1
00:01:47,434 --> 00:01:50,144
Well, home from the
movies at last.

2
00:01:50,378 --> 00:01:52,108
Looks like it, Aunt Mattie.
- Heh.

3
00:01:52,645 --> 00:01:55,062
Hi, Dad!
- Hello, Son!

4
00:01:55,438 --> 00:01:57,922
Well, daughter, how was the
moving picture tonight?

5
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,646
Hmm.
Lovely!

6
00:02:00,295 --> 00:02:02,729
Mush, that's what it was.
Just a lot of mush.

7
00:02:02,792 --> 00:02:04,764
There wasn't anybody killed
in the whole thing.

8
00:02:04,834 --> 00:02:07,681
No, well then, I'll stick to these,
these don't talk.

9
00:02:07,848 --> 00:02:10,680
Well, that big cluck, Norman Maine
was in the picture tonight,

10
00:02:10,900 --> 00:02:13,171
he never does anything but
kiss a lot of girls.

11
00:02:13,210 --> 00:02:15,393
Norman Maine, is one of
the best actors in pictures.

12
00:02:15,447 --> 00:02:17,764
You and your movies.
That's all that you think about.

13
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,728
You shouldn't be allowed
to go to 'em at all,

14
00:02:19,752 --> 00:02:21,005
if you're askin' me.

15
00:02:21,395 --> 00:02:23,844
Too bad I was
so busy in the kitchen.

16
00:02:24,305 --> 00:02:26,790
I didn't hear anybody
asking you.

17
00:02:27,044 --> 00:02:28,880
Hello, Granny!
- Hello, Darling

18
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,692
But of course,
no one ever listens to me!

19
00:02:30,754 --> 00:02:32,772
They do if they're
within ten miles of ya.

20
00:02:32,867 --> 00:02:34,399
Gathered around picture shows,

21
00:02:34,666 --> 00:02:36,738
house all cluttered-up with
movie magazines.

22
00:02:37,003 --> 00:02:40,053
And the other day I caught her talking
to a horse with a Swedish accent!

23
00:02:40,092 --> 00:02:41,340
Now, Sis,

24
00:02:42,119 --> 00:02:44,200
you're only young once,
you know?

25
00:02:46,134 --> 00:02:47,354
Ah!

26
00:02:47,993 --> 00:02:49,284
Hollywood!

27
00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:51,596
You'd better be
getting yourself a good husband

28
00:02:51,658 --> 00:02:53,273
and stop mooning about Hollywood.

29
00:02:53,492 --> 00:02:54,992
Do you know what she
wants to do?

30
00:02:55,076 --> 00:02:56,992
She wants to go to Hollywood!

31
00:02:57,910 --> 00:02:59,985
I've known it all along.

32
00:03:00,253 --> 00:03:02,280
I've seen her
making faces in the mirror

33
00:03:02,309 --> 00:03:03,328
and talking to herself.

34
00:03:03,779 --> 00:03:05,715
That's what comes
of your movies!

35
00:03:06,552 --> 00:03:09,809
Why, what would you do
if you did go to Hollywood?

36
00:03:09,995 --> 00:03:11,280
I'd be an actress.

37
00:03:12,390 --> 00:03:14,561
I would, I tell ya,
I've always known I could.

38
00:03:14,911 --> 00:03:17,708
Guys, wouldn't it be wonderful
to have a movie star in the family?

39
00:03:17,817 --> 00:03:20,164
Oh, Miss Blodgett,
may I have your autograph?

40
00:03:20,226 --> 00:03:21,571
You may not know it Aleck,

41
00:03:21,586 --> 00:03:23,475
but you're practically
on your way to bed.

42
00:03:23,503 --> 00:03:25,462
Oh, Miss Blodgett,
you're my favorite actress,

43
00:03:25,550 --> 00:03:27,318
won't you tell me
the secret of your success?

44
00:03:27,343 --> 00:03:28,564
Oh, let me alone!

45
00:03:29,176 --> 00:03:30,938
Why Esther,
what's come over you?

46
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,641
I'll tell you
what's come over her.

47
00:03:32,868 --> 00:03:34,461
She's just a silly little girl

48
00:03:34,486 --> 00:03:36,200
whose head has been turned
by the movies.

49
00:03:36,310 --> 00:03:37,942
And the sooner she
forgets the whole thing,

50
00:03:37,958 --> 00:03:39,076
the better-off
she'll be.

51
00:03:39,163 --> 00:03:40,524
Oh, why will I be
better off?

52
00:03:40,649 --> 00:03:41,657
What's wrong with wanting

53
00:03:41,682 --> 00:03:43,219
to get out and make something
of myself?

54
00:03:43,284 --> 00:03:45,265
What do you do
that's so much better?

55
00:03:45,308 --> 00:03:47,500
Just because you're satisfied
to sit here all your life,

56
00:03:47,523 --> 00:03:49,049
you think you
can laugh at me!

57
00:03:49,087 --> 00:03:50,600
Well, some day
you won't laugh at me!

58
00:03:50,616 --> 00:03:52,310
I'm going out
and have a real life!

59
00:03:52,333 --> 00:03:54,076
I'm gonna be somebody!

60
00:03:58,347 --> 00:03:59,790
Now if it was spring,

61
00:03:59,829 --> 00:04:03,589
I'd say give her a
good dose of sulfur and molasses.

62
00:04:07,764 --> 00:04:09,881
Hm, I thought I'd find you up.

63
00:04:10,896 --> 00:04:11,994
Aw, stop that!

64
00:04:12,337 --> 00:04:14,496
Now stop crying!
That isn't going to do you a bit good.

65
00:04:14,521 --> 00:04:17,615
Oh, I'm crying because Aunt Mattie
and Aleck make me so mad.

66
00:04:17,958 --> 00:04:21,969
Well, it's your aunt Mattie...
Fiddlesticks. They're not important.

67
00:04:22,372 --> 00:04:24,371
You're the only one
that counts.

68
00:04:24,396 --> 00:04:28,625
Esther, everyone in this world who
has ever dreamed about better things

69
00:04:28,719 --> 00:04:30,929
has been laughed at.
Don't you know that?

70
00:04:31,096 --> 00:04:32,761
Oh, I suppose I do, but–

71
00:04:32,879 --> 00:04:35,489
But there's a difference
between dreaming and doing.

72
00:04:35,628 --> 00:04:37,689
The dreamers just
sit around and moon

73
00:04:37,772 --> 00:04:40,136
about how
wonderful it would be

74
00:04:40,254 --> 00:04:42,150
if only things were different.

75
00:04:43,277 --> 00:04:45,552
And the years roll on
and they grow old

76
00:04:46,122 --> 00:04:48,221
and by-and-by
they forget everything,

77
00:04:48,582 --> 00:04:50,213
even about their dreams.

78
00:04:50,413 --> 00:04:53,207
I don't want to be like that,
I want to be somebody.

79
00:04:53,307 --> 00:04:54,400
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

80
00:04:54,486 --> 00:04:55,751
You want to be somebody,

81
00:04:56,001 --> 00:04:57,272
but you want it to be easy.

82
00:04:57,364 --> 00:04:59,893
Oh, you modern girls
give me a pain!

83
00:05:00,683 --> 00:05:02,157
When I wanted something better,

84
00:05:02,246 --> 00:05:05,210
I came across those plains
in a prairie schooner

85
00:05:05,242 --> 00:05:06,708
with your grandfather.

86
00:05:07,115 --> 00:05:08,862
Oh, everyone laughed at us,

87
00:05:08,909 --> 00:05:10,646
as they did at
all the other pioneers.

88
00:05:10,794 --> 00:05:12,308
They said this country would
never be anything

89
00:05:12,331 --> 00:05:13,624
but a wilderness.

90
00:05:13,846 --> 00:05:15,162
We didn't believe that.

91
00:05:15,506 --> 00:05:17,704
We were going
to make a new country.

92
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:19,564
Besides,

93
00:05:19,851 --> 00:05:22,967
we wanted to
see our dreams come true.

94
00:05:23,115 --> 00:05:25,180
Oh Granny, it must
have been wonderful.

95
00:05:25,364 --> 00:05:26,741
It was wonderful.

96
00:05:27,064 --> 00:05:29,255
But don't you think for
one single minute

97
00:05:29,318 --> 00:05:31,281
that it was easy, Esther Blodgett.

98
00:05:31,759 --> 00:05:34,462
We burned in summer
and we froze in winter.

99
00:05:34,848 --> 00:05:37,314
But we kept right on going
and we didn't complain.

100
00:05:37,513 --> 00:05:40,066
Because we were doing what
we wanted to do!

101
00:05:40,740 --> 00:05:42,261
Can you understand that?

102
00:05:44,365 --> 00:05:45,761
Yes, I can.

103
00:05:47,613 --> 00:05:48,999
Could you do it?

104
00:05:50,014 --> 00:05:52,486
Could you do it
even if it broke your heart?

105
00:05:53,018 --> 00:05:54,238
Because remember Esther,

106
00:05:54,284 --> 00:05:56,709
for every dream of yours
you make come true,

107
00:05:56,734 --> 00:05:59,057
you'll pay the price
in heartbreak.

108
00:06:01,695 --> 00:06:04,101
Mm, I know
what I'm talking about.

109
00:06:05,211 --> 00:06:06,617
You may not believe it,

110
00:06:06,893 --> 00:06:08,730
but I was a young girl once.

111
00:06:09,550 --> 00:06:10,990
A very pretty young girl,

112
00:06:11,138 --> 00:06:13,326
a lot prettier than you are.

113
00:06:14,289 --> 00:06:16,185
I was in love
with your grandfather,

114
00:06:16,868 --> 00:06:19,462
and when some Injun devil
put a bullet through him,

115
00:06:19,944 --> 00:06:22,965
I felt as if it had come right straight
through my heart too.

116
00:06:23,412 --> 00:06:25,151
And I remembered all
he taught me,

117
00:06:25,776 --> 00:06:27,336
and I went right on.

118
00:06:27,688 --> 00:06:29,895
I buried him out there
on that wilderness

119
00:06:29,949 --> 00:06:31,375
with my own hands.

120
00:06:32,264 --> 00:06:34,408
And I went
right on that same day...

121
00:06:34,908 --> 00:06:37,088
and I kept right on going...

122
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,814
even when
your mother was born.

123
00:06:40,890 --> 00:06:43,872
Oh Granny,
I would make it worthwhile.

124
00:06:43,935 --> 00:06:47,270
Oh!

125
00:06:48,891 --> 00:06:49,945
You know, Esther,

126
00:06:50,148 --> 00:06:52,417
there'll always be
a wilderness to conquer.

127
00:06:52,883 --> 00:06:55,538
Maybe Hollywood's
your wilderness now.

128
00:06:55,985 --> 00:06:57,403
From all I hear, it...

129
00:06:57,763 --> 00:06:59,226
it sounds like it.

130
00:06:59,970 --> 00:07:02,946
But if you've got one drop of
my blood in your veins,

131
00:07:03,472 --> 00:07:07,036
you won't let Mattie or any of her kind
break your heart.

132
00:07:07,458 --> 00:07:10,397
You'll go right out there
and break it yourself.

133
00:07:10,877 --> 00:07:12,467
That's your right.

134
00:07:15,487 --> 00:07:18,407
Here. Oh, here, here,
stop that nonsense.

135
00:07:19,256 --> 00:07:20,308
Here.

136
00:07:20,738 --> 00:07:22,161
Take this and go
to your Hollywood.

137
00:07:22,239 --> 00:07:23,618
Oh, I can't take your money.

138
00:07:23,657 --> 00:07:25,600
- Well, why not?
- It's your savings!

139
00:07:25,689 --> 00:07:27,733
Well, I was only
saving-up for my funeral.

140
00:07:28,003 --> 00:07:29,964
Now I don't think
I'm ever going to die.

141
00:07:30,199 --> 00:07:32,681
Oh, Granny,
how can I ever thank you?

142
00:07:32,835 --> 00:07:34,617
By giving me
your word of honor

143
00:07:34,656 --> 00:07:37,521
that you'll never tell a living soul
where you got that money.

144
00:07:37,638 --> 00:07:40,970
- I promise.
- Remember, if you do,

145
00:07:41,645 --> 00:07:43,545
I'll have you arrested
for robbing me.

146
00:07:50,638 --> 00:07:53,135
Whoa!
Here we are.

147
00:07:53,793 --> 00:07:55,051
You want me
to help you, Granny?

148
00:07:55,090 --> 00:07:56,493
Oh, I can make it, dear.

149
00:07:56,963 --> 00:07:57,981
Oh!

150
00:07:58,046 --> 00:08:01,162
Uh, oh man, it's cold, whooh!

151
00:08:01,187 --> 00:08:03,890
I kissed Dad goodbye, just a little kiss.
He didn't even wake up.

152
00:08:03,944 --> 00:08:05,943
I bet you didn't try that
on your Aunt Mattie.

153
00:08:06,005 --> 00:08:07,026
Oh, Aunt Mattie...

154
00:08:07,166 --> 00:08:08,371
...think of her face
when you tell her.

155
00:08:08,402 --> 00:08:10,110
I am thinking about it.

156
00:08:10,305 --> 00:08:12,950
I've waited for that chance
for thirty years.

157
00:08:13,355 --> 00:08:14,679
There she is, girls.

158
00:08:14,716 --> 00:08:17,361
Oh, thank you Kirby.
Girls, huh?

159
00:08:21,469 --> 00:08:23,656
Well, come on, come on!

160
00:08:24,010 --> 00:08:26,012
There it is,
your prairie schooner.

161
00:08:38,067 --> 00:08:39,421
All aboard!

162
00:08:39,663 --> 00:08:42,635
Oh, Granny!

163
00:08:42,900 --> 00:08:45,495
Go on, go on!
Go on! Go on!

164
00:08:47,313 --> 00:08:49,688
- Goodbye Granny!
- Goodbye!

165
00:08:49,948 --> 00:08:52,572
I'll be waiting for you
in those moving pictures.

166
00:08:52,925 --> 00:08:54,330
And don't tell Mattie!

167
00:08:54,478 --> 00:08:56,893
You know my eyes
are not as good as they used to be,

168
00:08:57,223 --> 00:08:58,738
but my ears are all right.

169
00:08:58,968 --> 00:09:01,822
So you remember,
talk up good and loud.

170
00:09:03,970 --> 00:09:06,517
All aboard!

171
00:09:06,579 --> 00:09:09,859
- Goodbye!
- Bye! I love you.

172
00:09:11,701 --> 00:09:12,984
Goodbye Granny!

173
00:09:14,234 --> 00:09:15,585
Goodbye.

174
00:09:20,244 --> 00:09:21,872
Do you want to go home now?

175
00:09:22,872 --> 00:09:24,359
I don't want to,

176
00:09:25,054 --> 00:09:26,558
but I will.

177
00:11:20,919 --> 00:11:22,363
Ahem.

178
00:11:28,295 --> 00:11:29,792
Good afternoon.

179
00:11:30,852 --> 00:11:32,629
Day, week or month?

180
00:11:32,812 --> 00:11:34,861
Well, it's a little hard to say,
you see,

181
00:11:34,994 --> 00:11:36,252
I'm going into the movies.

182
00:11:36,370 --> 00:11:37,780
Well you better
take it for a week,

183
00:11:37,826 --> 00:11:39,859
it'll break your
jump to Beverly Hills.

184
00:11:40,242 --> 00:11:42,287
Are all the studios
really near here?

185
00:11:43,135 --> 00:11:45,427
All except Gaumont British.

186
00:11:45,723 --> 00:11:47,349
I suppose
the best way to get a job

187
00:11:47,374 --> 00:11:48,702
is to go straight
to the studios.

188
00:11:48,727 --> 00:11:49,927
Isn't it?
- Hm-hm.

189
00:11:50,089 --> 00:11:51,300
I haven't any illusions
you know,

190
00:11:51,304 --> 00:11:52,704
I am perfectly willing
to begin with...

191
00:11:52,821 --> 00:11:53,987
ooh, a little bit of a part,

192
00:11:54,072 --> 00:11:55,390
or even as an extra.

193
00:11:55,469 --> 00:11:56,763
Six dollars, please,

194
00:11:56,924 --> 00:11:58,165
in advance.

195
00:11:58,547 --> 00:11:59,659
Oh.

196
00:12:47,188 --> 00:12:48,586
I beg your pardon,

197
00:12:49,418 --> 00:12:51,219
I'd like to register
for extra work.

198
00:12:52,219 --> 00:12:53,911
How long have
you been in Hollywood?

199
00:12:54,141 --> 00:12:55,867
Well, it's about a month now.

200
00:12:56,241 --> 00:12:59,403
We haven't put anyone on our books
for over two years.

201
00:13:01,286 --> 00:13:02,846
Come here,

202
00:13:05,444 --> 00:13:07,784
I'd like to
show you something.

203
00:13:11,490 --> 00:13:15,492
- Central Casting. - Try later.
- No. Can't be, try later. - Try later.

204
00:13:15,810 --> 00:13:19,608
- Try later, thank you. - Try later.
- Not now, try later. - Central Casting.

205
00:13:19,633 --> 00:13:21,219
Every time you see
one of those little lights flash,

206
00:13:21,250 --> 00:13:22,888
it's somebody asking for a job.

207
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,060
Every time you
hear them say: "Try later",

208
00:13:25,091 --> 00:13:27,221
it means
there isn't any job.

