Titanic (1997)

Greg Ellis: Carpathia Steward

Quotes 

• [as the Carpathia is arriving in New York] 

  Carpathia Steward : Can I take your name, please love?

  Rose : Dawson, Rose Dawson.

• Old Rose : 1500 people went into the sea when Titanic sank from under us. There were 20 boats floating nearby and only one came back, one. Six were saved from the water, myself included. Six out of 1500. Afterward, the 700 people in the boats had nothing to, but wait, wait to die, wait to live, wait for an absolution that would never come.

  [the 700 survivors in the boats are shown, looking mentally and emotionally beaten, as they make their way to the Carpathia; On the Carpathia, Cal comes down to the steerage deck, looking for Rose] 

  Carpathia Steward : Sir, I don't think you'll find any of your people down here. It's all steerage.

  [He walks on by ignoring him] 

  Old Rose : That was the last time I ever saw him. He married, of course, and inherited his millions. But the crash of '29 hit his interest hard and he put a pistol in his mouth that year, or so I read.

  Carpathia Steward : [the Carpathia rides by the Statue of Liberty, with Rose looking up at her]  Can I take your name, please, love.

  Rose : [Turning to him, but keeping herself concealed from Cal and Ruth]  Dawson. Rose Dawson.

  Carpathia Steward : [after writing it down]  Thank you.

  Lewis Bodine : We never found anything on Jack. There's no record of him at all.

  Old Rose : No, there wouldn't be, would there and I've never spoken of him before, not to anyone...

  [to Lizzie] 

  Old Rose : ... Not even your Grandfather.

  [to the whole group] 

  Old Rose : A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets. But now you know there was a man named Jack Dawson and that he saved me in every way a person can be saved. I don't even have a picture of him. He exists now... only in my memory.
