There were many reasons why James Cameron left some of the scenes shot out of the picture. He had to cut down on time, as well as keep the movie flowing smoothly. Here are the cuts he made, specifically on Jack and Rose's story. I'll also try to make note as to why Cameron cut the particular scene out.

In the bedroom Rose enters with the large Degas of the dancers. She sets it on the dresser, near the canopy bed. Trudy is already in there, hanging up some of Rose's clothes.

Trudy: It smells so brand new. Like they built it all just for us. I mean...just to think that tonight, when I crawl between the sheets, I'll be the first-

Cal appears in the door way of the bedroom.

Cal:(looking at Rose) And when I crawl between the sheets tonight, I'll still be the first.

Trudy: (blushing at the innuendo) S'cuse me, Miss

She edges around Cal and makes a quick exit. Cal comes up behind Rose and puts h is hands on her shoulders. An act of possession, not intimacy.

Cal: The first and only. Forever.

Rose's expression shows how bleak a prospect this is for her, now.

*Cameron cut this scene out because he found it uneccesary. This same feeling can be expressed throughout the film by such instances as Cal calling Rose "Sweetpea" and other gestures made towards her. Kate Winslet and Billy Zane had ended this scene with Rose giving Cal a kiss on the cheek and Cal noting that he too likes the Degas painting. This was one of the few moments of affection shown between the two which was lost in the cut.

Angle beneath table showing Rose's hand, holding a tiny fork from her crab salad. She pokes the crab-fork into the skin of her arm, harder and harder until it draws blood.

Corridor/B Deck-Night Rose walkes along the corridor. A steward coming the other way greets her, and she nods with a slight smile. She is perfectly composed.

Rose's Bedroom-Night She enters the room. Stands in teh middle, staring at her reflection in the large vanity mirror. Just stands there, then-

With a primal anguished cry she claws at her throat, ripping off her pearl necklace, which explodes across the room. In a frenzy she tears at herself, her clothes, her hair...then attacks the room. She flings everything off the dresser and it flies clattering against the wall. She hurls a handmirror against the vanity, cracking it.

*Cameron wanted us to see Rose the way Jack saw her, running along the boat deck, not knowing why she's there.

Rose: The next day, Saturday, I remember thinking how the sunlight felt. As if I hadn't felt the sunlight in years.

It is Saturday, April 13, 1912. Rose unlatches the gate to go down into third class. The steerage men on the deck stop what they're doing and stare at her.

Helga's eye is caught by something. Fabrizio looks, does a take..and Jack, curious, follows their gaze to see Rose, coming toward them. The activity in the room stops...a hush falls. Rose feels suddenly self conscious as the steerage passengers stare openly at this princess, some with resentment, others with awe. She spots Jack and gives a little smile, walking straight to him. He rises to meet her, smiling.

Rose: Hello Jack.

Fabrizio and Tommy are floored. It's like the slipper fitting Cinderella.

Jack: Hello again.

Rose: Could I speak to you in private?

Jack: Uh, yes. Of course. After you.

He motions her ahead and follows. Jack glances over his shoulder, one eyebrow raised, as he walks out with her leaving a stunned silence.

*At the beginning of this scene, we find romance blossoming between the Norwegian girl Helga Dahl and Jack's friend Fabrizio. Cameron knew that in order for the film to be a success, he must focus on only one romance.

Rose and Jack stroll aft, past people lounging on deck chairs in the slanting late-afternoon light. Stewards scurry to serve tea or hot cocoa.

Rose: (girlish and excited) You know, my dream has always been to just chuck it all and become an artist..living in a garret, poor but free!

Jack: (laughing) You wouldn't last two days. There's no hot water, and hardly ever any caviar.

Rose: (angry in a flash) Listen, buster...I hate caviar! And I'm tired of people dismissing my dreams with a chuckle and a pat on the head.

Jack: I'm sorry. Really...I am.

Rose: Well, all right. There's something in me, Jack. I fieel it. I don't know what it is, whether I should be an artist, or, I don't know...a dancer. Like Isadora Duncan...a wild pagan sprit..

She leaps forward, lands deftly and whirls like a dervish. Then seh sees somethinga head and her face lights up.

Rose: ...or a moving picture actress!

She takes his hand and runs, pulling him along the deck toward

Daniel and Mary Marvin. Daniel is cranking the big wooden movie camera as she poses stiffly at the rail.

Marvin: You're sad. Sad, sad, sad. You've left your lover on the shore. You may never see him again. Try to be sadder, darling.

Suddenly Rose shoots into the shot and strikes a theatrical pose at teh rail next to Mary. Mary bursts out laughing. Rose pulls Jack into the picture and makes him pose. Marving grins and starts yelling and gesturing. We see this in cuts, with music and no dialogue.

