Assistant Wireless Operator Harold Bride : [Bride is awakened by the din on deck following the collision] What's up?
Wireless Operator John 'Jack' Phillips : Ahhhh. We're stopped and blowing off steam. Something's wrong, I don't know what. Run into a bit of ice, I think.

Assistant Wireless Operator Harold Bride : Captain? I got some good news. We've contacted the Carpathia eastbound from New York. She's on her way to us.
Captain Edward J. Smith : How far away is she?
Assistant Wireless Operator Harold Bride : 58 miles. She's making all possible speed and should be with us in just under four hours.
Captain Edward J. Smith : Four hours... Wait, you see a light out there. Isn't she replying?
Assistant Wireless Operator Harold Bride : [sees the light from the Californian in the distance] No sir. She'd blast our ears off if she did. Maybe she can't keep a 24-hour watch. Or maybe she hasn't got wireless at all, sir.
Captain Edward J. Smith : Thank you, Bride.

Captain Edward J. Smith : Well, Phillips?
Wireless Operator John 'Jack' Phillips : Another update from the Carpathia. She's increased speed and is now making 17 knots and she should rendezvous with us earlier than expected at around 3:30.
Captain Edward J. Smith : [looks at his wristwatch] Still... that'll be too late! There must be somebody nearer. Keep trying.
Wireless Operator John 'Jack' Phillips : Yes sir.
[Smith exists as Bride enters]
Assistant Wireless Operator Harold Bride : I got you a lifejacket.
Wireless Operator John 'Jack' Phillips : Thanks, put it over there.
Assistant Wireless Operator Harold Bride : They're growing in short supply, so these may be the last few around.
