Titanic Society and Class Quotes

How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Titanic.

Quote #7

CAL: Dawson! That's amazing! You could almost pass for a gentlemen!

Cal manages to insult Jack while complimenting him, of course. Sure, he seems impressed at how well Jack cleans up…but still says that Jack can only "almost" pass for a gentleman.

Quote #8

ROSE: They assumed he was one of them—heir to a railroad fortune, perhaps. New money, obviously, but still a member of the club.

In voiceover, Rose describes how the posh types reacted to Jack's appearance among them. Apparently, he passed quite nicely for a gentleman (Cal's little joke aside).

Quote #9

RUTH: Tell us of the accommodations in steerage, Mr. Dawson. I hear they're quite good on this ship.

In an effort to remind Jack of his real "place," no doubt, Ruth's first question is about how he enjoys steerage. "Classy."
