• Thomas Andrews : Mr. Lightoller, why are the boats being launched half full?

  Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller : Not now, Mr. Andrews.

  Thomas Andrews : Look, 20 or so in a boat built for 65? And I saw one boat with only 12, 12!

  Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller : Well, we weren't sure of the weight, Mr. Andrews. These boats may buckle.

  Thomas Andrews : Rubbish! They were tested in Belfast with the weight of 70 men! Now, fill these boats, Mr. Lightoller, for God's sake, man!

  Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller : Please, I need more women and children, please!

• Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller : [pointing a gun to passengers pushing to the front of the line and get on the lifeboat]  Get back, I say, or I'll shoot you all like dogs! Keep order here! Keep order I say. Mr. Lowe, man this boat.

• Smith : Clear.

  Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller : Yes. I don't think I've ever seen such a flat calm.

  Smith : Like a mill pond, not a breath of wind.

  Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller : It will make the bergs harder to see... with no breaking water at the base.

  Smith : Hmm. Well, I'm off. Mantain speed and heading, Mr. Lightoller.

  Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller : Yes, sir.

• Thomas Andrews : Mr. Lightoller! Why are the boats being launched half full?

  2nd Officer Lightoller : Well, we weren't sure of the weight, Mr. Andrews. These boats may buckle.

  Thomas Andrews : Rubbish. They were tested in Belfast with the weight of seventy men! Now, fill these boats, Mr. Lightoller, for God's sake, man!

  2nd Officer Lightoller : [turns to look at the departing lifeboat; turns back to the crowd]  Please! I need more women and children, please!
