Titanic

"Happy Maiden Voyage."

Mr and Mrs John Jacob Astor, Stateroom A-56.

- Not so fancy as some. Only bluebells. - Have a look.

"From the woods of Windsor Castle." Blimey!

Devonshire cream for Mr Benjamin Guggenheim. Drop it at the icebox.

"Happy Maiden Voyage, Mr Guggenheim."

"Happy Maiden Voyage." They're in a bloomin' rut!

"Captain EJ Smith." Deliver this to the bridge, and hop to it!

"Mr and Mrs Straus."

With this lot we're taking on from the Continent, we'll have 2200 aboard.

It's thick weather in the harbour. But it'll be clear when you get out.

Cherbourg to New York.

- You'll go by the Great Circle route. - Yes. A southern track.

A fine start, Captain. This is excellent tea.

As to your running time, we know you'll exercise prudence.

However, the company wouldn't resent a record run.

They're good engines, sir. Any other instructions?

With a ship like this, there isn't much to be said, except good luck.

- And I wish I could go with you. - Perhaps next time, sir.

Yes. But that isn't a first sailing.

- For you, sir. - I suppose my wife dug up an extra shirt.

"From Henry Evans, Benbecula, The Hebrides."

Captain Henry Evans. I thought he was dead.

It flew from the mainmast of the old Star of Madagascar, nearly 40 years ago.

I joined as an apprentice. She was a fine sea boat.

Shall we hoist it, sir?

She's not top issue nowadays. But up she goes.

Mr Sanderson.

Looks pretty good at that.

The tender is coming out from Cherbourg, sir.

Mr Sanderson will go ashore on the tender. Will you show him to the gangway?

- Well, Captain, she's all yours. - Goodbye, sir.

Mind your helm! Steady as you go.

Julia. Julia!

- Sandy. I thought you were in Biarritz. - My beautiful Julia, to these ears,

- Biarritz has become a dirty word. - How much did you lose this time?

Well, these are borrowed trousers. Where's your husband?

- He didn't come. - Good. - Maybe we can 'cause a scandal.

I'm afraid I brought the children.

I thought you were taking a house at Deauville.

I changed my mind. Annette! Norman!

Sandy! Quel plaisir de vous voir ici.

- She means "Hello". - Norman.

Good afternoon, sir. I have to go to the starboard side

to see the Marconi aerial.

Stay right here. I'll try to get a chair.

Oh, John, I'm not the first woman in the world who's going to have a baby.

As far as I'm concerned you are.

Forgive me, Mr Astor, but if you're looking for a chair, perhaps my suitcase would do.

- Why, thank you. - Mr Astor, my name's Earl Meeker.

- Yes. Thank you. - I'm looking for the Widener maid.

The maid of Mrs Widener. Is Mrs Widener's maid around?

The Wideners? I think I saw them over there.

I'm looking for the Widener maid. I'm looking for the Widener maid.

Widener maid. I'm looking for the Widener maid.

Well, don't look at me! I got so many maids,

some of the maids take care of the maids.

Can't say I blame the poor fella.

I just haven't got the kind of a face that goes with a bankroll.

I'll flash my badge and blind a few people.

My name's Maude Young, Montana lead mines.

Seasick? That some kind of a cure?

No, it doesn't cure anything.

No running, no pushing!

Merci. I'll pick that up.

Have your boarding tickets ready! Passagers, attention!

La vedette bientot vient de retourner pour prendre les passagers de troisieme classe.

Mettez-vous devant la passerelle.

Ne courez pas, ne vous poussez pas.

Prenez vos billets d'embarquement.

I'm Richard Ward Sturges. I want to arrange passage.

On the Titanic? I'm sorry, sir. This first trip has been sold out since March.

My congratulations. However, I must be on that ship.

I'd like to help you, sir, but I'm sorry.

- Cuida la ninita. - Cuidadito con el camastro.

- No puedo hacer todo, eh? - Es muy pesado.

Perdon. You are Spanish?

- We are Basque. - From wine country.

We go to California, Oregon perhaps. Start grapes, make good wine.

- You have land there? - We buy little piece.

Well, it needn't be such a little piece. Now, you give me that ticket,

and there's enough money here to buy five times as much land.

Madam, there's nothing to discuss.

He can take the next boat and join you in a week or so. One boat's as good as another.

All right, I can always get someone else.

Now, just stop and think. How many years would it take you to buy 100 acres?

Now, go into one of your tribal huddles and convince your wife.

Thank you, Mr...

- Uzcadum. - You've done me a great favour.

Tender alongside. Prepare for boarding.

Stand by main elevators.

Let every good fellow now fill up his glass, vive la compagnie.

And drink to the health of our glorious class, vive la compagnie.

Vive la, vive la, vive I'amour, vive la, vive la, vive I'amour.

Vive I'amour, vive I'amour, vive la compagnie.

Hey! Look at the one in the fur hat.

She's mine. You get the one way back there.

Don't fight. There's plenty to go around.

Come on.

I'm the steward assigned to you, lady. Just call me Giff Rogers. Carry your bag?

