Stars are ageless...
1:43:21
aren't they?
1:43:30
Well, this is where you came in.
1:43:33
Back at that pool again--
1:43:36
the one I always wanted.
1:43:38
It's dawn now, and they must have
photographed me a thousand times.
1:43:43
Then they got some pruning hooks
from the garden and fished me out...
1:43:47
ever so gently.
1:43:49
Funny how gentle people get with you
once you're dead.
1:43:54
They beached me
like a harpooned baby whale...
1:43:58
and started
to check the damage...
1:44:00
just for the record.
1:44:04
By this time
the whole joint was jumping--
1:44:07
cops, reporters,
neighbors, passersby.
1:44:10
As much hoop-de-doo
as we get in Los Angeles...
1:44:12
when they open a supermarket.
1:44:14
Even the newsreel guys
came roaring in.
1:44:17
Here was an item everybody
could have some fun with.
1:44:21
The heartless so-and-sos.
1:44:25
What would they do to Norma?
1:44:27
Even if she got away with it
in court--
1:44:29
crime of passion,
temporary insanity--
1:44:33
those headlines would kill her.
1:44:35
"Forgotten Star a Slayer:"
1:44:39
"Aging Actress:"
1:44:41
"Yesterday's Glamour Queen:"
1:44:54
Coroner's office?
1:44:56
I want to speak to the coroner.
1:44:59
Who's on this phone?
