Thomas Andrews:
Mr. Lightoller! Why are the boats being launched half full?
2nd Officer Lightoller:
Not now, Mr. Andrews.
Thomas Andrews:
[points to a departing lifeboat]
There, look. Twenty or so in a boat built for 65? And I saw one boat with only twelve. Twelve!
2nd Officer Lightoller:
Well, we weren't sure of the weight, Mr. Andrews. These boats may buckle.
Thomas Andrews:
Rubbish. They were tested in Belfast with the weight of seventy men! Now, fill these boats, Mr. Lightoller, for God's sake, man!
2nd Officer Lightoller:
[turns to look at the departing lifeboat; turns back to the crowd]
Please! I need more women and children, please!
