Film Transcript

Hi, I'm Jack and I'm Rose. We're standing on the deck of the Titanic and we're going to tell the story of what happened. And this is our friend Bob the anchovy. I was going to give everyone a tour but unfortunately we have already hit an iceberg and have started to sink. Let's get them to the lifeboats. Kids go first. The Titanic sank on April 14th, 1912. The iceberg made a big scrape on the tide. The boat had started sinking. It was a bumpy ride. I'm an anchovy and I swam away. But all the passengers died. Then I went home to my mum. Then I went home to have a dance. I called the anchovy ambulance. Because the Titanic fell on my house. And it was the end.
