Dawson. Rose Dawson.

OLD ROSE (V.O.)
Can you exchange one life for another? A caterpillar turns into a into a butterfly. If a mindless insect can do it, why couldn't I? Was it any more unimaginable than the sinking of the Titanic?

We PAN OFF the last picture to Rose herself, warm in her bunk. A profile shot. She is very still. She could be sleeping, or maybe something else.

BLACKNESS

310 THE WRECK OF TITANIC looms like a ghost out of the dark. It is lit by a kind of moonlight, a light of the mind. We pass over the endless forecastle deck to the superstucture, moving faster than subs can move... almost like we are flying.

WE GO INSIDE, and the echoing sound of distant waltz music is heard. The rust fades away from the walls of the dark and it is transformed... WE EMERGE onto the grand staircase, lit by glowing chandelier. The music is vibrent now, and the room is populated by men in tie and tails, women in gowns. It is exquistely beautiful.

IN POV we sweep down the staircase. The crowd of beautiful gentlmen and ladies turn as we desend toward them. At the bottom a man stands with his back toward us... he turns and it is Jack. Smiling he holds his hand out toward us.

IN A SIDE ANGLE Rose goes into his arms, a girl of 17. The passangers, officers, and crew of the RMS Titanic smile and applaud in the utter silence of the abyss.
