Well
Hello, Mr. Gillis
Where have you been
Keeping yourself
Someone's
Been doing it for me
And meanwhile "Blind Windows"
Is stuck on the shelf
You said
We'd work together
New Year's crisis
What can I say
Always
Full of excuses
Promise I'll call you
Later today
You said that last time
Betty, I won't let you down
I guess I'll just have to trust you
You're Miss Desmond's German shepherd
I'm the one who's been calling
The name is Sheldrake
A couple of weeks ago
I was looking out of my office window and I saw you driving on to the lot
And I said, "that's exactly the car I've been looking for
Great for my new Crosby picture
So, I made some inquiries and I've been calling for two weeks
Doesn't she ever answer the phone
It's so perfect. You can't find that kind of quality outside of a museum
We're willing to pay a hundred dollars a week
It's outrageous
You insult her
How can you be so cruel
I forbid you to approach her
You're insane
Go away. Go away
Did you see
How they all came
Crowding around
They still love me
And soon we'll be
Breaking new ground
Brave pioneers
Those were the days
Just like before
We had such fun
We gave the world
New ways to dream
We always found
New ways to dream
Let's have a good long talk one day
The old team will be back in business
Sorry, my next shot's ready
Mr. Gillis
What's the matter, Max
I just found out the reason for all those phone calls from Paramount
It's not Madame they want
It's her car
Oh, my God
Now, you remember, don't you
I don't work before 10 or after 4:30 in the afternoon
It isn't entirely my decision, Norma, New York must be consulted
That's fine. You ask any exhibitor in the country
I'm not forgotten
Of course you're not
Goodbye, young fellow
We'll see what we can do
I'm not worried. It's so wonderful to be back
Was that really Norma Desmond
It was
She must be about a million years old
I hate to think where that puts me. I could be her father
Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. DeMille
If you could have seen
Her at seventeen
When all of her dreams were new
Beautiful and strong
Before it all went wrong
She's never known the meaning of surrender
Never known the meaning of surrender
