IVY WALKER: When we are married, will you dance with me? I find dancing very agreeable. Why can you not say what is in your head?
LUCIUS HUNT: Why can you not stop saying what is in yours? Why must you lead, when I want to lead? If I want to dance, I will ask you to dance. If I want to speak, I will open my mouth and speak. Everyone is forever plaguing me to speak further. Why? What good is it to...

JACK: Winning that ticket, Rose, was the best thing that ever happened to me… It brought me to you. And I’m thankful for that, Rose. I’m thankful. You must do me this honor. You must promise me that you’ll survive. That you won’t give up, no matter what happens, no matter how hopeless. Promise me now, Rose, and never let go of that promise. ROSE: I promise. JACK:...
