Titanic quotes

Page 1 of 6

God Himself could not sink this ship.
You must promise me that you'll survive, that you won't give up, no matter what happens, no matter how hopeless.
A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets. But now you know there was a man named Jack Dawson, and that he saved me in every way that a person can be saved.

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.

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?

It is me, dear. Wasn't I a dish?

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?

I should imagine someone named Hockley.

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 have gone down with the ship. See the date?

Lizzy

"April 14, 1912".

Which means, if your grandmother is who she says she is, she was wearing the diamond the day the Titanic sank.

[to old Rose]

And that makes you my new best friend.

Benjamin Guggenheim
[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.

Charles Herbert Lightoller

Get back I say, or I'll shoot you all like dogs! Keep order here! Keep order I say. Mr. Lowe, man this boat.

[addressing stewards]

You can't keep us locked in here like animals. The ship's bloody sinking!

About half, actually. I installed these new welin type davits which can take an extra row of boats here...but it was thought, by some, that the deck would look too cluttered, so, I was over-ruled. But you can sleep soundly, young Rose. I have built a ship strong, safe and true. She is as unsinkable as it is possible to make a ship, and she can handle a collision impressively. If the ship ever is sinking, just remember what I told you about these lifeboats. You must decide to get in.

Bobby Buell

Brock! Brock! There's a satellite call for you.

Bobby, we're launching now. You see these submersibles going into the water? [motions to the subs]

Bobby Buell

Trust me, buddy, you wanna take this call.

This better be good.

Bobby Buell

And you gotta speak up, she's kinda old

Great. [on the phone] This is Brock Lovett. How can help you, Mrs... ? [turns to Bobby]

Bobby Buell

Calvert. Rose Calvert.

Mrs. Calvert?

I was just wondering if you had found the "Heart of the Ocean" yet, Mr. Lovett.

Bobby Buell
[Brock turns to Buell, completely shocked]

Told you you wanted to take this call.

Alright. You have my attention, Rose. Can you tell us who the woman in the picture is?

Oh yes. The woman in the picture is me.

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.

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?

It is me, dear. Wasn't I a dish?

I hope you would come to me last night.

Rose DeWitt Bukater

I was tired.

Your exertions below decks were no doubt exhausting.

Rose DeWitt Bukater

I see you had that undertaker of a manservant follow me. How typical.

You will never behave like that again, Rose. Do you understand?

Rose DeWitt Bukater

I'm not a foreman in one of your mills that you can command. I'm you fiancee.

My fian... My fiancee! (Upending the breakfast table out of the way in rage, breaking everything breakable) Yes, of course you are, and my wife. My wife in practice if not yet by law, so you will honor me. (Pushes his menacing face close to Rose) You will honor me the way a wife is required to honor a husband. Because I will not be made out a fool, Rose. Is this in any way unclear?

Rose DeWitt Bukater

No.

Good. Excuse me.

Colonel Archibald Gracie
[after Jack saves Rose]

Well, the boy's a hero then! Good for you, son. Well done. So it's all's well and back to our brandy, eh?

Colonel Archibald Gracie

All life is a game of luck.

A real man makes his own luck, Archie. Right, Dawson? [Jack nods]

And you find that sort of rootless existence appealing, do you?

Well, yes, ma'am, I do... I mean, I got everything I need right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen or, who I'm gonna meet, where I'm gonna wind up. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people. I figure life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it. You don't know what hand you're gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you... to make each day count.

Well said, Jack.

Colonel Archibald Gracie

Hear, hear!

Rose DeWitt Bukater
[holds up her champagne]

To make it count.

Everyone
[holds up their champaigns to Jack]

To make it count! [Jack smiles, holds up his champagne and everyone drinks]