209
00:13:28,998 --> 00:13:31,722
Can't keep the girls at
the switchboard long, they'd go crazy.

210
00:13:33,405 --> 00:13:36,187
Every one of those little lights
thought it was going to be a star.

211
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:38,812
Still wanna go into movies?

212
00:13:43,666 --> 00:13:45,207
You know what
your chances are?

213
00:13:46,150 --> 00:13:48,042
One in a hundred thousand.

214
00:13:55,471 --> 00:13:56,642
But, maybe...

215
00:13:57,518 --> 00:13:59,044
...I'm that one.

216
00:14:11,155 --> 00:14:13,132
Any phone calls for me,
Mr. Randall?

217
00:14:13,616 --> 00:14:14,648
Oh no.

218
00:14:15,804 --> 00:14:19,732
Jesse Lasky and Sammy Goldwyn
must be writting letters instead.

219
00:14:21,697 --> 00:14:24,352
How was the luck today?
- Mm, there wasn't any.

220
00:14:24,852 --> 00:14:26,908
Maybe you don't go at
it in the right way

221
00:14:27,325 --> 00:14:28,684
Now take
Danny McGuire here,

222
00:14:28,715 --> 00:14:30,525
he knows the ropes,
don't you Danny?

223
00:14:30,611 --> 00:14:33,174
Sure, I've had 'em
around my neck for years.

224
00:14:36,968 --> 00:14:38,185
Hmm...
What?

225
00:14:38,365 --> 00:14:40,144
Oh--, uh Miss Blodgett,

226
00:14:40,261 --> 00:14:42,129
Danny McGuire.
Our new tenant.

227
00:14:42,298 --> 00:14:43,344
How do you do?

228
00:14:43,379 --> 00:14:44,975
Mr. McGuire is a...

229
00:14:45,125 --> 00:14:46,444
...big director.

230
00:14:49,399 --> 00:14:50,516
Oh.

231
00:14:50,913 --> 00:14:52,521
Are you really?

232
00:14:53,879 --> 00:14:55,220
Oh, could you possibly

233
00:14:55,245 --> 00:14:56,952
use me in a picture,
Mr. McGuire?

234
00:14:57,203 --> 00:14:59,287
Of course I haven't had
much experience, but

235
00:14:59,451 --> 00:15:01,804
I don't think that
really matters if you're willing.

236
00:15:02,038 --> 00:15:03,662
- And I'm—
- Now listen, lady,

237
00:15:03,850 --> 00:15:06,181
In the first place
I'm not a director,

238
00:15:06,228 --> 00:15:07,755
I'm an assistant director

239
00:15:07,771 --> 00:15:09,166
and in the second place,

240
00:15:09,216 --> 00:15:11,200
if I had any jobs to give away,

241
00:15:11,231 --> 00:15:12,909
I'd confer one on myself.

242
00:15:13,003 --> 00:15:14,101
And in the third place,

243
00:15:14,124 --> 00:15:17,241
you should have stayed
back home in the first place!

244
00:15:21,804 --> 00:15:23,561
Aw, now look what you've done.

245
00:15:23,779 --> 00:15:25,270
Hey, wait a minute!

246
00:15:25,731 --> 00:15:27,563
Hey, don't be that way!

247
00:15:29,873 --> 00:15:31,189
Don't do that.

248
00:15:32,775 --> 00:15:34,804
Gosh, I didn't mean
to get tough, but...

249
00:15:35,638 --> 00:15:37,788
a guy thinks
he's being kidded when

250
00:15:38,503 --> 00:15:40,652
somebody asking for a job and,

251
00:15:41,419 --> 00:15:43,590
he hasn't got one
for himself.

252
00:15:46,472 --> 00:15:50,069
After all, I'm not a big enough shot
to hurt your feelings.

253
00:15:50,186 --> 00:15:51,753
I--I--I'm sorry.

254
00:15:51,854 --> 00:15:54,363
It wasn't just that,
oh, it was a lot of things.

255
00:15:54,504 --> 00:15:57,609
I've been looking for a job everyday
and never getting any nearer to it.

256
00:15:58,028 --> 00:16:00,066
I guess I was beginning
to get a little scared.

257
00:16:00,755 --> 00:16:03,915
I know.
Lady, do I know.

258
00:16:04,536 --> 00:16:06,004
Well, there's only
one thing to do

259
00:16:06,029 --> 00:16:07,654
with that feeling when
you're tired

260
00:16:07,679 --> 00:16:09,588
and sunk and down to
your last nickle.

261
00:16:09,641 --> 00:16:11,169
Come on and
I'll buy you a drink.

262
00:16:11,450 --> 00:16:13,427
Well it's not as bad
as down to the last nickle

263
00:16:13,599 --> 00:16:15,229
I've still got eleven dollars left.

264
00:16:15,362 --> 00:16:16,847
Eleven dollars!

265
00:16:17,137 --> 00:16:20,011
You're gonna buy me a drink!
Come on!

266
00:16:26,419 --> 00:16:27,522
That's right George,

267
00:16:27,576 --> 00:16:29,206
there's nothing like
a little rum to

268
00:16:29,239 --> 00:16:31,358
take away
that milk flavor.

269
00:16:39,776 --> 00:16:41,613
Oh, I beg your pardon.

270
00:16:41,779 --> 00:16:44,001
Certainly.

271
00:16:51,216 --> 00:16:53,140
...and when I sign my contract,
the first thing I'm gonna do

272
00:16:53,164 --> 00:16:54,690
is see that you direct
every picture that I'm in.

273
00:16:54,749 --> 00:16:56,179
That's my pal!

274
00:16:57,878 --> 00:16:59,982
Of course I'm going
to be perfectly nice about it, but,

275
00:17:00,013 --> 00:17:01,669
I'll just insist.

276
00:17:04,245 --> 00:17:05,991
Now that's the way to talk.

277
00:17:06,157 --> 00:17:09,090
Don't let 'em lick ya.
- No, I should say they can't lick me,

278
00:17:09,275 --> 00:17:11,315
if they try
anything like that well, I—

279
00:17:12,981 --> 00:17:14,819
I just won't sign.

280
00:17:15,425 --> 00:17:18,161
Now that's right.
What have you got to lose?

281
00:17:18,784 --> 00:17:22,421
Another one of these
and we'll open our own studio!

282
00:17:28,427 --> 00:17:30,827
Bill rendered,
twenty-four dollars.

283
00:17:31,101 --> 00:17:32,369
Past due.

284
00:17:32,568 --> 00:17:35,115
Remit without further delay.

285
00:17:36,167 --> 00:17:37,736
Me.

286
00:17:46,809 --> 00:17:50,754
Poor kid. If she can't pay that bill
she gets mmm, tough luck is it?

287
00:17:51,389 --> 00:17:52,564
No!

288
00:18:08,860 --> 00:18:10,665
Now, on the fifth race...

289
00:18:10,729 --> 00:18:14,796
Fifth race,
I can't... I can't believe it... I can't...

290
00:18:32,478 --> 00:18:34,563
Hey! The program's
gonna be swell tonight.

291
00:18:34,741 --> 00:18:36,604
Now you take
this fella Beethoven:

292
00:18:36,704 --> 00:18:38,443
I'm a pushover for him.

293
00:18:38,554 --> 00:18:41,580
And Chopin... well,
he's not so dusty, either.

294
00:18:41,787 --> 00:18:43,746
But I kinda wish
that once in awhile they'd

295
00:18:43,832 --> 00:18:45,853
play something you
could sorta go out whistlin'.

296
00:18:45,878 --> 00:18:50,231
You know, like,
♪ Blood on the saddle, blood on– ♪

297
00:18:51,543 --> 00:18:53,318
Well, there's a tune.

298
00:18:53,768 --> 00:18:56,296
Hey, why don't you throw your hat in
the air or something. Can't you?

299
00:18:56,462 --> 00:18:58,864
This is a celebration,
my job starts tomorrow.

300
00:18:58,957 --> 00:19:01,345
I know it does,
and I think it's swell, Danny.

301
00:19:02,101 --> 00:19:04,272
Gee, I wish
you were in on it too.

302
00:19:04,353 --> 00:19:06,841
But oh no,
it would have to be a war picture.

303
00:19:07,016 --> 00:19:08,455
One of those
big novelty numbers...

304
00:19:08,502 --> 00:19:11,637
a war picture without any
beautiful women at the front.

305
00:19:11,930 --> 00:19:13,634
Oh well, something'll happen soon.

306
00:19:13,694 --> 00:19:14,829
Maybe.

307
00:19:16,187 --> 00:19:18,117
Why don't you go home kid?

308
00:19:18,938 --> 00:19:20,668
Oh Danny,
I can't do that.

309
00:19:20,744 --> 00:19:23,009
I came here
and I've got to stay.

310
00:19:23,416 --> 00:19:25,235
Well now,
if it's on account of money I can–

311
00:19:25,276 --> 00:19:27,200
Thank you but
you given me enough already.

312
00:19:27,221 --> 00:19:30,288
Anyhow this is no time to be worrying,
this is a party!

313
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:33,817
Look at all the people.

314
00:19:34,016 --> 00:19:36,438
Everybody in the world.

315
00:19:37,824 --> 00:19:38,847
Look!

316
00:19:40,336 --> 00:19:42,230
That's Norman Maine.

317
00:19:48,353 --> 00:19:51,938
All right, and he seems to have
had that one extra cocktail.

318
00:20:00,197 --> 00:20:02,195
Oh, thank you.

319
00:20:04,543 --> 00:20:08,101
Sit down you dope,
that's for the orchestra leader.

320
00:20:14,943 --> 00:20:17,238
Hello Mar... How are you.
- Hello, Norman.

321
00:20:18,506 --> 00:20:20,775
Oh, Mr. Maine,
Mr. Maine,

322
00:20:20,908 --> 00:20:22,667
put your arm around Miss Regis.

323
00:20:22,779 --> 00:20:25,244
Arlow, this is
the Hollywood Bowl.

324
00:20:25,677 --> 00:20:27,364
Oh, afraid of crowds?

325
00:20:27,603 --> 00:20:29,435
Go on, go on, get out of here.

326
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,541
What's the matter? You gettin too big
to bother with photographers?

327
00:20:32,569 --> 00:20:34,944
Don't want any pictures
taken now.

328
00:20:35,804 --> 00:20:36,900
Oh is that so?

329
00:20:36,931 --> 00:20:38,715
Well supposin'
I take it anyway?

330
00:20:38,771 --> 00:20:41,408
Well, I'll shove that Brownie Number 2
of yours down your throat!

331
00:20:41,441 --> 00:20:42,738
Thank you, Mr. Maine!

332
00:20:42,904 --> 00:20:44,621
Norman! Stop it! Stop!

333
00:20:45,357 --> 00:20:46,758
Norman! No!

334
00:20:46,792 --> 00:20:49,065
Oh no, Stop!
Stop it!

335
00:20:49,325 --> 00:20:50,340
Come on!

336
00:20:50,903 --> 00:20:52,958
Take it easy, Mr. Maine!
- Hey, take your hands off.

337
00:20:52,983 --> 00:20:54,119
Calm down, please.

338
00:20:55,651 --> 00:20:59,070
Normie, come back and sit down
everybody's laughing at you.

339
00:21:05,102 --> 00:21:06,277
All right, how are you.

340
00:21:06,331 --> 00:21:07,789
Hiya, Norman.

341
00:21:09,619 --> 00:21:11,083
Is he always like that?

342
00:21:11,512 --> 00:21:13,606
Well, I suppose
he has to sleep sometime.

343
00:21:13,911 --> 00:21:16,684
Oh, and he's so wonderful
on the screen.

344
00:21:18,112 --> 00:21:19,112
Shhh!

345
00:21:49,207 --> 00:21:50,324
Come in.

346
00:21:51,725 --> 00:21:53,065
Hello, Danny.

347
00:21:54,044 --> 00:21:55,250
What's the matter?

348
00:21:55,346 --> 00:21:57,644
Well, believe it or not...
I got a job for you.

349
00:21:58,857 --> 00:22:01,706
Danny, that's wonderful!
When do I go to the studio?

350
00:22:02,498 --> 00:22:04,741
Well, you don't
exactly go to the studio.

351
00:22:04,772 --> 00:22:05,996
Oh! It's on location.

352
00:22:06,081 --> 00:22:08,193
No, it's not exactly
on location either.

353
00:22:08,218 --> 00:22:09,240
Of course I haven't
any makeup.

354
00:22:09,272 --> 00:22:11,643
Will you tell me what to get
and sort of help me put it on?

355
00:22:11,687 --> 00:22:13,770
Well, you don't exactly
need any makeup,

356
00:22:13,802 --> 00:22:16,296
you see it's
not really a picture job,

357
00:22:16,391 --> 00:22:18,405
it's--it's well,
it's being a waitress.

358
00:22:21,246 --> 00:22:22,467
Oh.

359
00:22:23,239 --> 00:22:26,759
Well it's kind of a picture job
if you look at it right.

360
00:22:27,620 --> 00:22:29,252
But you said
it was a waitress.

361
00:22:29,401 --> 00:22:31,244
Well, it's waitressing
for Casey Burt,

362
00:22:31,269 --> 00:22:32,885
the big director over
at our studio.

363
00:22:32,893 --> 00:22:34,540
He's giving a party tonight

364
00:22:34,605 --> 00:22:37,494
to kind of celebrate on account of
finishing the picture. And...

365
00:22:37,702 --> 00:22:41,303
and he wanted me to get him
an extra waitress and it's five dollars.

366
00:22:41,703 --> 00:22:43,777
And I thought of you
right away, Esther.

367
00:22:44,057 --> 00:22:45,980
That was awfully
sweet of you Danny.

368
00:22:46,417 --> 00:22:47,471
Well,

369
00:22:47,511 --> 00:22:50,177
well, there's gonna be a lot
of big people at Burke's house tonight,

370
00:22:50,202 --> 00:22:52,524
and I'll bet you there's
any number of big directors,

371
00:22:52,647 --> 00:22:55,494
and if you're there
maybe they'll notice ya.

372
00:22:57,305 --> 00:22:58,645
I could make them notice me.

373
00:22:58,754 --> 00:23:01,462
Sure you could Esther!
It's your chance!

374
00:23:03,045 --> 00:23:04,325
My chance.

375
00:23:05,041 --> 00:23:06,903
All right Danny,
I'll do it. Oh...

376
00:23:07,350 --> 00:23:09,739
oh, but I can't,
I haven't got the right things to wear.

377
00:23:09,764 --> 00:23:11,765
To wear? To wear?
Oh! Oh! Yes!

378
00:23:14,843 --> 00:23:16,534
Well, you don't think
the wardrobe department's

379
00:23:16,550 --> 00:23:18,953
right next to my office
for nothing, do ya?

380
00:23:19,117 --> 00:23:21,082
Ha-ha! A perfect fit!

381
00:23:36,862 --> 00:23:38,526
Did you get to
the preview last night?

382
00:23:38,569 --> 00:23:39,710
I did.

383
00:23:42,506 --> 00:23:45,717
Vould you like
a little hors d'oeuvre?

384
00:23:46,236 --> 00:23:48,668
They are very nice.

385
00:23:48,914 --> 00:23:50,054
Well thanks.

386
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:51,776
What did you
think of the picture?

387
00:23:52,142 --> 00:23:53,969
You should have
saved it for Thanksgiving.

388
00:23:54,071 --> 00:23:57,656
What a turkey!
- Ohh..!

389
00:24:02,095 --> 00:24:03,527
Will you have
some hors d'oeuvres?

390
00:24:03,551 --> 00:24:05,407
You do like hors d'oeuvres don't you?

391
00:24:05,461 --> 00:24:09,386
I don't think there's anything so enjoyable
as hors d'oeuvres before supper

392
00:24:09,524 --> 00:24:12,030
And these are really delightful.

393
00:24:23,020 --> 00:24:24,766
...and at the finish,
the kid turns around

394
00:24:24,806 --> 00:24:26,146
and sings a lullaby
to its mother.

395
00:24:26,422 --> 00:24:27,984
Pardon me, big boy,

396
00:24:28,660 --> 00:24:31,926
but, would you like a little,
hors d'oeuvres?

397
00:24:32,284 --> 00:24:34,297
They say they're the best...

398
00:24:34,585 --> 00:24:35,917
in town.

399
00:24:35,971 --> 00:24:37,093
Don't tell me.

400
00:24:37,608 --> 00:24:39,145
I know.
Mae West.

401
00:24:39,496 --> 00:24:40,779
That's a great twist!

402
00:24:40,923 --> 00:24:43,985
But where are you gonna find
a two month old baby that can sing?

403
00:24:46,853 --> 00:24:48,688
- Hello, Oliver!
- Oh, hello Casey!

404
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,222
Do you wanna fire me now,
or wait till you see the picture?

405
00:24:51,547 --> 00:24:54,519
I'm not a director anymore I'm a...
male nurse!

406
00:24:54,996 --> 00:24:56,372
What's the matter
with the picture?

407
00:24:56,481 --> 00:24:58,447
A guy by the name of
Norman Maine.

408
00:24:59,158 --> 00:25:02,092
His work is beginning
to interfere with his drinking.

409
00:25:03,365 --> 00:25:06,506
Oliver, don't tell me I'm
to direct his next picture, too.

410
00:25:06,603 --> 00:25:07,624
Mm-hm.

411
00:25:08,495 --> 00:25:10,124
You were
my favorite producer.

412
00:25:10,391 --> 00:25:12,812
Now wait a minute,
you just go right on with your directing.

