TITANIC DECK - MID AFTERNOON

Pat lies in a chair, relaxing, as a distressed Jen runs past. He watches as she climbs over the railing and peers down at the freezing ocean below her.

PAT

What are you doing?

JEN

Leave me alone.

PAT

Jen?

Jen turns around to face Pat.

JEN

You're right. Cal is a jerk. We got in a fight.

She looks toward the water again.

PAT

Don't jump.

JEN

Give me one reason not to.

PAT

You don't have to be with Cal.

JEN

Yes, I do.

PAT

Why? I mean why can't...

JEN

What?

PAT

What's stopping you from being with me?

JEN

I told you, Pat. My mom will disown me.

PAT

You don't need all that money. Just, don't jump. We... we could figure this out.

Jen hesitates.

JEN

Okay.

RONALD, 23, walks towards Pat and Jen. He starts clapping slowly.

RONALD

Bravo, third class scum. Good to see you guys are doing some work around here!

JEN

Ronald! This man just saved my life and this is how you treat him?

Ronald rolls his eyes.

RONALD

Look, Jen, I was just sent to tell you to meet your mom and Cal at the dining hall.

JEN

Hey, Pat, you should come along, too. I mean, you did save my life.

Ronald shakes his head and sighs. He looks at Pat gingerly.
