there like a cork for a couple of minutes... floods, and finally goes under about 2:20 AM... 2 hours and 40 minutes after the collision. The bow section planes away...landing about a half a mile away... going 20, 30 knots when it hits the ocean floor. Pretty cool?
— Thank you for that fine forensic analysis, Mr. Bodine. Of course, the experience of it was... somewhat different.
— Incredible. There's Smith and he's standing there and... he's got the iceberg warning in his fucking hand... excuse me... his hand, and he's ordering more speed.
— 26 years of experience working against him.
— Stupid, really. I was leaning over and I slipped. I was leaning far over to see the... Propellers, and I slipped. And I would have gone overboard but Mr. Dawson here... saved me. And almost
went over himself. <...>
— You'll want to tie those. It's interesting... the young lady slipped so suddenly... and you still had time to remove your jacket and your shoes.
