Jack, Rose, Fabrizio and Tommy are lost, searching for a way out. They push
past confused passengers... past a mother changing her baby's diaper on top
of an upturned steamer trunk... past a woman arguing heatedly with a man in
Serbo-Croatian, a wailing child next to them... past a man kneeling to
console a woman who is just sitting on the floor, sobbing... and past
another man with an English/Arabic dictionary, trying to figure out what the
signs mean, while his wife and children wait patiently.
Jack et al come upon a narrow stairwell and they go up two decks before they
are stopped by a small group pressed up against a steel gate. The steerage
men are yelling at a scared STEWARD.
STEWARD
Go to the main stairwell, with everyone else. It'll all get sorted out
there.
Jack takes one look at this scene and finally just loses it.
JACK
God damn it to Hell son of a bitch!!
He grabs one end of a bench bolted to the floor on the landing. He starts
pulling on it, and Tommy and Fabrizio pitch in until the bolts shear and it
breaks free. Rose figures out what they are doing and clears a path up the
stairs between the waiting people.
ROSE
Move aside! Quickly, move aside!
Jack and Tommy run up the steps with the bench and RAM IT INTO THE GATE with
all their strength. It rips loose from its track and falls outward, narrowly
missing the steward. Led by Jack, the crowd surges though. Rose steps up to
the cowering steward and says in her most imperious tone:
ROSE
If you have any intention of keeping your pathetic job

with the White Star Line, I suggest you escort these good people to the boat
deck... now.
Class wins out. He nods dumbly motions form them to follow.
CUT TO:
206 EXT. BOAT 6 / TITANIC - NIGHT
Ruth rows with Molly Brown, two other women and the incompetent sailors. She
rests on her oars, exhausted, and looks back at the ship.
It slants down into the water, still ablaze with light. Nothing is above
water forward of the bridge except for the foremast. Another rocket goes
off, lighting up the entire area... there are a dozen boats moving outward
from the ship.
207 AT THE BOAT DECK RAIL Captain Smith is shouting to Boat 6 through a
large metal megaphone.
SMITH
Come back! Come back to the ship!
CHIEF OFFICER WILDE joins him, blowing his silver whistle.
208 FROM BOAT 6 the whistle comes shrilly across the water. Quartermaster
Hitchins grips the rudder in fear.
HITCHINS
The suction will pull us right down if we don't keep going.
MOLLY
We got room for lots more. I say we go back.
HITCHINS
