Tommy has his hands on the bars of the steel gate which blocks the head of
the stairwell. The crew open the gate a foot or so and a few women are
squeezing through.
STEWARD #2
Women only. No men. No men!!
But some terrified men, not understanding English, try to rush through the
gap, forcing the gate open. The crewmen and stewards push them back, shoving
and punching them.
STEWARD #2
Get back! Get back you lot!
(to the crewmen)
Lock it!!
They struggle to get the gate closed again, while Steward #2 brandishes a
small revolver. Another holds a fire axe. They lock the gate, and a cry goes
up among the crowd, who surge forward, pounding against the steel and
shouting in several languages.
TOMMY
For the love of God, man, there are children down here! Let us up, so we can
have a chance!
But the crewmen are scared now. They have let the situation get out of hand,
and now they have a mob. Tommy gives up and pushes his way back through the
crowd, going down the stairs. He rejoins Jack, Rose and Fabrizio.
TOMMY
It's hopeless that way.
JACK
Well, whatever we're goin' to do, we better do it fast.
Fabrizio turns to Helga, praying he can make himself understood.
FABRIZIO
(with a lot of hand gestures)
Everyone... all of you... come with me now. We go to the boats. We go to the
boats. Capito? Come now!
They can't understand what he's saying. They can see his urgency, but OLUF
DAHL, the patriarch of the family, shakes his head. He will not panic, and
will not let his family go with this boy. Fabrizio turns to Helga.
FABRIZIO
Helga... per favore... please... come with me, I am lucky. Is my destiny to
go to America.
She kisses him, then steps back to be with her family. Jack lays a hand on
his shoulder, his eyes saying "Let's go".
FABRIZIO
I will never forget you.
He turns to Jack, who leads the way out of the crowd. Looking back Fabrizio
sees her face disappear into the crowd.

204 INT. CAL AND ROSE'S SUITE
CLUNK! Cal opens his safe and reaches inside. As Lovejoy watches, he pulls
out two stacks of bills, still banded by bank wrappers. Then he takes out
"Heart of the Ocean", putting it in the pocket of his overcoat, and locks
the safe.
CAL
(holding up stacks of bills)
I make my own luck.
LOVEJOY
(putting the .45 in his waistband)
So do I.
Cal grins, putting the money in his pocket as they go out.
