(On the tour of the ship, they come into a gym...)

Gym manager: And this is our new rowing machine. Care to try your hand, madam?

Ruth: Don't be absurd. Can't imagine a skill I should likely need less.

Ruth: Your father left us nothing but a legacy of bad debts hidden by a good name. That name is the only card we have to play. I don't understand you. It is a fine match with Hockley. It will ensure our survival.

Rose: How can you put this on me? Why are you being so selfish?

Ruth: I'm being selfish? Do you want to see me working as a seamstress? Is that what you want? To see our fine things sold at auction? Our memories scattered?

Rose: It's so unfair.

Ruth: Of course it's unfair. We're women. Our choices are never easy.

Cal: You will never behave like that again.

Rose: I'm not one of your mill foremen who you can command. I'm your fiancée.

Cal: My fiancée. My fiancée! Yes, you are! And my wife! My wife in practice, if not yet by law, so you will honor me! You will honor me the way a wife honors her husband. Because I will not be made a fool of.

(Rose is looking at the starry sky and shows a shooting star to Jack...)

Rose: Aren't we suppose to wish on it?

Jack: Why? What would you wish for?

Rose: Something I can't have. Good night, Jack.

Ruth: You find that sort of rootless existence appealing, do you?

Jack: Oh yes, ma'am, I do. I've got everything I need right here with me. I have air in my lungs and a few blank sheets of paper. I love waking up, 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. I don't intend on wasting it. You never know what hand you'll get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you. To make each day count.

Rose: Everybody expects me to be this delicate little flower which I am not! I'm sturdy, I'm strong as a horse. I'm here to do something, not just sit around and be decorative. You see these hands? They were made for work.

Waiter: Care for something, miss? Would you like some tea or some bouillon?

Rose: No!

(Jack laughs)

Rose: There is something in me, Jack. Like a dynamo, I feel it. I don't know what it is whenever I should be an artist on a sculptor or I don't know. A-a dancer like Isadora Duncan or wild pagan spirit. Or a moving picture actress.

Rose: My dream has always been to just run away and become an artist. Living in the garrett, poor but free.

Jack: You wouldn't last two days. There is no hot water and hardly any caviar.

Rose: I happen to hate caviar. And I hate people telling me what dreams I should and shouldn't have.

Ruth (to her friends): The purpose of university is to find a suitable husband. Rose has already done that.

Quote from Titanic (1997) | Rose: Well, you have a gift, Jack. You do. You see people. Jack: I see you. Rose: And? Jack: You wouldn't have jumped.

(Rose is going through Jack's sketchbook...)

Rose: You liked this woman. You used her several times.

Jack: Well. She had beautiful hands, you see?

Rose: I think you must have had a love affair with her.

Jack: No, no, no. Just with her hands. She was a one-legged prostitute. See? She had a good sense of humor though.

Rose: Paris? You do get around for a p... Well, a... a person of limited means.

Jack: Go on. A poor guy. You can say it.

(Jack asks if Rose loves Cal...)

Rose: This is absurd. You don't know me and I don't know you and we are not having this conversation at all. You are rude and uncouth and presumptuous and I am leaving now, Jack. Mr. Dawson. It's been a pleasure. I sought you out to thank you and now I have thanked you.

Jack: And you've insulted me.

Rose: Well, you deserved it.

Jack: Right.

Rose: Right.

Jack: I thought you were leaving.

Rose: I am. You are so annoying. Wait. I don't have to leave. This is my part of the ship. You leave.

Jack: Well, well, well. Now who's being rude?

(Rose shows Jack her engagement ring...)

Jack: God, look at that thing. You would have gone straight to the bottom.

Rose: It was everything. It was my whole world and all the people in it. And the inertia of my life, plunging ahead and me powerless to stop it. I feel I'm standing in the middle of a crowded room screaming at the top of my lungs and no one even looks up.

Rose: Look. I know what you must be thinking. Poor little rich girl. What does she know about misery?

Jack: No. No, that's not what I was thinking. What I was thinking was what could have happened to this girl to make her think she had no way out?
