EXT. A DECK PROMENADE - DAY Rose and Jack stroll aft, past people lounging on deck chairs in the slanting late-afternoon light. Stewards scurry to serve tea or hot cocoa.

ROSE
(girlish and excited)
You know, my dream has always been to just chuck it all and become an artist... living in a garret, poor but free!

JACK
(laughing)
You wouldn't last two days. There's no hot water, and hardly ever any caviar.

ROSE
(angry in a flash)
Listen, buster... I hate caviar! And I'm tired of people dismissing my dreams with a chuckle and a pat on the head.

JACK
I'm sorry. Really... I am.

ROSE
Well, alright. There's something in me, Jack. I feel it. I don't know what it is, whether I should be an artist, or, I don't know... a dancer. Like Isadora Duncan.... a wild pagan spirit...

She leaps forward, lands deftly and whirls like a dervish. Then she sees something ahead and her face lights up.

ROSE
...or a moving picture actress!

She takes his hand and runs, pulling him along the deck toward--

DANIEL AND MARY MARVIN. Daniel is cranking the big wooden movie camera as she poses stiffly at the rail.

MARVIN
You're sad. Sad, sad, sad. You've left your lover on the shore. You may never see him agian. Try to be sadder, darling.

SUDDENLY Rose shoots into the shot and strikes a theatrical pose at the rail next to Mary. Mary bursts out laughing. Rose pulls Jack into the picture and makes him pose.

Marvin grins and starts yelling and gesturing. We see this in CUTS, with music and no dialogue.

SERIES OF CUTS:

Rose posing tragically at the rail, the back of her hand to her forehead.

Jack on a deck chair, pretending to be a Pasha, the two girls pantomiming fanning him like slave girls.

Jack, on his knees, pleading with his hands clasped while Rose, standing, turns her head in bored disdain.

Rose cranking the camera, while Daniel and Jack have a western shoot-out. Jack wins and leers into the lens, twirling an air mustache like Snidely Whiplash.

CUT TO:

EXT. A DECK PROMENADE / AFT - SUNSET

Painted with orange light, Jack and Rose lean on the A-deck rail aft, shoulder to shoulder. The ship's lights come on.

It is a magical moment... perfect.

ROSE
So then what, Mr. Wandering Jack?

JACK
Well, then logging got to be too much like work, so I went down to Los Angelas to the pier in Santa Monica. That's a swell place, they even have a rollercoaster. I sketched portraits there for ten cents a piece.

ROSE
A whole ten cents?!

JACK
(not getting it)
Yeah; it was great money... I could make a dollar a day, sometimes. But only in summer. When it got cold, I decided to go to Paris and see what the real artists were doing.

ROSE
(looks at the dusk sky)
Why can't I be like you Jack? Just head out for the horizon whenever I feel like it.
(turning to him)
Say we'll go there, sometime... to that pier... even if we only ever just talk about it.



Why this scene was cut: As Cameron watched the edited scene, he felt the characters sharing their dreams and aspirations was a cliche that told the audience they were going to perish later. Somehow he missed that Fabrizio claiming to be destined to go to America and being "lucky" was ironically creating the same cliche.

Why this scene's absence is important: Because we miss Rose talking about wanting to be a motion picture actress, the connection is lost to the Hollywood-esque picture Old Rose has on her nightstand at the close of the movie. As Lewis Bodine sums up Rose's life to Brock, he emphasizes that she worked as an actress which seems to be his evidence that she is lying, but with this cut scene it would have been clear that acting was fulfilling a dream she told to Jack.
