1:43:02
What is the scene? Where am I?
1:43:09
This is the palace staircase.
1:43:14
Oh, yes, yes.
1:43:17
Down below
they're waiting for the princess.
1:43:23
I'm ready.
1:43:25
All right. Cameras. Action!
1:43:32
So they were turning after all,
those cameras.
1:43:37
Life, which can be strangely merciful,
had taken pity on Norma Desmond.
1:43:44
The dream she had clung to
so desperately had enfolded her.
1:44:16
I can't go on with this scene,
I'm too happy.
1:44:21
Mr DeMille, do you mind
if I say a few words? Thank you.
1:44:25
I want to say how happy I am to be
in the studio making a picture again.
1:44:30
You don't know how I've missed you.
I'll never desert you again.
1:44:36
Because after "Salome" we'll make
another picture and another.
1:44:41
You see, this is my life.
It always will be. There's nothing else.
1:44:47
Just us and the cameras
1:44:51
and those wonderful people
out there in the dark.
1:44:56
All right, Mr DeMille,
I'm ready for my close-up.
