Bride
CQD! CQD! Titanic! CQD! Situation
critical! Repeat situation critical!
Captain:
Radioman have you reached any..
Bride:
(not looking up from his telegraph)
Can't you see I'm busy!
Go bother the captain!
Captain:
This is the Captain!
Bride:
Sorry Sir!
Captain:
Sit down Mr. ..
Bride:
Bride Sir. With the Marconi
international marine radio
telegraphy..
Captain:
Yes, yes! Sit down...
Bride:
Sorry Sir!
Captain:
And continue..
Bride:
Yes sir!
Captain:
Now have you reached any ships in
the immediate vicinity Mr. Bride?
Bride:
6 or 7 sir! The closest seems to be
Carpathia- that's the Cunard line..
Captain:
Yes I know Carpathia, Mr. Bride...
Bride:
They acknowledged our CQD at
11:58pm saying they turned and
are coming hard...
Captain:
How far is she?
Bride:
58 miles...
Andrews:
That's more than four hours away!
Captain:
Carpathia can't be the only ship in
the vicinity Mr. Bride!
Bride:
There was one other sir..
The California. Her signal was
much stronger than the others.
I put her within 10 miles but since the accident - she hasn't responded..
Captain:
Why not??
Bride:
I don't know sir...
Ismay: <entering>
EJ- You've got to do something!
Captain:
What would you suggest Mr. Ismay?
Ismay:
We need another ship here
immediately!
Captain:
I'm afraid the nearest one to
respond is four hours away.
Ismay:
Four hours! We'll be on the
bottom by then!
Captain:
What about the California
Mr. Bride? You said that she
might be close by...
Bride:
I'm sure she is Sir. But still no response..
Ismay:
You must demand a response...
Bride:
The smaller ships only carry one
radio man Sir. He must have signed
off and gone to bed...
Ismay:
Well keep trying for God's sake!
Bride:
There's a new distress call- SOS.
It's hardly ever been used but
it's easier to read than the CQD
and I thought perhaps if I tried...
Captain:
Try anything you like Mr. Bride!
You must rouse that ship!!
Bride:
Yes Sir! Titanic - SOS.
Situation critical!
Come in California!
Where are you old man?!
Why the hell don't you answer?!
The Blame real audio real
video
Ismay:
Surely something can be done to help us...
Andrews:
Thousands on board
Trusting and warm
Roused from their sleep
Sent up above
Unsinkable ship
What is she now?
What is she now?
Ismay:
Possibly she won't go down
Possibly she'll stay afloat
Possibly all this could come to an end
On a positive note...
Andrews:
Not unless the ship could fly
Not unless we all sprout wings!
Honestly sir, I have built her from scratch
And I know certain things!
Ismay:
If you know so much
Why didn't you know to prevent this!
What's to become of us all,
Now that providence sent this!
This is your work Mr. Andrews!
You have done us in!
Where's her leakproof bulkheads?
Where's her double skin?
That's your job!
If someone must take the blame
It is you!
You!...
Capt Smith:
Innocent folk
Held in our care
Living their lives
Dreaming their dreams
Dreaming their dreams...
Ismay:
Possibly a ship will come
Possibly we'll all be saved...
Andrews:
Dammit sir, Listen!
We're hemorrhaging fast!
It's our hull that's been staved!
Ismay:
Couldn't you design it right?
Whoever heard of steel that rips?
Andrews:
Ismay, I'm just in the business of
building
It's God who sinks ships!...
Ismay:
There stands the Captain
Who sailed us straight into disaster!
Andrews:
Oh, now it's the Captain's turn!
Pray who urged him to go faster?...
Well then, thank you Mr. Ismay
For your contribution!
Now please pray for some
miraculous solution!
Your timing is
perfect!
Now help us, please!
If you can!
Capt Smith:
Who called for speed and to break
every record?!
Who had to keep all the millionaires
happy?!
Ismay:
How dare you Smith!
I will not stand here indicted!
Who ignored warnings of icebergs when sighted?
(to Andrews) Who, Sir refused to extend up the bulkheads?!
Andrews:
You sir! To give the first class
Bigger staterooms!
Capt Smith:
And who undermined the position
of Captain?
Ismay:
And who took a course too far
north for the Season?
Capt Smith:
And who kept insisting
We land ever sooner?...
| Ismay: | Andrews: | |
| And who should | And who had to have | |
| have posted | both the largest and | |
| More lookouts | fastest?... | |
| in darkness?... |
Who did it?!
Capt Smith:
Who did it?!
Andrews:
Who did it?!
Ismay:
Who did it?!
Andrews:
Who did it?!
All three:
Who did it?!
Who did it!?!
All three pause for a possible
message from another ship...
no response...
Andrews:
Possibly the Lord will act...
Capt Smith:
Possibly he will provide...
All three:
And indicate how
Our unthinkable fate
Can be somehow denied
Somehow denied...
Ismay:(to Andrews):
Your work
No one else's;...
Andrews:
My doing
No one else's...
Capt Smith: (to himself quietly)
There's only one Captain
And I was in charge...
This is my ship
No one else's...
