temple and... BLAM! He drops like a puppet with the strings cut and topples
over the edge of the boat deck into the water only a few feet below.
Cal stares in horror at Murdoch's body bobbing in the black water. The MONEY
FLOATS out of the pocket of his greatcoat, the bills spreading across the
surface.
The crew rush to get the last few women aboard the boat.
PURSER MCELROY
(calling above the confusion)
Any more women or children?!
THE CHILD crying in the alcove. Cal scoops her up and runs forward, cradling
her in his arms.
CAL
(forcing his way through the crowd)
Here's a child! I've got a child!
CAL (CONT'D)
(to McElroy)
Please... I'm all she has in the world.
McElroy nods curtly and pushes him into the boat. He spins with his gun,
brandishing it in the air to keep the other men back. Cal gets into the
boat, holding the little girl. He takes a seat with the women.
CAL
There, there.

235 INT. FIRST CLASS SMOKE ROOM
Thomas Andrews stands in front of the fireplace, staring at the large
painting above the mantle. The fire is still going in the fireplace.
The room is empty except for Andrews. An ashtray falls off the table. Behind
him Jack and Rose run into the room, out of breath and soaked. They run

ANDREWS
Good luck to you, Rose.
ROSE
(hugging him)
And to you, Mr. Andrews.
Jack pulls her away and they run through the revolving door.

236 EXT. BOAT DECK AND VARIOUS LOCATIONS
The band finishes the waltz. Wallace Hartley looks at the orchestra members.
HARTLEY
Right, that's it then.
They leave him, walking forward along the deck. Hartley puts his violin to
his chin and bows the first notes of "Nearer My God to Thee". One by one the
band members turn, hearing the lonely melody.
Without a word they walk back and take their places. They join in with
Hartley, filling out the sound so that it reaches all over the ship on this
still night. The vocalist begins: "If in my dreams I be, nearer my God to
