Molly Brown quotes from Titanic (1997)

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?

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 Molly Brown: [helps Jack put on a tuxedo] I was right. You and my son are just about the same size.
Jack Dawson: Pretty close.
Molly Brown: You shine up like a new penny.

View Quote Jack Dawson: [about his silverware dinner] Are these all for me?
Molly Brown: Just start from the outside and work your way in.

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 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.
