383
The
Titanic comes limping under the
ferries, police boats, helicopters, pleasure boats, SIRENS, HORNS and WHISTLES are going. Everything that
floats is bunting to meet the crippled liner arriving in port at last. And thousands of people are lining the shore of

384 EXT.
DOCKSIDE – DAY 384
Police barriers are keeping the crowds back. Noise and confusion. Reporters and television crews are
swarming. Pitt and Seagram leave the ship. The reporters collar Seagram. Pitt slips through. As he heads
toward the back edge of the wharf, he runs into Dana.
DANA
Hey . . . you made it.
PITT
All in one piece.
DANA
How about young Thomas Edison?
PITT
Don’t worry about him. He’ll
outlive us all.
DANA
Where is he?
PITT
(points to the Titanic)
Fighting off reporters. You’d
better get over there. They’ll
beat you out of a story.
DANA
(shakes her head)
Today’s my day off. I’m not
here on business. See you later.
She turns away, then turns back and looks at Pitt.
DANA
(continuing)
We are gonna see you, aren’t we?
PITT
Sure. You’ll see me. I’m not
going anywhere.
She turns and walks away.

ON PITT 384A
He watches her go. His face tells us nothing. Or does it?
385 LONG
SHOT – OVER PITT’S SHOULDER 385

OUT OF SHOT.
