ROSE
Now is not the time
To list all your credentials
If you think I'd stand aside
I’d ask if you are mental

HERSCHEL
Mental?

ROSE
I am more than qualified
And capable in a crunch
You are just dissatisfied
That I beat you to the punch
I appreciate your attempts
To be chivalrous
So I'll respond in a way
That's unambiguous

HERSCHEL
By all means

ROSE
Tell me the real reason why
You don’t want me to go
HERSCHEL
Uh… well, you see–

ROSE
When you figure it out
Just give me a shout
Hershey, you should know me better

HERSCHEL
‘Hershey'?
Now is not the time
To be so ovеrzealous
And you would be the crazy onе
If you think I am jealous

ROSE
Jerk

HERSCHEL
Things are moving way too fast
Don't be reckless here
The paper stand is in the past
So don't act out of fear
You can have all the adventure
You desire
ROSE
Uh-huh

HERSCHEL
So before you throw kerosine
On the fire

ROSE
Now, when have I ever done that?

HERSCHEL
Do you really think I'd hold you back
From where you want to go

ROSE
Ugh, you are infuriating!

HERSCHEL
Once you think it through
I have news for you
You should know me better

SAMUEL
They'd make the same kind of fuss if we were
Going
MARGARET
At least they're talking

ROSE
We've worked side by side
Over cities and tides
You should know me better

HERSCHEL
You’ve seen my face
Way up in space
You should know me better

ROSE
You know I’m going

HERSCHEL
I know you're going

ROSE, HERSCHEL
The ship is leaving soon

ROSE
I’ll bring you back a souvenir

HERSCHEL
Pray danger won't appear

ROSE
Ugh, John!
Just tell me how you feel
…Tell me

HERSCHEL
Rose– Miss Stratford– I– (sighs) At the first sign
Of fog, get inside the ship

ROSE
I know–

HERSCHEL
Whatever it is, it can't penetrate the hull. At least
I don't think I can–

ROSE
John, I’ll be fine–

HERSCHEL
This is important

ROSE
I know
I'm not the one that's scared

HERSCHEL
That's unfair

ROSE
Perhaps I know you better

HERSCHEL
Follow the stars

ROSE
I won't be far

HERSCHEL
Perhaps I know you better

ROSE, HERSCHEL
I know you better
