Ismay: Most unfortunate captain.

Andrews: water 14ft above the keel in 10 minuets in the forepeak, the first 3 holds and in boiler room 6.

Ismay: when can we get underway damn it.

Andrews: That's five compartments. The ship can stay afloat with the first four compartments filled but not five. Not five. As she goes down by the head water will spill over the tops of the bulkheads at E-deck from one to the next back and back there's no stopping it.

Smith: the pumps...

Andrews: The pumps buy time but minuets only. From this moment, no matter what we do, Titanic will founder.

Ismay: but this ship can't sink.

Andrews: She's made of iron sir i assure you she can, and she will. It is a mathematical certainty.

Smith: how much time?

Andrews: An hour, two at most.

Smith and how many aboard Mr.Murdoch

Murdoch: two thousand two hundred souls on board sir.

Smith: I believe you may get your headlines Mr.Ismay.
