A scene from Titanic 1997
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]
