Are you better off than you were before the ship hit the iceberg?
The upper class passengers want to know if you are better off than you were the night just before the Titanic hit the iceberg. The disgruntled lower class refuse are demanding that the new man in charge of the rescue effort, (believe it or not) a colored food server who managed to swim through a thousand yards of freezing water and save five children and then climb into a boat to take a seat which SHOULD have been reserved for an aristocratic lady with good manners.
He is a nice man, but he just doesn't know how to be a leader and take us to safety. It is true that he has been in charge of the lifeboats, but by now he should have gotten us to land where we could be warm. He thinks we should head south to the rescue ship U.S.S. Keynes, but the the brave officers of the Titanic crew, who somehow managed to courageously survive the catastrophe in what appears to be a gold-plated lifeboat, want to head back to the iceberg field and wait for the H.M.S. Free Enterprise.
It is time to let the nice colored man just go and put the entire rescue effort into the hands of the officers of the Titanic.