Series of cuts: Rose posing tragically at the rail, the back of her hand on her forehead; Jack on a deck chair, pretending to be a Pasha, the two girls pantomiming fanning him like slave girls; Jack, on his knees, pleading with his hands clasped while Rose, standing, turns her head in bored disdain; Rose cranking the camera, while Daniel and Jack have a western shoot-out. Jack wins and leers into the lens, twirling an air mustache like Snidley Whiplash

*Cameron decided not to include the part where Rose aspires to be an actress (though it was shot) because, as he puts it "I just began to get this twinge that the moment you hear a character talking about their dreams and aspirations you know they're going to die." As for the Marvins, Cameron said the studio was requesting cuts and the Marvins became "sacrifial lambs".

The stars blaze overhead, so bright and clear you can see the Milky Way. Rose and Jack walk along the row of lifeboats. Still giddy from the party, they are singing a popular song "Come Josephine in My Flying Machine".

Jack & Rose: Come Josephine in my flying machine, and it's up she goes! Up she goes! In the air she goes. Where? There she goes!

They fumble the words and break down laughing. They have reached the First Class entrance, but don't go straight in, not wanting the evening to end. Through the doors the sound of the ship's orchaestra wafts gently. Rose grabs a davit and leans back, staring at teh cosmos.

Rose: Look. Isn't it magnificent? So grand and endless.

She goes to the rail and leans on it.

Rose: They're such small people, Jack...my crowd. They think they're giants on the earth, but they're not even dust in God's eye. They live inside this little tiny champagne bubble...and someday the bubble's going to burst.

He leans at the rail next to her, his hand just touching hers. It is the slightest contact imaginable, and all either one of themc an feel is that square inch of skin where their hands are touching.

Jack: You're not one of them. There's been a mistake.

Rose: A mistake?

Jack: Uh huh. You got mailed to the wrong address.

Rose: (laughing) I did, didn't I? (pointing suddenly) Look! A shooting star.

Jack: That was a long one. My father used to say that whenever you saw one, it was a soul going to heaven.

Rose: I like that. Aren't we supposed to wish on it?

Jack looks at her, and finds that they are suddenly very close together. It would be so easy to move another couple of inches, to kiss her. Rose seems to be thinking the same thing.

Jack: What would you wish for?

After a beat, Rose pulls back.

Rose: Something I can't have. (she smiles sadly) Goodnight, Jack. And thank you.

She leaves the rail and hurries through the First Class Entrance

Jack: Rose!!

But the door bangs shut, and she is gone. Back to her world.

*Cameron eliminated this scene not only for pacing, but also because he liked the contrast of going from the carefree world down in steerage to the strained relationship of Rose and Cal.

Aft Well Deck, B-Deck & A-Deck -Day Jack, walking with determination, is followed closely by Tommy and Fabrizio. He quickly climbs the steps to B-Deck and steps over the gate separating 3rd from 2nd class.

Tommy: She's a goddes amongst mortal men, there's no denyin'. But she's in another world, Jackie, forget her. She's closed the door.

Jack moves furtively to the wall below the A-deck promenade, aft.

Jack: It was them, not her. (glancing around the deck) Ready...go.

Tommy shakes his head resignedly and puts his hands together, crouching down. Jack steps into Tommy's hands and gets boosted up to the next deck, where he scrambles nimbly over the railing, onto the First Class deck.

Tommy: He's not bein' logical, I tell ya.

Fabrizio: Amore is'a not logical

*Cameron most likely found this uneccesary in the story, but I thought it was a nice show of friendship between the three men, as well as Jack's determination to see Rose again.

Boiler Room #6 The furnaces roar, silhouetting the glistening stokers. Jack kisses Rose's face, tasting the sweat trickling down from her forehead. They kiss passionately in the steamy, pounding darkness.

*Cameron decided to delete this scene because he wanted the next kiss to come from Rose. This would show how she's taking control of her destiny.

Jack and Rose are leaning over the starboard rail, looking at the hull of the ship.

Jack: Looks okay. I don't see anything.

Rose: Could it have damaged the ship?

Jack: It didn't seem like much of a bump. I'm sure we're okay.

Behind them a couple of steerage guys are kicking the ice around the deck, laughing.

This scene ended with Rose dropping a piece of ice down Jack's shirt and Jack teasingly threatening to throw Rose overboard. This scene was cut, however, for pacing.

Cal:I put the diamond in my coat pocket. And I put my coat...on on her.

He turns to Lovejoy with a sickly expression, his eyes glittering.

Cal: I give it to you...if you can get it.

