Ismay : [Andrews enters room with crew behind him; he lays out architectural drawings on table, with Ismay behind him] Most unfortunate, captain!
Thomas Andrews : [perspiring and trembling] Water... fourteen feet above the keel in ten minutes. In the forepeak, in all three holds and in the boiler room six.
Ismay : When can we get underway, damnit!
Thomas Andrews : That's five compartments! She can stay afloat with the first four compartments breached, but not five!
[tersely to Smith]
Thomas Andrews : Not five. As she goes down by the head, the water will spill over the tops of the bulkheads at E deck from one to the next. Back and back. There's no stopping it.
Smith : The pumps... if we opened the doors...
Thomas Andrews : [interrupting] The pumps buy you time, but minutes only. From this moment, no matter what we do, Titanic will founder.
Ismay : [incredulously] But this ship can't sink!
Thomas Andrews : She's made of iron, sir! I assure you, she can... and she will. It is a mathematical certainty.
Smith : How much time?
Thomas Andrews : An hour... two at most.
Smith : And how many aboard, Mr. Murdoch?
1st Officer William Murdoch : 2,200 souls on board, sir.
Smith : [turning to Ismay] Well, I believe you may get your headlines, Mr. Ismay.

1st Officer William Murdoch : Get Back!
Cal Hockley : We had a deal, damn you!
1st Officer William Murdoch : [throws a pack of money Cal had used to bribe him earlier] Your money can't save you any more than it can save me. Get Back!

Lookout Frederick Fleet : [spots an iceberg ahead of the ship and calls into the wheelhouse] PICK UP, YOU BASTARDS!
6th Officer Moody : [comes into the wheelhouse with a cup of tea in hand and answers the phone]
Lookout Frederick Fleet : Is there anyone there?
6th Officer Moody : Yes, what do you see?
Lookout Frederick Fleet : Iceberg, right ahead!
6th Officer Moody : Thank you.
[hangs up phone]
6th Officer Moody : [rushes out to the deck to notify 1st Officer William Murdoch] Iceberg right ahead!

Smith : [rushing to the helm after the iceberg strike] What was that, Mr. Murdoch?
1st Officer William Murdoch : An iceberg, sir. I put a hard a'starboard and ran the engines full astern, but it was too close. I tried to port 'round it, but she hit and the...
Smith : Close the watertight doors.
1st Officer William Murdoch : The doors are closed, sir.
Smith : [walking on deck] All stop!

Smith : Find the carpenter. Get him to sound the ship.
1st Officer William Murdoch : Yes, sir!
