Below are several quotes from Titanic. If you have one in mind that I should add, please send me e-mail. "500 invitations have gone out, all of Philadelphia's society will be there. And all the while, I feel I'm standing in the middle of a crowded room and no one even looks up." "Do you love him?" "Pardon me, well you're being very rude, you shouldn't be asking me this." "Well, it's a simple question, do you love the guy or not?" -Rose and Jack "I saw my whole life as if I'd already lived it.... an endless parade of parties and cotillions, yachts and polo matches....always the same narrow people, the same mindless chatter. I felt like I was standing at a great precipice, with no one to pull me back, no one who cared.... or even noticed...." -Rose "I work my way from place to place. Tramp streamers and such. I won my ticket on Titanic here in a lucky hand at poker... a very lucky hand." -Jack "There's nothing I couldn't give you. There's nothing I'd deny you if you would not deny me. Oh, open your heart to me, Rose." -Cal "It's been 84 years........ and I can still smell the fresh paint. The China had never been used. The sheets had never been slept in. Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams. And it was. It really was." -Old Rose "Where to miss?" "To the stars" -Jack and Rose "You have a gift, Jack. You do. You see people." "I see you." "And...?" "You wouldn't a' jumped". -Rose and Jack "Oh, Mother SHUT UP! Don't you understand? The water is freezing and there aren't enough boats. Not enough by half. Half the people on this ship are going to die!" -Rose "I'm sorry, Fribritzio, you're not gonna see your mom again for along time! We're goin' to America! Full House boys! WHOOOHOOO!!" -Jack "Those finger paintings were certainly a waste of money." "The difference between Cal's taste in art and mine is that I have some. They're fascinating. Like in a dream... there's truth but no logic." "What's the artist's name?" "Something Picasso." "He'll never amount to a thing, trust me. At least they were cheap." -Cal and Rose "A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets. But now you all 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 "I love waking up in the morning not knowing what I'm gonna do or who I'm gonna meet. Just yesterday I was sleeping under a bridge, and today I'm on the grandest ship in the world drinking champagne with you fine people." -Jack Dawson "Can I take your name please, love?" "Dawson. Rose Dawson" -Officer and Rose DeWitt Bukater "Hey, who came up with the name Titanic? You, Bruce?" "Yes, actually. I wanted to convey sheer size. and size means stability, luxury... and safety --" "Do you know of Dr. Freud? His ideas about the male preoccupation with size might be of particular interest to you, Mr. Ismay." -Molly, Ismay, and Rose "I love you Jack." "No... don't say your good-byes, Rose. Don't you give up. Don't do it." "I'm so cold." "You're going to get out of this... you're going to go on and you're going to make babies and watch them grow and you're going to die an old lady, warm in your bed. Not here. Not this night. Do you understand me?" "I can't feel my body." "Rose, listen to me. Listen. Winning that ticket was the best thing that ever happened to me. It brought me to you. And I'm thankful, Rose. I'm thankful. You must do me this honor... promise me you will survive... that you will never give up... no matter what happens... no matter how hopeless... promise me now, and never let go of that promise." "I promise." "Never let go." "I promise. I will never let go, Jack. I'll never let go." -Jack and Rose "Rose, Rose, you're so stupid, you're such an idiot--" "You jump, I jump, right?" "Right." -Rose and Jack
