ROSE
Put your hands on me Jack.
He kisses her, and she slides down in the seat under his welcome weight.
CUT TO:
INT. WIRELESS ROOM
A BRILLIANT ARC OF ELECTRICITY fills frame-- the sparks gap of the Marconi instrument as SENIOR WIRELESS OPERATOR JACK PHILLIPS (24) rapidly keys out a message. Junior Operator Bride looks through the huge stack of outgoing messages swamping them.
BRIDE
Look at this one, he wants his private train to meet him. La dee da.
(slaps them down)
We'll be up all bloody night on this lot.
Phillips start to receive an incoming message from a nearby ship, the Leyland frieghter CALIFORNIAN, which jams his outgoing signal. At such close range, the beeps are deafening.
PHILLIPS
Christ! It's that idiot on the Californian.
Cursing, Phillips furiously keys a rebuke.
CUT TO:
INT. / EXT. WIRELESS SHAK / FREIGHTER CALIFORNIAN
Wireless Operater CYRIL EVANS pulls his earphone off his ear as the Titanic's spark deafens him. he translates the message for THIRD OFFICER GROVES.
EVANS
Stupid bastard. I try to warn him about the ice, and he says "Keep out. Shut up. I'm working Cape Race."
GROVES
Now what's he sending?
EVANS
"No seasickness. Poker business good. Al." Well that's it for me. I'm shutting down.
As Evans wearily switches off his generator, Groves goes out on deck. PAN OFF him to reveal the ship is stopped fifty yards from the edge of a field of pack ice and icebergs stretching as far as the eye can see.
CUT TO:
123 EXT. OCEAN / TITANIC
ON TITANIC, steaming hellbent through the darkness, hurling up white water at the bows. The bow comes straight at us, until the bow wave WIPES THE FRAME--
CUT TO:
124 INT. HOLD #2
PUSHING IN on the rear window of the Renault, which is completely fogged up. Rose's hand comes up and slams against the glass for a moment, making a handprint in the veil of condensation.
Why this scene was cut: Cameron thought that cutting from Rose and Jack kissing to a wide shot of the isolated Titanic was a stronger statement than the exchange in the wireless room, which was one of many factors that contributed to the sinking.
