okay this is what would have happened...jack would have sued the white star over his shoody treatment due to hockleys behavior, and then sued the hockley steel company for false charges of theft, and of course they would have been paid off, to keep things quiet...jack and rose would stay together, but it wouldnt have been very happy, oh at first sure, but rose looks like a high maitence kind of girl, and would have blown through the money quick, since she was only marrying hockley in the first place for his money...well jacks money would have run out thanks tohis lush mother in law, and her inccessant nagging on every subject under the sun, so he would have had to start the girls drawn wild series of stuff, well he makes money off that but, still not enough, so in the late 20s they take a ride on the Olympic to try and rekindle the fire of their love since he spends all his time drawing to keep everybody and mother fed, so rose by now has gotten to be fat, and one drunken night she stands on the stern of olympic to recreate their meetting, well jack drops her due to her being too fat, and gets a nice settlement check from the white star, and goes on to drinking that away 2 years later and dying in a bourbon street pubs gutter..
