1st Officer Petersen : [Approaches Sigrid who's waiting by one of the final lifeboats] Sigrid!
Sigrid Olinsky : Yes?
1st Officer Petersen : You're an amazing woman, my darling.
Sigrid Olinsky : I'd only done it for you.
1st Officer Petersen : Sigrid, you must get into this lifeboat and leave the ship.
Sigrid Olinsky : No. I'll go when you go.
1st Officer Petersen : As an officer, I must stay to the end. And it is in my capacity as an officer that I order you to get in the lifeboat. Those people need you to give them hope until rescue comes. I beg you... Go!
Sigrid Olinsky : [pause] So you're ordering me?
1st Officer Petersen : Yes. And it is the most difficult order I ever had to give.
Sigrid Olinsky : All right, then. I'll go.
[She reluctantly boards the lifeboat]
1st Officer Petersen : Lower away!

Sigrid Olinsky : [Sigrid Olinsky and Petersen are in the billiard room, where Astor and Ismay are playing] Sir Bruce? I have a big favor to ask of you, one which you cannot refuse.
Sir Bruce Ismay : Then of course I won't.
Sigrid Olinsky : I'd like to see the engine room.
Sir Bruce Ismay : That's a wonderful idea, we will all come along!
[to Astor]
Sir Bruce Ismay : Would you be interested?
John Jacob Astor : Of course, I'll just let my wife know.
[leaves]
Sigrid Olinsky : But we'll need an expert guide. Can't Offier Petersen come along? He's not on duty at the moment.
Sir Bruce Ismay : Of course he can.
[to Petersen]
Sir Bruce Ismay : Would you please show us the engine room?
1st Officer Petersen : Mr. President, I'm not authorized to do this.
Sir Bruce Ismay : Then I give you full authorization.
1st Officer Petersen : Mr. President, I am the First Officer, you cannot give me any authorization.
Sir Bruce Ismay : I see.
[to Steward Braun]
Sir Bruce Ismay : Mr. Brown? Please call the captain for me.

Sigrid Olinsky : You take me for a spoiled, superficial woman who indulges her every whim, don't you?
1st Officer Petersen : Now, it would seem discourteous if I didn't insist on the contrary.
Sigrid Olinsky : Then I wouldn't want to disappoint you again, so you must be right. And my whim is to prove to you that I will do anything I want.
1st Officer Petersen : That won't be difficult since, as the First Officer, it is my duty to fulfill the wishes of the passengers as much as possible.
Sigrid Olinsky : But there must be things you're expressly forbidden to do.
1st Officer Petersen : Of course. For example, I'm forbidden to visit passengers in their staterooms or take them to the engine room-...
Sigrid Olinsky : That's perfect! I would like to see the engine room.