Shouldn't you be in school somewhere?

Come on, let's beat the rush.

Drinks and draw for the first watch. Hurry up, Dan.

Keep it honest, keep it fair. Come on, come on, come on.

Well, chaps, here we go.

- Don't trouble yourselves. Lucky Lightoller. - Same old story.

Mr Murdoch, Mr Wilde, Dan, remove your bottles. It's my treat.

It's a pleasure.

All passengers aboard. Stations for departure.

- Very good, Thompson. - Away you go, old man.

And remember, first watch, first man with the ladies.

Fire all boilers! Have a go, mates. Bend your back.

- Slow ahead all. - Slow ahead all, sir.

- Steady as she goes. - Steady as she goes, Quartermaster.

Steady as she goes, sir.

- Full ahead all. - Full ahead all, sir.

- Full speed ahead from the bridge, sir. - All right. Carry on!

Let her have it!

- Finish stations. Secure fore and aft. - Finish stations. Secure fore and aft.

All right, Mr Lightoller.

- You may take her to sea. - Aye aye, sir.

Hey, you can't come up here. This is for first class only.

I'll do my best to behave properly.

Oh, sir. Mr Sturges. You don't remember me, but I was on the Queen Alexandria.

Of course. Your name is Emma, your daughter is married to a dentist in Plymouth.

- What's the number of Mrs Sturges' cabin? - Stateroom A-52/54. It's right over here.

- But they've gone up to dinner now, sir. - Richard!

- John. Madeleine, my beautiful peacock. - This is a surprise.

Yes, it is. John, I'd like to borrow a shirt and use your razor.

I'm wearing my complete wardrobe. I left in a hurry.

- Help yourself. Take whatever you need. - Oh, one more thing.

If you happen to see Julia, I'd rather you didn't tell her I'm aboard.

I'd like to tell her myself.

"Jean Pablo Uzcadum"?

I said, " What do you want him to do? Flap his wings?"

Mama, you should have protested. It's a really bad table.

There's not a person we know at this end.

Be brave, Annette. These tragedies happen sometimes in life.

Maitire d'hotel, where is Mrs Sturges' table?

Mother. Look!

Well, well. This ship is filled with nice people.

- Hello, Mr Sturges. - Richard!

Pommery, 1892.

Mrs Straus, be careful of this old fox. He has plans.

- Father! How did you get aboard? - Norman.

By the back door. Good to see you, boy.

- Hello, Sandy. - Well... I can see a bridge game at last.

Mrs Widener. George.

- Annette. - Father.

Julia. You all look splendid, and this is going to be great fun.

- I'll get us a better table tomorrow. - Daddy, I'm so glad you're here.

I hope this doesn't upset your plans, Julia. But Norman and I can bunk together.

It's wonderful that you could get away.

- My family will be pleased. - It makes it a better celebration already.

Can I send a message to Grandfather? They have a wireless place upstairs.

Might be a good idea. Run along.

Nothing now, thank you. I'll have a sandwich in the bar.

Annette, I wonder if you'd get a wrap for your mother.

Yes, angel.

Something funny about you, Father. I know.

I've never seen you without a flower before.

Finish your coffee, Julia.

We can walk on deck while I tell you what I think of your performance.

I'm in no hurry to finish my coffee, and not too interested in your opinion.

If I hadn't phoned the house, you'd have got away with it.

Will you explain why you're kidnapping my children?

- I'm not. I'm rescuing them. - From what?

- From you. - That was my guess.

This family reunion story is a deliberate trick to get them away.

It is. And they're never going back.

They're going to stop being rootless hotel children.

- What's wrong with hotels? - Oh, Richard, I...

Richard, please try to see this sanely. We're Americans. We belong in America.

And yet for years we've been galloping all over Europe to be in the proper places.

Winter in St Moritz, Deauville in season, summer in...

What's the use? The same silly calendar, year after year.

- Look at Annette. - I have, with great pride.

She's entertaining, she's discriminating, she has grace and style.

She's an arrogant little prig.

So you've chosen to drag her back to the glories of Mackinac, Michigan.

Any town in any state becomes comic on your lips.

But that's where she's going.

To a big, ugly, pleasant house with the scent of lilacs around it.

Oh, don't worry. She won't turn out dowdy. She'll meet dozens of nice boys.

I have something better in mind for her than being tied down to a lumber salesman.

I know what you have in mind.

I've seen a great many international marriages, but never a happy one.

I don't want to seem over-eager, but, uh, could we...?

Not tonight, Sandy, thank you. More coffee, Julia?

Do you think Annette will be grateful to you for hauling her into the wilderness?

In time. And as for Norman, I can only tell you this

there's not going to be a carriage waiting for him at 9am every morning.

From now on, he's going to walk to school.

Hm. I should have anticipated this.

20 years ago, I made the mistake of thinking I could civilise a girl

who bought her hats out of a Sears, Roebuck catalogue.

I was wrong. And don't think I haven't had my share of regrets.

One thing, Richard. You've... you've always been honest.

Will this one do? Where's Father?

Never mind. It's bedtime. Come on. It's been a long day.