413
00:25:13,109 --> 00:25:14,554
I'll take care of these stars.

414
00:25:14,728 --> 00:25:15,939
I know how to handle them.

415
00:25:16,199 --> 00:25:19,556
I had a serious talk with Norman
after that uh, Hollywood Bowl occurrence.

416
00:25:19,562 --> 00:25:21,806
And you don't have to worry any more
about his behavior.

417
00:25:21,882 --> 00:25:23,288
Excuse me, Mister Niles.

418
00:25:23,557 --> 00:25:26,119
Mr Libby, of your publicity department
is on the telephone.

419
00:25:26,290 --> 00:25:27,853
He says it's most important, sir.

420
00:25:28,353 --> 00:25:30,739
It's about Mr. Maine.
- Thank you.

421
00:25:33,134 --> 00:25:35,282
Oh, it's probably
just some little thing.

422
00:25:35,379 --> 00:25:36,706
Hm-mh. Of course, Oliver!

423
00:25:37,041 --> 00:25:38,146
I'll turn on the radio

424
00:25:38,171 --> 00:25:41,027
and see if he's called out
the National Guard yet.

425
00:25:42,136 --> 00:25:43,636
Hello Libby,
what's the good word?

426
00:25:44,191 --> 00:25:47,902
Mister Norman Maine,
America's Prince Charming,

427
00:25:48,316 --> 00:25:50,382
was apprehended
driving an ambulance

428
00:25:50,407 --> 00:25:51,882
down Wilshire Boulevard!

429
00:25:52,011 --> 00:25:54,049
With a siren
going full blast.

430
00:25:54,556 --> 00:25:57,841
He explained he was a tree surgeon
on a maternity case.

431
00:25:58,163 --> 00:25:59,788
Well... uh, uh,
will it be in the papers?

432
00:25:59,944 --> 00:26:01,737
No it won't
be in the papers.

433
00:26:01,979 --> 00:26:04,682
But that's a nice
expensive hobby of yours.

434
00:26:04,855 --> 00:26:08,730
Keeping Mr. Maine's informal entertainments
out of the public press.

435
00:26:09,816 --> 00:26:11,586
Oh, that's fine work Libby.

436
00:26:11,777 --> 00:26:13,613
Try and see that
no one gets to Norman.

437
00:26:13,719 --> 00:26:16,213
He's probably home sleeping it off.
- Oliver.

438
00:26:17,120 --> 00:26:20,177
Why can't you forget those dopes
at the studio for one night?

439
00:26:20,482 --> 00:26:22,152
Business, business all the time.

440
00:26:22,177 --> 00:26:23,755
I don't know
what's gonna become of you.

441
00:26:25,887 --> 00:26:27,229
Norman!

442
00:26:27,819 --> 00:26:29,275
Why didn't you call for me?

443
00:26:29,798 --> 00:26:32,116
Oh but darling,
why didn't I call for you?

444
00:26:32,695 --> 00:26:35,344
In case you've forgotten,
I was supposed to come here with you.

445
00:26:35,382 --> 00:26:37,876
Oh that... oh that's all right,
I got here without any trouble.

446
00:26:38,061 --> 00:26:40,200
The only reason
I don't slap your face–

447
00:26:40,225 --> 00:26:42,229
Yes, yes, darling. I, I know.

448
00:26:42,501 --> 00:26:44,485
- Hello John!
- Oh. Hello, old man!

449
00:26:44,534 --> 00:26:47,126
What's the matter with Oliver?
He looks as if he got bad news.

450
00:26:48,525 --> 00:26:50,041
Hello!
Hello Larry.

451
00:26:51,747 --> 00:26:53,051
What's the matter, old boy?

452
00:26:53,629 --> 00:26:56,045
Maybe I'm wrong. I guess I've been
drinking too much lately.

453
00:26:56,084 --> 00:26:58,316
Oh you ought to cut that down,
it's bad stuff.

454
00:26:58,579 --> 00:26:59,965
Scotch and soda.

455
00:27:05,353 --> 00:27:06,743
Come on, come on,
come on.

456
00:27:07,885 --> 00:27:09,580
The word, you know,
is pronounced 'when'.

457
00:27:10,281 --> 00:27:11,737
Bad dialouge, Oliver.

458
00:27:12,388 --> 00:27:13,812
I would rather not watch this.

459
00:27:14,979 --> 00:27:16,383
You know best.

460
00:27:16,862 --> 00:27:17,979
Soda!

461
00:27:19,789 --> 00:27:20,953
Thank you!

462
00:27:25,773 --> 00:27:28,378
Go ahead and say it.
I've got it coming to me.

463
00:27:28,630 --> 00:27:30,156
Don't make it
tougher on me Norman.

464
00:27:30,276 --> 00:27:31,719
I don't want to
stand here and preach.

465
00:27:31,762 --> 00:27:33,076
But take a look at
my side of it,

466
00:27:33,154 --> 00:27:34,838
I'm trying to
make pictures with you.

467
00:27:34,863 --> 00:27:35,881
I know, I know.

468
00:27:36,100 --> 00:27:38,337
Costs are going up
and the grosses are going down.

469
00:27:38,375 --> 00:27:39,420
No, it isn't that.

470
00:27:39,501 --> 00:27:40,879
I've made lots
of money with you,

471
00:27:40,995 --> 00:27:42,336
and I can afford
to take a loss,

472
00:27:42,454 --> 00:27:44,482
but I hate to see you
going the way of so many others.

473
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,377
Why don't you get Lloyds to
insure you against me?

474
00:27:47,455 --> 00:27:50,308
You can't get insurance
against a man forgetting who he is.

475
00:27:50,519 --> 00:27:51,772
You're a great star Norman,

476
00:27:51,796 --> 00:27:53,246
but there's nobody so big
they can afford

477
00:27:53,277 --> 00:27:54,777
to have people
refuse to work with him.

478
00:27:54,918 --> 00:27:56,236
Who doesn't wanna
work with me? You–

479
00:27:56,260 --> 00:27:57,379
Shh! Quiet.

480
00:27:57,418 --> 00:27:59,008
Listen, I know
plenty people who do.

481
00:27:59,055 --> 00:28:00,100
Yes and so do I,

482
00:28:00,125 --> 00:28:03,188
but your real friends can't stand
seeing you start to fall apart.

483
00:28:03,313 --> 00:28:04,559
What do you mean by that?

484
00:28:04,708 --> 00:28:06,356
The first signs
are always the same:

485
00:28:06,426 --> 00:28:08,354
Not being able to
remember your lines,

486
00:28:08,462 --> 00:28:10,270
camera man struggling to
cover your hangovers,

487
00:28:10,286 --> 00:28:11,973
and all because you have to
have a good time...

488
00:28:12,004 --> 00:28:13,402
...every day and every night.

489
00:28:13,433 --> 00:28:14,605
Listen, I've warned you
for a long time–

490
00:28:14,630 --> 00:28:16,241
Okay, Oliver, you're a swell guy,

491
00:28:16,251 --> 00:28:18,687
you won't lose any money on me.
I promise you that.

492
00:28:18,898 --> 00:28:21,529
I'll be ready for the curtains
when the time comes.

493
00:28:23,540 --> 00:28:24,619
When it does,

494
00:28:25,169 --> 00:28:26,497
Here's my epitaph.

495
00:28:30,608 --> 00:28:32,156
Now I think I'll uh...

496
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,478
have a little drink.

497
00:28:38,115 --> 00:28:39,677
Scotch and soda

498
00:28:44,224 --> 00:28:46,195
Scotch and Soda.

499
00:28:51,695 --> 00:28:53,569
Come on, come on, come on,
come on.

500
00:28:57,390 --> 00:28:58,420
And a little soda.

501
00:28:58,903 --> 00:29:00,714
- Caviar?
- No, thanks.

502
00:29:00,776 --> 00:29:02,740
Yes, I, uh... Pardon there.

503
00:29:05,609 --> 00:29:07,463
Hi...
lovely, lovely.

504
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,322
I mean the caviar.

505
00:29:10,908 --> 00:29:13,185
No, don't--don't go away,
I'm starving, ah...

506
00:29:13,752 --> 00:29:15,015
really, hmm.

507
00:29:17,214 --> 00:29:18,961
Which...
Which would you take?

508
00:29:19,305 --> 00:29:20,461
Oh, I don't know.

509
00:29:20,548 --> 00:29:22,526
You don't know?
I-I don't know either.

510
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:24,510
It's hard to choose.

511
00:29:24,814 --> 00:29:26,564
But I think I'll take, caviar.

512
00:29:26,589 --> 00:29:28,969
Mr. Maine doesn't care
for any more.

513
00:29:30,019 --> 00:29:31,303
Do you, Normie?

514
00:29:31,696 --> 00:29:32,700
No.

515
00:29:33,407 --> 00:29:35,567
No, Normie
doesn't care for any more.

516
00:29:39,093 --> 00:29:41,827
I think I shall
get very drunk indeed.

517
00:29:47,965 --> 00:29:49,636
Scotch and so–

518
00:29:49,897 --> 00:29:51,596
Sorry, I have something.

519
00:30:07,216 --> 00:30:09,841
- Oh.
- Do you mind if I help?

520
00:30:15,221 --> 00:30:16,429
Won't they miss you?

521
00:30:16,740 --> 00:30:19,069
Oh no, no, they'll
just look under the table

522
00:30:19,100 --> 00:30:20,368
and when they see
I'm not there,

523
00:30:20,399 --> 00:30:22,908
they'll forget the whole matter.

524
00:30:24,686 --> 00:30:25,849
Eh, what, uh...

525
00:30:26,676 --> 00:30:27,987
What--What's your name?

526
00:30:28,344 --> 00:30:29,543
Esther Blodgett.

527
00:30:29,605 --> 00:30:30,820
My name is Maine.

528
00:30:30,954 --> 00:30:33,242
- I know.
- You do? Huh.

529
00:30:37,008 --> 00:30:38,412
What, what's so funny?

530
00:30:38,482 --> 00:30:40,237
I was just
thinking about all your fans

531
00:30:40,262 --> 00:30:42,157
and how surprised they'd be
to see you here

532
00:30:42,182 --> 00:30:43,459
helping me
put plates away.

533
00:30:43,483 --> 00:30:45,747
Oh they--they don't know
my finer side.

534
00:30:45,772 --> 00:30:47,764
They'd be pretty envious of me,

535
00:30:47,802 --> 00:30:49,230
meeting you
this way in person.

536
00:30:49,387 --> 00:30:50,743
Oh, how'd you do?

537
00:30:51,201 --> 00:30:52,757
So tell me are, are...

538
00:30:53,063 --> 00:30:54,663
are-are you disappointed?

539
00:30:55,437 --> 00:30:56,445
Yes.

540
00:30:57,976 --> 00:30:59,867
Oh.
Now you've done it.

541
00:31:00,299 --> 00:31:03,444
Oh never mind that,
that makes the room look lived in.

542
00:31:05,573 --> 00:31:07,563
Tell me uh,
why...

543
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,333
why--why are you disappointed?

544
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,290
I was sitting behind you
at the Hollywood Bowl,

545
00:31:12,315 --> 00:31:14,912
the night you didn't want
to be photographed.

546
00:31:19,175 --> 00:31:22,156
I'm told I crept in to
many a heart that night.

547
00:31:22,275 --> 00:31:23,924
Oh, I can never explain this.

548
00:31:24,268 --> 00:31:25,792
You know you have
very pretty hair.

549
00:31:25,839 --> 00:31:26,953
You better get out of here.

550
00:31:26,991 --> 00:31:30,068
...and a sensitive mouth,
and a charming little...

551
00:31:30,094 --> 00:31:32,963
Precisely why are you're here
instead of with the rest of the guests?

552
00:31:33,140 --> 00:31:35,103
Well, I was just
trying to be helpful and–

553
00:31:35,128 --> 00:31:36,143
I see.

554
00:31:36,308 --> 00:31:38,441
Are you sure
there's no other attraction?

555
00:31:38,877 --> 00:31:42,096
Well it might be that my
old mania for putting plates away

556
00:31:42,128 --> 00:31:43,424
is coming back on me.

557
00:31:43,669 --> 00:31:46,017
It's rather odd.
I always know where I can find you,

558
00:31:46,126 --> 00:31:47,626
if there's a...
pretty girl around.

559
00:31:47,688 --> 00:31:49,295
It's not only odd,
it's embarrassing.

560
00:31:49,365 --> 00:31:51,163
You're being
deliberately insulting Norman.

561
00:31:51,304 --> 00:31:52,714
I've put up with you
for long enough–

562
00:31:52,753 --> 00:31:54,045
Now, now, now dear,
don't lose your temper.

563
00:31:54,092 --> 00:31:56,541
Remember, we must
try to keep the voice low.

564
00:31:57,322 --> 00:32:00,289
I know you'll excuse us
if we go on with our work.

565
00:32:14,668 --> 00:32:16,553
Now see what you've done!

566
00:32:24,001 --> 00:32:24,682
Come here.

567
00:32:24,842 --> 00:32:25,995
Help me up.

568
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:28,692
Are you hurt?

569
00:32:28,782 --> 00:32:30,831
N... n-no more than usual.

570
00:32:31,438 --> 00:32:33,290
Come on! The wolves are on us,
we gotta get outta here.

571
00:32:33,315 --> 00:32:35,027
Well, I can't!
The dishes aren't finished!

572
00:32:35,129 --> 00:32:36,350
Oh yes they are!

573
00:32:47,586 --> 00:32:48,716
Well,

574
00:32:50,858 --> 00:32:52,596
I bet I know what
you're gonna say now.

575
00:32:52,816 --> 00:32:53,830
What?

576
00:32:54,305 --> 00:32:55,406
Good night.

577
00:32:55,758 --> 00:32:57,363
Good night and thanks.

578
00:32:58,837 --> 00:33:00,604
Hey wait a minute.
Wait a minute.

579
00:33:01,433 --> 00:33:02,524
Hey, uh...

580
00:33:02,721 --> 00:33:04,042
you realize that...

581
00:33:04,372 --> 00:33:06,950
all I found out about you
is that you're uh...

582
00:33:07,059 --> 00:33:08,971
foolish enough to
want to go into pictures?

583
00:33:08,995 --> 00:33:10,754
Why the foolish?
Look at you.

584
00:33:11,071 --> 00:33:13,126
Yeah, that's what I mean.

585
00:33:13,708 --> 00:33:15,088
No I'd, uh...

586
00:33:15,473 --> 00:33:17,574
I'd rather like to
go into this matter,

587
00:33:17,660 --> 00:33:19,327
a little more thoroughly.

588
00:33:19,745 --> 00:33:21,771
Well, that's awfully nice of you.

589
00:33:22,356 --> 00:33:23,553
Why uh...

590
00:33:23,976 --> 00:33:27,321
why don't we, uh,
go on up to my place and...

591
00:33:27,775 --> 00:33:28,841
talk it over?

592
00:33:28,997 --> 00:33:31,165
Oh, no.
Thank you very much, but...

593
00:33:31,362 --> 00:33:33,011
I really must say goodnight.

594
00:33:34,503 --> 00:33:35,826
Good night.

595
00:33:36,757 --> 00:33:38,218
Oh, but you're not angry?

596
00:33:38,330 --> 00:33:39,359
No no no.

597
00:33:39,903 --> 00:33:41,109
I'm hungry.

598
00:33:41,579 --> 00:33:44,422
Well, why don't you go
and get something to eat?

599
00:33:46,624 --> 00:33:48,216
Goodnight, Miss Blodgett.

600
00:33:48,830 --> 00:33:50,649
Goodnight, Mr. Maine.

601
00:33:51,771 --> 00:33:52,919
Wait a minute!

602
00:33:53,537 --> 00:33:54,537
Here,

603
00:33:54,850 --> 00:33:57,410
the least I can do
is to see you to your door.

604
00:33:59,886 --> 00:34:01,240
Will I see you again?

605
00:34:01,381 --> 00:34:02,754
I hope so.

606
00:34:05,186 --> 00:34:07,672
Has anyone ever told you
that you're lovely?

607
00:34:09,021 --> 00:34:10,395
Well, now you know.

608
00:34:11,225 --> 00:34:12,872
Thank you.

609
00:34:17,204 --> 00:34:18,235
It's uh...

610
00:34:20,255 --> 00:34:21,847
it's hard to say, but I...

611
00:34:22,084 --> 00:34:23,593
I wanna say it anyway.

612
00:34:25,019 --> 00:34:28,778
You know, I'm a-- I'm a screen--
I'm a-- you know...

613
00:34:29,876 --> 00:34:33,923
in private life, I'm a...
Well, you know...

614
00:34:35,087 --> 00:34:37,482
But, whatever I do, I...

615
00:34:38,110 --> 00:34:40,731
I still respect lovely things.

616
00:34:42,251 --> 00:34:43,815
And you are lovely.

617
00:34:44,936 --> 00:34:46,386
Do you understand?

618
00:34:47,258 --> 00:34:49,060
Yes, I-I think I do.

619
00:34:49,271 --> 00:34:51,887
And it isn't that bump on the head
that's doing this.

620
00:34:52,523 --> 00:34:54,039
Well, I'm glad.

621
00:35:00,497 --> 00:35:03,092
Good night.
- Good night.

622
00:35:07,722 --> 00:35:08,736
Hey!

623
00:35:09,766 --> 00:35:12,915
Do you mind if I take
just one more look?

