Caledon Hockley quotes from Titanic (1997)

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 Molly Brown: Hey, uh, who thought of the name Titanic? Was it you, Bruce?
J. Bruce Ismay: Yes, actually. I want to convey sheer size, and size means stability, luxury, and above all, strength.
Rose DeWitt Bukater: Do you know of Dr. Freud, Mr Ismay? His ideas about the male preoccupation with size might be of particular interest to you.
Ruth DeWitt Bukater: [whispering] What's gotten into you?
Rose DeWitt Bukater: Excuse me. [rises and leaves]
Ruth DeWitt Bukater: I do apologize.
Molly Brown: She's a pistol, Cal. Hope you can handle her.
Caledon Hockley: Well, I may have to start minding what she reads from now on, won't I, Mrs. Brown?
J. Bruce Ismay: Freud? Who is he? Is he a passenger?

View Quote Colonel Archibald Gracie: All life is a game of luck.
Caledon Hockley: A real man makes his own luck, Archie. Right, Dawson? [Jack nods]
Ruth DeWitt Bukater: And you find that sort of rootless existence appealing, do you?
Jack Dawson: 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.
Molly Brown: 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]

View Quote Caledon Hockley: I hope you would come to me last night.
Rose DeWitt Bukater: I was tired.
Caledon Hockley: Your exertions below decks were no doubt exhausting.
Rose DeWitt Bukater: I see you had that undertaker of a manservant follow me. How typical.
Caledon Hockley: 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.
Caledon Hockley: 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.
Caledon Hockley: Good. Excuse me.

View Quote Rose DeWitt Bukater: Mr. Andrews, forgive me, I did the sum in my head, and with the number of lifeboats times the capacity you mentioned, forgive me, but it seems that there are not enough for everyone aboard.
Thomas Andrews: About half, actually, you miss nothing Rose, do you? In fact, I put in these new type davits, which could take an extra row of boats inside this one. But it was thought, by some, that the deck would look too clutered. So I was overruled.
Caledon Hockley: A waste of deck space as it is, on an unsinkable ship.
Thomas Andrews: Sleep soundly, young Rose. I have built you a good ship, strong and true. She's all the lifeboats you need.

View Quote Rose DeWitt Bukater: Mr. Andrews! I saw the iceberg and I see it in your eyes. Please, tell me the truth!
Thomas Andrews: The ship will sink.
Rose DeWitt Bukater: You're certain?
Thomas Andrews: Yes, in an hour or so, all this will be at the bottom of the Atlantic.
Caledon Hockley: [shocked] What?
Thomas Andrews: Please tell only who you must. I don't want to be responsible for a panic. And get to a boat quicky, don't wait. You remember what I told you about the boats?
Rose DeWitt Bukater: [shocked] Yes... I understand.

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.

View Quote Caledon Hockley: You're a good liar.
Jack Dawson: Almost as good as you. There's no, uh, there's no arrangement, is there?
Caledon Hockley: No, there is. Not that you'll benefit much from it. I always win, Jack, one way or another.

View Quote Spicer Lovejoy: What could possibly be funny?
Caledon Hockley: [chuckling] I put the diamond in the coat. [pauses] and I put the coat on her! [hands Lovejoy the gun] I give it to you... I give it to you. If you can get them! [runs off]
Spicer Lovejoy: [under his breath] Bastard.
