Epilogue: In Every Age (reprise) / Finale

ANDREWS
In every age mankind attempts
To fabricate great works
At once magnificent
And impossible...

On desert sands, from mountains of stone
A pyramid!
From flying buttresses alone
A wall of light!
A chapel ceiling
Screaming one man's ecstasy!
One man's ecstasy...

Miracles them all!
China's endless wall...
Stonehenge, The Parthenon, The Duomo
The aqueducts of Rome

We did not attempt to make
With mammoth blocks of stone
A giant pyramid
No, not a pyramid...
Nor gothic walls that radiate with light...

Our task was to dream upon
And then create
A floating city!
Floating city!...

A human metropolis...
A complete civilization!
Sleek!
And fast!
At once a poem
And the perfection
Of physical engineering...

At once a poem
And the perfection
Of physical engineering...

BARRETT
How did they build Titanic?
Near a thousand feet in length.
Huge beyond past endeavor
Strong beyond mortal strength

Forty-six thousand tons of steel
Eleven stories high!
She's a great palace, floating...
Quiet as a lullaby

BARRETT
Fare-thee-well, my darlin'
I'll be back before a fortnight has passed...

BRIDE
Fare-thee-well, my dalin'
I'll be back before a

Ship of dreams!

BARRETT, BRIDE, FLEET& CREWMEN
Sailing day!
Morning bright!
Take your flight!
Ship of dreams!...

She strains at her lines,
The smoke from he funnels trailing.
Her prow like a knife,
She'll cut through the waves unfailing.

Soon to be
Underway,
Size and speed unexplored...
And I'll be aboard
That ship of dreams!

I'm Katherine McGowan, but everyone calls me Kate.

KATE MULLINS

KATE MURPHEY
And I'm Kate three! Kate Murphey-

KATE MULLINS
It must be fate, then!

KATE MCGOWAN
It's not fate. It's Irish.

3RD CLASS PASSENGERS
It's to America we aim
To find a better life,
We prayed to make this trip!

That this day long ago
We dreamt of them
And came aboard this ship!

For the maiden voyage!
For the maiden voyage!
Get us all aboard!

PITMAN

CHARLES CLARKE

Has quite done justice to this!

EDGAR BEANE
It's a sight for once in a lifetime!

EDGAR & ALICE BEANE, CLARKE & CAROLINE NEVILLE
Yes, a sight for once in a lifetime!

CLARKE
And the chance to run away
And marry now
We two daren't miss!

CAROLINE NEVILLE
It's a chance for once in a lifetime!

2ND CLASS PASSENGERS

Can't wait to board that ship today,
Be with her when she pulls away
And takes her maiden sail,
I must get on that ship!
The largest, grandest on the earth,
And I've reserved a berth
To be aboard, now point me toward
That ship!

ALIBE BEANE
The finest people will attend.
The best among them we'll befriend
They'll stand right next to us,
Be at my fingertip...

ALL
Great heads of state and millionaires
Who run the world's affairs
Will be there.

PITMAN
Colonel John Jacob Astor
And Mrs. Astor, too.
Arriving now from the boat train
Direct from Waterloo station
May procced to their parlour suite
A-62!

ALICE BEANE
Her name is Madeleine
She's John Jacob Astor's second wife,
She's only nineteen-years-old
And now she's married to a prominent man
Worth over a hundred and fifty million
And twenty-nine years her senior!

They've only been married seven months
She's already seven months pregnant
And the scandal was such
They ran away to Europe to avoid the publicity!
Avoid the publicity!

PITMAN
Mr. and Mrs. Isidor Straus may proceed to Parlour Suite B-55!-

ALICE BEANE
Aren't they modest?
You'd never think by looking at them
That he and his brother own Macy's Department store...
Own Macy's Department store
Outright!
And he was very close advisor
To President Grover Cleveland
And served in the House of Representatives
Two full terms!
And that's his wife of forty years, named Ida
Sad! She hasn't been well
So the two of them have been wintering
On the French Riviera
French Riviera!

PITMAN
Mr. Benjamin Guggenheim and party will find his customary
suite on "A" deck!

