Mrs. Margaret 'Molly' Brown : Leadville Johnny, they call him. And he was the best golderned gold miner in Colorado! Fifteen I was when I married him.
First Class Passenger : Really?
[in deep upper-class British accent]
Mrs. Margaret 'Molly' Brown : Uh-hmm. And he didn't have a cent. Well, three months later later he struck it rich and we was millionaires. Do you know what he did?
First Class Passenger : No?
Mrs. Margaret 'Molly' Brown : He built me a house and he had silver dollars cemented all over the floors of every room!
First Class Passenger : I say, how very tiresome for you!

Mrs. Margaret 'Molly' Brown : [looks around Lifeboat 6 as it's being lowered] Hey, we've only got one sailor with us. That's not enough to manage this boat.
[calls up to the Boat Deck as other women look around and confirm her observation]
Mrs. Margaret 'Molly' Brown : Hold it there.
Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller : [to seamen at falls] Stop lowering.
[calls down to the lifeboat]
Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller : What's the matter?
Mrs. Margaret 'Molly' Brown : Hey son. We only got one sailor in this boat!
Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller : [looks around Boat Deck for any available seamen] Are there any spare hands here?
Maj. Arthur Peuchen : [looks around, notices there are no seamen around, and steps forward] I'll go, if you like.
Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller : Are you a sailor?
Maj. Arthur Peuchen : I'm a yachtsman.
Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller : [Indicates lowering ropes for the boat] If you're seaman enough to slip down that lifeline, you can go.
[shouts down to the lifeboat]
Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller : Below.
Quartermaster Robert Hitchens : Sir.
Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller : Let's have that line.
[the lifeline is swung towards the side of the ship. Lightoller grabs it after a couple of tries and holds it for Peuchen]
Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller : Right. Good luck.
[Peuchen grabs the line and swings out over the edge. Lightoller watches as he lowers himself down the rope and safely into the boat. Once he's in safely, Lightoller addresses the seamen at the falls]
Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller : Lower away together.

[the woman, Mrs. Brown steps in the lifeboat]
Sixth Officer James Moody : Still here, Miss Evans? We'll got you off in the next boat.
Miss Edith Russell : Thank you.
