A Night to Remember (1958)

[Chief Engineer Bell is observing several stokers and other crewmen haul long tubes into a flooding boiler room]

Crewman : What's the use, chief? All the pumps in Belfast would never keep that water down.

Chief Engineer Joseph Bell : That may be so, but the longer we can keep her afloat, the more lives will be saved. So put your backs into it!
[inside the turbine engine room]

Chief Engineer Joseph Bell : I'll have to cut down more steam.

Engineer : I'll have to get rid of some of the low watt systems.

Chief Engineer Joseph Bell : Well, you can cut the boiler room fans for a start. They're using too much electricity.

Engineer : That'll help.

Chief Engineer Joseph Bell : Good.

Engineer : How are things up top, sir? Any chance for us?

Chief Engineer Joseph Bell : Whatever happens, we've got to keep the lights going. I'll give the word when it's time to go and then it's every man for himself. But it woun't be too long. I heard that the Carpathia is on her way to us. She should reach us any time now.

[Bell exits]

Engineer : [to the crewmen] Let's hope they're right, boys. If any of you feel like praying, you'd better go ahead. The rest of you can join me for a cup of tea.
Chief Engineer Joseph Bell : [evacuating a flooding boiler room] Up the ladders, boys. Come on. Up top!
