Yeah, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death--
JACK
You wanna walk a little faster through that valley, fella?
CUT TO:
252 EXT. FORWARD FUNNEL
The stay cables along the top of the funnel snap, and they lash like steel
whips down into the water. Cal watches as the funnel topples from its
mounts. Falling like a temple pillar twenty eight feet across it whomps into
the water with a tremendous splash. People swimming underneath it disappear
in an instant.
Fabrizio, a few feet away, is hurled back by a huge wave. He comes up,
gasping... still swimming. The water pouring into the open end of the funnel
draws in several swimmers. The funnel sinks, disappearing, but--
Hundreds of tons of water pour down through the 30 foot hole where the
funnel stood, thundering down into the belly of the ship. A whirlpool forms,
a hole in the ocean, like at enormous toiler-flush. T. W. McCauley, the gym
instructor swims in a frenzy as the vortex draws him in. He is sucked down
like a spider going down a drain.
Fabrizio, nearby, swims like Hell as more people are sucked down behind him.
He manages to get clear. He's going to live no matter what it takes.
CUT TO:
253 INT. BOAT DECK FOYER / GRAND STAIRCASE
Water roars through the doors and windows, cascading down the stairs like a
rapids. John Jacob Astor is swept down the marble steps to A-Deck, which is
already flooded... a roiling vortex. He grabs the headless cherub at the
bottom of the staircase and wraps his arms around it.
Astor looks up in time to see the 30 foot glass dome overhead EXPLODE INWARD
with the wave of water washing over it. A Niagara of sea water thunders down
into the room, blasting through the first class opulence. IT is the
Armageddon of elegance.
CUT TO:
254 OMITTED
255 INT. BELOWDECKS
The flooding is horrific. Walls and doors are splintered like kindling.
Water roars down corridors with pile-driver force.
The CARTMELL FAMILY is at the top of a stairwell, jammed against a locked
gate like Jack and Rose were. Water boils up the stairwell behind them. Bert
Cartmell shakes the gate futilely, shouting for help. Little Cora wails as
the water boils up around them all.
CUT TO:
256 EXT. STERN
Rose and Jack struggle to climb the well deck stairs as the ship tilts.
Drunk Baker Joughin puts a hand squarely on Rose's butt and shoves her up
onto the deck.
JOUGHIN
Sorry, miss!
Hundreds of people are already on the poop deck, and more are pouring up
every second. Jack and Rose cling together as they struggle across the
tilting deck.
257 As the bow goes down, the STERN RISES. IN BOAT 2, which is just off the
stern, passengers gape as the giant bronze propellers rise out of the water
