These are some lines that were cut from the original script during the
scene in which Lovett and Bodine are trying to get Rose to tell them
what she knows about the "Heart of the Ocean."
Lovett: I will happily compensate you for anything you can tell us that
will lead to its recovery.
Rose: I don't want your money, Mr. Lovett. I know how hard it is for
people who care greatly for money to give some away.
Bodine (skeptical): You don't want anything?
Rose (indicating the drawing): You may give me this, if anything I tell
you is of value.
Lovett: Deal
This Lost Scene takes place as Cal, Ruth, and Rose are boarding Titanic.
"Cal is jostled by two steerage boys who shove past him. And he is bumped
again a second later by the boy's father."
Cal: Steady!!
Man: Sorry squire!
Cal: Steerage swine. Apparently missed his annual bath.
Ruth: Honestly, Cal, if you weren't forever booking everything at the last
instant, we could have gone through the main terminal instead of running
along the dock like some squalid immigrant family.
Cal: All part of my charm, Ruth. At any rate, it was my darling fiancee's
beauty rituals which made us late.
Rose: You told me to change.
Cal: I couldn't let you wear black on sailing day, sweetpea. It's bad luck.
Rose: I felt like black.
Cal: Here I've pulled every string I could to book us on the grandest ship
in history, in her most luxurious suites and you act as if you're going to
your execution.
The following scene takes place in the bedroom, with Rose unpacking her
things as her maid, Trudy helps.
Trudy: It smells so new. Like they built it all just for us. I mean...
just to think that tonight, when I crawl between the sheets, I'll be the
first--
Cal (looking at Rose): And when I crawl between the sheets tonight, I'll
still be the first.
Trudy (blushing at the innuendo): S'cuse me, Miss.
Cal: The first and only forever.
"Rose's expression shows how bleak a prospect this is for her, now."
The following is a set of stage directions for a scene with no dialogue
which was not in the film. It starts out where Rose is having dinner
with her family on the second night out. There is camera shot beneath
the table as the following is taking place:
"ANGLE BENEATH TABLE showing Rose's hand, holding a tiny fork from her
crab salad. She pokes the crab-fork into the skin of her arm, harder
and harder until it draws blood."
"Rose walks along the corrider. A steward coming the other way greets
her, and she nods with a slight smile. She is perfectly composed."
"(Rose's Bedroom) She enters the room. Stands in the middle, staring
at her reflection in the large vanity mirror. Just stands there, then--
With a primal, anguished cry she claws at her throat, ripping off her
pearl necklace, which explodes across the room. In a frenzy, she tears at
herself, her clothes, her hair...then attacks the room. She flings
everything off the dresser and it flies clattering against the wall. She
hurls a handmirror against the vanity, cracking it."
Next scene was originally after Cal had given Rose "The Heart of the Ocean."
We are now back in present day with Old Rose describing the necklace to
Lovett and Company.
Old Rose: After all these years, [I can still] feel it closing around
my throat like a dog collar. I can still feel its weight. If you could
have felt it, not just seen it...
Lovett: Well, that's the general idea, my dear.
Bodine: So let me get this right. You were gonna kill yourself by jumping
off the Titanic? (he guffaws) That's great!!
Lovett (warningly): Lewis...
But Rose laughs with Bodine.
Bodine (still laughing): All you had to do was wait two days
Lovett: Rose, tell us more about the diamond. What did Hockley do with it
after that?
Rose: I'm afraid I'm feeling a little tired, Mr. Lovett.
Lovett: Wait! Can you give us something to go here. Like who had access to
the safe. What about this Lovejoy guy? The valet. Did he have the
combination?
Lizzy: That's enough.
The next day. Lovett is talking to one of the people he is working with.
Buell: The partners are pissed.
Brock: Bobby, buy me time. I need time.
Buell: We're running thirty thousand a day, and we're six days over. I'm
telling you what they're telling me. The hand is on the plug. It's
starting to pull.
Brock: Well you tell the hand I need another two days! Bobby, Bobby, Bobby...
We're close! I smell it. I smell ice. She had the diamond on..now we just
have to find out where it wound up. I just gotta work her a bit more. Okay?
Brock sees Lizzy behind him.
Brock: Hey, Lizzy. I need to talk to you for a second.
Lizzy: Don't you mean work me?
Brock: Look, I'm running out of time. I need your help.
Lizzy: I'm not going to help you browbeat my hundred and one year old
grandmother. I came down here to tell you to back off.
Brock: Lizzy, you gotta understand something. I've bet it all to find
the Heart of the Ocean. I've got all my dough tied up in this thing.
My wife even divorced me over this hunt. I need what's locked inside your
grandma's memory.
(He Holds out his hand)
You see this? Right here? That's the shape my hand's gonna be when I hold
that thing. You understand? I'm not leaving here without it.
Lizzy: Look, Brock, she's going to do this her way, in her own time. Don't
forget, she contacted you. She's out here for her own reasons. God knows
what they are.
Lovett: Maybe she wants to make peace with the past.
Lizzy: What past? She has never once, ever said a word about being on the
Titanic until two days ago.
Lovett: Then we're all meeting your grandmother for the first time.
Lizzy: You think she was really there?
Lovett: Oh yeah, yeah I'm a believer, she was there.
This scene was to have taken place the day after Rose was going to jump off
the Titanic. She is going down into third class to find Jack and thank him
for what he did for her. This contains many stage directions as well as
dialogue.
Old Rose: The next day, Saturday, I remember thinking how the sunlight felt.