ALICE BEANE
Made his money by smelting gold
Spends it like water
Forty-five hundred dollars for
The Louis Quatorze suite!
So he can live in luxurious sin
With his latest mistress!
And they call that justice!
They call that justice?...

PITMAN

ALICE BEANE
No one really knows who she is
But the newspaper says she booked
The most expensive suite on the ship
And travels with fourteen steamer trunks
A medicine chest
Her personal pillows and sheets
And four little Pekinese dogs...
So she must be somebody!
She must be somebody!...

PITMAN
Last call for boarding!
This is the very last call for boarding!

ALL
Lift up the ramp
Let go the lines
Raise up her colours and designs!
Prepare for casting off
And through the port we'll slip
Each person standing at the rail,
Let one great thought prevail,
One single prayer...

God bless this noble ship!

PITMAN
All ashore who are going ashore!
All ashore who are going ashore!

COMPANY
Farewell, farewell
Godspeed, Titanic...
From your berth glide free!
As you plough the deep,
In your arms I'll keep.
Safely west
May you carry me.

Sail on, sail on
Grest ship, Titanic...
Cross the open sea
Pray the journey's sound
Till your port be found
Fortune's winds
Sing Godspeed to thee...

Fotune's winds
Sing Godspeed
To thee!

BARRETT
She's sparkling clean, this new-born ship
But one old thing is clear
The orders they propose above
We execue down here...

We'll watch form here as up above
They'll catch a whiff of glory
This wonder ship may be brand new
But it's the same old story...

Stoke the fire in the hold
As the men draw back...
Feed the heat in the hold
As the men draw back
And the dust of the coal in the air is black
And a trickle of sweat runs down your back...

And what are the boys from the midlands doing here?

Coal it is that makes the steam
That runs the machines that run the world
That sends the men below the ground
To mine the coal
Each day...

From Leicestershire and Nottingham
Us lads who worked down in the pit
Knew if you got above the ground
You'd save your soul
Some way...

Get out of the pit
And westward I knew I could run
And ship out to sea and there my new life was begun...
And the screws are turning at seventy-one...

It became my dream to go out to sea...
Further out from the mine you couldn't be...
But, born to the coal, there's no place for you elsewhere
You trade a life of dank and gloom
To shovel in the boiler room
But now your seven decks below
A lady's dainty feet...

And nothing has changed
There's nothing a miner can do
The pit and your mates
Turned into the hold and the crew...
And the screws are turnin at seventy-two...

Faster and faster we watch as we gain ever more
Seventy-three, and too soon it is seventy-four...

For a record speed I belive we strive!
For the maiden ship that's too hard to drive
If you push her faster than seventy-five.

That is the truth
I swear!

MURDOCH
Thousands on board
Each in his class
You are the master of all that must pass

Yours to set course
Yours to command
You hold their souls
In the palm of your hand

You hold their souls
In the palm of your hand

KATE MCGOWAN

ETCHES
My dear Mr. Latimer!
Prepare to greet out clientele
Our meeting is imminent
Our having just rung the dinner bell
It won't be a novelty
We mostly have seen them all before...

Prepare for the usual
You should be aware of what's in store...
We've served them on the Baltic
And the Oceanic,
Olympic and Majestic
And today's the same
There's nothing changed...

Mr. Astor takes his toast dry
Mrs. Straus likes the grouse
With the sauce on the side
And the Wideners love Kidney pie
Bring it hot, if it's not
They'll be fit to be tied
They're accustomed to the best
Of all that money buys
The world of free enterprise
Has given this privilege to the rich...

When they're idle
They're entitled to the luxury
Which we provide
That's forever the source of out pride...
Which is why we're always there
With our especial form of care
For evey hungry millionaire
By now they've all arrived...

ETCHES
Keep the Captain's table pristine
Where wer seat the elite whom we happily serve
Here they dine on fine French cuisine
It's the Creme de la Creme's
Exclusive preserve!

It's the pleasure of the leisure class's greatest wits
To be where the Captain sits
When taking their dinner on the sea
Giving deference to their preferences is our greatest art!
We play a part
In a perfectly worling machine

You should ever be aware
This is a privilege great and rare
A special burden that we bear
In our respective lives!

