Jack"Open the gate. With his on the bars.
Steward"Go to the main stairwell, with everyone else everything will be sorted out there."
Jack"Open the gate right now!"
Steward"go back to the main stairwell, like I told you".
Jack turned around to look at Rose and Josephine , back to the gate losing his temper shacking the bars. Rose covers Josie's ears.
Jack" God D*** it to**** son of the B***!"
Jack ,Tommy and Frabizo ram the gate with the bench that was behind them.
The gate broke opened and everyone ran to the top deck. Jack and Rose were holding Josie's hands.

and scrambling over the rail.

Jack"No Rose!No Josie!"

Jack spins from the rail, running for the nearest way down to A deck. Hockley saw them jump back on to the ship. They were willing to die for this man, this gutter scum. He is was overwhelmed with anger.
Jack sees them coming into A deck foyer, running toward him. Cal's long flying out behind them as they run. They meet at the bottom of the stairs, and collide in a embrace.

Jack"Rose,Rose, your so stupid,Oh Josie your alright darling"
While he is kissing and holding them as tight as he can.
