- Hello.
- Is this Crest View 51733?
:54:05
I'm sorry to bother you again,
but I must speak to Mr Gillis.
:54:09
- He's not here.
- Where can I reach him?
:54:13
- Maybe somebody else could tell me.
- Nobody can give you any information.
:54:18
And you will please not call again.
:54:22
Max!
:54:26
Who was it, Max? What is it?
:54:30
Nothing, Madame. Somebody
enquiring about a stray dog.
:54:36
Our number must be similar
to the number of the pound.
:54:40
Wait. Get the car out
and take the script to Paramount.
:54:44
- Deliver it to Mr DeMille in person.
- Very good.
:54:53
- You're sending it to DeMille?
- Yes. This is the day.
:54:57
My astrologer read
DeMille's horoscope and mine.
:55:00
- She read the script?
- DeMille's Leo, I'm Scorpio.
:55:03
Mars has been transiting
Jupiter for weeks.
:55:05
Today is the day
of the greatest conjunction.
:55:09
Turn around, darling. Let me dry you.
:55:14
I hope you realise scripts don't sell
on astrologers' charts.
:55:18
It's not the script, I'm selling me.
:55:20
DeMille always said
I was his greatest star.
:55:23
When did he say it, Norma?
:55:26
All right, it was quite a few years ago.
But I've never looked better in my life.
:55:31
You know why? Because
I've never been as happy in my life.
:55:39
A few evenings later, we were visiting
one of the waxworks for bridge.
:55:44
She'd taught me bridge by then, just
as she'd taught me fancy tango steps,
:55:50
and what wine to drink with what fish.
:55:55
That idiot! He forgot
to fill my cigarette case.
:55:58
- Have one of mine.
- They're dreadful and make me cough.