624
00:35:20,887 --> 00:35:22,317
Go away!

625
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:23,676
Quite impossible.

626
00:35:24,213 --> 00:35:25,823
I wouldn't
even consider it!

627
00:35:26,380 --> 00:35:27,910
Oh no, no!

628
00:35:37,934 --> 00:35:39,000
Hello?

629
00:35:39,617 --> 00:35:40,624
Who is it?

630
00:35:41,090 --> 00:35:42,100
Who?

631
00:35:42,279 --> 00:35:43,510
Norman?!

632
00:35:44,123 --> 00:35:45,521
What have you
done now?

633
00:35:46,070 --> 00:35:47,555
You're not in jail are you?

634
00:35:48,395 --> 00:35:50,548
Ohhh..!

635
00:35:51,809 --> 00:35:53,425
Yes, I see.

636
00:35:54,220 --> 00:35:55,522
Oh it's that again.

637
00:35:55,749 --> 00:35:57,024
I see.

638
00:35:57,579 --> 00:35:58,657
She's beautiful.

639
00:35:59,027 --> 00:36:01,193
Yeah. I know, you want me
to give her a screen test.

640
00:36:01,967 --> 00:36:05,323
Yeah, certainly, she's got
wonderful possibilities.

641
00:36:06,275 --> 00:36:08,296
Oh, you know
she's got something...

642
00:36:08,629 --> 00:36:11,216
and you knew all the other ones
had something too.

643
00:36:13,810 --> 00:36:14,915
Oh no!

644
00:36:15,258 --> 00:36:16,289
I tell you Oliver,

645
00:36:16,356 --> 00:36:19,155
she's got that sincerity...
and-and honestness,

646
00:36:19,349 --> 00:36:20,380
and uh, uh,

647
00:36:20,768 --> 00:36:25,300
uh, sin-sincerity and honestness,
that uh, that makes great actresses.

648
00:36:25,355 --> 00:36:26,355
You c–

649
00:36:27,053 --> 00:36:30,420
Oliver, I am so sure of this girl,

650
00:36:30,702 --> 00:36:33,062
that I want to
take the test with her myself.

651
00:36:33,908 --> 00:36:34,940
Hmm...

652
00:36:35,674 --> 00:36:37,442
Listen Oliver,
you've worked hard,

653
00:36:37,622 --> 00:36:39,267
you're entitled to a break.

654
00:36:39,625 --> 00:36:40,766
You get—

655
00:36:46,212 --> 00:36:47,722
Yes. I heard you.

656
00:36:48,097 --> 00:36:49,977
Anything.
ANYTHING!

657
00:36:50,117 --> 00:36:51,298
Yes!

658
00:36:51,980 --> 00:36:53,296
Yes.
- Yeah.

659
00:36:53,533 --> 00:36:54,853
Oliver, look...

660
00:36:55,209 --> 00:36:58,211
you--you try to get
a little sleep now old man, you–

661
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,111
Right.
All right boy.

662
00:37:00,196 --> 00:37:01,641
Good--good night.

663
00:37:04,178 --> 00:37:05,328
I need coffee.

664
00:37:05,473 --> 00:37:06,473
Bathroom.

665
00:37:07,055 --> 00:37:08,481
There they are...

666
00:37:11,813 --> 00:37:13,385
What do I do today...

667
00:37:14,134 --> 00:37:15,406
Telephone book

668
00:37:16,021 --> 00:37:17,795
Telephone book.

Oh, yes!

670
00:37:22,737 --> 00:37:24,237
Where's the telephone book?

671
00:37:24,421 --> 00:37:25,053
Ye...

Some drunk trying to be funny,
says he's Norman Maine.

690
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:05,210
Oh! Oh thanks,
I'll be right down.

691
00:39:07,601 --> 00:39:08,766
And Miss Blodgett,

692
00:39:08,825 --> 00:39:11,299
would you give him
a message for me?

693
00:39:11,790 --> 00:39:14,530
Tell him it's
THREE O' CLOCK IN THE MORNING!!!

694
00:39:21,389 --> 00:39:22,389
Ohh..!

695
00:39:37,859 --> 00:39:38,839
Hello?

696
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:39,922
What?

697
00:39:41,663 --> 00:39:42,664
Ohh!

698
00:39:44,271 --> 00:39:45,276
Ohh!!

699
00:39:46,951 --> 00:39:48,033
Oh...

00:39:48,471 --> 00:39:51,273
Oh yes, yes,
I'll be there!

701
00:39:51,508 --> 00:39:53,750
Oh, thank you!

702
00:39:57,829 --> 00:39:59,857
Danny! Danny!

703
00:39:59,882 --> 00:40:02,527
- Mmh? Mmh? Oh-oh!
- Danny, what do you think?

704
00:40:02,558 --> 00:40:05,354
I'm going to take a test tomorrow
and Norman Maine's helping me do it!

705
00:40:05,716 --> 00:40:07,878
Mhm, I'm taking one too.

706
00:40:08,766 --> 00:40:10,902
Garbo's assisting me.

707
00:40:38,216 --> 00:40:39,429
Move that glow bulb in.

708
00:40:39,698 --> 00:40:41,118
Put a silk on that thorn.

709
00:40:41,143 --> 00:40:42,289
No, the A key.

710
00:40:42,475 --> 00:40:43,801
Is this light
too hot for you, Hanley?

711
00:40:43,835 --> 00:40:45,774
Okay...
we'll put that on the drive way.

712
00:40:46,018 --> 00:40:47,645
Put a double on that 90.

713
00:40:47,992 --> 00:40:51,232
Bring it down a little.
That's it!

714
00:40:58,730 --> 00:41:00,155
Pull down on that 150.

715
00:41:04,306 --> 00:41:05,802
Pull down on that 150.

716
00:41:20,942 --> 00:41:22,006
Lend me an apple bar.

717
00:41:22,031 --> 00:41:24,698
Listen, gentlemen.
Please, if you don't mind.

718
00:41:26,929 --> 00:41:29,124
This is...
this is just a test.

719
00:41:29,241 --> 00:41:30,803
Ready Mr. Burke

720
00:41:30,937 --> 00:41:31,983
Ready Mr. Burke

721
00:41:32,030 --> 00:41:35,082
Ready now, Mr. Burke - All ready Mr. Burke
- Ready now, Mr. Burke

722
00:41:35,107 --> 00:41:37,825
All ready Mr. Burke!
- We're ready Mr. Burke

723
00:41:40,749 --> 00:41:41,988
All right, let's take it

724
00:41:42,113 --> 00:41:43,277
QUIET!

725
00:41:43,411 --> 00:41:44,824
- Quiet!
- Quiet!

726
00:41:45,007 --> 00:41:46,271
- Quiet!
- Quiet!

727
00:41:46,370 --> 00:41:48,512
- Quiet!
- Quiet!

728
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:49,976
Ready Norman.

729
00:41:50,130 --> 00:41:51,141
Yup.

730
00:41:51,927 --> 00:41:54,447
Ready Miss uh,
what's your name?

731
00:41:56,084 --> 00:41:57,853
He'll soon know your name, Esther.

732
00:41:58,072 --> 00:41:59,681
The whole world's
going to know it.

733
00:41:59,976 --> 00:42:01,433
But I-I'm so scared.

734
00:42:01,572 --> 00:42:02,826
Maybe I'd better not try today.

735
00:42:02,881 --> 00:42:04,395
Oh, come on,
now don't be foolish,

736
00:42:04,426 --> 00:42:05,828
they all had
to go through this...

737
00:42:05,852 --> 00:42:08,129
Harlow, Lombard, Myrna Loy.

738
00:42:08,428 --> 00:42:09,569
And now,

739
00:42:09,653 --> 00:42:11,030
Esther Blodgett.

740
00:42:12,167 --> 00:42:13,214
All right.

741
00:42:13,500 --> 00:42:14,599
I'm ready.

742
00:42:15,221 --> 00:42:17,113
This is a take.
Roll 'em.

743
00:42:17,425 --> 00:42:18,534
Quiet!

744
00:42:18,806 --> 00:42:20,924
Take.

745
00:42:27,005 --> 00:42:28,880
I may as well tell you
that my whole organization

746
00:42:28,905 --> 00:42:31,013
thinks I've gone a little nuts
to sign you.

747
00:42:32,381 --> 00:42:34,357
Well, maybe they are right,
I've been nuts before.

748
00:42:34,549 --> 00:42:36,575
You see,
all the experts seem to think

749
00:42:36,614 --> 00:42:39,334
that your type is a little mild
for present day taste.

750
00:42:39,709 --> 00:42:42,579
But I'd rather believe that
tastes change, like eyebrows.

751
00:42:42,657 --> 00:42:44,212
And I think that
also like eyebrows,

752
00:42:44,244 --> 00:42:45,751
tastes are going
back to the natural.

753
00:42:46,064 --> 00:42:47,514
You look like a nice girl.

754
00:42:49,510 --> 00:42:51,363
I think I'm going
to like you.

755
00:42:53,253 --> 00:42:54,403
That's not important.

756
00:42:54,489 --> 00:42:56,785
I think the public will like you.
That is important.

757
00:42:57,592 --> 00:42:58,404
Yes.

758
00:42:58,639 --> 00:43:00,794
I see what you mean...
I--I mean I know it is.

759
00:43:00,950 --> 00:43:02,616
Well you don't think
it's going to be easy.

760
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,162
Nothing you really want is
ever given away free.

761
00:43:05,544 --> 00:43:06,685
You have to
pay for it.

762
00:43:07,220 --> 00:43:08,987
And usually
with your heart.

763
00:43:10,748 --> 00:43:12,584
Someone else
told me that once.

764
00:43:12,963 --> 00:43:15,190
But you still have to
work it out for yourself.

765
00:43:16,228 --> 00:43:18,271
Oh well, all this is
just a long way of saying:

766
00:43:18,427 --> 00:43:20,289
I'm glad you're with us,
and good luck to you.

767
00:43:20,383 --> 00:43:23,163
And now, I'm going to turn you over
to our demon press agent, Libby.

768
00:43:23,685 --> 00:43:24,668
Don't let him frighten you.

769
00:43:24,778 --> 00:43:27,104
He has a heart of gold...
only harder.

770
00:43:28,853 --> 00:43:32,438
And for the love of Pete, learn to
close your mouth and keep it closed.

771
00:43:32,708 --> 00:43:34,641
Even in your love scenes.

772
00:43:46,961 --> 00:43:48,390
Are you a Russian?

773
00:43:48,710 --> 00:43:50,871
No, I was born in
Filmore, North Dakota.

774
00:43:51,093 --> 00:43:52,229
Oh no.

775
00:43:53,754 --> 00:43:54,952
Grace saw light of day

776
00:43:55,618 --> 00:43:56,781
in a mountain cabin,

777
00:43:57,185 --> 00:43:58,279
a trappers hut...

778
00:43:58,620 --> 00:44:00,671
high up in the rockies.

779
00:44:02,066 --> 00:44:03,177
Go on.

780
00:44:03,559 --> 00:44:05,952
Well I, I always wanted
to be an actress.

781
00:44:06,786 --> 00:44:07,983
Dreamed of footlights,

782
00:44:08,383 --> 00:44:10,141
as lonely kitty.

783
00:44:11,277 --> 00:44:13,128
Are you sure there's
no Russian in your family?

784
00:44:13,355 --> 00:44:15,294
- Positive.
- That's a shame.

785
00:44:15,510 --> 00:44:17,257
Well, what
does your father do?

786
00:44:17,489 --> 00:44:19,594
- He's a farmer.
- Nah...

787
00:44:20,521 --> 00:44:25,981
Social register-ied father,
fed up with hypocrisies, a '400',

788
00:44:26,225 --> 00:44:28,350
sought wilderness
for consolation.

789
00:44:29,101 --> 00:44:31,173
There amidst
the mountain flowers,

790
00:44:31,412 --> 00:44:33,010
he raised another blossom.

791
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:35,052
His lovely little daughter...

792
00:44:35,607 --> 00:44:36,671
What's your name?

793
00:44:37,292 --> 00:44:40,257
Esther Victoria Blodgett.

794
00:44:45,844 --> 00:44:48,814
Greatly appreciating your attention
in this matter, very truely...

795
00:44:48,839 --> 00:44:50,972
Do you know
what her name is?

796
00:44:51,254 --> 00:44:55,020
Esther Victoria Blodgett.

797
00:44:56,145 --> 00:44:58,485
Hey, we'll have to do
something about that, right away.

798
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,601
Esther Victoria Blodgett.

799
00:45:04,499 --> 00:45:06,175
Well, that Blodgett's
definitely out.

800
00:45:06,230 --> 00:45:08,493
Let's see, ah,
Esther Victoria,

801
00:45:08,517 --> 00:45:10,398
Victoria, Vicki.
How about Vicki?

802
00:45:10,472 --> 00:45:12,031
Oh I think
that's terribly cute!

803
00:45:12,093 --> 00:45:13,468
Let's see, Vicki, Vicki what?

804
00:45:13,561 --> 00:45:15,141
Vicki Vicki. Pronounced...

805
00:45:15,219 --> 00:45:17,332
Vicki. Vicki.

806
00:45:20,297 --> 00:45:22,363
Siesta, Besta, Sesta, Desta, Festa...

807
00:45:22,425 --> 00:45:25,624
Oh, that's very pretty.

808
00:45:27,155 --> 00:45:29,363
Hesta, Hester, Jester, Lester,
Vicki Lester!

809
00:45:29,394 --> 00:45:30,641
Oh I like that!

810
00:45:30,773 --> 00:45:32,054
- Say it!
- Vicki Lester.

811
00:45:32,109 --> 00:45:33,463
- Say it again.
- Vicki Lester.

812
00:45:33,488 --> 00:45:35,043
- Say it again.
- Vicki Lester.

813
00:45:35,282 --> 00:45:36,812
- Say it!
- Vicki Lester.

814
00:45:36,833 --> 00:45:38,394
- Say Vicki Lester
- Vicki Lester

815
00:45:38,449 --> 00:45:41,715
- Vicki Lester. - Vicki Lester.
- Vicki Lester.

816
00:45:42,039 --> 00:45:43,754
Vicki Lester.

817
00:45:45,170 --> 00:45:46,191
Flash!

818
00:45:46,356 --> 00:45:48,465
Oliver Niles' Studio
discovers new starlet.

819
00:45:48,590 --> 00:45:50,100
A Cinderella
of the Rockies.

820
00:45:50,295 --> 00:45:52,239
Her name
is Vicki Lester.

821
00:45:52,495 --> 00:45:55,880
Those who have peeked
tell me should couldn't be more divine.

822
00:45:56,074 --> 00:45:58,769
The face of an angel
and such natural talents.

823
00:45:58,933 --> 00:46:00,481
Her voice
is a symphony.

824
00:46:00,506 --> 00:46:03,690
Her very walk, they tell me,
is enough... to drive men mad!

825
00:46:06,319 --> 00:46:07,922
Not that way!

826
00:46:09,052 --> 00:46:11,404
Get the lead outta your feet!
Lift 'em up!

827
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:20,065
That's better.

828
00:46:20,090 --> 00:46:21,940
It's terrible,
but it's better.

829
00:46:22,948 --> 00:46:25,484
The quality of mercy
is not strained.

830
00:46:25,570 --> 00:46:27,847
It droppeth as the gentle rain
from heaven.

831
00:46:27,872 --> 00:46:31,221
Cease! Through the mouth,
my child, through the mouth.

832
00:46:31,898 --> 00:46:35,116
The nose is for smelling roses.

833
00:46:35,254 --> 00:46:36,335
Proceed.

834
00:46:40,329 --> 00:46:43,660
Does she have to look surprised
all the time?

835
00:46:49,101 --> 00:46:51,210
Anyway,
it's just a rough sketch.

836
00:46:51,633 --> 00:46:53,005
Pretty small mouth, eh?

837
00:46:57,751 --> 00:46:58,907
Oh well, mmh...

838
00:46:59,195 --> 00:47:00,925
Give her that Crawford smear.

839
00:47:09,393 --> 00:47:12,699
This will give her
that Dietrich mm-yeah!

840
00:47:19,505 --> 00:47:20,877
We are
on the wrong track.

841
00:47:21,533 --> 00:47:23,472
She still
looks surprised.

842
00:47:27,934 --> 00:47:29,041
Listen drunk people:

843
00:47:29,088 --> 00:47:31,992
We're shootin' on the set this morning,
not in the commissary.

844
00:47:32,055 --> 00:47:33,611
Now come on,
snap in to it!

845
00:47:37,531 --> 00:47:39,689
Acme t-rrrrucking company.

846
00:47:39,990 --> 00:47:43,363
Noo, Mister Smith is not in!

847
00:47:49,474 --> 00:47:51,396
Acme trucking company.

848
00:47:51,848 --> 00:47:53,043
Uh, no.

849
00:47:53,226 --> 00:47:55,802
Mister Smith is not in.

850
00:48:04,397 --> 00:48:06,578
Good morning,
what can I bring you Mr. Maine?

851
00:48:06,730 --> 00:48:08,710
That just shows
how long you've been here.

852
00:48:08,921 --> 00:48:10,445
Mabel, bless you.

853
00:48:10,915 --> 00:48:12,876
How soon are you and I gonna
be married, huh?

854
00:48:12,985 --> 00:48:14,058
I don't know.

855
00:48:14,469 --> 00:48:15,968
You'll have to
ask my mother.

