something you understand. From this moment you do not exist for me, nor I
for you. You shall not see me again. And you will not attempt to find me. In
return I will keep my silence. Your actions last night need never come to
light, and you will get to keep the honor you have carefully purchased.
She fixes him with a glare as cold and hard as the ice which changed their
lives.
ROSE
Is this in any way unclear?
CAL
(after a long beat)
What do I tell your mother?
ROSE
Tell her that her daughter died with the Titanic.
She stands, turning to the rail. Dismissing him. We see Cal stricken with
emotion.
CAL

We see that in his way, the only way he knows, he does truly love her.
After a moment, he turns and walks away.
