:27:01
Naturally. I brought them myself.
:27:05
- Is that so?
- What's the matter? Anything missing?
:27:10
- Who asked you to?
- I did.
:27:14
I don't know why you're so upset.
Stop that playing, Max.
:27:18
It seemed like a good idea
if we are to work together.
:27:22
I'm to fix your script. There's nothing
in the deal about staying here.
:27:26
- You'll like it here.
- I've my own apartment.
:27:30
You owe three months' rent.
:27:32
- I'll take care of that.
- It's all taken care of, all paid for.
:27:38
We'll deduct it from my salary.
:27:41
Let's not be small about such matters.
We won't keep books.
:27:45
- Unpack Mr Gillis's things.
- It is done, Madame.
:27:50
- Pack 'em up again. I'm not staying!
- Make up your mind.
:27:54
Do you want this job or don't you?
:27:59
I wanted the job and the dough
and to get out of there quickly.
:28:05
I thought if I got going
I could finish it in a couple of weeks.
:28:09
But it wasn't so simple getting
coherence into her wild hallucinations.
:28:15
It was made tougher with her
around all the time, hovering over me,
:28:20
afraid I'd do injury
to that precious brainchild of hers.
:28:29
What's that?
:28:32
- Just a scene I threw out.
- Which scene?
:28:35
The slave market.
It's better to cut directly to...
:28:38
Cut away from me?
:28:40
It's too much of you.
They don't want you in every scene.
:28:44
Then why do they still write me fan
letters and beg for my photographs?
:28:49
Because they want to see me -
me, Norma Desmond.
:28:53
Put it back.
:28:55
OK.