He hands Lovejoy the pistol and goes back up the stairs. Lovejoy thinks about it...then slogs into the water. The icewater is up to his waist as he crosses the pool to the dining saloon.

Dining Saloon Lovejoy moves among the tables and ornate columns, seraching...listening..his eyes tracking rapidly. It is a sea of tables, and they could be anywhere. A silver serving trolley rolls downhill, bumping into tables and pillars.

He glances behind him. The water is following him into the room, advancing in a hundred foot wide tide. The reception room is now a roiling lake, and the grand staircase is submerged past the first landing. Monstrous groans echo through the ship.

On Jack & Rose, crouched behind a table, somewhere in the middle. They see the water advancing toward them, swirling over the floor. They crawl ahead of it to the next row of tables.

Jack: (whispering) Stay here.

He moves off as Lovejoy moves over one row and looks along the tables. Nothing. The ship groans and creaks. He moves another row.

Angle on metal cart..five feet tall and full of stacks of china dishes. It starts to roll down the aisle between tables.

On Rose as the cart rolls toward her. It hits a table and teh stacks of dishes topple out, exploding across the floor and showering her.

She scrambles out of the way and-Lovejoy spins, seeing her. He moves rapidly toward her, keeping the gun aimed-

That's when Jack tackles him from the side. They slam together into a table, crashing over it, and toppling to the floor. They land in the water which is flowing rapidly between the tables.

Jack and Lovejoy grapple in the icy water. Jack jams his knee down on Lovejoy's hand, breaking his grip on the pistol, and kicks it away. Lovejoy scrambles up and lunges at him, but Jack gutpunches him right in the solar plexus, doubling him over.

Jack: Compliments of the Chippewa Falls Dawsons

He grabs Lovejoy and slams him into an ornate column. Lovejoy drops to the floor with a splash, stunned.

Jack: Let's go.

Jack and Rose run aft...uphill..entering the galley. Behind them the tables have become islands in a lake..and the far end of the room is flooded up to the ceiling. Lovejoy gets up and looks around for his gun. He pulls it up out of the water and wades after them.

They run through the galley and Rose spots the stairs. She starts up and Jack grabs her hand. He leads her DOWN.

The crouch together in teh landing as Lovejoy runs to the stairs. Assuming they have gone up (who wouldn't?) he clomps up them two at a time.

*Cameron's main reasoning behind removing this scene was the audience's reaction. "Audiences hated this scene" Cameron reflected. Cameron wanted Jack to be heroic and win out against Lovejoy. He also wanted it to stay in because it was visually impressive, and had cost quite a bit of money to shoot. Cameron tried shortening the scene, but audiences still hated the scene. "I realized that by introducing guns and fist fights I had committed a tonal violation. Audiences didn't want the additional jeopardy because they were so completely focused on the dangers of the sinking. The scene had to come out." Luckily, Cameron was still able to keep the visual effect of the dining saloon scene in by showing it and digitally editing Lovejoy out.

Jack strokes rhythmically, the effort keeping him from freezing.

Jack: Look for something floating. Some debris...wood..anything.

Rose: It's so cold.

Jack: I know. I know. Help me here. Look around.

His words keep her focused, taking her mind off the wailing around them. Rose scans the water, panting, barely able to draw a breath. She turns and..screams.

A devil is right in front of her face. It is the black French Bulldog, swimming right at her like a seamonster in the darkness, its coal eyes bugging. It motors past her, like it is heading for Newfoundland.

*Cameron probably decided to cut this for pacing reasons.

Cal confronts Rose on Carpathia

Rose is sipping hot tea. Her eyes focus on him as he approaches her. He barely recognizes her. She looks like a refugee, her matted hair hanging in her eyes.

Rose: Yes, I lived. How awkward for you.

Cal: Rose..your mother and I have been looking for you-

She holds up her hand, stopping him.

Rose: Please don't. Don't talk. Just listen. We will make a deal, since that is something you understand. From this moment you do not exist for me, nor I for you. You shall not see me again. And you will not atempt to find me. In return I will keep my silence. Your actions last night need never come to light, and you will get to keep the honor you have so carefully purchased.

She fixes him with a glare as cold and hard as the ice which changed their lives.

Rose: Is this in any way unclear?

Cal:(after a long beat) What do I tell your mother?

Rose: Tell her that her daugheter died with the Titanic.

She stands, turning to the rail. Dismissing him. We see Cal stricken with emotion.

Cal: You're precious to me, Rose.

Rose: Jewels are precious. Goodbye, Mr. Hockely.

We see that in this way, the only way he knows, he does truly love her.

*Cameron realized that after everything Rose had been through, it was too soon for her to show so much resolve. "She's a strong character now, but her inspiration for her strength is gone."