Match dissolve from the rustling hulk to the gleaming new Titanic in 1912,
passing the end of the enclosed promenade just as Rose walks into the
sunlight right in front of us. She is dressed stunningly and walking with
purpose.
Old Rose (V.O.): As if I hadn't felt the sun in years.
It is Saturday, April 13, 1912. Rose unlatches the gate to go down into
third class. The steerage men on the deck stop what they are doing and
stare at her.
THIRD CLASS GENERAL ROOM:
The social center of steerage life. It is stark by comparison to the
opulence of first class, but it is a loud, boisterous place. There are
mothers with babies, kids running between the benches yelling in several
languages and being scolded in several more. There are old women yelling,
men playing chess, girls doing needlepoint and reading dime novels. There
is even an upright piano and Tommy Ryan is noodling around it.
Three boys, shrieking and shouting, are scrambling around chasing a rat
under the benches, trying to whomp it with a shoe and causing general havoc.
Jack is playing with five year old Cora Cartwell, drawing funny faces
together in his sketchbook.
Fabrizio is struggling to get a conversation going with an attractive
Norwegian girl, Helga Dahl, sitting with her family at a table across the
room.
Fabrizio: No Italian? Some little English?
Helga: No, no, Norwegian only.
Helga's gaze is caught by something. Fabrizio looks, does a take...and
Jack, curious, follows thier gaze to see...
Rose, coming toward them. The activity in the room stops...a hush falls.
Rose suddenly feels self-conscious as the steerage passengers stare openly
at this princess, some with resentment, others with awe. She spots Jack and
gives a little smile, walking straight to him. He rises to meet her, smiling.
Rose: Hello, Jack
Fabrizio and Tommy are floored. It's like the slipper fitting Cinderella.
Jack: Hello again.
Rose: Could I speak with you in private?
Jack: Oh, yes. Of course, after you.
He motions her ahead and follows. Jack glances over his shoulder, one
eyebrow raised as he walks out with her leaving a stunned silence.
This scene takes place as Jack and Rose are walking along the boat deck
getting to know each other. Rose is discussing with Jack the dreams that
she always had for her life.
Rose: You know, my dream has always been to just chuck it all and become
an artist...living in a garret, poor but free.
Jack (laughing): You wouldn't last two days. There's no hot water, and
hardly any caviar.
Rose (angry in a flash): Listen buster...I hate caviar! And I'm tired
of people dismissing my dreams with a chuckle and a pat on the head.
Jack: I'm sorry, really I am.
Rose: Well, alright. There's something in me Jack. I feel it. I don't
know what it is, whether I should be an artist, or I don't know...a dancer.
Like Isadora Duncan...a wild pagan spirit....Or a moving picture actress!!!
She takes his hand and runs, pulling him along the deck toward--
Daniel and Mary Marvin. Daniel is cranking the big wooden movie camera as
she poses stiffly at the rail.
Marvin: You're sad, sad, sad. You've left your lover on the shore. You may
never see him again. Try to be sadder, darling.
Suddenly Rose shoots into the shot and strikes a theatrical pose at the rail
next to Mary. Mary bursts out laughing. Rose pulls Jack into the picture
and makes him pose.
Marvin grins and starts yelling and gesturing.
DURING A MUSICAL SEQUENCE:
Rose posing tragically at the rail, the back of her hand to her forehead.
Jack, on the deck chair, pretending to be Pasha, the two girls fanning him
like slave girls.
Jack, on his knees, pleading with his hands clasped while Rose, standing,
turns her head in bored disdain.
Rose, cranking the camera, while Daniel and Jack have a western shoot-out.
Jack wins and peers into the lens, twirling an air mustache like Snidely
Whiplash.
It is now Saturday night and this scene was filmed after the first class party.
It did not make the final cut for the film.
The stars blaze overhead, so bright and clear you can see the Milky Way. Rose
and Jack walk along the row of lifeboats. Still giddy from the party, they are
singing a popular song "Come Josephine in my Flying Machine."
Jack and Rose: Come Josephine in my flying Machine, And it's up she goes! Up
she goes! In the air she goes. Where? There she goes!
They fumble the words and break down laughing. They have reached the first class
Entrance, but don't go straight in, not wanting the night to end. Through the
doors the sound of the ship's orchestra wafts gently. Rose grabs a davit and leans
back, staring at the cosmos.
Rose: Isn't it magnificent? So grand and endless.
(She goes to the rail and leans on it.)
Rose: They're such small people, Jack... My crowd. They think they're giants on
earth, but they're not even dust in God's eye. They live inside this little tiny
champagne bubble...and someday the bubble's going to burst.
He leans at the rail, next to her, his hand touching hers. It is the slightest
contact imaginable, and all either one of them can feel is that square inch of
skin where their hands are touching.
Jack: You're not one of them. There's been a mistake.
Rose: A mistake?
Jack: You got mailed to the wrong address.
Rose (laughing): I did, didn't I?
Rose (con't, suddenly pointing): Look! A shooting star.
Jack: That was a long one. My father used to say that whenever you saw one,
it was a soul going to heaven.
Rose: I like that. Aren't we suppossed to wish on it?
Jack looks at her and finds that they are suddenly very close together.
It would be so easy to move another couple of inches, to kiss her. Rose seems
to be thinking the same thing.
Jack: What would you wish for?
Rose (pulling back): Something I can't have. Goodnight Jack and Thank you..
She leaves the rail and hurries through the first class entrance.
Jack: Rose!!!
But the door bangs shut and she is gone. Back to her world.