MILLIONAIRES

Fifty yards, two thousand miles

And the night was alive
With a thousand voices
Fighting to be heard
And each and every one of them
Connected to me...

And my life cam alive
With a thousand voices
Tapping out each word

It was oh, such a dream come true!

EDGAR BEANE
That class isn't for our kind, Alice...

ALICE BEANE
That won't do!

There are hotels on islands, Edgar!
Great resorts on a sandy beach...

EDGAR BEANE
That's a world that's beyond our income
And our reach...

ALICE BEANE
Please don't tell me never
I'll want this forever...ever...

There's a new world around us, Edgar

Won't you ever give up that view?

No moon
No wind
Nothing to spy things by
No wave

No line where sea meets sky
Stillness
Darkness
Can't see a thing, says I
No reflection
Not a shadow
Not a glint of light
Meets the eye...

And we go sailing
Sailing
Ever westward on the sea
We go sailing
Sailing
Ever on
Go we...

IDA STRAUS
It's a beautiful night, Mr. Straus
Even though there's no moon
Look at all the stars
Can you find the big dipper?

ISIDOR STRAUS
The big dipper? I can't even find our own stateroom.
Every time I go out for a walk, finding my way back is
an adventure.

IDA STRAUS
Maybe you drop some bread crumbs

ISIDOR STRAUS
Can you feel how cold it's getting, Mrs. Straus?
All in the past couple of hours
Would you like me to get your fur stole?

IDA STRAUS
What, and maybe never see you again?
No thank you, I'd rather freeze

JIM FARRELL
Are you cold, then, Katie?

KATE MCGOWAN
Not now that you've got your arm around me...

JIM FARRELL
But I don't-
Oh, you're a funny one, Kate Mcgowan.

KATE MCGOWAN
Funny? T'anks very much.

JIM FARRELL
Becasue you come right out with what you want.

KATE MCGOWAN
And you find that funny, do you?
What kind of girl do you think I am?
You think I need to be told what I want?
Life's too short for that, me boy-o

CAPT. SMITH
The weather's quite changed, Mr. Lightoller

LIGHTOLLER
Yes, Sir, it's turned very cold
Only one point above freezing

MURDOCH

Warn the carpenter to check our supply of fresh water,
Mr. Murdoch

MURDOCH
Aye, aye, sir

There's not much wind, is there?

Oh, darling, you're sure to be a success!

CHARLES CLARKE
Let us both hope so...

BOTH
That's why we're going there...

Best of friends...

All through each languorous season
We ebb and flow
Romance, defying all reason
Will come, then go

Still, perhaps this Autumn
Love won't retreat in the Autumn
ALl that we have won't be past
...Won't be past

Let breezes blow
And turn cold
As we continue growing old
This Autumn
Love newly found
May yet last

MRS. CARDOZA
So what do you say, gentlemen? I happen to play an excellent
game of auction bridge. May I join you?

THE MAJOR
Where's your sense of occasion, madam?
I understand you've just lost your husband.

MRS. CARDOZA
Yes. But not at cards.

FLEET
Ahead we plow
Into the darkening night
Can't see the bow
How then the search
With only starlight?...

FLEET & PERSONNEL PASSENGERS
No moon Autumn
No wind Shall we all meet in the
Nothing to spy things Autumn?
By Golden and glowing, by
No wave Autumn
No swell Shall we still be best of friends
No line where sea Best of friends?
Meets sky Best of friends...No wind

FLEET, PERSONNEL, PASSENGERS
Stillness, darkness
Can't see a thing, says I
No reflection
Not a shadow
Not a glint of light
Meets the eye

PASSENGERS FLEET, PERSONNEL
And we go sailing
See how calm it is
Sailing
Smooth as polished glass

Ah, the open sea On the sea, we go...

1ST CLASS PASSENGERS
Strange and quite disorienting being here...
Recently awakened from a dream...
How the lights burn,
Every crystal bright as a star!

Dressed in you pyjamas in the Grand salon,
Looks to be bizarre in the extreme...
Things could improve if the steward opens the bar!

Oh...it's a memory I'll want to keep
Now..I would like to go
Back to sleep...

