Titanic Page #3

- The price has to climb.

- Well, it's falling now.

Correct. For now.

There is some power at work that

we are unfortunately not yet aware of.

Hopkins?

Did you get the latest news?

Yes. 71.

Ismay has bet everything

on his speed record...

but he has miscalculated.

I'll drive it even lower.

No need to stand.

Have a seat.

Do you know what, Hopkins?

I'll drive the colossus down to 60.

And when will you buy it back?

Very good question.

When Ismay's group has grown

nervous and panic selling sets in...

when, with my help,

White Star has dropped to 60...

and no one dares buy...

then I'll buy.

I'll have 510/0 of all shares

in my hands...

and White Star Line

and the Titanic will belong to me.

I understand.

You see, the Titanic

is not just a bunch of shares.

She is a tangible asset.

Tangible assets create power...

and power is a means

to whatever you want.

That's right, John.

Whatever you want.

And for you

that means even more power.

Absolutely right, Madeleine.

Jenny, bring out the jewelry.

Hopkins, close the safe.

To each his own, Madeleine.

For me, more power.

For you, more jewelry.

Jewelry is also an asset.

But not always stable.

Even gems are subject to fluctuation.

And they can only be accurately judged

when they are taken out of their setting.

Just like women.

You're in high spirits today.

I have every reason to be.

Like how I look?

Yes, of course.

But if Ismay thinks

he's a match for me, he's mistaken.

Which do you love more...

your business or me?

There is a time for everything.

Which means, right now...

your business.

See you later.

Madeleine.

Where are you going?

For a breath of fresh air.

Hey, Professor!

Excuse me?

Don't you remember me?

No, I'm afraid not.

Cristobal Mendoz.

We sailed to Buenos Aires together.

Look at that.

Cristobal Mendoz

and Professor Bergmann.

How curious!

I never would have guessed

they knew each other.

Then we must have met

on the Pacific.

No, we didn't meet there either.

Good day.

- Here you are, Miss Hedy.

- Thank you.

Could you tell me

where cabin 350 is?

- Second corridor on the left.

- Thank you.

- What a mess!

- I'm sorry.

I'm the one who should apologize.

It's my fault.

- Really?

- Of course.

- Please don't trouble yourself.

- I'm happy to help.

If the head steward sees,

there will be a scene.

- Why?

- I'm just an employee.

What a coincidence! So am I!

Allow me to introduce myself:

Franz Gruber, first violin

in the first stateroom...

on the first voyage.

Then you may help after all...

or we'll both hear about it.

- You know what?

- What?

Allow me to make a suggestion.

Give me a manicure.

Don't talk such nonsense.
