Titanic: In every age mankind attempts To fabricate great works at once magnificent and impossible... On desert sands, from Mountains of Stone A Pyramid! From Flying Buttresses alone A Wall of light A chapel ceiling screaming one man's ecstasy! One man's ecstasy... Miracles them all! China's endless wall... Stonehenge, the parthenon, the duomo the aqueducts of Rome We did not attempt to make with mammoth blocks of stone a giant pyramid... No, not a pyramid… Nor gothic walls that radiate with light... Our task was to dream upon and then create a floating city!... Floating city!... A human metropolis... A complete civilization! Sleek! and Fast! At once a poem and the perfection of physical engineering... at once a poem and the perfection of physical engineering... Southampton: "The Ocean Dock" The Launching Wednesday, April 10, 1912; 6:00am How did they Build Titanic Stoker Frederick Barrett: How did they build Titanic? Near a thousand feet in length. Huge beyond past endeavor Strong beyond mortal strength Forty-six thousand tons of Steel Eleven Stories high! She's a great floating palace, Floating... Quiet as a lullaby There She Is Barrett: (to his girl on the dock) Fare-thee-well my darlin' I'll be back before a fortnight has passed...

Take your flight! Ship of dreams!... She strains at her lines, The smoke from her funnels trailing. Her prow like a knife, She'll cut through the waves unfailing. Soon to be Underway, Size and speed unexplored… And I'll be aboard That ship of dreams!

What is our present course? Murdoch:281 degrees North Captain:Steady as she goes. Murdoch:Aye Aye Captain. Captain:Mr. Lightoller what is our current speed? Lightoller:19 Sir. Captain:Maintain 19 knots Mr. Murdoch. Murdoch: Aye Aye Sir. (on speakerphone) Boiler Room 1- 6- Maintain 68 revolutions of the main propellers (Ismay and Etches enter Bridge) Ismay: E.J! Now that we are officially underway I thought a little celebration might be in order. Captain: I'm sorry Mr. Ismay - I don't allow alcohol on my bridge. You know that Mr. Etches. Etches:Yes Sir, I do. Ismay:Oh technically speaking E. J. it would be considered my bridge. Captain:Not at sea, Mr. Ismay. Etches: I'm terribly sorry- Sir - this bottle seems to have gone completely flat. I couldn't possibly allow you to drink it. Would you like me to fetch you another Mr. Ismay? Ismay:Never mind - let it go. Etches:Again - my apologies. Captain:Thank you Mr. Etches. (Etches leaves with champagne bottle) Ismay: Yes -well with or without champagne I want to toast our ship. Royal Mail Steamer - Titanic! Nearly a quarter mile in length - She's bigger- grander and safer than any ship in history! The greatest achievement in Trans-Atlantic Navigation since that very first crossing nearly 420 years ago. Ah Andrews ! I'm glad you are here! I was just congratulating the three of us on our magnificent contribution to the 20th Century. Progress Gentleman! I give you both... Captain:(interrupting) I trust you will forgive us Mr. Ismay - We have our duties! Ismay:Tell me E.J. what is our present speed? Captain:19 knotts, Mr. Ismay. Ismay: Really? I would have expected us to be going much faster now that we've cleared land. I want us to make NY by Tuesday afternoon. Tell me Andrews, I understand that 22 knotts would be necessary in order to make a six day crossing. In your expert opinion is Titanic capable of that speed? Come Andrews, you're the one who built the thing. Are we capable of 22 knotts? Andrews:Capable, yes I'm sure we are. Possibly a bit more if pushed 23 perhaps... Ismay:Excellent! Sir! Andrews:(continuing) But - it is customary for a maiden voyage to precede prudently. Ismay: It's the maiden voyage that creates news dammit! I intend for this one to create a legend! Talk to me straight man - when can we expect full speed? Andrews:When the Captain orders it, Sir. Ismay:Well then we must persuade him to do so mustn't we? Captain: As a point of fact, I was about to give the order when you walked in. Mr. Murdoch - increase speed to 20 knotts. Murdoch: 20 knotts Aye Aye Sir! (on speakerphone) Increase speed Mr. Bell, give us 71 revolutions. Ismay:20 knotts? Well, it's a start I suppose. Carry on Gentleman. Captain:Watch your compass Mr. Hichens - you are drifting off