323 EXT.
DECK, TITANIC – AMIDSHIPS – HIGH ANGLE – DAY 323
We’re SHOOTING DOWN INTO an open hatchway. C.P.O. WELCH, SEAMAN ERICSON and
SEAMAN LARCH and a half a dozen other men are trying with crowbars to dislodge a rusted steel beam
that’s angled across a hatchway. No luck.
WELCH
(looks up INTO the CAMERA)
We can’t budge it, sir. This
hatchway is just as jammed as
the others.
We PULL STRAIGHT UP TO AN OVER-SHOULDER, Seagram, Pitt and Giordino looking down
into the hatchway.
GIORDINO
We’d need dynamite to get down
through that mess.
PITT
I was afraid of that. That means
we’ll
have to tow her to
where they’ve got the cutting gear
we need.
324 EXT.
DECK – ANOTHER ANGLE 324
Sandecker comes out on deck. Hurries aft to Pitt.
PITT
What’s the word?
SANDECKER
shouldn’t have a problem. But the
Navy’s
station in
their tune. They say it’s going to blow
right through us.
PITT
Let’s hope the Navy’s wrong.
