:59:00
I can still see myself in the line:
Marie Prevost, Mabel Normand.
:59:05
Mabel was always
stepping on my feet.
:59:07
What's the matter?
Why are you so glum?
:59:11
Nothing's the matter. I'm having
a great time. Show me some more.
:59:15
All right. Give me this. I need it for
a moustache. Now, close your eyes.
:59:27
Something was the matter all right.
:59:30
I was thinking about that girl
of Artie's, that Miss Schaefer.
:59:35
She was like all writers
when we first hit Hollywood,
:59:39
itching with ambition,
planning to get your names up there:
:59:43
"Screenplay by", "Original story by".
:59:49
Audiences don't know somebody
sits down and writes a picture.
:59:53
They think the actors
make it up as they go.
:59:56
Open your eyes.
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.
