Dumbest line in the movie

How is it a dumb line? It just shows how greedy and self-entitled some employees can be. Also, it was there for comic relief.
Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months. -

Exactly. It showed that 1st class passengers were too materialistic to actually care about a sinking ship. That's why the older man and his son (?) were dressed up and refusing to go above the ship when it was sinking.
"We've dressed up in our best and are prepared to go down like gentlemen." -perfect example. -

What does first class have anything to do with the line or the scene? The two passengers that were dressed in there best had nothing to do with line being discussed.
were dressed up and refusing to go above the ship when it was sinking.
Wtf does that even mean? -

Actually, a lot of stewards in the lower classes didn't even know the ship was sinking until it was too late. They just knew that they were ordered to lock down the lower decks. So, Jack and Rose smashing that door down just looks like typical 3rd class criminal activity to that steward.

Your first sentence is correct, but not the second. Surviving third class stewards affirmed that they did not think the ship was sinking, and though they kept back the passengers until the call came to send women and children up, they did not lock gates. -

I love this movie, but some of the dumbest lines are:
- "Something PIcasso. He won't amount to a thing! Trust me." (Eye-roll worthy attempt to make Cal look foolish and make the audience congratulate themselves for knowing better.)
- "Ah, forget it, boyo. Youre as like to have angels fly out of your arse as get next to the likes of her.
- "Remember they love money, so just pretend like you own a goldmine and you're in the club."
- "Monet!" "You know his work?" "Look at his use of color?" "I know, it's extraordinary." For two supposed art-lovers, they never had anything actually insightful to say about Monet's paintings other than "look at his use of color!"

It does show you just how far removed from reality the elite class was. You see lines such as "Grab me a brandy" as the ship is sinking as a way of showing you that they were oblivious to what was going on, or at least didn't want to be bothered by it. When you are in first class the truth is there were probably a lot of people who didn't actually have it "hit" them until they saw the frigid water rushing into their room. Ignorance is bliss, but they still died. So yeah, I could see things like that being said quite a bit on that ship.

The guy who asked for a Brady wasn't being ignorant, he knew full well what was happening and therefore dressed in his finest to go out in style. Curiously though, somebody actually went a broought him a brady, wonder if he had to pay for it as that was not covered by their fare.
