I found this "Revised Version of Titanic" on a message board one day and pretty much laughed until I was sick. Some people might think this is insulting to Titaniacs like ourselves, but I thought it was humorous. I don't know who wrote this, but thanks to whoever did.
Scene 1
KATE WINSLET: My, this is a fancy boat, isn't it?
KATE'S WEASELY FIANCE: Yes, it certainly is. Here is the art you asked for. It is by an artist named "Picasso." I am certain he will amount to nothing.
KATE: Ha ha ha. That is very funny to our 90s audience, because they know these priceless paintings will sink with the boat.
LEONARDO DiCAPRIO: Hello, I'm Leonardo DiCaprio. Perhaps you have seen the many Internet sites dedicated to the worship of me. You are very pretty.
KATE: Thank you. So are you.
LEONARDO: I know. Prettier than you, in fact. I am going to put on my "brooding" face now, to ensure that women will keep coming back again
and again to see this movie. Later, my white shirt will be soaking
wet. Women will find this very attractive, even though I have the body
of a 12-year-old.
KATE: While you're doing that, I will concentrate on standing here and looking pretty to keep the men in the audience interested until the
boat sinks and the action starts.
WEASELY FIANCE: Excuse me. I do not like you, Leonardo, even though you saved my fiancee's life. I am going to sneer at you and treat you like dirt because you're poor, and then I'll probably be physically
abusive to my fiancee, and then, just to make sure the audience really
hates me, and to make sure my character is entirely one-dimensional,
perhaps I'll throw a small child into the water.
AUDIENCE: Boo! We hate you! Even though all real people have at least a few admirable qualities, we have not been shown any of yours, and
plus, you're trying to come between Leonardo and Kate, and so
therefore we hate you! Boo! (Even though technically it is Leonardo
who is coming between you and Kate. But Leonardo is handsomer than
you, even though he is only 12, so we are on his side. Boo!)
Scene 2
LEONARDO: I'm glad we snuck away like this so that you could cheat on your fiance.
KATE: So am I. Even though I am engaged to him and have made a
commitment to marry him, that is no reason why you and I cannot climb
into the back seat of a car and steam up the windows
together. The fact that I am the heroine of the movie will no doubt
help the cattle-like audience forgive me of this, though they would
probably be VERY angry indeed if their fiancee's did the same thing to them.
AUDIENCE: Darn straight we would! Moo! We mean, Boo!
LEONARDO: I agree. First, I would like to draw you, though, so of
course you have to take off all your clothes.
KATE: But can a movie with fifteen minutes of continuous nudity be at all successful in say, Provo, Utah, where the audiences might not stand for that sort of thing?
LEONARDO: I would be willing to bet that for the first three weeks the film is in release, every single showing at the Wynnsong Theater in Provo will sell out.
NARRATOR: According to Wynnsong manager Matt Palmer, that is exactly what happened.
KATE: All right, then. (sound of clothes hitting the floor)
Scene 3
FIRST MATE: Captain, we're about to hit an iceberg!
CAPTAIN: Great, I could use some ice for my drink. (sound of drinking)
ICEBERG: (hits boat)
FIRST MATE: That can't be good.
CAPTAIN: Bottoms up!
AUDIENCE: Huh?
FIRST MATE: That was irony, you fools.
AUDIENCE: Moo! Where's Leonardo?
Scene 4
LEONARDO: I have been informed that this boat is sinking.
KATE: That is terrible. And I am the only passenger that has noticed that there are not enough lifeboats! Everybody else skipped math class in school.
LEONARDO: Would you like to engage in some more immoral-but-justified-because-we're-pretty behavior?
KATE: Certainly. (kisses him)
WEASELY FIANCE: I'm getting the raw end of the deal here: (to Leonardo) Listen, Leonardo, to cement my morally-dubious-yet-somehow-less-annoying-than-you personality, I am going to falsely accuse you of a crime, then handcuff you to this pipe here in a room that will soon be filling with water, due to the fact
that we are sinking, which I believe has been mentioned previously.
LEONARDO: Why don't you just shoot me?
WEASELY FIANCE: Because then you wouldn't be able to escape and save Kate from me. Also, all of the women in the audience would get up and leave. Of course, you're going to die anyway.
AUDIENCE: Don't spoil it for us! BOOOOOOOO!!
LEONARDO: He's right, though.I am doomed. It's in the script.
AUDIENCE: Awwe, look how cute he is when he's doomed!
WEASELY FIANCE: I really hate you people.
Scene 5
150-YEAR-OLD-KATE: And that's when Leonardo rescued me from my evil fiance and helped me float on a board in the water. Of course, if it hadn't been for having to rescue HIM, I could have gotten on an actual
lifeboat to begin with, and not nearly frozen my butt off. Anyway, he's
pretty much dead now, and I'm well over a hundred years old, and
who's making my supper? Someone help me go to the bathroom. Turn down that Hanson music, it's making my ears hurt. What are they singing? "MMMBerg"? How rude of them. You kids today, with your loud music. Why, in my day--hey! Don't you walk away from me, Mr. Snooty-Patootie Oceanologist! Now everyone stand back, I'm going to throw this priceless piece of jewelry into the ocean now, then I shall die so you can't be mad at me for doing so.
