TITANIC script

In 1996, 101-year-old Rose DeWitt Bukater recounts her 1912 experience aboard the Titanic, where she, a first-class passenger, fell in love with penniless artist Jack Dawson, despite her engagement to the arrogant Caledon Hockley. Their forbidden romance blossomed as the ship sailed, but their love was tested when the Titanic struck an iceberg, leading to Jack's wrongful arrest orchestrated by Cal. Rose rescued Jack, and together they navigated the sinking ship, evading Cal's pursuit, until Jack tragically succumbed to hypothermia in the freezing Atlantic after ensuring Rose's survival. Rose, having kept the Heart of the Ocean diamond secret for decades, finally drops it into the ocean before peacefully dying in her sleep, dreaming of reuniting with Jack and the Titanic victims.

Dialogue examples

Well... it's a big world, and I want to see it all before I go. My father was always talkin' about goin' to see the ocean. He died in the town he was born in, and never did see it. You can't wait around, because you never know what hand you're going to get dealt next. See, my folks died in a fire when I was fifteen, and I've been on the road since. Somethin' like that teaches you to take life as it comes at you. To make each day count.
