Titanic - -1997-
Later, Jack takes Rose to a real party – the third-class Irish dance below deck. They sweat, stomp, drink cheap beer, and laugh like children. For the first time, Rose feels alive. Cal demands Rose stop seeing Jack. She pretends to agree – but instead, she finds Jack on the deserted forward deck at sunset. “When this ship docks, I’m getting off with you,” she says.
That night, alone on the deck, Rose unclasps the necklace (she retrieved it from Cal’s coat before he boarded the lifeboat) and drops it into the sea – back to Jack. Titanic -1997-
Jack, handcuffed by Lovejoy to a pipe in the master-at-arms’ office (on Cal’s false theft charge), feels the shudder. Rose, rescued into a lifeboat by Cal, looks at her mother’s cold face, at Cal’s smug relief – and jumps back onto the sinking ship. Later, Jack takes Rose to a real party
Jack asks: “Are you ready to be a penniless artist’s wife, sleeping on park benches?” Cal demands Rose stop seeing Jack
“Stay back! I’ll let go.”
