"I'm the king of the world!"
"I got everything I need right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen, or who I'm gonna meet, where I'm gonna wind up. Just the other night, I was sleeping under a bridge, and now, here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people. I figured life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it. You never know what hand you're gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you... To make each day count."

"[narrating] I saw my whole life as if I already lived it. An endless parade of parties and cotillions, yachts and polo matches. Always the same narrow people, the same mindless chatter. I felt like I was standing at a great precipice, with no one to pull me back, no one who cared or even noticed."
"1,500 people went into the sea when Titanic sank from under us. There were 20 boats floating nearby and only one came back. One. 6 were saved from the water, myself included. 6... out of 1,500.

"Andrews: About half, actually. I installed these new welin type davits which can take an extra row of boats here...but it was thought, by some, that the deck would look too cluttered, so, I was over-ruled. But you can sleep soundly, young Rose. I have built a ship strong, safe and true. She is as unsinkable as it is possible to make a ship, and she can handle a collision impressively. If the ship ever is sinking, just remember what I told you about these lifeboats. You must decide to get in."
"Andrews: The ship will sink. In an hour, or so...all of this will be at the bottom of the Atlantic."
"Andrews: I'm sorry I couldn't build you a better ship, young Rose."

"Lewis Bodine: [narrating an animation of the Titanic sinking] Okay here we go; she hits the ‘berg on the starboard side, right? She kinda bumps along punching holes like Morse code ‘deet-deet-deet’, along the side, below the water line. Then the forward compartments start to flood. Now as the water level rises it spills over the watertight bulk heads which unfortunately don’t go any higher than E Deck, so now as the bow goes down, the stern rises up. Slow at first then faster and faster until finally she’s got her whole ass is sticking up in the air, and that’s a big ass, we’re talking 20-30,000 TONS. And the hull’s not designed to deal with that pressure so what happens? “KEEG” she splits. Right down to the keel and the stern falls back level. Then as the bow sinks it pulls the stern vertical then finally detaches. Now the stern section kinda bobs there like a cork for a couple of minutes, floods, then finally goes under about 2:20 A.M., 2 hours and 40 minutes after the collision. The bow section planes away landing about half a mile away going 20-30 knots when it hits the ocean floor, “BOOM”. Pretty cool, huh?"
