• Bobby Buell : Brock! Brock! There's a satellite call for you.

  Brock Lovett : Bobby, we're launching now. See these submersibles going into the water?

  [motions to the subs] 

  Bobby Buell : Trust me, buddy, you wanna take this call.

  [nods seriously as Bobby walks towards the satelitte phone] 

  Brock Lovett : This better be good.

  [follows Bobby to the satellite phone] 

  Bobby Buell : Now, ya gotta speak up, she's kinda old.

  Brock Lovett : Great.

  [picks up phone] 

  Brock Lovett : This is Brock Lovett. How can I help you, Mrs...?

  [turns to Bobby] 

  Bobby Buell : Calvert. Rose Calvert.

  Brock Lovett : ...Mrs. Calvert?

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

  Brock Lovett : [turns to Bobby, completely shocked] 

  Bobby Buell : Told ya ya wanted to take the call.

  Brock Lovett : All right, you have my attention, Rose. Can you tell us who the woman in the picture is?

  Old Rose : Oh yes, the woman in the picture is me!

• Brock Lovett : [Lewis, to old Rose, Lizzy and the rest of his staff]  26 years of experience working against him. He figures anything big enough to sink the ship they're gonna see in time to turn. The ship's too big with too small a rudder. It doesn't corner worth a damn. Everything he knows is wrong.

• Lewis Bodine : She's a goddamn liar! Some nutcase seeking money or publicity, God only knows what. Like that Russian babe, Anesthesia.

  [Mistaken name, intentionally kept in the scene] 

  Lewis Bodine : [walking towards the helicopter with Bobby following behind] 

  Lewis Bodine : Rose DeWitt Bukater died on the Titanic when she was seventeen, right?

  Brock Lovett : That's right.

  Lewis Bodine : If she had lived, she'd be over a hundred by now.

  Brock Lovett : One-hundred and one next month.

  Lewis Bodine : Okay, so she's a very OLD goddamn liar! Look, I've already done the background on this woman all the way back to the twenties, when she was working as an actress. An actress! There's your first clue, Sherlock! Her name was Rose Dawson back then. Then she marries this guy named Calvert, they move to Cedar Rapids and she punches out a couple of kids. Now Calvert's dead, and from what I hear Cedar Rapids is dead!

  Brock Lovett : And everyone who knows about the diamond is supposed to be dead, or on this boat, but she knows!

• [last lines] 

  Brock Lovett : Three years, I've thought of nothing except Titanic; but I never got it... I never let it in.

• Brock Lovett : Dive six, here we are again on the deck of Titanic. Two and a half miles down. Three-thousand, eight hundred and twenty-one meters. The pressure outside is three-and-a-half tons per square inch. These windows are nine inches thick, and if they go, it's sayonara in two micro-seconds.

• Brock Lovett : Seeing her coming out of the darkness like a ghost ship, it still gets me every time.

• Brock Lovett : [talks to himself out loud while holding his camera]  It still gets me every time... to see the sad ruin of the great ship sitting here, where she landed at 2:30 in the morning, April 15, 1912, after her long fall from the world above.

  Lewis Bodine : [snickers]  You are so full of shit, Boss!

  [they both crack up] 

• [first lines] 

  Brock Lovett : Thirteen meters; you should see it.

  Brock Lovett : [seeing the shipwreck come into view for the first time]  OK; take her up and over the bow rail.

• Lewis Bodine : [as he and Mr. Lovett stare in astonishment as Cal's sunken safe]  Oh baby, baby, are you seein' this, boss?

  Brock Lovett : It's pay day, boys.
