1:00:31
- Madame's wanted on the telephone.
- Don't interrupt me.
1:00:34
- Paramount's calling.
- Who?
1:00:37
Paramount Studios.
1:00:39
Now do you believe me?
I told you DeMille would jump at it.
1:00:43
It is not Mr DeMille in person,
it's someone named Gordon Cole.
1:00:47
- He says it's very important.
- Certainly it is.
1:00:50
Important enough for Mr DeMille
to call me personally.
1:00:52
The idea of having some assistant
call me! Say I'm busy and hang up.
1:00:57
Very good, Madame.
1:01:05
How do you like that?
We've made 12 pictures together.
1:01:08
His greatest successes!
1:01:10
- Maybe he's busy shooting.
- I know that trick!
1:01:14
He's trying to belittle me,
to get my price down.
1:01:17
I've waited 20 years for this.
DeMille can wait till I'm good and ready.
1:01:26
About three days later,
she was good and ready.
1:01:30
Incredibly, there'd been some more
1:01:32
of those urgent calls
from Paramount.
1:01:35
So she put on about half a pound
of make-up, fixed it up with a veil,
1:01:40
and set forth
to see DeMille in person.
1:01:45
Madame will pardon me, the shadow
over the left eye is not quite balanced.
1:01:51
Thank you, Max.
