The Strauses Refuse to Part, Explained：be up to
On the surface, the officers are loading the boats. Underneath, the scene's great refusal is taking place: an old woman will not leave her husband, and says, "Where you go, I go." He will not take a place before other men: "No men are allowed in these boats until all the women have gone!"
あらすじ
On deck, the last boats are being filled under the rule that women and children go first. An old woman refuses to board without her husband, and he refuses to go ahead of other men, so the two stay together. Officers keep families moving, and turn men away from the boats.

What's really going on
The scene is built around one of the film's quietest acts of courage. Mrs Straus will not be separated from her husband, and her reason is not drama but habit: "I've always stayed with my husband, Colonel. So why should I leave him now?" Her husband answers in the same register, refusing any special treatment — "No. I will not go before the other men." The people and officers around them keep the rule moving, but the rule cannot make the couple obey. Even the smaller exchange, a young man told he may go at thirteen and asked to look after his mother, carries the same theme: what is being handed down at the boats is not just survival but a set of duties. The scene never raises its voice, and that is what makes it unbearable.
Theme
MarriageAn old couple refuses to be separated when every rule says the wife should go first, choosing each other over a chance at survival.
CourageThe husband will not take a place ahead of other men, and the wife will not leave him, so both stay and let the boats go without them.

I've always stayed with my husband, Colonel. So why should I leave him now?Her plain reason for staying: a lifetime of shared habits makes leaving him unthinkable, even with a place in a lifeboat waiting.
We have been living together for many years, Isodor.She measures the marriage by years, not by this one night: a long life together is why she will not step into the boat without him.
No. I will not go before the other men.The husband refuses any special treatment: he will not be saved before the younger men still waiting on deck.
No men are allowed in these boats until all the women have gone!The officer's hard rule as the boats fill: no man boards until every woman on deck has been given a place.
このシーンについての質問
Why does Mrs Straus refuse to get into a lifeboat?
She has always stayed with her husband, and sees no reason to leave him now. She says they have lived together for many years, and that where he goes, she goes.
Why won't Mr Straus take a place in the boat?
He refuses to be saved before the other men. Colonel Gracie suggests an old gentleman would be allowed, but Straus answers that he will not go before the other men.
What does "be up to" mean in this scene?
It means what someone is secretly doing or planning. A steward shouts 'what do you think you're up to?' at a man, suspecting him of trying something he should not.
Why are men kept out of the lifeboats?
The rule is women and children first: no men are allowed in the boats until every woman has gone. The officers enforce it even when it splits families and turns husbands back.
Who is allowed into the boats besides women?
Children, and boys young enough to count as children — one thirteen-year-old is told 'Of course he can go. He's only 13.' He is then asked to look after his mother.