856
00:48:25,628 --> 00:48:27,557
Ahcme trrucking company.

857
00:48:27,917 --> 00:48:31,285
Ah, no, Mister Smythe is not in.

858
00:48:34,347 --> 00:48:36,563
Acme t-rucking company.

859
00:48:36,742 --> 00:48:40,498
No, Mister er, Smith is not in.

860
00:48:43,928 --> 00:48:47,010
Acme.
Naw, Smith ain't in!

861
00:48:58,247 --> 00:48:59,862
Acme trucking company.

862
00:48:59,887 --> 00:49:02,493
- I'd like to speak to Mr. Smith please.
- Mister Smith is not–

863
00:49:02,837 --> 00:49:04,251
Oh, Norman!

864
00:49:04,478 --> 00:49:06,022
What's all this
between you and Smith?

865
00:49:06,047 --> 00:49:07,701
I got a part.
It's only one line...

866
00:49:07,763 --> 00:49:08,833
but it's in the picture!

867
00:49:08,943 --> 00:49:11,804
So it's ambition that made you
break that date with me last night.

868
00:49:11,962 --> 00:49:13,991
Well, I had to be here
so early this morning and–

869
00:49:14,126 --> 00:49:15,384
So did I.

870
00:49:15,798 --> 00:49:17,649
I had to stay up all night
to make it.

871
00:49:18,776 --> 00:49:20,455
You've started your picture,
haven't you?

872
00:49:20,522 --> 00:49:23,058
No, no we are still
in the testing stage.

873
00:49:23,306 --> 00:49:25,650
We can't seem to get
the right girl for the lead.

874
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:28,895
Hmm... You'd think with
all the girls there are that–

875
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:31,017
Yeah, well,
this one's got to be different.

876
00:49:31,096 --> 00:49:34,092
She's got to be
little, and cute, and sweet

877
00:49:34,427 --> 00:49:35,842
and intelligent.

878
00:49:37,854 --> 00:49:39,021
Well blow me down.

879
00:49:39,046 --> 00:49:41,919
- What?
- Well close my tired old eyes.

880
00:49:41,987 --> 00:49:44,022
- Wha--what is it?
- Hold everything, come on!

881
00:49:44,706 --> 00:49:45,721
Come on!

882
00:49:50,608 --> 00:49:52,338
I heard you've been through the
whole casting directory–

883
00:49:52,340 --> 00:49:54,409
- I'll work day and night Mr. Niles.
- And I'll work with her Oliver!

884
00:49:54,432 --> 00:49:57,153
And I can be mean or nasty
or anything you want, Mr Niles.

885
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:59,547
If she clicks Oliver,
you've got a star overnight.

886
00:50:01,906 --> 00:50:03,114
Okay.

887
00:50:41,333 --> 00:50:43,864
Wait till you hear them at
the end of the picture.

888
00:51:12,957 --> 00:51:14,051
Do you think
we were noticed?

889
00:51:14,076 --> 00:51:15,825
By no one...
They're much to busy

890
00:51:15,849 --> 00:51:17,145
playing at croquet.

891
00:51:19,775 --> 00:51:21,705
I've loved you
all my life.

892
00:51:22,186 --> 00:51:24,348
But, we only met
two days ago.

893
00:51:25,242 --> 00:51:27,746
That's when my life began.

894
00:51:51,377 --> 00:51:52,398
Ain't she cute?

895
00:51:52,437 --> 00:51:54,230
You know I think she's
the same type I am.

896
00:51:54,255 --> 00:51:55,649
Don't you?
I think she's sweet.

897
00:51:55,790 --> 00:51:57,472
Well, it's
Vicki Lester's picture all right.

898
00:51:57,497 --> 00:51:59,230
I think she was
much better than he was.

899
00:51:59,339 --> 00:52:01,187
These producers
are so horribly dumb.

900
00:52:01,212 --> 00:52:02,243
They won't know how
good she is.

901
00:52:02,268 --> 00:52:04,665
Well maybe it's because
she's a good girl.

902
00:52:06,592 --> 00:52:09,450
All I mean is that it's not so bad,
but it's Vicki Lester they'll go to see.

903
00:52:09,475 --> 00:52:12,516
That Vicki, darling, I think she's the
most precious little thing I've ever seen.

904
00:52:12,595 --> 00:52:13,738
Mm-hmm!

905
00:52:14,218 --> 00:52:15,482
She's a knock out Libby.

906
00:52:15,507 --> 00:52:17,702
You might mention that
when you write your review.

907
00:52:17,703 --> 00:52:19,236
That Lester kid's
a gold mine.

908
00:52:19,268 --> 00:52:20,631
Didn't you
like Norman Maine?

909
00:52:20,996 --> 00:52:22,036
Was he in it?

910
00:52:24,203 --> 00:52:26,401
Libby?
I'm afraid we have another hit.

911
00:52:26,450 --> 00:52:27,631
It's in the bag.

912
00:52:27,863 --> 00:52:30,400
Neatly tied up
with beautiful pink ribbons.

913
00:52:30,451 --> 00:52:31,855
Hey, where are
Norman and Vicki?

914
00:52:31,885 --> 00:52:33,321
I don't know,
I thought you had them.

915
00:52:33,346 --> 00:52:35,871
I wish they'd come,
were having a party at the Trocadero.

916
00:52:38,888 --> 00:52:40,609
Isn't it thrilling
running away from people?

917
00:52:40,654 --> 00:52:42,338
Norman, it's so exciting!
So–

918
00:52:42,363 --> 00:52:43,447
So new.

919
00:52:43,716 --> 00:52:45,211
A star is born.

920
00:52:45,771 --> 00:52:47,158
Come on, run!

921
00:52:56,197 --> 00:52:57,366
It's wonderful,
isn't it?

922
00:52:57,896 --> 00:52:59,327
A crazy quilt.

923
00:53:00,007 --> 00:53:04,031
Well...
it's a carpet spread for you.

924
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:08,056
It's all yours from now on,
you know.

925
00:53:09,156 --> 00:53:11,298
Come Esther,
you're a success.

926
00:53:12,636 --> 00:53:14,853
You can have
everything in the world you want.

927
00:53:16,697 --> 00:53:18,253
I hope it'll
make you happy.

928
00:53:19,291 --> 00:53:20,738
Hasn't it you?

929
00:53:23,471 --> 00:53:25,558
But then there
was one thing I never had.

930
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:27,770
Lots of times I...

931
00:53:27,917 --> 00:53:30,751
told myself I'd found it,
but I always knew I was lying.

932
00:53:33,373 --> 00:53:35,785
Still I... I never
stopped looking for it.

933
00:53:36,616 --> 00:53:38,096
Maybe it'll come.

934
00:53:39,038 --> 00:53:40,908
Well, I think
it has come, Esther.

935
00:53:42,267 --> 00:53:44,158
I only wish
it weren't too late.

936
00:53:45,114 --> 00:53:46,976
Oh, but it's not too late.

937
00:53:47,613 --> 00:53:51,604
Oh, you can't throw away your life
the way I've thrown away mine...

938
00:53:52,336 --> 00:53:55,184
...and have anything left
that's good enough... no.

939
00:53:55,532 --> 00:53:56,559
You can.

940
00:53:57,867 --> 00:53:59,032
Norman, you can.

941
00:54:01,136 --> 00:54:03,088
You mustn't tell me that, Esther.

942
00:54:04,843 --> 00:54:07,576
I'm so afraid
that I'll believe it.

943
00:54:26,491 --> 00:54:28,380
Come on Garcia,
shoot your right!

944
00:54:29,110 --> 00:54:30,591
Swell, isn't it?
- Lovely.

945
00:54:30,624 --> 00:54:31,922
Watch Garcia again.

946
00:54:32,424 --> 00:54:34,929
Can't you hear me Garcia?
Shoot your right!

947
00:54:39,824 --> 00:54:42,908
He's down! Garcia got him!
Garcia's got him!

948
00:54:42,973 --> 00:54:43,994
He did, didn't he?

949
00:54:44,019 --> 00:54:45,545
Yeah, but he'll be up, though.

950
00:54:45,598 --> 00:54:46,866
You like it?
- Yeah, I do.

951
00:54:46,891 --> 00:54:48,567
- You like me?
- Sure I do.

952
00:54:49,715 --> 00:54:51,885
Oo... that reminds me.
Will you marry me?

953
00:54:51,938 --> 00:54:53,226
No thank you.
- You wh–

954
00:54:53,897 --> 00:54:55,983
Come on Garcia, finish him!
Why won't you marry me?

955
00:54:56,062 --> 00:54:57,063
Because
you're not dependable,..

956
00:54:57,088 --> 00:54:58,066
Hey, shoot your right!

957
00:54:58,099 --> 00:55:00,246
- ...you throw away your money...
- Break him off in there, break him up!

958
00:55:00,271 --> 00:55:01,633
...and you drink so much.

959
00:55:03,196 --> 00:55:05,410
Well, suppose I quit drinking?
- Yes.

960
00:55:05,435 --> 00:55:07,928
Come on, Garcia,
shoot your right in there, the right!!

961
00:55:07,989 --> 00:55:09,664
Suppose I save my money?
- Yes.

962
00:55:09,755 --> 00:55:11,452
There he goes!
Let him have it!!

963
00:55:11,482 --> 00:55:13,666
Suppose I became
absolutely dependable on all occasions?

964
00:55:13,691 --> 00:55:14,710
Yes.

965
00:55:17,609 --> 00:55:19,106
Yay, yeah!

966
00:55:22,722 --> 00:55:26,281
Yay, Garcia!
He got him! He got him!

967
00:55:26,433 --> 00:55:27,887
He certainly did.

968
00:55:36,964 --> 00:55:38,743
Gee, that was a beautiful fight!

969
00:55:39,915 --> 00:55:41,083
- Norman?
- What dear?

970
00:55:41,116 --> 00:55:43,477
Would you do all that for me
if I said I'd marry you?

971
00:55:43,552 --> 00:55:46,928
Well, certainly not!
I was just supposing.

972
00:55:51,626 --> 00:55:53,250
We're going to be married.

973
00:55:55,128 --> 00:55:56,697
Guess I didn't read
that line right.

974
00:55:56,728 --> 00:55:58,082
I'll try it again.

975
00:55:58,534 --> 00:56:00,725
We are going to be married.

976
00:56:00,777 --> 00:56:02,948
- Both of us.
- To each other.

977
00:56:03,158 --> 00:56:04,410
What do you think of that?

978
00:56:04,472 --> 00:56:05,883
Well when? Where?

979
00:56:06,015 --> 00:56:07,777
Well, we ah, thought
that we'd elope,

980
00:56:07,802 --> 00:56:09,498
in the
conventional manner.

981
00:56:12,005 --> 00:56:13,270
What's the matter?

982
00:56:13,471 --> 00:56:15,609
He's trying to decide whether
it's good for the studio.

983
00:56:15,742 --> 00:56:18,029
- Is it?
- It is.

984
00:56:18,371 --> 00:56:19,708
And bless you
my children.

985
00:56:19,747 --> 00:56:20,683
When's it
going to happen?

986
00:56:20,724 --> 00:56:22,453
Oh we thought we'd
just sneak out some time.

987
00:56:22,507 --> 00:56:24,105
We're not telling anyone
but you.

988
00:56:24,417 --> 00:56:25,647
Listen to this!

989
00:56:25,767 --> 00:56:27,451
The screen's ideal romance

990
00:56:27,530 --> 00:56:29,359
blossomed into
breathtaking reality

991
00:56:29,384 --> 00:56:31,165
today when Vicki Lester
and Norman Maine,

992
00:56:31,190 --> 00:56:32,824
America's dream lovers,

993
00:56:33,213 --> 00:56:36,192
slipped quietly through
the portals of holy matrimony.

994
00:56:36,370 --> 00:56:37,630
How does it sound?

995
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:40,400
- Horrible.
- But you see we're going to elope.

996
00:56:40,455 --> 00:56:42,495
Sure you are!
It will be the biggest elopement

997
00:56:42,527 --> 00:56:43,784
this town ever saw.

998
00:56:43,946 --> 00:56:45,186
We'll get a tie-up
with the army

999
00:56:45,248 --> 00:56:47,224
and have you escorted
all the way down to Yuma,

1000
00:56:47,249 --> 00:56:49,609
by twenty of their
new bombing planes.

1001
00:56:49,956 --> 00:56:51,312
Is he going with us?

1002
00:56:52,471 --> 00:56:54,635
Don't you think we can
work this thing out better alone?

1003
00:56:54,721 --> 00:56:57,468
No sense in bothering the happy couple
with all the details.

1004
00:56:57,715 --> 00:57:00,369
I'll see to it that you get
a carbon copy of the whole layout.

1005
00:57:00,394 --> 00:57:01,558
I can hardly wait.

1006
00:57:01,963 --> 00:57:04,931
I'm sorry we didn't realize
that we were in the way.

1007
00:57:05,216 --> 00:57:06,735
While you're settling
the details,

1008
00:57:06,766 --> 00:57:09,181
you don't mind if I take this woman out
and buy her a ring, do you?

1009
00:57:09,206 --> 00:57:11,587
Sure, go ahead,
we want everything legal.

1010
00:57:13,218 --> 00:57:15,089
That's a charming match.

1011
00:57:15,317 --> 00:57:16,976
A nice girl like Vicki

1012
00:57:17,215 --> 00:57:19,055
and public nuisance
number one.

1013
00:57:19,079 --> 00:57:20,877
Now wait a minute Libby,
Norman's all right.

1014
00:57:20,933 --> 00:57:23,342
And if you'll pardon my pointing,
Vickie's business is her own.

1015
00:57:23,367 --> 00:57:24,675
It doesn't require
any comments.

1016
00:57:24,738 --> 00:57:26,183
I wasn't making any comments.

1017
00:57:26,263 --> 00:57:27,753
I just said it
was a rotten shame.

1018
00:57:27,832 --> 00:57:28,964
So go ahead
and plan the elopement.

1019
00:57:29,027 --> 00:57:30,783
Oh that elopement stuff is out.

1020
00:57:30,938 --> 00:57:32,822
You can't get
any scope in that.

1021
00:57:33,189 --> 00:57:34,657
We are going
to have a wedding.

1022
00:57:35,465 --> 00:57:36,534
Where will we have it?

1023
00:57:36,559 --> 00:57:38,257
The customary place I believe,
is a church.

1024
00:57:38,282 --> 00:57:40,170
Nah.
It's been done.

1025
00:57:40,426 --> 00:57:42,576
This is gotta
be something big.

1026
00:57:43,829 --> 00:57:46,165
The beach.
I can visualize it.

1027
00:57:46,301 --> 00:57:48,164
The bridesmaids in bathing suits.

1028
00:57:48,503 --> 00:57:51,305
Twenty thousand
Santa Monica school children,

1029
00:57:51,579 --> 00:57:53,459
spelling out the word love.

1030
00:57:56,498 --> 00:57:58,637
It's a novelty,
but is it big enough?

1031
00:57:59,431 --> 00:58:00,659
Why not
the City Hall?

1032
00:58:01,079 --> 00:58:04,303
A police escort, have every
motorcycle cop in town,

1033
00:58:04,646 --> 00:58:07,398
sirens screaming,
confetti pouring out of buildings,

1034
00:58:07,499 --> 00:58:09,343
like the Lindbergh reception
in New York,

1035
00:58:09,460 --> 00:58:11,262
only on a big scale.

1036
00:58:13,921 --> 00:58:16,079
What's the matter... isn't it big enough?

1037
00:58:17,438 --> 00:58:19,360
And now if any man can
show just cause

1038
00:58:19,376 --> 00:58:21,813
why these two may not
be lawfully joined together,

1039
00:58:21,922 --> 00:58:25,103
let him now speak,
or else hereafter, forever hold his peace.

1040
00:58:25,661 --> 00:58:27,699
Do you
Alfred Hinkel,

1041
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:30,059
take this woman
as your lawful wedded wife?

1042
00:58:30,185 --> 00:58:32,923
Will you love, comfort, honor
and keep her in sickness and health,

1043
00:58:33,033 --> 00:58:35,349
as long as you both shall live?
- I will.

1044
00:58:35,374 --> 00:58:36,987
Do you,
I beg your pardon.

1045
00:58:37,127 --> 00:58:39,267
Do you, eh,
Esther Blodget take this man

1046
00:58:39,292 --> 00:58:40,635
as you your
lawful wedded husband?

1047
00:58:40,753 --> 00:58:43,556
Will you obey, serve, love, honor
and keep him in sickness and health,

1048
00:58:43,964 --> 00:58:45,687
as long as
you both shall live?

1049
00:58:46,100 --> 00:58:47,214
I will.

1050
00:58:47,614 --> 00:58:51,421
Place the ring on her finger - All right.
and hurry please. - All right.

1051
00:58:54,429 --> 00:58:56,636
Now by virtues of the power
invested in me

1052
00:58:56,661 --> 00:59:00,081
as Justice of the Peace of
San Bardo Township, County of Los Angeles,

1053
00:59:00,229 --> 00:59:02,976
I pronounce you
man and wife.

1054
00:59:08,531 --> 00:59:09,757
Quiet!

1055
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:17,361
And now I must exercise my
prerogative of office.

1056
00:59:19,206 --> 00:59:21,481
I hope you'll be
very happy Mrs. Hinkel.

1057
00:59:21,567 --> 00:59:22,618
Thank you.

1058
00:59:23,165 --> 00:59:25,541
- Thank you, sir, thank you very much.
- Oh, Danny...