course! Hichens:I don't think so Sir Captain: Don't argue with me man, If I say you're off course - you're bloody well off course! Boiler Room #6 Bell:Set your screws to 71 - Mr. Barrett Barrett:71? If you ask me Mr. Bell - it's a might soon for 71. Bell:Captain's orders, Mr. Barrett- if you've got no objections that is! Barrett: It's his ship isn't it? 71 it shall be! But I speak plain Mr. Bell, if it was my ship I wouldn't recommend the speed be increased too quick Bell:Do as you're told Mr. Barrett. Barrett's Song Barrett: She's sparkling clean, this new-born ship But one old thing is clear The orders they propose above We execute down here... We'll watch from here as up above They'll catch a whiff of glory This wonder ship may be brand new But it's the same old story... Stoke the fire down in the hold As the men draw back... Feed the heat in the hold As the men draw back And the dust of the coal in the air is black And a trickle of sweat runs down your back... And what are the boys from Midlands doing here? Coal it is that makes the steam That runs the machines that run the world That sends the men below the ground To mine the coal Each day...From Leicetershire and Nottingham Us Lads who worked down in the pit Knew if you got above the ground You'd save your soul Some way... Get out of the pit And Westward I knew I could run And ship out to sea and there my new life was begun... And the screws are turning at seventy-one... It became my dream to got out to sea... Further out from the mine you couldn't be... But, born to the coal, there's no place for you elsewhere You trade a life of dank and gloom To shovel in the boiler room But now you're seven decks below A Lady's dainty feet... And nothing has changed There's nothing a miner can do The pit and your mates Turned into the hold and crew... And the screws are turning at seventy-two... Faster and faster we watch as we gain evermore Seventy-three, and too soon it is seventy-four... For a record speed I believe we strive! For the maiden trip that's too hard to drive If you push her faster than seventy-five. That is the truth I swear!

Prepare to greet our clientele Our meeting is imminent Our having just run the dinner bell It won't be a novelty We mostly have seen them all before... Prepare for the usual You should be aware of what's in store... We've served them on the Baltic And the Oceanic Olympic and Majestic And today's the same There's nothing changed... Mr. Astor takes his toast dry Mrs. Straus Likes the grouse with the sauce on the side And the Wideners love Kidney Pie Bring it hot, if it's not They'll be fit to be tied They're accustomed to the best Of all that money buys The world of free enterprise Has given this privilege to the rich... When they're idle They're entitled to the luxury Which we provide That's forever the source of our pride... Which is why we're always there With our especial form of care For every hungry millionaire By now they've all arrived... Male 1st class passengers: We're sailing aboard the greatest ship That ever sailed the seas The hull and the keel imperviously Stronger by degrees! Female 1st class passengers: Magnificent crystal chandeliers parquet in all the floors All:The ceiling is Jacobean A Decor the world adores Remarkable ship      Oh what a ship! Remarkable keel      Oh what a keel! Remarkable steel!      Oh what a ship! If it could be put in a phrase.. it's "What a remarkable age this is!" Male 1st Class Passengers: A Fellow's invented see-through film He calls it "cellophane!" All: Another has built a parachute For jumping out of an airplane! Remarkable things flow endlessly From out the human brain! Indeed And what a remarkable age this is! Etches: (addressing his staff) Keep the Captain's table pristine Where we seat the elite whom we happily serve Here they dine on fine French Cuisine It's the Creme De La Creme's Exclusive Preserve! It's the pleasure of the leisure class's greatest wits To be where the Captain sits When taking their dinner on the sea Giving difference to their preferences is our chief art! We play a part In a perfectly working machine You should be ever aware This is a privilege great and rare A Special burden that we bear In our respective lives! Millionaires: Remarkable!

