SMITH
That's right. The distress call. CQD. Tell whoever responds that we are going down by the head and need immediate assistance.

Smith hurries out.

PHILLIPS
Blimey.


BRIDE
Maybe you ought to try that new distress call... S.O.S.
(grinning)
It may be our only chance to use it.

Phillips laughs in spite of himself and starts sending history's first S.O.S. Dit dit dit, da da da, dit dit dit... over and over.



Why this scene's absence is important: Titanic was the first to transmit the S.O.S. signal and Bride's joke about being the first to use it would have added this to the story. CQD is mentioned in the final cut, and both were used on the real ship.