1059
00:59:25,789 --> 00:59:27,828
Now if you'll
please sign the license.

1060
00:59:28,095 --> 00:59:29,338
Oh, oh yeah.

1061
00:59:29,690 --> 00:59:30,940
You know uh, Mrs. Hinkel,

1062
00:59:30,979 --> 00:59:34,305
I can't help but believe,
I've seen you somewhere before.

1063
00:59:34,430 --> 00:59:35,492
Oh really?

1064
00:59:35,782 --> 00:59:39,800
Well, uh, I believe this is the first time
I've ever been in San Bardo.

1065
00:59:39,956 --> 00:59:41,713
You know your face is familiar too.
- Really?

1066
00:59:41,725 --> 00:59:43,504
- Here you are, sir.
- Thank you very much.

1067
00:59:43,534 --> 00:59:45,145
- Here's your receipt.
- Thank you.

1068
00:59:45,239 --> 00:59:47,039
- Good-goodbye. - Goodbye.

1069
00:59:47,092 --> 00:59:48,969
- Goodbye! - See you again.
- Yes, goodbye.

1070
00:59:48,994 --> 00:59:51,110
No I got something
I'll just see to here.

1071
00:59:52,124 --> 00:59:54,438
- Yeah, I think we got by with it.
- But it was close,

1072
00:59:54,463 --> 00:59:56,762
that J.P. was just beginning
to remember where he'd seen us.

1073
00:59:56,787 --> 00:59:58,373
But anyway,
we got away from Libby.

1074
01:00:01,274 --> 01:00:02,404
Hello, gents!

1075
01:00:03,088 --> 01:00:07,076
If you will be kind enough
to glance between my shoulder blades,

1076
01:00:07,295 --> 01:00:08,944
Mr. and Mrs. Hinkel,

1077
01:00:09,079 --> 01:00:10,651
you will find there
a knife,

1078
01:00:10,769 --> 01:00:11,962
buried to the hilt.

1079
01:00:12,078 --> 01:00:13,747
On the handle are
your initials.

1080
01:00:13,842 --> 01:00:15,248
I'd rather
not see you Libby!

1081
01:00:15,350 --> 01:00:16,812
Hold him,
hold him Danny!

1082
01:00:26,972 --> 01:00:30,043
There go a couple of rats
I raised from mice.

1083
01:00:30,131 --> 01:00:32,128
Well, they've got a right
to get married haven't they?

1084
01:00:32,215 --> 01:00:34,433
They haven't got any right to
double-cross the public.

1085
01:00:34,620 --> 01:00:35,979
And I haven't done it yet!

1086
01:00:36,526 --> 01:00:37,599
Hey!

1087
01:00:38,950 --> 01:00:40,736
The people versus
Porky Washington,

1088
01:00:40,829 --> 01:00:42,600
who is charged with
violating section 600—

1089
01:00:42,625 --> 01:00:44,485
Young man,
you're in contempt of court!

1090
01:00:44,568 --> 01:00:45,571
Operator?

1091
01:00:45,634 --> 01:00:47,106
Get me the
Los Angeles Tribune.

1092
01:00:47,145 --> 01:00:48,925
I have a good mind
to put you under arrest!

1093
01:00:49,050 --> 01:00:50,475
Wait 'till I make this call.

1094
01:00:50,837 --> 01:00:51,850
You wait too.

1095
01:00:52,626 --> 01:00:54,901
Tribune?
Give me the city desk.

1096
01:00:55,308 --> 01:00:57,161
Johnny?
This is Matt Libby.

1097
01:00:57,263 --> 01:00:58,613
I got a flash
for ya.

1098
01:00:58,697 --> 01:01:00,251
Norman Maine
and Vicki Lester

1099
01:01:00,276 --> 01:01:02,368
were married at
2:30 this afternoon.

1100
01:01:02,380 --> 01:01:03,735
Vicki Lester?!

1101
01:01:03,892 --> 01:01:05,146
Court recessed!

1102
01:01:52,256 --> 01:01:54,239
♪ So give me a horse,
a great big horse ♪

1103
01:01:54,272 --> 01:01:56,135
♪ A great big buckeroo and ♪

1104
01:01:56,160 --> 01:02:00,640
♪ Let me wahoo,
wahoo, wahoo! ♪

1105
01:02:05,701 --> 01:02:07,325
Wahoo!

1106
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:30,754
Wahoo.

1107
01:02:31,887 --> 01:02:33,199
Hey wahoo...

1108
01:02:33,898 --> 01:02:36,167
I don't
want to sound immodest,

1109
01:02:36,213 --> 01:02:38,029
but I think
I've stripped a gear.

1110
01:02:38,122 --> 01:02:40,098
Well sit down won't you and
let's get acquainted.

1111
01:02:40,129 --> 01:02:42,538
We'll probably be seeing
quite a bit of each other from now on.

1112
01:02:42,610 --> 01:02:43,610
Uh-huh.

1113
01:02:43,732 --> 01:02:46,776
We might just as well
break the ice now as later.

1114
01:02:52,652 --> 01:02:54,806
Now we're old friends.

1115
01:02:55,586 --> 01:02:58,355
Say, have I... have I got time for
a shower before dinner?

1116
01:02:58,756 --> 01:03:00,679
Plenty,
if you can find the shower.

1117
01:03:01,066 --> 01:03:02,602
I never can remember
where that thing is,

1118
01:03:02,627 --> 01:03:04,911
does it, uh,
pull out or slide under?

1119
01:03:04,989 --> 01:03:06,187
Here, I think
I can find it.

1120
01:03:06,242 --> 01:03:08,171
Nope, that's the linen closet.

1121
01:03:08,639 --> 01:03:09,767
Here it is.

1122
01:03:09,987 --> 01:03:11,200
Nice work.

1123
01:03:11,386 --> 01:03:13,569
Oh, half-the-time
those things are just luck.

1124
01:03:13,725 --> 01:03:16,197
I'll see if I can
disinfect this steak.

1125
01:03:27,296 --> 01:03:29,662
Hey Esther.
Uh, there's no soap.

1126
01:03:30,143 --> 01:03:31,491
Here.

1127
01:03:31,711 --> 01:03:32,846
Thank you.

1128
01:03:34,076 --> 01:03:36,105
Oh and Esther...
- Yes, dear?

1129
01:03:36,130 --> 01:03:37,818
I'll--I'll need
a washcloth, please.

1130
01:03:39,107 --> 01:03:40,712
How are you
fixed for cigarettes?

1131
01:03:41,209 --> 01:03:43,171
You know I
never smoke underwater.

1132
01:03:47,552 --> 01:03:50,047
Ah, what, what do I do to
make this thing work?

1133
01:03:50,421 --> 01:03:53,128
Pull that gadget at the top
and pray for rain.

1134
01:03:55,099 --> 01:03:56,199
Well, I...

1135
01:03:56,353 --> 01:03:58,931
I can't reach it,
I can-can't get my hands up!

1136
01:03:59,795 --> 01:04:02,654
If you've gone in there with
your arms down, you'll never get your bath,

1137
01:04:02,732 --> 01:04:04,345
unless you're a contortionist.

1138
01:04:04,895 --> 01:04:08,221
Yeah well, I-I'm not a contortionist...
and don't throw that up to me now.

1139
01:04:08,246 --> 01:04:09,852
You-you knew it
when you married me.

1140
01:04:10,957 --> 01:04:12,986
Can you close
this door please?

1141
01:04:18,279 --> 01:04:19,385
Thank you!

1142
01:04:23,234 --> 01:04:25,631
Ooo... oh!
Ow!

1143
01:04:31,176 --> 01:04:33,602
Norman!
Norman, here comes a car.

1144
01:04:33,636 --> 01:04:34,640
You gotta—

1145
01:04:34,873 --> 01:04:36,286
Huh?
- Here, quick!

1146
01:04:36,317 --> 01:04:37,680
Quick what?
- Quick go out

1147
01:04:37,691 --> 01:04:39,340
and stop them
and ask for help.

1148
01:04:39,372 --> 01:04:41,072
Oh, I'll-I'll catch cold!

1149
01:04:41,149 --> 01:04:42,508
Oh, you'll get warm again.

1150
01:04:42,558 --> 01:04:44,476
Yeah... oh shoot,
they'll recognize me!

1151
01:04:44,501 --> 01:04:45,701
Not if you
keep your face down!

1152
01:04:45,728 --> 01:04:47,568
Go on, there may not be
another car for weeks!

1153
01:04:47,638 --> 01:04:48,638
All right.

1154
01:04:52,205 --> 01:04:53,716
- Er... uh...
- Howdy partner!

1155
01:04:53,741 --> 01:04:55,334
- Howdy... uh...
- Stuck?

1156
01:04:55,533 --> 01:04:56,871
Yeah,
how'd you guess it?

1157
01:04:56,980 --> 01:04:58,432
Uh, can you get us
some help?

1158
01:04:58,697 --> 01:04:59,928
Well, I reckon not.

1159
01:04:59,954 --> 01:05:01,540
You know,
it's a long way to town,

1160
01:05:01,565 --> 01:05:02,622
and we're pretty busy
down at the place.

1161
01:05:02,647 --> 01:05:05,127
Well, I got to get out of here,
I-I've got my wife with me and–

1162
01:05:05,611 --> 01:05:07,427
- Doesn't she like the country?
- No.

1163
01:05:07,508 --> 01:05:09,016
No, and we're short of food.

1164
01:05:09,064 --> 01:05:10,643
Well, there's a lot of game
in them woods.

1165
01:05:10,715 --> 01:05:12,411
Yeah, well
my wife can't shoot.

1166
01:05:12,652 --> 01:05:13,934
Well you're
sure up against it.

1167
01:05:13,986 --> 01:05:15,323
Sorry I can't
do anything for ya.

1168
01:05:15,348 --> 01:05:17,411
Now wait, listen,
I'll be frank with ya.

1169
01:05:17,575 --> 01:05:18,687
I'm Norman Maine.

1170
01:05:18,839 --> 01:05:19,856
Who?

1171
01:05:19,923 --> 01:05:20,963
Norman Maine!

1172
01:05:21,075 --> 01:05:22,459
Well, my name
is Judd Baker.

1173
01:05:22,559 --> 01:05:23,533
Glad to
have met ya.

1174
01:05:23,558 --> 01:05:24,604
Well, so long.

1175
01:05:25,159 --> 01:05:27,420
Hey wait a... wait a minute.
Listen... you don't–

1176
01:05:28,970 --> 01:05:31,614
So you're
Norman Maine.

1177
01:05:49,450 --> 01:05:51,436
I got my prestige
to look out for.

1178
01:05:51,734 --> 01:05:54,220
I'm supposed to be
the best publicity man in the racket.

1179
01:05:54,384 --> 01:05:56,404
And they laugh themselves sick
when I even try

1180
01:05:56,429 --> 01:05:58,134
to get a
decent mention of Maine.

1181
01:05:58,274 --> 01:05:59,838
Yes, I know how
sensitive you are Libby

1182
01:05:59,862 --> 01:06:01,358
and I don't like
to see your feelings hurt.

1183
01:06:01,382 --> 01:06:02,394
Thanks boss.

1184
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:05,261
Now Vicki,
there's a dish for free space,

1185
01:06:05,417 --> 01:06:07,519
but if Maine
swam across the Pacific

1186
01:06:07,544 --> 01:06:09,374
the papers
would keep it a secret.

1187
01:06:09,750 --> 01:06:10,771
Well...

1188
01:06:11,628 --> 01:06:13,317
the exhibitors don't like him,

1189
01:06:13,342 --> 01:06:14,704
the critics
don't like him,

1190
01:06:14,729 --> 01:06:16,026
the public don't like him,

1191
01:06:16,057 --> 01:06:17,624
and I don't like him.

1192
01:06:18,193 --> 01:06:19,334
Who likes him?

1193
01:06:27,461 --> 01:06:30,401
Oh but darling,
this is almost too much of a surprise.

1194
01:06:30,838 --> 01:06:32,678
And there I was in my
touching innocence,

1195
01:06:32,703 --> 01:06:34,159
thinking we were going to
live in the beach house.

1196
01:06:34,199 --> 01:06:36,028
Oh, we'll still
keep the place at Malibu.

1197
01:06:36,272 --> 01:06:39,439
But this is special, this is our castle.
It used to be in the air, you know.

1198
01:06:39,736 --> 01:06:41,226
We will never use
any ugly words like,

1199
01:06:41,251 --> 01:06:43,303
contracts and pictures
and careers.

1200
01:06:43,958 --> 01:06:45,477
When we come in
those gates,

1201
01:06:45,903 --> 01:06:47,599
we'll check
the studio outside.

1202
01:06:48,082 --> 01:06:50,107
Come on, I've got another
little surprise for you.

1203
01:07:07,518 --> 01:07:09,377
Oh Norman, it's lovely.

1204
01:07:10,025 --> 01:07:11,602
So are you, lovely.

1205
01:07:12,894 --> 01:07:14,750
The whole world's lovely.

1206
01:07:17,623 --> 01:07:19,147
Hey! Hold it!

1207
01:07:24,467 --> 01:07:25,770
That's it.

1208
01:07:26,627 --> 01:07:29,369
Caption:
Their honeymoon never ends.

1209
01:07:29,963 --> 01:07:31,756
All right, let's get some pictures.

1210
01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:35,446
Now, if the bride will sit here
and the groom will stand behind her,

1211
01:07:35,551 --> 01:07:37,516
you'll have something unique.

1212
01:07:40,574 --> 01:07:42,151
Now, lets go
after something different

1213
01:07:42,364 --> 01:07:44,619
You sit down and she'll stand up.

1214
01:07:45,348 --> 01:07:48,440
- Pretty radical isn't it?
- Yeah, but in a nice way. -Yeah.

1215
01:07:49,848 --> 01:07:51,624
Okay Otto, fire!

1216
01:07:52,766 --> 01:07:55,850
Caption:
Their honeymoon begins anew.

1217
01:07:56,445 --> 01:07:58,432
Ah, the producer.

1218
01:07:59,296 --> 01:08:01,566
Caption:
Their honeymoon ceases abruptly.

1219
01:08:01,596 --> 01:08:03,632
Hello Oliver, glad to see ya!
- Oh I'm glad your back.

1220
01:08:03,657 --> 01:08:05,444
- Thank you.
- Vicki, how well you're lookng.

1221
01:08:05,524 --> 01:08:06,826
Hello Oliver.

1222
01:08:07,031 --> 01:08:08,789
- Am I interrupting?
- Yes, thank you.

1223
01:08:08,863 --> 01:08:10,025
Just want a
couple more pictures.

1224
01:08:10,067 --> 01:08:11,207
That's enough
of both of them.

1225
01:08:11,238 --> 01:08:13,600
What they're asking for
are exclusives of Miss Lester.

1226
01:08:13,726 --> 01:08:14,726
Alone!

1227
01:08:14,857 --> 01:08:15,878
Oh, I see.

1228
01:08:16,268 --> 01:08:18,207
Well, come on Oliver,
let's you and me get exclusive.

1229
01:08:18,243 --> 01:08:19,508
See you later Vicki.

1230
01:08:19,900 --> 01:08:23,069
Well, don't worry, Otto,
my camera smashing days are over.

1231
01:08:23,140 --> 01:08:25,607
Yeah...
danger only days are over.

1232
01:08:25,829 --> 01:08:27,512
Oh, hold that
Miss Lester.

1233
01:08:28,357 --> 01:08:30,311
Gorgeous!

1234
01:08:30,726 --> 01:08:31,874
Oliver?

1235
01:08:32,148 --> 01:08:33,602
How's the
dividend situation?

1236
01:08:33,685 --> 01:08:35,327
Very pleasant.
I think we show two million

1237
01:08:35,352 --> 01:08:36,969
on our next quarter.

1238
01:08:37,357 --> 01:08:39,549
Smart move of mine to
sell my stock, eh?

1239
01:08:40,033 --> 01:08:41,764
Oh well, when you
need money, you need it.

1240
01:08:41,990 --> 01:08:43,734
Some people save up for
just such an event.

1241
01:08:43,759 --> 01:08:45,457
There's bound to be
a rainy day occasionally.

1242
01:08:45,482 --> 01:08:47,142
Yeah, well
as a citizen of California,

1243
01:08:47,174 --> 01:08:48,668
I've always refused
to admit that.

1244
01:08:48,734 --> 01:08:50,450
Yes, I know,
but still it does rain.

1245
01:08:50,910 --> 01:08:53,035
Well anyway, you can thank me
for some of those dividends of yours.

1246
01:08:53,074 --> 01:08:54,292
Mmh-hmm.

1247
01:08:55,149 --> 01:08:57,601
Well, can't you?
- Well, sure, sure.

1248
01:08:58,513 --> 01:09:00,343
That was
a little too quick, Oliver.

1249
01:09:01,157 --> 01:09:03,461
Well, The Enchanted Hour was
a smash hit wasn't it?

1250
01:09:03,505 --> 01:09:05,221
Well, it made Vicki
a star overnight.

1251
01:09:05,246 --> 01:09:06,447
Yes, it should have.

1252
01:09:06,915 --> 01:09:08,016
How about me?

1253
01:09:08,078 --> 01:09:10,359
Well, lets talk about business
at the office, Norman.

1254
01:09:10,927 --> 01:09:12,863
Beautiful pool you have here.
Beautiful!

1255
01:09:12,888 --> 01:09:15,050
Oh, no,
lets talk about it here.