Wondering if things are what they seem

ETCHES
The latest word, sir, seems to be that she's damaged one
of the wing propellers and we could be delayed for an entire
day, sir.

THAYER
I don't like the way this sounds...

BANJAMIN GUGGENHEIM
Not a bit, not a bit, not a little bit...

THAYER
We spent eighteen hundred pounds

GUGGENHEIM
Not a bit, not a bit, not a little bit...

ISMAY
Surly something can be done to help us...

ANDREWS
Thousands on board
Trusting and warm
Roused from their sleep
Sent up above
Unsinkable ship
What 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
Possible 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?

Who, sir, refused to extend up the bulheads?!

ANDREWS
You, sir! To give the first class
Bigger staterooms!

CAPT. SMITH
And who undermined the postion 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
And who should have posted ANDREWS
More lookouts in darkness?! And who had to have both
The largest and fastest?...
Who did?!

CAPT. SMITH
Who did it?! Who did it?!

ISMAY
Who did it?! Who did it?!

ALL THREE
Who did it?!
Who did it?!

ANDREWS
Possible the lord will act...

CAPT. SMITH
Possible 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
There's only one Captain
And I was in charge...
This is my ship
No one else's...

In my memory's eye
And all this love of ours will soar
Come dawn or danger

ETCHES
Thousands on board
Each in his class
You are the master of all that must pass
Yours to set course
Yours to command
You hold their souls
In the palm of your hand

You hold their souls
In the palm of your hand.

ANDREWS
Just a cursory look at the blueprints here
Shows the weaknesses that we have missed
How the water poured in
A three-hundred-foot gash
And caused the bow to flood and to list

And then it filled to the top
Our separate watertight compartments
And began to overflow...
Because the walls in-between the compartments
Are too low!
She's only sinking because these bulkheads
Stop a deck too low!

But here's a thought! Take the line...
And extend up the walls to the brink...
It's just a small redesing...
But when it's done then i know she can't sink!
Like this!... Like this!...
Like this!... Like this!...

The ship will start to plunge beneath the surface
The water lapping at our feet
Down sinks the bow, up flies the stern
To the sky...
The panicked people in retreat
A thousand strong, they'll climb up
Toward the aft deck
They'll cling there desperately
Like bees to a hive!
There they'll hold fast
Doomed to the last
Lost and abandoned and all still alive

A few of them will hang there
From the railings
As, one by one, they'll drop away!
More than two-hundred-fifty feet
They will fall
And after that, I cannot say
I will not say...

The rest, in swarms, will overrun the boat deck
They'll lose all sense of right and wrong
It will be "Eevery man from himself", all right!
The weak thrown in with the strong!

First class, and third, and second
Will mean nothing!
And sheer humanity alone will prevail
One single class
Brute, harsh and crass
That's what will come of the world that set sail

Autumn...
Shall we all meet in the Autumn?...
Shall we all meet in the Autumn?...

BRIDE
Fare thee well
May the Lord who watches all
Watch over thee
May God's heaven be your blanket
As you softly sleep...

ALL SURVIVORS
Softly sleep...

In every age mankind attempts
To fabricate great works
At once magnificent
And impossible...

On desert sands, from mountains of stone
A pyramid!
From flying buttresses alone
A wall of light!
A chapel ceiling
Screaming one man's ecstasy!
One man's ecstasy...

Miracles them all!
China's endless wall...
Stonehenge, The Parthenon, The Duomo
The aqueducts of Rome

We did not attempt to make
With mammoth blocks of stone
A giant pyramid
No, not a pyramid...
Nor gothic walls that radiate with light...

COMPANY
Our task was to dream upon
And then create
A floating city!

OFFSTAGE VOICES
Floating city!...

COMPANY
A human metropolis...
A complete civilization!
Sleek!
And fast!
At once a poem
And the perfection
Of physical engineering...

At once a poem
And the perfection
Of physical engineering...

Sail on, sail on
Great ship Titanic!
Cross the open sea
Pray the journey's sound
Till your port be found
Fortune's winds
Sing Godspeed to thee...

Fortune's winds
Sing Godspeed
To thee!
