Behind the Scenes: Scene Facts: Confrontations

"You are my wife in practice if not yet by law so you will honor me!" This line is another of Cameron's open-ended lines (much like Rose's death/dream). Does this mean Rose was not a virgin with Jack? Or did Cal mean that she was his wife by daily things? You be the judge!
This scene left Trudy in a bit more. The script actually had Rose and Trudy interacting more, and you could tell that Trudy was the only friend that Rose had.
Rose was actually written to have been tightening Ruth's corset, and being a bit meaner in this scene. Cameron and the actors decided that the scene had much more of an effect with Rose being in the corset.
Anytime that Rose has a confrontation, her painting is in the room.
At the end of this scene it was scripted for Ruth to slap Rose. The slap was changed to a kiss, to save the dramatic slap for later in the movie.
