Titanic quotes

View Quote Fifteen hundred people went into the sea when Titanic sank from under us. There were twenty boats floating nearby and only one came back. One. Six were saved from the water, myself included. Six... out of fifteen hundred. Afterward, the seven hundred people in the boats had nothing to do but wait. Wait to die, wait to live, wait for an absolution that would never come.

View Quote Molly Brown: Come on, sister, you heard the man, into the boat.
Caledon Hockley: Any room for a gentleman, gentlemen?
Henry T. Wilde: Only women at this time, sir.
Ruth DeWitt Bukater: Will the lifeboats be seated according to class. I hope they're not too crowded.
Rose DeWitt Bukater: Oh, mother, shut up! Don't you understand? The water's freezing and there aren't enough boats. Not enough by half. Half the people on this ship are going to die.
Caledon Hockley: Not the better half.
Molly Brown: Come on, Ruth, get in the boat. First-class seats are right up here.
Caledon Hockley: You know, it's a pity I didn't keep that drawing, It'll be worth a lot more by morning.
Rose DeWitt Bukater: You unimaginable bastard!
Molly Brown: Come on, Rose, darlin', there's plenty of room for you. Come on, Rose. You're next, darlin'.
Ruth DeWitt Bukater: Come into the boat, Rose. Rose, get into the boat!
Rose DeWitt Bukater: Good bye, mother.
Ruth DeWitt Bukater: Rose, come back here, right now!
Caledon Hockley: Where are you going? To him? To be a whore to a gutter rat?
Rose DeWitt Bukater: I'd rather be his whore than your wife.

Tommy Ryan: Like we couldn't forget. I'm Tommy Ryan.
Jack Dawson: Jack Dawson.
Fabrizio De Rossi: Fabrizio.
Tommy Ryan: Do you make any money with your drawings.

View Quote Caledon Hockley: You're a good liar.

Caledon Hockley: No, there is. Not that you'll benefit much from it. I always win, Jack, one way or another.

View Quote [Jack teaches Rose how to spit]
Rose DeWitt Bukater: Mother! May I introduce Jack Dawson?
Ruth DeWitt Bukater: Charmed, I'm sure.
Old Rose: [voice in off] The others were gracious and curious about the man who had saved my life. But my mother looked at him like an insect. A dangerous insect which must be squashed quickly.
Molly Brown: Well, Jack, it sounds like you're a good man to have around in a sticky spot-- [a bugler sounds the meal call] Why do they always insist on announcing dinner like a damn cavalry charge?
Rose DeWitt Bukater: Shall we go dress, mother. See you at dinner, Jack.

View Quote Old Rose: That was the last time Titanic ever saw daylight.
Brock Lovett: So we're up to dusk on the night of the sinking. Six hours to go.
Lewis Bodine: Incredible. There's Smith and he's standing there and he's got the iceberg warning in his ****ing hand, excuse me, his hand, and he ordering more speed.
Brock Lovett: Twenty-six years of experience working against him. He figures anything big enough to sink the ship, they're gonna see in time to turn. The ship's too big with too small a rudder. It doesn't corner worth a damn. Everything he knows is wrong.

View Quote Captain Edward J. Smith: Take her to sea, Mr. Murdoch. Let's stretch her legs.
William McMaster Murdoch: Yes, sir! Ahead full, Mr. Moody.

(Olaf reveals his hand)

View Quote Brock 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 Calvert: [looking at Rose's drawing] You actually believe this is you, nana?
Old Rose: It is me, dear. Wasn't I a dish?

View Quote Rose DeWitt Bukater: Mr. Dawson, I--
Jack Dawson: Just call me Jack.
Rose DeWitt Bukater: Jack, I want to thank you for what you did. Not just for pulling me back, but your discretion.
Jack Dawson: You're welcome.
Rose DeWitt Bukater: Look, I know what you must be thinking. "Poor little rich girl, what does she know about misery?"
Jack Dawson: 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 DeWitt Bukater: It was everything. It was my whole world and all the people in it, and the intertia of my life. Plunging ahead and me powerless to stop it. [shows Jack her engagement ring]
Jack Dawson: God, look at that thing! You would've gone straight to the bottom.

View Quote Rose DeWitt Bukater: Teach me to ride like a man.
Jack Dawson: [Southern accent] And chew tobacco like a man.
Rose DeWitt Bukater: [Southern accent] And spit like a man!
Jack Dawson: What, they didn't teach you that while finishing school?
Rose DeWitt Bukater: [chuckling] No!

View Quote Rose DeWitt Bukater: I don't see what all the fuss is about. It doesn't look any bigger than the Mauretania.
Caledon Hockley: You can be blas? about some things, Rose, but not about Titanic. It's over a hundred feet longer than the Mauritania and far more luxurious. Your daughter is far too difficult to impress, Ruth.
Ruth DeWitt Bukater: So this is the ship they say is unsinkable.
Caledon Hockley: It is unsinkable. God himself could not sink this ship.

View Quote Rose DeWitt Bukater: The last thing I need is another picture of me looking like a porcelain doll. [throws Jack a dime] As a paying customer, I expect to get what I want. [stands nude in front of Jack]
Jack Dawson: All right! Over on the bed - the couch. [Rose does so] Come, lie down.
Rose DeWitt Bukater: Just tell me when it's right.
Jack Dawson: Put your arm back the way it was. [Rose does so] Now put the arm right over there. That hand, by your face there. [Rose does so] All right. Now, head down. [Rose lowers her head down] Eyes close on me. You try to stay still. [starts sketching]
