It's fun writing with you.
1:20:02
Well, thanks.
1:20:18
Who's Norma?
1:20:21
Who's who?
1:20:22
I'm sorry. I don't usually
read private cigarette cases.
1:20:26
Oh, that.
1:20:28
It's from a friend of mine.
1:20:30
A middle-aged lady.
1:20:32
Very foolish and very generous.
1:20:34
I'll say.
This is solid gold.
1:20:37
I gave her some advice
on an idiotic script.
1:20:39
Oh, the old familiar story.
1:20:41
You help a timid little soul
cross a crowded street.
1:20:44
She turns out to be
a multimillionaire...
1:20:46
and leaves you all her money.
1:20:48
That's the trouble with you
readers-- you know all the plots.
1:20:52
Suppose you proofread page ten
while the water boils.
1:20:55
- Okay?
- Okay.
1:21:21
Sometimes,
when we got stuck...
1:21:24
we'd make a little tour
of the drowsing lot.
1:21:27
Not talking much...
1:21:29
just wandering down alleys
between the soundstages...
1:21:33
or through the sets they were getting
ready for the next day's shooting.
1:21:37
As a matter of fact...
1:21:39
it was on one of those walks when
she first told me about her nose.
1:21:43
Look at this street.
1:21:45
All cardboard, all hollow,
all phony, all done with mirrors.
1:21:50
You know, I like it better
than any street in the world.
1:21:54
Maybe because I used to play here
when I was a kid.
1:21:58
What were you,
a child actress?
