Sigrid Olinsky Quotes in Titanic (1943)

1st Officer Petersen: [Approaches Sigrid who's waiting by one of the final lifeboats] Sigrid!

Sigrid Olinsky: Yes?

1st Officer Petersen: You're an amazing woman, my darling.

Sigrid Olinsky: I'd only done it for you.

1st Officer Petersen: Sigrid, you must get into this lifeboat and leave the ship.

Sigrid Olinsky: No. I'll go when you go.

1st Officer Petersen: As an officer, I must stay to the end. And it is in my capacity as an officer that I order you to get in the lifeboat. Those people need you to give them hope until rescue comes. I beg you... Go!

Sigrid Olinsky: [pause] So you're ordering me?

1st Officer Petersen: Yes. And it is the most difficult order I ever had to give.

Sigrid Olinsky: All right, then. I'll go.

[She reluctantly boards the lifeboat]

1st Officer Petersen: Lower away!

Sigrid Olinsky: [Sigrid Olinsky and Petersen are in the billiard room, where Astor and Ismay are playing] Sir Bruce? I have a big favor to ask of you, one which you cannot refuse.

Sir Bruce Ismay: Then of course I won't.

Sigrid Olinsky: I'd like to see the engine room.

Sir Bruce Ismay: That's a wonderful idea, we will all come along!

[to Astor]

Sir Bruce Ismay: Would you be interested?

John Jacob Astor: Of course, I'll just let my wife know.

[leaves]

Sigrid Olinsky: But we'll need an expert guide. Can't Offier Petersen come along? He's not on duty at the moment.

Sir Bruce Ismay: Of course he can.

[to Petersen]

Sir Bruce Ismay: Would you please show us the engine room?

1st Officer Petersen: Mr. President, I'm not authorized to do this.

Sir Bruce Ismay: Then I give you full authorization.

1st Officer Petersen: Mr. President, I am the First Officer, you cannot give me any authorization.

Sir Bruce Ismay: I see.

[to Steward Braun]

Sir Bruce Ismay: Mr. Brown? Please call the captain for me.

Sigrid Olinsky: You take me for a spoiled, superficial woman who indulges her every whim, don't you?

1st Officer Petersen: Now, it would seem discourteous if I didn't insist on the contrary.

Sigrid Olinsky: Then I wouldn't want to disappoint you again, so you must be right. And my whim is to prove to you that I will do anything I want.

1st Officer Petersen: That won't be difficult since, as the First Officer, it is my duty to fulfill the wishes of the passengers as much as possible.

Sigrid Olinsky: But there must be things you're expressly forbidden to do.

1st Officer Petersen: Of course. For example, I'm forbidden to visit passengers in their staterooms or take them to the engine room-...

Sigrid Olinsky: That's perfect! I would like to see the engine room.
