white or deep pink.
:15:07
Maybe red, bright, flaming red.
Let's make it gay.
:15:20
How much? Don't give me
a fancy price just because I'm rich.
:15:26
Lady, you've got the wrong man.
I had some trouble with a flat tyre.
:15:31
I pulled in till I could get a spare.
I thought the house was empty.
:15:36
- It is not. Get out.
- I'm sorry.
:15:40
I'm sorry you lost your friend.
I don't think red is the right colour.
:15:46
- Haven't I seen you before?
- Get out, or shall I call my servant?
:15:51
You're Norma Desmond.
You were big in silent pictures.
:15:57
I am big. It's the pictures
that got small.
:16:02
I knew there was
something wrong with them.
:16:05
They're dead, they're finished.
:16:08
There was a time
when they had the eyes of the world.
:16:12
But that wasn't good enough.
They had to have the ears, too.
:16:16
So they opened their big mouths
and out came talk, talk, talk!
:16:21
That's where the popcorn business
comes in. Buy it to plug your ears.
:16:25
Look at them in the front offices,
the masterminds!
:16:29
They smashed the idols!
:16:31
The Fairbankses,
the Gilberts, the Valentinos!
:16:34
Who've we got now? Some nobody.
:16:37
Don't blame me. I'm just a writer.
:16:40
You are? Writing words,
words, more words.
:16:44
You've made a rope of words
and strangled this business.
:16:47
But there's a microphone
to catch the last gurgles,
:16:50
and Technicolor to photograph
the swollen tongue.
:16:52
- Sh! You'll wake up the monkey.
- Get out! Max.
:16:57
Next time
I'll bring my autograph album.
