Andrews  smiles  sheepishly.

                                                                      ISMAY

He  knows  every  rivet  in  her,  don't  you  Thomas?

                                                                    ANDREWS

All  three  million  of  them.

                                                                      ISMAY

His  blood  and  soul  are  in  the  ship.  She  may  be  mine  on  paper,  but  in  the

eyes  of  God  she  belongs  to  Thomas  Andrews.

                                                                        ROSE

Your  ship  is  a  wonder,  Mr.  Andrews.  Truly.

                                                                    ANDREWS

Thank  you,  Rose.

We  see  that  Andrews  has  come  under  Rose's  spell.

83  TIME  TRANSITION:  Dessert  has  been  served  and  a  waiter  arrives  with  cigars

in  a  humidor  on  a  wheeled  cart.  The  men  start  clipping  ends  and  lighting.

                                                                        ROSE

                                                              (low,  to  Jack)

Nest  it'll  be  brandies  in  the  Smoking  Room.

                                                                      GRACIE

                                                                    (rising)

Well,  join  me  for  a  brandy,  gentlemen?

                                                                        ROSE

                                                                      (low)

Now  they  retreat  into  a  cloud  of  smoke  and  congratulate  each  other  on  being

masters  of  the  universe.

                                                                      GRACIE

Joining  us,  Dawson?  You  don't  want  to  stay  out  here  with  the  women,  do  you?

Actually  he  does,  but...

                                                                        JACK

No  thanks.  I'm  heading  back.

                                                                        CAL

Probably  best.  It'll  be  all  business  and  politics,  that  sort  of  thing.

Wouldn't  interest  you.  Good  of  you  to  come.

Cal  and  the  other  gentlemen  exit.

                                                                        ROSE

Jack,  must  you  go?

                                                                        JACK

Time  for  my  coach  to  turn  back  into  a  pumpkin.

He  leans  over  to  take  her  hand.

INSERT:  We  see  him  slip  a  tiny  folded  not  into  her  palm.

Ruth,  scowling,  watches  him  walk  away  across  the  enormous  room.  Rose

surreptitiously  opens  the  note  below  table  level.  It  reads:  "Make  it  count.

Meet  me  at  the  clock".

                                                                                                                                        CUT  TO:

84  INT.  A-DECK  FOYER-NIGHT

Rose  crosses  the  A-Deck  foyer,  sighting  Jack  at  the  landing  above.  Overhead

is  the  crystal  dome.  Jack  has  his  back  to  her,  studying  the  ornate  clock

with  its  carved  figures  of  Honor  and  Glory.  It  softly  strikes  the  hour.

MOVING  WITH  ROSE  as  she  goes  up  the  sweeping  staircase  toward  him.  He  turns,

sees  her...  smiles.

                                                                        JACK

Want  to  go  to  a  real  party?

                                                                                                                                        CUT  TO:

85  INT.  THIRD  CLASS  GENERAL  ROOM

Crow  led  and  alive  with  music,  laughter  and  raucous  carrying  on.  An  ad  hoc

band  is  gathered  near  the  upright  piano,  honking  out  lively  stomping  music

on  fiddle,  accordion  and  tambourine.  People  of  all  ages  are  dancing,

drinking  beer  and  wine,  smoking,  laughing,  even  brawling.

Tommy  hands  Rose  a  pint  of  stout  and  she  hoists  it.  Jack  meanwhile  dances

with  5  year  old  Cora  Cartmell,  or  tries  to,  with  her  standing  on  his  feet.
