About This Quote
In the film Titanic, Rose says to Jack, “I think that’s the thing with keeping up appearances, Rose; people will do anything to get one and anything to keep one.” In this case, she is referring to a false impression you give in order to keep a relationship going. A good example of this from real life is when someone gives you their phone number in order to get a date. Or when a person gives out his or her email address in hopes of getting invited to a party so they can get the free drinks.
