I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen or, who I'm gonna meet, where I'm gonna wind up. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people. I figure life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it.

    Ruth: [whispering] What's gotten into you?

    Rose: Excuse me.

    [She rises and leaves]

    Ruth: I do apologize.

    Molly Brown: She's a pistol, Cal! Hope you can handle her.

    Cal Hockley: Well, I may have to start minding what she reads from now on, won't I, Mrs. Brown?

    Ismay: Freud? Who is he? Is he a passenger?

  • Robert Hitchins: You don't understand. If we go back, they'll swamp the boat, they'll pull us right down, I'm tellin' you!

    Molly Brown: Knock it off. You're scaring me. C'mon girls! Grab an oar, let's go!

    Robert Hitchins: Are you out of your mind? We're in the middle of the North Atlantic! Now do you people want to live, or do you want to die?

    Molly Brown: I don't understand a one of you. What's the matter with ya? It's your men out there! There's plenty o' room for more!

    Molly Brown: [to other rowers] Stop! We have to go back!

    Robert Hitchins: No. The suction will pull us down if we don't keep going.

    Molly Brown: We've lots more room! I say we go back.

    Robert Hitchins: No! It's our lives now, not theirs. And I'm in charge of this boat, madam! Now *row*!
