A Night to Remember (1958)

Jack Watling: Fourth Officer Joseph Boxhall

Quotes 

• Fourth Officer Joseph Boxhall : [after the Californian still hasn't taken any apparent notice of the distress rockets being fired]  What's the matter with him, is he *blind*?

• Fourth Officer Joseph Boxhall : [peering through his binoculars as he and Rowe are desperately trying to contact the Californian through rockets and the morse lamp]  Maybe someone tried to signal, but I can't make any sense out of it.

  Quartermaster George Thomas Rowe : Could be a masthead light flickering, couldn't it, sir?

  Fourth Officer Joseph Boxhall : [frustrated and angry at the other ship's blindness]  If I had a gun, I'd put a *shell* into him!

• Engineer : She's making water fast, sir. The mail hold's practically full already.

  Captain Edward J. Smith : Aren't the pumps working?

  First Officer William Murdoch : Yes sir.

  Captain Edward J. Smith : [indicates engineer can return to his job]  Thank you.

  Fourth Officer Joseph Boxhall : The engine room says they'll need more. They're rigging them now.

  Chairman J. Bruce Ismay : This is most unfortunate, Captain.

  Captain Edward J. Smith : Yes sir.

  Chairman J. Bruce Ismay : Do you think the ship is seriously damaged?

  Captain Edward J. Smith : I'm afraid she is.

  [sees Andrews arrive on the bridge] 

  Captain Edward J. Smith : Excuse me.

  Chairman J. Bruce Ismay : [to Murdoch]  How long is this likely to delay us?

  First Officer William Murdoch : Not long, I expect, sir.

  Captain Edward J. Smith : [to Andrews, quietly]  We've struck a berg. I think she's badly damaged. I would like to know *how* badly.

  Thomas Andrews : Right. I'll go down and have a look.