1256
01:09:15,583 --> 01:09:16,630
Didn't they like me?

1257
01:09:16,693 --> 01:09:18,434
Well, maybe the part
wasn't just right.

1258
01:09:18,474 --> 01:09:20,408
Well, it was the
best part of the year.

1259
01:09:21,041 --> 01:09:22,528
Look, Oliver...

1260
01:09:23,517 --> 01:09:24,992
do you think I'm slipping?

1261
01:09:25,585 --> 01:09:26,631
Can you take it?

1262
01:09:26,744 --> 01:09:27,749
Yeah, go ahead.

1263
01:09:27,983 --> 01:09:29,226
The tense is wrong.

1264
01:09:29,437 --> 01:09:31,837
You're not slipping,
you've slipped.

1265
01:09:33,819 --> 01:09:34,819
Well, my...

1266
01:09:35,557 --> 01:09:36,856
...my fan mail
is still big.

1267
01:09:36,940 --> 01:09:39,911
Norman, Norman, fans will write
to anybody for a photograph.

1268
01:09:40,074 --> 01:09:41,675
It only costs
3 cents for a stamp,

1269
01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:43,842
and that makes photographs
cheaper than wallpaper.

1270
01:09:44,030 --> 01:09:46,023
But every 25 cents they pay
for a theater ticket,

1271
01:09:46,069 --> 01:09:47,514
buys them the right
to be a critic.

1272
01:09:47,793 --> 01:09:51,062
And your last few performances, Norman,
have not pleased your critics.

1273
01:09:55,432 --> 01:09:57,318
You remember,
I told you I'd uh...

1274
01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:00,595
be ready for the curtains
when the time came?

1275
01:10:02,625 --> 01:10:03,846
Well, here it is.

1276
01:10:06,125 --> 01:10:08,879
Let's call off the contract,
no hard feelings.

1277
01:10:09,477 --> 01:10:11,382
We're not quitting.
Either of us.

1278
01:10:11,565 --> 01:10:13,104
There is no explaining
these things,

1279
01:10:13,262 --> 01:10:14,844
we've all seen
how the public turns.

1280
01:10:14,938 --> 01:10:16,498
Maybe we
can turn them back.

1281
01:10:16,677 --> 01:10:18,564
I've got a swell script
lined-up for you.

1282
01:10:19,768 --> 01:10:21,559
About...
about Esther?

1283
01:10:21,858 --> 01:10:22,896
Uh...

1284
01:10:23,276 --> 01:10:25,256
do you think that
I'm going to get in her way?

1285
01:10:25,444 --> 01:10:26,970
Well, as a matter of fact,
as it happens,

1286
01:10:26,986 --> 01:10:28,611
there's no part
in this story for her.

1287
01:10:28,826 --> 01:10:31,399
I'd more or less planned
to star her in a picture of her own.

1288
01:10:31,693 --> 01:10:34,160
With uh... that young Pemberton
opposite her.

1289
01:10:34,387 --> 01:10:36,184
He's coming along nicely.

1290
01:10:38,194 --> 01:10:40,077
Good for
young Pemberton.

1291
01:10:42,546 --> 01:10:45,303
All right Oliver...
we'll make a try at it.

1292
01:10:45,984 --> 01:10:48,117
Lets hope
it's not... too late.

1293
01:11:12,991 --> 01:11:15,616
No argument...
I'll buy those.

1294
01:11:17,273 --> 01:11:18,273
Ha!

1295
01:11:18,350 --> 01:11:20,845
The screen's most finished actor

1296
01:11:20,892 --> 01:11:24,105
I'll say he's finished.
He keeps 'em away in droves.

1297
01:12:12,179 --> 01:12:13,260
Hello.

1298
01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:17,275
No. No Miss Lester
isn't home as yet.

1299
01:12:19,312 --> 01:12:21,307
No, I'm not the butler.

1300
01:12:21,993 --> 01:12:24,970
But I can take a message
just as well as he can, honest.

1301
01:12:25,174 --> 01:12:28,268
Oh, is that you Norman?
Swell!

1302
01:12:28,338 --> 01:12:30,999
Listen Norman,
this is Artie Carver.

1303
01:12:31,165 --> 01:12:34,049
How are you kid?
Swell.

1304
01:12:34,383 --> 01:12:36,874
Say, I hear you're through
with Oliver Niles.

1305
01:12:37,248 --> 01:12:38,268
Is that on the level?

1306
01:12:38,309 --> 01:12:41,657
Ah, please Artie,
I'm not news anymore. Forget it.

1307
01:12:41,870 --> 01:12:44,851
Say, what kind of a settlement did
you make on your contract?

1308
01:12:45,151 --> 01:12:47,472
Give me a figure,
so I can do a story on it.

1309
01:12:47,535 --> 01:12:50,622
There was no money involved.
We just called it quits.

1310
01:12:50,700 --> 01:12:53,652
Okay, Okay...
I'll fill in my own figure.

1311
01:12:53,742 --> 01:12:55,107
Say by the way...

1312
01:12:55,209 --> 01:12:57,078
I've been trying to
get an interview with Vicki

1313
01:12:57,101 --> 01:12:59,414
for two weeks,
but she's always busy.

1314
01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:03,693
How about you giving an old pal a break
by speaking to her for me?

1315
01:13:04,248 --> 01:13:05,459
Sure I'll ask her.

1316
01:13:05,704 --> 01:13:09,228
Swell. So long.

1317
01:13:20,862 --> 01:13:22,835
I didn't mean to be late darling,
but K.C. wanted me–

1318
01:13:22,837 --> 01:13:25,353
It's all right.
You're here now.

1319
01:13:26,577 --> 01:13:27,840
What's new today?

1320
01:13:27,943 --> 01:13:30,067
Nothing.
I haven't been out of the house.

1321
01:13:31,458 --> 01:13:32,804
Lets go
somewhere tonight.

1322
01:13:32,829 --> 01:13:35,324
Oh no.
No, you're tired, we'll stay in.

1323
01:13:35,535 --> 01:13:37,074
I'm not tired, really.

1324
01:13:38,155 --> 01:13:39,343
Oh, yes you are.

1325
01:13:39,445 --> 01:13:40,942
You've got a hard day
ahead of you.

1326
01:13:41,207 --> 01:13:43,945
Anyway, I see so little of you,
I'd like to have you to myself.

1327
01:13:44,324 --> 01:13:46,355
Oh, but it's the servants' night out,
we haven't any dinner—

1328
01:13:46,411 --> 01:13:47,411
Yes we have.

1329
01:13:47,506 --> 01:13:50,544
I fixed a little snack
with my own, lily white hands.

1330
01:13:51,247 --> 01:13:52,254
I uh...

1331
01:13:52,904 --> 01:13:56,397
...I'm learning to cook in my spare time.
- Then I think I'll marry you.

1332
01:13:57,875 --> 01:13:59,001
Oh I get it,

1333
01:13:59,853 --> 01:14:01,951
You want to make
an honest cook of me, huh?

1334
01:14:03,252 --> 01:14:05,523
Comes in on wheels
in this joint.

1335
01:14:25,366 --> 01:14:26,561
Here you are.

1336
01:14:26,803 --> 01:14:27,803
How's it look?

1337
01:14:27,956 --> 01:14:29,832
Mmm...
wonderful!

1338
01:14:30,129 --> 01:14:32,554
U-huh, that's what I thought.

1339
01:14:34,216 --> 01:14:37,240
Now there,
don't be formal just pitch in.

1340
01:14:40,788 --> 01:14:42,244
Here you are.

1341
01:14:52,059 --> 01:14:54,344
I'm afraid my mouth's
not quite big enough.

1342
01:14:55,587 --> 01:14:59,165
I'll uh, I'll measure it next time
and make them to size.

1343
01:14:59,891 --> 01:15:01,805
A little hard to lift, too.

1344
01:15:03,768 --> 01:15:07,593
In fact I think, I'll take
those measurements right now.

1345
01:15:17,656 --> 01:15:19,324
That's what I wait for...

1346
01:15:19,972 --> 01:15:21,167
all day.

1347
01:15:21,444 --> 01:15:24,934
That's why I rush home
without even changing my costume.

1348
01:15:29,634 --> 01:15:32,276
Wait... we're forgetting
that we're hungry.

1349
01:15:32,606 --> 01:15:34,208
Would you like a sandwich?

1350
01:15:34,541 --> 01:15:37,105
Thank you, I still have a
little work on this one.

1351
01:15:48,133 --> 01:15:49,434
Norman will you unhook my dress,

1352
01:15:49,465 --> 01:15:51,831
I can't breathe.
- Mhm.

1353
01:15:53,504 --> 01:15:55,992
You know, all the time I thought
it was the kiss that made you breathless.

1354
01:15:57,728 --> 01:16:00,068
A lot of hooks. - Uh-huh.
Why don't you have a zipper?

1355
01:16:00,302 --> 01:16:01,799
That's a good idea.

1356
01:16:03,257 --> 01:16:05,663
- Feel better?
- Yes.

1357
01:16:15,408 --> 01:16:17,076
Don't look now,
but uh...

1358
01:16:17,534 --> 01:16:21,085
...I think that guy on your left
is in love with you.

1359
01:16:21,563 --> 01:16:23,199
I hope so.

1360
01:16:37,039 --> 01:16:39,343
- It's the door bell.
- Is it?

1361
01:16:39,508 --> 01:16:40,925
Maybe they'll go away.

1362
01:16:41,129 --> 01:16:43,613
Oh they never do
at a time like this, you...

1363
01:16:46,363 --> 01:16:48,940
Just a minute dear.
I'll be right back.

1364
01:16:55,998 --> 01:16:57,529
Does Vicki Lester live here?
- Yes.

1365
01:16:57,554 --> 01:16:58,703
I got a package for her.

1366
01:16:58,859 --> 01:17:00,782
- I'll sign for it.
- And who are you?

1367
01:17:01,681 --> 01:17:03,666
- I'm her husband
- Oh sure...

1368
01:17:04,249 --> 01:17:06,193
Sign right here,
Mr. Lester.

1369
01:17:28,214 --> 01:17:29,392
It's a package
for you.

1370
01:17:29,771 --> 01:17:31,634
And, by the way,
I forgot to tell you, uh...

1371
01:17:32,974 --> 01:17:35,554
they want you
for a benefit

1372
01:17:35,648 --> 01:17:37,886
at the Shrine Auditorium,
next Wednesday night.

1373
01:17:38,347 --> 01:17:39,943
I told them I'd ask you.

1374
01:17:40,482 --> 01:17:41,939
And, uh...
- Oh, Darling,

1375
01:17:42,018 --> 01:17:43,397
I don't want
to hear about that now.

1376
01:17:43,481 --> 01:17:45,888
Well, you better wait till I finish
before I forget them all.

1377
01:17:46,425 --> 01:17:50,121
Uhm... the Academy Dinner
secretary phoned

1378
01:17:50,535 --> 01:17:52,990
she wants to know if
you want a table reserved for you.

1379
01:17:53,950 --> 01:17:57,702
Uh... Oh yes,
Artie Carver called...

1380
01:17:57,902 --> 01:18:01,115
and asked if I'd use my influence with you
to get him an interview.

1381
01:18:01,409 --> 01:18:03,553
I told him I'd try.

1382
01:18:04,921 --> 01:18:06,899
Uh... that was all I think.

1383
01:18:06,984 --> 01:18:10,568
Oh Norman, let's don't talk
about those things now.

1384
01:18:10,945 --> 01:18:13,449
We're forgetting the
wonderful food you prepared.

1385
01:18:14,034 --> 01:18:17,984
I'm--I'm not very hungry now...
I think I'll uh...

1386
01:18:18,380 --> 01:18:20,535
I'll fix me a little drink,
hmm?

1387
01:18:22,846 --> 01:18:24,959
Oh, but Norman–

1388
01:18:40,742 --> 01:18:42,269
I wish Norman
would come.

1389
01:18:42,422 --> 01:18:43,881
Oh, stop worrying.

1390
01:18:43,954 --> 01:18:46,367
And think how nice that statue
is going to look on your mantle piece.

1391
01:18:46,399 --> 01:18:48,117
Do you suppose anything's
happened to him?

1392
01:18:48,177 --> 01:18:50,283
But of course not,
he's just been held up in traffic.

1393
01:18:50,432 --> 01:18:51,865
You think
about that statuette.

1394
01:18:52,022 --> 01:18:54,934
And now we arrive at the climax
of the annual dinner

1395
01:18:54,957 --> 01:18:57,904
of the Academy of Motion Picture
Arts and Sciences.

1396
01:18:58,255 --> 01:19:01,206
The highest award
within our power to bestow.

1397
01:19:01,714 --> 01:19:05,013
We've already applauded
with our hearts as well as our hands,

1398
01:19:05,185 --> 01:19:07,360
while awards have
been given those gentleman,

1399
01:19:07,448 --> 01:19:10,339
who during the past year
have rendered distinguished service

1400
01:19:10,370 --> 01:19:12,047
to the motion picture industry.

1401
01:19:12,349 --> 01:19:14,301
We now pay honor
to the ladies.

1402
01:19:14,627 --> 01:19:16,355
Or rather to one lady.

1403
01:19:16,580 --> 01:19:18,587
We offer to her
the Academy Award

1404
01:19:18,619 --> 01:19:21,063
for the finest performance
of the past year.

1405
01:19:21,180 --> 01:19:23,384
She has already
had the world's acclaim,

1406
01:19:23,435 --> 01:19:25,590
but this is the tribute of
her fellow workers,

1407
01:19:25,888 --> 01:19:27,832
the men and women
of this industry.

1408
01:19:27,926 --> 01:19:30,402
It is not only my pleasure,
but my privilege,

1409
01:19:30,465 --> 01:19:34,605
to present this award to the actress
who created the unforgettable Anna,

1410
01:19:34,785 --> 01:19:36,931
in Dream without End.

1411
01:19:37,322 --> 01:19:40,921
Miss Vicki Lester.

1412
01:19:59,041 --> 01:20:03,011
What more can we say Miss Lester?
This says it all for us.

1413
01:20:19,381 --> 01:20:21,496
Ladies and gentlemen...

1414
01:20:21,908 --> 01:20:24,262
When something like this
happens to you

1415
01:20:24,586 --> 01:20:27,001
and you try to tell
how you feel about it,

1416
01:20:27,498 --> 01:20:30,422
you find that
out of all the words in the world,

1417
01:20:30,853 --> 01:20:34,146
there are only two
that really mean anything:

1418
01:20:35,832 --> 01:20:37,040
Thank you!

1419
01:20:37,539 --> 01:20:40,545
All I can do is to say them
to you from my heart.

1420
01:20:41,088 --> 01:20:43,274
All I can do is
to keep on saying them.

1421
01:20:43,387 --> 01:20:46,369
- Hey! That's fine!
- Oh Mr. Maine, please!

1422
01:20:46,408 --> 01:20:48,141
That's a very
pretty speech my dear...

1423
01:20:48,188 --> 01:20:49,568
- Just a moment!
- ...very pretty!

1424
01:20:49,592 --> 01:20:51,236
You said the right thing.

1425
01:20:51,709 --> 01:20:54,703
I wanna be the very first one
to congratulate you

1426
01:20:55,090 --> 01:20:58,705
on that, on that valuable little piece
of bric-a-brac.

1427
01:20:59,074 --> 01:21:00,820
Now, I wanna
make a speech.

1428
01:21:01,209 --> 01:21:04,676
Gentleman of the Academy
and fellow suckers,

1429
01:21:05,580 --> 01:21:07,625
I got one of those once for
a best performance,

1430
01:21:07,696 --> 01:21:10,289
they don't mean a thing...
people get 'em every year.

1431
01:21:10,540 --> 01:21:12,725
What I want is a
special award.

1432
01:21:12,875 --> 01:21:14,920
Something
nobody else can get.

1433
01:21:15,170 --> 01:21:19,071
I want a statue for the
worst performance of the year.

1434
01:21:19,882 --> 01:21:21,918
In fact,
I want three statues.

1435
01:21:22,201 --> 01:21:24,849
For the three
worst performances of the year,

1436
01:21:24,880 --> 01:21:26,547
because
I've earned them.

1437
01:21:26,596 --> 01:21:28,921
And every
single one of you

1438
01:21:29,513 --> 01:21:32,187
that saw those
last masterpieces of mine

1439
01:21:32,218 --> 01:21:33,628
knows that
I've earned them.

1440
01:21:33,810 --> 01:21:35,974
Libby, start the music.

1441
01:21:36,886 --> 01:21:38,836
What I'm here
to find out is:

1442
01:21:38,945 --> 01:21:41,250
do I get 'em,
or do I get 'em?

1443
01:21:42,335 --> 01:21:45,291
Now answer, yes or no?
- Ooo!

1444
01:21:53,254 --> 01:21:56,217
Norman darling,
let's go and sit down.

1445
01:22:03,995 --> 01:22:05,782
Come on Norman,
sit with us.

1446
01:22:07,382 --> 01:22:09,671
- Have a seat, Norman.
- Hello, Norman! - Hello, Norman.

1447
01:22:13,970 --> 01:22:16,632
- Hello, and how are you?
- All right, Oliver.

1448
01:22:17,732 --> 01:22:20,284
My dear, do let me
congratulate you.

1449
01:22:20,564 --> 01:22:22,817
You must be terribly proud
and happy tonight.

1450
01:22:23,427 --> 01:22:24,715
Thank you!

