Lewis Bodine : We never found anything on Jack... there's no record of him at all.
Old Rose : No, there wouldn't be, would there? And I've never spoken of him until now... Not to anyone... Not even your grandfather... A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets. But now you know there was a man named Jack Dawson and that he saved me... in every way that a person can be saved. I don't even have a picture of him. He exists now... only in my memory.

Old Rose : [about Jack drawing her naked] My heart was pounding the whole time. It was the most erotic moment of my life. Up until then, at least.
Lewis Bodine : So what happened next?
Old Rose : You mean, did we "do it"? Sorry to disappoint you Mr. Bodine, but Jack was very professional.

Lewis Bodine : [narrating an animated sequence of the Titanic's sinking on a TV monitor] Okay, here we go. She hits the berg on the starboard side, right? She kind of bumps along, punching holes like Morse code, dit dit dit, 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 bulkheads, which unfortunately don't go any higher then 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 sticking up in the air - And that's a big ass, we're talking 20 - 30,000 tons. Okay? And the hull's not designed to deal with that pressure, so what happens? "KRRRRRRKKK!" She splits. Right down to the keel. And the stern falls back level. Then as the bow sinks it pulls the stern vertical and then finally detaches. Now the stern section just kind of bobs there like a cork for a couple of minutes, floods and finally goes under about 2:20am, two hours and forty minutes after the collision. The bow section planes away, landing about half a mile away going about 20 - 30 knots when it hits the ocean floor. "BOOM, PLCCCCCGGG!"... Pretty cool, huh?
Old Rose : Thank you for that fine forensic analysis, Mr. Bodine. Of course, the experience of it was... somewhat different.

[Rose is telling the story of how she and Jack met]
Lewis Bodine : Wait a second. You were going to kill youself by jumping off of the Titanic?
[laughing hysterically]
Lewis Bodine : All you had to do was wait two days!

Lewis Bodine : She's a goddamn liar! Some nutcase seeking money or publicity, God only knows what. Like that Russian babe, Anesthesia.
[Mistaken name, intentionally kept in the scene]
Lewis Bodine : [walking towards the helicopter with Bobby following behind]
Lewis Bodine : Rose DeWitt Bukater died on the Titanic when she was seventeen, right?
Brock Lovett : That's right.
Lewis Bodine : If she had lived, she'd be over a hundred by now.
Brock Lovett : One-hundred and one next month.
Lewis Bodine : Okay, so she's a very OLD goddamn liar! Look, I've already done the background on this woman all the way back to the twenties, when she was working as an actress. An actress! There's your first clue, Sherlock! Her name was Rose Dawson back then. Then she marries this guy named Calvert, they move to Cedar Rapids and she punches out a couple of kids. Now Calvert's dead, and from what I hear Cedar Rapids is dead!
Brock Lovett : And everyone who knows about the diamond is supposed to be dead, or on this boat, but she knows!

Lewis Bodine : Incredible. There's Smith and he's standing there and he's got the iceberg warning in his fucking hand, excuse me, his hand, and he's ordering more speed.
-
Lewis Bodine : [while Lovett and his team inspect the room where Cal's safe is found] Looks like someone left the water running...
-
Brock Lovett : [talks to himself out loud while holding his camera] It still gets me every time... to see the sad ruin of the great ship sitting here, where she landed at 2:30 in the morning, April 15, 1912, after her long fall from the world above.
Lewis Bodine : [snickers] You are so full of shit, Boss!
[they both crack up]

Old Rose : 1500 people went into the sea when Titanic sank from under us. There were 20 boats floating nearby and only one came back, one. Six were saved from the water, myself included. Six out of 1500. Afterward, the 700 people in the boats had nothing to, but wait, wait to die, wait to live, wait for an absolution that would never come.
[the 700 survivors in the boats are shown, looking mentally and emotionally beaten, as they make their way to the Carpathia; On the Carpathia, Cal comes down to the steerage deck, looking for Rose]
Carpathia Steward : Sir, I don't think you'll find any of your people down here. It's all steerage.
[He walks on by ignoring him]
Old Rose : That was the last time I ever saw him. He married, of course, and inherited his millions. But the crash of '29 hit his interest hard and he put a pistol in his mouth that year, or so I read.
Carpathia Steward : [the Carpathia rides by the Statue of Liberty, with Rose looking up at her] Can I take your name, please, love.
Rose : [Turning to him, but keeping herself concealed from Cal and Ruth] Dawson. Rose Dawson.
Carpathia Steward : [after writing it down] Thank you.
Lewis Bodine : We never found anything on Jack. There's no record of him at all.
Old Rose : No, there wouldn't be, would there and I've never spoken of him before, not to anyone...
[to Lizzie]
Old Rose : ... Not even your Grandfather.
[to the whole group]
Old Rose : A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets. But now you know there was a man named Jack Dawson and that he saved me in every way a person can be saved. I don't even have a picture of him. He exists now... only in my memory.

Lewis Bodine : [as he and Mr. Lovett stare in astonishment as Cal's sunken safe] Oh baby, baby, are you seein' this, boss?
Brock Lovett : It's pay day, boys.
