LOVETT
Nathan Hockley, right. Pittsburgh steel tycoon. For a diamond necklace his
son Caledon Hockley bought in France for his fiancee... you... a week before
he sailed on Titanic. And the claim was filed right after the sinking. So
the diamond had to've gone down with the ship.
(to Lizzy)

LIZZY
April 14, 1912.

(to Rose)
And that makes you my new best friend. I will happily compensate you for
