Robbie Lucas : Oh, Mister Andrews?
Thomas Andrews : Yes?
Robbie Lucas : I'd like you to tell me something. I... I have a wife and three children on board. Just how serious is it?
[Andrews hesitates]
Robbie Lucas : I'm not the panicking kind.
Thomas Andrews : The ship has about an hour to live. A little more, if some of the upper bulkheads hold, but not much more. Get your wife and children into the boats.
Robbie Lucas : Thank you.
[Andrews walks off]
Robbie Lucas : Oh, Mister Andrews?
[Andrews stops and turns around]
Robbie Lucas : I take it you and I might both be in the same boat later?
Thomas Andrews : [smiles sadly] Yes... We may.

Mrs. Liz Lucas : [Lucas returns to his stateroom after being told the situation by Andrews] Please, will you tell me what's going on, Robert? People have been rushing about, and noises overhead...
Robbie Lucas : It's very tiresome. We've struck an iceberg and damaged the ship. We may be a day late getting into New York.
Mrs. Liz Lucas : Oh, that is annoying.
Robbie Lucas : And, to make matters worse, the captain is being very fussy and correct. All women and children have to go up on deck and get into the lifeboats.
Mrs. Liz Lucas : Oh no.
Robbie Lucas : I'm afraid so, dear.
Mrs. Liz Lucas : But I don't want to wake the children. Is it really necessary?
Robbie Lucas : Yes!
[very somber tone]
Robbie Lucas : I... I believe we should do as the captain says.
