Ismay:
So you've not yet lit the last four boilers?
Smith:
No, I don't see the need. We are making excellent time.
Ismay:
The press knows the size of Titanic. Now I want them to marvel at her speed. We must give them something new to print! This maiden voyage of Titanic must make headlines!
Smith:
Mr. Ismay, I would prefer not to push the engines until they've been properly run in.
Ismay:
Of course, I'm just a passenger. I leave it to your good offices to decide what's best. But what a glorious end to your final crossing if we were to get to New York on Tuesday night and surprise them all! Make the morning papers. Retire with a bang, eh E.J.?
Ismay:
[Smith nods reluctantly]
Good man.
