The Sandini brothers board the Titanic at Southampton, and they immediately find a beautiful stewardess, who tells them where to go. Paolo keeps staring at her, and Mario has to pull him along. Paolo serves the Captain's table that night, and Smith asks him his name and how many Italian waiters there are in first class. Paolo answers "Just me", which seems to surprise Smith; throughout the miniseries, it is mentioned that the other Italian waiters are in the restaurant, making Paolo the only foreign waiter in first class. Paolo moves around the table to serve Georgiana Grex and Harry Widener, and flirtatiously winks to Georgiana.
