                                                                        ROSE

Something  I  can't  have.

                                                          (she  smiles  sadly)

Goodnight,  Jack.  And  thank  you.

She  leaves  the  rail  and  hurries  through  the  First  Class  Entrance.

                                                                        JACK

Rose!!

But  the  door  bangs  shut,  and  she  is  gone.  Back  to  her  world.

                                                                                                                                        CUT  TO:

89  INT.  ROSE  AND  CAL'S  SUITE  /  PRIVATE  PROMENADE  -  DAY

SUNDAY  APRIL  14,  1912.  A  bright  clear  day.  Sunlight  splashing  across  the

promenade.  Rose  and  Cal  are  having  breakfast  in  silence.  The  tension  is

palpable.  Trudy  Bolt,  in  her  maid's  uniform,  pours  the  coffee  and  goes

inside.

                                                                        CAL

I  had  hoped  you  would  come  to  me  last  night.

                                                                        ROSE

I  was  tired.

                                                                        CAL

Yes.  Your  exertions  below  decks  were  no  doubt  exhausting.

                                                                        ROSE

                                                                (stiffening)

I  see  you  had  that  undertaker  of  a  manservant  follow  me.

                                                                        CAL

You  will  never  behave  like  that  again!  Do  you  understand?

                                                                        ROSE

I'm  not  some  foreman  in  your  mills  than  you  can  command!  I  am  your  fiancee--

Cal  explodes,  sweeping  the  breakfast  china  off  the  table  with  a  crash.  He

moves  to  her  in  one  shocking  moment,  glowering  over  her  and  gripping  the

sides  of  her  chair,  so  she  is  trapped  between  his  arms.

                                                                        CAL

Yes!  You  are!  And  my  wife...  in  practice,  if  not  yet  by  law.  So  you  will

honor  me,  as  a  wife  is  required  to  honor  her  husband!  I  will  not  be  made  out

a  fool!  Is  this  in  any  way  unclear?

Rose  shrinks  into  the  chair.  She  sees  Trudy,  frozen,  partway  through  the

door  bringing  the  orange  juice.  Cal  follows  Rose's  glance  and  straightens

up.  He  stalks  past  the  maid,  entering  the  stateroom.

                                                                        ROSE

We...  had  a  little  accident.  I'm  sorry,  Trudy.

                                                                                                                                        CUT  TO:

90  INT.  RUTH'S  SUITE  -  DAY

Rose  is  dressed  for  the  day,  and  is  in  the  middle  of  helping  Ruth  with  her

corset.  The  tight  bindings  do  not  inhibit  Ruth's  fury  at  all.

                                                                        RUTH

You  are  not  to  see  that  boy  again,  do  you  understand  me  Rose?  I  forbid  it!

Rose  has  her  knee  at  the  base  of  her  mother's  back  and  is  pulling  the  corset

strings  with  both  hands.

                                                                        ROSE

Oh,  stop  it,  Mother.  You'll  give  yourself  a  nosebleed.

Ruth  pulls  away  from  her,  and  crosses  to  the  door,  locking  it.  CLACK!

                                                                        RUTH

                                                          (wheeling  on  her)

Rose,  this  is  not  a  game!  Our  situation  is  precarious.  You  know  the  money's

gone!

                                                                        ROSE

Of  course  I  know  it's  gone.  You  remind  me  every  day!

                                                                        RUTH

Your  father  left  us  nothing  but  a  legacy  of  bad  debts  hidden  by  a  good  name.
