Rose : [whispering to Jack] Next it will be brandies in the smoking room.

Ruth : Tell us of the accomodations in steerage, Mr. Dawson. I hear they're quite good on the ship.
Jack : The best I've seen, Ma'am. Hardly any rats.
[laughter from the table]
Cal Hockley : Mr. Dawson is joining us from the Third Class. He was of some assistance to my fiancée last night.
Rose : It turns out that Mr. Dawson is quite a fine artist. He was kind enough to show me some of us work today.
Cal Hockley : Rose and I differ somewhat in our opinion of fine art...
[to Jack]
Cal Hockley : Not to impune you work, sir.
Jack : [Jack shrugs it off as no offense; Jack looks down at his utensils, confused as which to use, he turns to Molly Brown] Are these all for me?
Molly Brown : Just start from the outside and work your way in.
Ismay : He has every rivet in it, don't you, Thomas?
Rose : Your ship is a wonder, Mr. Andrews, truly.
Thomas Andrews : Thank you, Rose.
Waiter : [to Jack] How do you take your caviar, sir?
Jack : No caviar for me, thanks. Never did like it much.
Ruth : And where exactly do you live, Mr. Dawson?
Jack : Well, right now, my address is the RMS Titanic, after that, I'm on God's good humor.
Ruth : And how is it you have means to travel?
Jack : I work my way from place to place, you know, tramp steamers and such, but I won my ticket on Titanic here in a lucky hand of poker, a very lucky hand.
Col. Archibald Gracie : All life is a game of luck.
Cal Hockley : A real man makes his own luck, Archie. Right, Dawson.
Jack : Mm-hmm.
Ruth : And you find that sort of rootless existence appealing, do you?
Jack : Well, yes, ma'am, I do. I mean, I've got everything I need right here with me. I've got air in my lungs and a few blank sheets of paper. I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's going to happen or...
[Eating of piece of bread]
Jack : ... Who I'm gonna meet, where I'm gonna wind up. Just the other night, I was sleeping under a bridge and now, here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people.
[to the waiter]
Jack : I'll take some more of that.
[Back to the table]
Jack : I figured life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it. You never know what hand you're gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you.
[Seeing Cal getting ready to light up a cigarette, he throws Cal his lighter]
Jack : Here you go, Cal.
[Back to the table]
Jack : To make each day count.
Molly Brown : Well said, Jack.
Col. Archibald Gracie : Here, here.
Rose : [Raising her glass for a toast] To making it count.
