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.
1:02:07
Hold that noise!
1:02:10
- Hey!
- To see Mr DeMille, open the gate.
1:02:14
He's shooting. Got an appointment?
1:02:16
No appointment necessary.
1:02:18
- I'm bringing Norma Desmond.
- Norma who?
1:02:22
- Norma Desmond.
- Jonesy, hey, Jonesy.
1:02:26
Yeah? Why, if it isn't Miss Desmond!
1:02:31
- How've you been, Miss Desmond?
- Open the gate.
1:02:34
- Sure, Miss Desmond. Come on.
- They can't enter without a pass.
1:02:39
Miss Desmond can. Come on.
1:02:51
- Where's Mr DeMille shooting?
- Stage 18.
1:02:53
Thank you, Jonesy.
And teach your friend some manners.
1:02:57
Without me he'd have no job,
because there'd be no Paramount.
