about it... then slogs into the water. The icewater is up to his waist as he
crosses the pool into the dining saloon.
CUT TO:
225 INT. DINING SALOON
Lovejoy moves among the tables and ornate columns, searching... listening...
his eyes tracking rapidly. It is a sea of tables, and they could be
anywhere. A silver serving trolley rolls downhill, bumping into tables and
pillars.
He glances behind him. The water is following him into the room, advancing
in a hundred foot wide tide. The reception room is now a roiling lake, and
the grand staircase is submerged past the first landing. Monstrous groans
echo through the ship.
ON JACK AND ROSE, crouched behind a table, somewhere in the middle. They see
the water advancing toward them, swirling over the floor. They crawl ahead
of it to the next row of tables.
JACK
(whispering)
Stay here.
He moves off as--
Lovejoy moves over one row and looks along the tables. Nothing.
The ship GROANS and CREAKS. He moves another row.
ANGLE ON A METAL CART... five feet tall and full of stacks of china dishes.
It starts to roll down the aisle between tables.
ON ROSE as the cart rolls toward her. It hits a table and the stacks of
dishes topple out, EXPLODING across the floor and showering her.
She scrambles out of the way and--
Lovejoy spins, seeing her. He moves rapidly toward her, keeping the gun
aimed--
That's when Jack tackles him from the side. They slam together into a table,
crashing over it, and toppling to the floor. They land in the water which is
flowing rapidly between the tables.
Jack and Lovejoy grapple in the icy water. Jack jams his knee down on
Lovejoy's hand, breaking his grip on the pistol, and kicks it away. Lovejoy
scrambles up and lunges at him, but Jack GUTPUNCHES him right in the solar
plexus, doubling him over.
JACK
Compliments of the Chippewa Falls Dawsons.
He grabs Lovejoy and slams him into an ornate column. Lovejoy drops to the
floor with a splat, stunned.
JACK
Let's go.
Jack and Rose run aft... uphill... entering the galley. Behind them the
tables have become islands in a lake... and the far end of the room is
flooded up to the ceiling.
Lovejoy gets up and looks around for his gun. He pulls it up out of the
water and wades after them.
CUT TO:
226 INT. GALLEY / STAIRWELL
They run through the galley and Rose spots the stairs. She starts up and
Jack grabs her hand. He leads her DOWN.
They crouch together on the landing as Lovejoy runs to the stairs. Assuming
they have gone up (who wouldn't?) he climbs up them two at a time.
They wait for the footstep to recede. A long CREAKING GROAN. Then they hear
it... a CRYING CHILD. Below them. They go down a few steps to looks along
the next deck.
