In the movie, the seaman steering Molly Brown's boat says "There'll be one less in this boat if you don't shut that 'ole in your face." As in many items with the movie, the line is authentic. Except 1) it was not said to Molly Brown, 2) it was not said by that seaman, and 3) it was not said in that lifeboat. Check A Night to Remember for the actual circumstances. (In fact, Molly Brown not only wasn't subdued by the loud-mouthed seaman, she faced him down later.)
At the party in steerage, a foreign-speaking man is speaking with Rose and she says "I'm sorry, I can't understand you." The man is Swedish, probably a friend of Sven's, and he's saying to her "Talar fröken svenska?" In English that translates to "Does the miss/lady speak Swedish?" which she obviously doesn't.
In the movie, Molly Brown is sitting in a lifeboat next to Ruth and saying something like "Plenty of room, honey" to Rose. In fact - according to Molly Brown's account of the events - Molly was walking around on deck, urging people to get into lifeboats; a lifeboat was already starting to be lowered when two men grabbed her and threw her into the boat.
