OLD ROSE (V.O.)
I saw my whole life as if I'd already lived it... an endless parade of parties and cotillions,
yachts and polo matches... always the same narrow people, the same mindless chatter. I felt
like I was standing at a great precipice, with no one to pull me back, no one who cared...
or even noticed.
ANGLE BENEATH TABLE showing Rose's hand, holding a tiny fork from her crab salad. She pokes
the crab-fork into the skin of her arm, harder and harder until it draws blood.
CUT TO:
INT. CORRIDOR / B DECK - NIGHT
Rose walks along the corridor. A steward coming the other way greets her, and she nods
with a slight smile. She is perfectly composed.
CUT TO:
INT. ROSE'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
She enters the room. Stands in the middle, staring at her reflection in the large vanity
mirror. Just stands there, then--
With a primal, anguished cry she claws at her throat, ripping off her emerald necklace,
which explodes across the room. In a frenzy she tears at herself, her clothes, her hair...
then attacks the room. She flings everything off the dresser and it flies clattering against
the wall. She hurls a handmirror against the vanity, cracking it.
CUT TO:
64 EXT. A DECK PROMENADE, AFT - NIGHT
Rose runs along the B deck promenade. She is dishevelled, her hair flying. She is crying, her cheeks streaked with tears. But also angry, furious! Shaking with emotions she doesn't understand... hatred, self-hatred, desperation. A strolling couple watch her pass. Shocked at the emotional display in public.
Why this scene was cut: Cameron chose to cut directly from Rose at the table to running along the deck so that the audience wouldn't quite know why she was there and therefore see her as Jack saw her. If this scene hadn't been cut it would have explained why the handmirror is cracked when Old Rose sees it in the present, but instead we can just assume it cracked from during the sinking or while being recovered.