There you are! I've been looking for you everywhere! I want to know your opinion on how you think the crossing is going so far. Andrews: Not as well as I'd hoped Mr. Ismay. We've got a few problems. Ismay:Really? Such as what? Andrews: I'm disappointed in the water pressure in the upper decks. The kitchen staff are complaining that their quarters are overheated. Ismay: There's gratitude for you. In my fathers day they were lucky to get any heat at all. Come, come Andrews. Are you satisfied with our present speed? Andrews:I think so, Sir. Ismay: Well, I don't mind telling you - I'm very disappointed. The sea is calm, the weather is fair - why aren't we going faster? Andrews: We are doing 22 knots, Mr. Ismay. That's faster than any White Star Ship has ever managed. Ismay: Talk to me straight Andrews. You chaps at Harland & Wolff built the Cunard ships. Was Titanic intentionally designed to run slower? Andrews: I really must protest the implication, Sir. When your father ran the line, he demanded safety and comfort before speed. Cunard may get their passengers here a little faster yes- but White Star gives them a far better ride. Ismay: It's a new world Andrews! These days people want speed above everything else! Americans would gladly lose their dinner over the rail if it meant arriving in New York a day sooner. Captain:Mr. Ismay is there something that you wanted? Ismay: EJ, I was wondering if you could now predict with any certainty our landing in NY by Tuesday afternoon. Captain:I can only say it's still possible. Ismay: Possible! But it's imperative dammit! If we have to stand off till Wednesday morning our return to England will be delayed for 24 hours. Titanic must be known as a six day ship! EJ - Even the bloody krouts can do it. And if second rate tubs like Deutchland and Kaiser Wilhelm can turn around in fortnight than so by God will we! Captain:I'm sure that we will do everything that we can Mr. Ismay! Ismay:Splendid! That's all we can ask isn't it? The Radio Room, Late Saturday Night Barrett:Excuse me! Excuse me! Bride:Who's there? Barrett:Barrett! Barrett! Bride: The stoker? I remember! Welcome to the most important place in the whole ship! What can I do for you? Barrett:I heard you can actually send a message back to England. Bride: You heard right - all right. Sitting right here I can communicate with important people all over the world. I'd explain how it works but I'm ... Hold on - message coming in! An iceberg warning. It's from the Baltic. That's your old ship! Barrett: Yeah! Bride: As you can see I'm awfully busy Barrett so what is it you want? Barrett: Shouldn't the Captain know about that iceberg then? Bride: Not to worry, I've already sent him half dozen warnings just like it. If you ask me - they don't know what the bloody hell they're doing up there! Excuse my French. It's like we say in the telegraphy business- you can't be in the telegraphy business and remain a Christian. Barrett: So how much would it cost to send a message to my girl in England? Sort of a romantic message? Bride: Very pretty. But romance or not the minimum rakes 2 pounds 4. Barrett: 2 pounds quid!? That's twice what I get for going to America and back! Bride: Hold on! Maybe I can give you a professional discount..? Barrett: Oh yeah, How much would that cost? Bride: Ahhh ...nothing! They'll never know the difference! Barrett: Ah you must be sort of a romantic person yourself! Bride: Not me. Romance and telegraphy don't mix. How can you communicate with only one person when you've got the entire world talking to you! I'll need the name & address... Barrett: Darlene Watkins, Knottingham, England Bride: All right. Barrett: What's that you're doing? Bride: Darlene Watkins- Knottingham, England, Sir -what's the rest of it? Barrett: I don't know...it's gotta be just the right thing. Darlene's sort of funny you see. She said if I wouldn't take it serious she knew somebody who would. I'm not due back for another 2 weeks so I might as well come straight out with it... The Proposal/The Night Was Alive Barrett: I'll be coming back to you, Darlene Back to your dark eyes and hair Marry me when I return, Darlene And until that day, my love, take care Be thee well May the Lord who watches all watch over thee May God's heaven be your blanket as you softly sleep Marry me When you're fin'ly in my arms you'll plainly see This devoted sailor's heart and soul are yours to keep! Bride: Yours-to-keep Every day from G-M-O-M "Good morning old man" to G-N-O-M "Good night old man" My telegraph sends it's messages to ships at sea Sending out its dit dit-dah-dit dah-dit... Dit dit-dah-dit dah-dit Dit dit-dah-dit dah-dit... I was young and shy, detached and sad Spent my days indoors, a home-bound lad Hardly spoke, few friends I kept myself to myself Quite alone Then I found Marconi's Telegraph It could span the planet's width by half Fifty yards, two thousand miles The same! Touch the spark...sound the tone And the night was alive with a thousand voices Fighting to be heard And each and every one of them Connected to me...
