Today, I am going to list out the 11 heart melting dialogues (also check out the article here) from the iconic most romantic movie of the era, Titanic which was released in the year 1997 (when many of us couldn't watch the PG13 movie *internal scream*).
The movie Titanic, otherwise known as the 'unsinkable ship' or the 'ship of dreams', starred Kate Winslet (as Rose DeWitt Bukater) and Lionardo DeCaprio (as Jack Dawson) and was directed by James Camron.
1. "It Was The Ship Of Dreams." --Rose DeWitt Bukater
The captain and other officers on board were truly heartbroken to see the ship sink, but more than that, the Titanic was a promise of hope, safety, and innovation. When Rose is older, she insists that to truly understand the scope of the story, listeners must understand what the Titanic symbolized.
2. "I Saw My Whole Life As If I'd Already Lived It." --Rose DeWitt Bukater
"An endless parade of parties and cotillions, yachts and polo matches. Always the same narrow people, the same mindless chatter. I felt like I was standing at a great precipice with no one to pull me back, no who cared or even noticed."
3. "You Jump, I Jump." --Jack Dawson
When Jack first meets Rose, he tells her that if she jumps off the ship, he will, too. Towards the end of the film, Rose leaps from one of the rescue boats so that she can return to the ship and be with Jack. He asks her why she did it, crying and repeating that she's "so stupid" while he embraces her and kisses her.
4. "... I Feel I'm Standing In The Middle Of A Crowded Room, Screaming At The Top Of My Lungs, And No One Even Looks Up." --Rose DeWitt Bukater
Rose seems to have it all — wealth, education, a fiancé, family, privilege — but she still feels sorry for herself. Interestingly, Jack doesn't think that she's entitled or being precious but sympathizes with her.
He listens to her problems and takes her seriously because her feelings are still valid. She explains how it feels to be who she is, and how all she wants to do is escape her suffocating identity.
5. "Rose, You're No Picnic. You're A Spoiled Little Brat, Even." --Jack Dawson
Even though everything on the Titanic is glamorized and made to seem shinier than it is, Jack sees the real Rose when nobody else does.
Being a peasant himself, he sees rich people as spoiled, and he's not wrong about Rose. But despite his view, he still loves her, and she still loves him even after he says it.
6. "When You Got Nothing, You Got Nothing To Lose." --Jack Dawson
Jack Dawson only ever gets onto the ship by chance — he wins a ticket, which he later says is the best thing that ever happened to him, even if it does end up getting him killed.
However, Jack's lack of wealth means that he can live a very carefree life. He always lives in the moment, which is something Rose desperately wants, and it's part of why she's so attracted to him.
7. "I'd Rather Be His Whore Than Your Wife." --Rose DeWitt Bukater
Rose has spent so long dreading the future that she wants to live in the present — if only for a few moments or days — with a person whose company she enjoys. She even has the guts to speak her thoughts to Cal's face.
She chooses Jack despite his low social standing and lack of wealth.
8. "That Fire That I Love About You, Rose, That Fire Is Gonna Burn Out." --Jack Dawson
Though Rose may feel secure in her life, she certainly doesn't feel happy. Her older version even says that she was "screaming" on the inside.
Jack can see right through her façade, too. When she's with him, she's loud and vibrant and headstrong. He tells her that if she goes on living the way she does, she will become trapped in that rigid lifestyle forever.
9. "You're Gonna Die An Old, Old Lady, Warm In Her Bed." --Jack Dawson
The last part of the film is painstakingly drawn out, with Rose holding onto dear life and Jack in the water. Even though he's the one in the freezing ocean, he keeps whispering to her, trying to reassure her as she holds his hands.
They're both losing hope, and Rose voices her concerns, but Jack refuses to believe her. He asserts that they're going to make it out alive, even though the situation is dire and doesn't show any signs of improving. This quote really speaks to Jack's optimism, which he's shown throughout the film and displays here in his darkest moment.
10. "I Figure Life's A Gift And I Don't Intend On Wasting It." --Jack Dawson
"I got everything I need here right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen or, who I am gonna meet, where I am gonna windup. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having a champagne with you fine people. I figured life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it. You don't know what hand you are gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you...to make each day count."
Despite Jack's lower social standing, he has a lot of wisdom to offer. One night, when he has dinner with Rose's family, he explains the philosophy behind his way of living.
11. "I'll Never Let Go, Jack." --Rose DeWitt Bukater
One of the most memorable quotes of the film comes in the final scene when the pair is holding onto a plank of wood. The ship is wrecked and sunk by this point, and the floating survivors are waiting for someone to come and rescue them.
Rose starts saying her goodbyes to Jack, but he insists that they're not done yet. However, not long afterward, he starts saying his goodbyes. He makes Rose promise that she'll survive and never let go of that promise.
