TOM BELLFORT:
For the "Titanic" achievement Chris and I are indebted to the sound and mixing crew at Skywalker Sound, and to the foley editors and artists at Paramount. I thank Ted Gagliano at Fox, and my wonderful wife, Victoria. Jim, although the seas were a little rough at times, I really thank you for this voyage and for building a ship that will last forever. Thank you. Chris...

CHRISTOPHER BOYES:
I'm more overwhelmed now than I was the first time I met Jim Cameron. I want to thank you for demanding nothing less than my excellence. I'd also like to thank Jon Landau, Gloria Borders, for giving me the time and support. Ethan Van der Ryn, my life-long friend. And Gary Rydstrom, my mentor and very good friend. Thank you very much. My wife Molly.