1451
01:22:32,608 --> 01:22:34,689
Somebody give me a drink!

1452
01:23:02,526 --> 01:23:05,667
Oliver, nice of you
to come to my venue.

1453
01:23:05,713 --> 01:23:06,726
Vicki how are you?

1454
01:23:06,805 --> 01:23:09,257
I've missed you, everyone's missed you.
Have a nice trip?

1455
01:23:09,300 --> 01:23:11,222
Well, a three months' tour
of the theater circuit,

1456
01:23:11,258 --> 01:23:12,819
scarecely comes
under the heading of pleasure.

1457
01:23:12,891 --> 01:23:16,294
But the way they're screaming
for your pictures all over the country,

1458
01:23:16,558 --> 01:23:19,452
Miss Lester, if I may talk shop:
you are a knock-out.

1459
01:23:19,657 --> 01:23:21,937
Thank you!
It's good to hear that.

1460
01:23:24,088 --> 01:23:25,543
You've been crying.

1461
01:23:27,006 --> 01:23:28,270
A little.

1462
01:23:29,186 --> 01:23:30,566
How's Norman?

1463
01:23:34,621 --> 01:23:35,621
He's—

1464
01:23:36,750 --> 01:23:39,245
Well, he's trying
awfully hard, Oliver.

1465
01:23:39,278 --> 01:23:42,511
Letting Norman leave the studio was
the hardest thing I ever did.

1466
01:23:43,844 --> 01:23:46,591
There was nothing else I could do.
- I know.

1467
01:23:47,001 --> 01:23:48,499
Has he been–

1468
01:23:48,952 --> 01:23:50,139
Is he alright?

1469
01:23:50,757 --> 01:23:52,628
He's gone
to a sanitarium.

1470
01:23:53,706 --> 01:23:55,842
He really wants to
stop drinking.

1471
01:23:56,675 --> 01:23:58,499
Well, I think he could,
only...

1472
01:23:58,691 --> 01:23:59,714
Well,

1473
01:23:59,993 --> 01:24:01,938
perhaps if he could
start working again...

1474
01:24:01,956 --> 01:24:03,607
it would be
some encouragement.

1475
01:24:05,397 --> 01:24:08,784
Oh, Oliver, could you?
Could you do that?

1476
01:24:09,038 --> 01:24:10,040
Yes.

1477
01:24:10,572 --> 01:24:13,824
Oh, thank you.
But he mustn't ever know I told you.

1478
01:24:14,060 --> 01:24:15,874
He won't know,
and you mustn't worry.

1479
01:24:16,003 --> 01:24:18,249
I want you to keep up
your good work in this picture.

1480
01:24:18,538 --> 01:24:22,737
I'll try, Oliver.
It's the one thing I can do for you.

1481
01:24:29,156 --> 01:24:32,563
If you'll just sit here, Mr.Niles,
I'll have Mr. Maine brought down.

1482
01:24:32,821 --> 01:24:33,985
Thank you.

1483
01:24:36,085 --> 01:24:37,504
'Brought down'?

1484
01:24:50,319 --> 01:24:54,038
Hello Oliver!
Welcome to Liberty Hall.

1485
01:24:54,063 --> 01:24:55,523
Hello Norman!

1486
01:24:55,771 --> 01:24:56,771
Yeah.

1487
01:24:57,353 --> 01:25:01,225
No. No, Mr. Niles isn't slipping me
a case of Scotch, Cuddles.

1488
01:25:01,303 --> 01:25:03,481
This is just a handshake.

1489
01:25:03,684 --> 01:25:06,453
This is Cuddles, Oliver,
my social secretary.

1490
01:25:06,649 --> 01:25:08,487
We--we go everywhere together.

1491
01:25:08,547 --> 01:25:10,085
- How're you feeling Norman?
- Fine.

1492
01:25:10,177 --> 01:25:12,371
I'm getting along remarkably well,
Cuddles tells me.

1493
01:25:12,465 --> 01:25:15,064
He says, you oughta
see some of the boys.

1494
01:25:15,755 --> 01:25:17,599
Let's sit down.

1495
01:25:20,162 --> 01:25:23,150
Cuddles, we-we really
don't need you.

1496
01:25:25,124 --> 01:25:26,666
Touching, isn't it?

1497
01:25:26,768 --> 01:25:28,448
He can't bear to have me
out of his sight!

1498
01:25:28,569 --> 01:25:32,035
Are you comfortable here, Norman?
- Comfortable? It's positively luxurious.

1499
01:25:32,277 --> 01:25:36,186
Hey, they even have iron bars on
the windows to keep out the draft.

1500
01:25:36,257 --> 01:25:38,368
How much longer
are you going to be here?

1501
01:25:38,388 --> 01:25:41,390
Oh, well, I'm really cured now,
I'm just...

1502
01:25:42,119 --> 01:25:45,794
...staying on for an extra week or two
to get in good shape, you know?

1503
01:25:46,155 --> 01:25:52,256
After all, there is no, no particular hurry
to return to the cameras.

1504
01:25:52,685 --> 01:25:54,421
That's what I wanted
to talk to you about.

1505
01:25:54,601 --> 01:25:57,469
I've got a script
with a fine part for you in it.

1506
01:26:00,218 --> 01:26:03,311
Hey, Oliver, that's great.
That's great.

1507
01:26:03,787 --> 01:26:07,092
Who, uh... who plays opposite me?

1508
01:26:07,552 --> 01:26:10,135
Well, it is not
exactly the lead.

1509
01:26:10,323 --> 01:26:12,078
Young Pemberton's doing that,

1510
01:26:12,289 --> 01:26:15,315
but I tell you frankly I consider your
part better than the lead.

1511
01:26:16,271 --> 01:26:19,095
Oh, I see.

1512
01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:21,818
It's,
better than the lead?

1513
01:26:21,904 --> 01:26:23,888
Well, of course,
it isn't terribly long,

1514
01:26:24,153 --> 01:26:26,432
but it's one of those parts
that makes an impression on you.

1515
01:26:26,475 --> 01:26:29,354
They'll be thinking about you
all through the picture. - Mhm.

1516
01:26:29,584 --> 01:26:32,186
Well, the thing is Oliver,
I'm, uh...

1517
01:26:32,350 --> 01:26:34,502
pretty well set
at another studio.

1518
01:26:35,009 --> 01:26:38,119
And I'm not at liberty at the moment
to tell you which one,

1519
01:26:38,197 --> 01:26:40,251
you know yourself how those things are.
- Of course!

1520
01:26:40,275 --> 01:26:41,666
But it's a big picture.

1521
01:26:41,826 --> 01:26:44,517
It's one of the biggest of the year...
and the part!

1522
01:26:45,004 --> 01:26:47,400
Every actor in Hollywood
would give his teeth to play it.

1523
01:26:47,425 --> 01:26:49,157
Hey, well that's fine Norman,

1524
01:26:49,196 --> 01:26:50,929
and naturally,
that would tie you up for a while,

1525
01:26:51,008 --> 01:26:53,253
but we won't get to this picture
for some time,..

1526
01:26:53,312 --> 01:26:55,333
and perhaps, if you want
to consider it for later on–

1527
01:26:55,358 --> 01:26:57,934
Well, I tell ya Oliver,
you'd better not count on me.

1528
01:26:58,695 --> 01:27:01,544
See, uh, I've got several pictures
lined-up after this one,

1529
01:27:01,606 --> 01:27:03,960
and then they're talking to me
about England and...

1530
01:27:04,143 --> 01:27:07,095
You know, that they're doing some
very interesting things over there...

1531
01:27:07,104 --> 01:27:08,642
You know... - Mhm.
- Hey! - Huh?

1532
01:27:09,395 --> 01:27:11,755
What is it Cuddles?
Speak right out. We all love you.

1533
01:27:11,942 --> 01:27:14,033
- Your dinner.
- Oh!

1534
01:27:14,197 --> 01:27:17,560
Here we dine at five thirty here,
it makes the nights longer.

1535
01:27:17,636 --> 01:27:21,287
Well, goodbye Norman.

1536
01:27:21,534 --> 01:27:23,322
I'm glad to see
you're getting along so well.

1537
01:27:23,347 --> 01:27:24,846
I'll be out in no time.

1538
01:27:24,953 --> 01:27:27,681
I'll have to introduce myself
all over to a lot of people,

1539
01:27:27,697 --> 01:27:30,447
they won't know me
when I'm not drinking, huh.

1540
01:27:30,772 --> 01:27:31,821
Goodbye.
- Goodbye Norman.

1541
01:27:31,884 --> 01:27:33,295
Thanks for dropping in.

1542
01:27:35,232 --> 01:27:37,469
Well...

1543
01:27:37,585 --> 01:27:41,503
Well, Cuddles...
alone at last, eh?

1544
01:28:25,807 --> 01:28:28,591
Oh, Burt, Sam...
How are you Marion?

1545
01:28:28,721 --> 01:28:30,489
- Oh, uh, hello.
- Hello.

1546
01:28:31,350 --> 01:28:32,760
Hello, Norman.

1547
01:28:35,663 --> 01:28:37,264
Glad to see you.

1548
01:28:39,520 --> 01:28:41,868
How I hate to
run into these has-beens.

1549
01:28:42,259 --> 01:28:44,127
- They give me the creeps.
- Me too.

1550
01:28:45,014 --> 01:28:46,756
He was good
while he had it.

1551
01:28:47,017 --> 01:28:48,758
And he had it quite a while.

1552
01:28:49,726 --> 01:28:51,753
- Hello
- Hello Mr. Maine,

1553
01:28:51,842 --> 01:28:54,828
I haven't seen you in a long time.
- Oh, I've been resting.

1554
01:28:55,367 --> 01:28:56,723
Ginger ale, please.

1555
01:28:56,970 --> 01:28:58,298
Ginger ale and what?

1556
01:28:58,735 --> 01:29:01,330
Ginger ale and...
and ginger ale.

1557
01:29:01,644 --> 01:29:02,663
A new leaf?

1558
01:29:02,864 --> 01:29:04,673
A whole new book.

1559
01:29:06,097 --> 01:29:07,307
Thank you.

1560
01:29:10,041 --> 01:29:11,608
Scotch, straight.

1561
01:29:12,046 --> 01:29:13,060
Hello Libby.

1562
01:29:13,840 --> 01:29:16,618
Why it's Mr. America
of yester-year.

1563
01:29:17,321 --> 01:29:20,351
Do they let you wander about now
without a keeper?

1564
01:29:20,617 --> 01:29:23,890
- Oh, sure, I'm a-- I'm a trustee now.
- Hm.

1565
01:29:24,045 --> 01:29:26,295
I didn't expect
to find you at Santa Anita.

1566
01:29:27,127 --> 01:29:29,608
What do they do with the actors,
well, while you're away?

1567
01:29:29,686 --> 01:29:33,114
Oh, they cut 'em into slices
and fry 'em with eggs.

1568
01:29:38,165 --> 01:29:40,805
I suppose you'll be here
all the time,

1569
01:29:40,938 --> 01:29:45,917
now that you've retired from
the hurly-burly of the silver screen.

1570
01:29:46,052 --> 01:29:47,242
Well, with...

1571
01:29:47,601 --> 01:29:49,209
living down in Malibu now,

1572
01:29:49,309 --> 01:29:50,842
pretty lonesome with...

1573
01:29:51,049 --> 01:29:53,019
...Esther away working all day.

1574
01:29:53,307 --> 01:29:56,001
Well, I wouldn't squawk about that
if I were you.

1575
01:29:57,166 --> 01:29:59,671
It's nice to have
somebody in the family making a living.

1576
01:29:59,696 --> 01:30:01,401
Ah, wait a minute, Libby...

1577
01:30:02,402 --> 01:30:04,044
I don't want to forget
that we're friends.

1578
01:30:04,069 --> 01:30:06,256
Friends my eye.
Say listen,

1579
01:30:06,478 --> 01:30:09,346
I got you out of jams
because I had to, it was my job,

1580
01:30:09,371 --> 01:30:10,942
not because
I was your friend.

1581
01:30:10,966 --> 01:30:13,187
I don't like you
and I never have liked you.

1582
01:30:13,399 --> 01:30:14,830
Nothing made me happier

1583
01:30:14,931 --> 01:30:17,309
than to see all those
cute little pranks of yours

1584
01:30:17,333 --> 01:30:20,710
finally catch up with you
and land you on your celebrated face!

1585
01:30:21,205 --> 01:30:22,666
Pretty work, Libby.

1586
01:30:23,307 --> 01:30:25,674
Always wait 'till they're down,
then kick 'em.

1587
01:30:26,064 --> 01:30:27,616
I don't feel sorry for you.

1588
01:30:27,741 --> 01:30:29,718
You've fixed
yourself nice and comfortable.

1589
01:30:29,742 --> 01:30:31,336
You can live
off your wife now.

1590
01:30:31,366 --> 01:30:33,444
She'll buy you drinks and
put up with you,

1591
01:30:33,514 --> 01:30:35,514
even though
nobody else will.

1592
01:30:37,435 --> 01:30:40,544
- Oh! Try and stop him!
- You're disturbing the peace. Back up!

1593
01:30:45,996 --> 01:30:46,988
Wait a minute,
wait a minute...

1594
01:30:47,013 --> 01:30:48,430
Come on outside for you,
wise guy!

1595
01:30:48,617 --> 01:30:49,715
I'm Norman Maine!

1596
01:30:49,740 --> 01:30:52,366
- Well, that's not my fault.
- Oh, don't bother to toss him out.

1597
01:30:52,482 --> 01:30:54,717
He's harmless.
- Alright, Mr. Libby if you say so.

1598
01:30:54,748 --> 01:30:58,096
Sure, let him go, what can he do?
He can't fight any better that he can act.

1599
01:30:58,448 --> 01:31:00,277
Norman Maine...

1600
01:31:18,253 --> 01:31:20,692
Give me a Scotch... double.

1601
01:31:22,152 --> 01:31:23,392
Leave the bottle here.

1602
01:31:30,951 --> 01:31:33,746
Vicki, you'll be ill.
Why don't you try to get a little sleep?

1603
01:31:33,771 --> 01:31:36,745
But he's been gone four days...
four days and not a word.

1604
01:31:42,402 --> 01:31:45,063
Oliver, I can't.
I just can't.

1605
01:31:47,443 --> 01:31:52,847
Hello? No, this is Oliver Niles speaking.
What? Where?

1606
01:31:54,238 --> 01:31:55,239
Thank you.

1607
01:31:55,281 --> 01:31:56,225
What is it?

1608
01:31:56,260 --> 01:31:57,910
- Nothing, nothing.
- Oliver tell me.

1609
01:31:58,041 --> 01:31:59,033
He's in the night court.

1610
01:31:59,049 --> 01:32:01,105
He's been arrested on
a drunk charge and he's alright,

1611
01:32:01,129 --> 01:32:03,042
he isn't hurt and I'm going right now to
get him out. - I'm going with you.

1612
01:32:03,068 --> 01:32:05,310
Vicki, it isn't any place for you
and if it gets in the papers—

1613
01:32:05,335 --> 01:32:08,053
What do I care about the papers?
I'm going with you!

1614
01:32:15,501 --> 01:32:18,039
Precinct 30, Municipal Court
County of Los Angeles, now in session.

1615
01:32:18,096 --> 01:32:19,808
The honorable
George J. Parris presiding.

1616
01:32:19,897 --> 01:32:21,384
Be seated, please.

1617
01:32:22,053 --> 01:32:23,597
Were you
able to do anything?

1618
01:32:23,870 --> 01:32:25,550
The judge wouldn't
even see me.

1619
01:32:25,712 --> 01:32:27,166
Ready, your Honor.

1620
01:32:32,031 --> 01:32:35,314
I want to advise you, that you are entitled
to be represented by counsel,

1621
01:32:35,745 --> 01:32:38,207
to be confronted by the witnesses
that may testify against you,

1622
01:32:38,232 --> 01:32:40,726
to compel witnesses
to attend on your behalf,

1623
01:32:40,780 --> 01:32:43,774
to a public and a speedy trial
by the court, or by a jury,

1624
01:32:44,163 --> 01:32:47,057
and the right to be admitted to bail.
Call the first five.

1625
01:32:47,326 --> 01:32:51,662
Gregory, Rails, Maine, Rodríguez, Johnson
Come on boys, step in here!

1626
01:32:52,793 --> 01:32:54,774
Go ahead,
move along.

1627
01:32:58,192 --> 01:33:00,886
- William Gregory
- Yes.

1628
01:33:02,369 --> 01:33:04,538
Plain drunk,
picked up at Fifth and Towne.

1629
01:33:04,746 --> 01:33:07,833
Asleep in the gutter,
14 similar offenses in the past 6 months.

1630
01:33:07,930 --> 01:33:09,836
Still at it, Gregory...?
How do you plead?

1631
01:33:10,183 --> 01:33:12,121
I don't feel so good.

1632
01:33:12,209 --> 01:33:14,843
I didn't ask how you feel,
I asked you how you plead!

1633
01:33:15,110 --> 01:33:16,323
Guilty, I guess.

1634
01:33:16,523 --> 01:33:18,235
When did you get out
the last time?

1635
01:33:18,825 --> 01:33:21,297
Err,
day--day before Christmas.

1636
01:33:21,502 --> 01:33:23,075
I'm sorry you'll
have to miss New Year's.

1637
01:33:23,100 --> 01:33:26,686
But you should be out in time for
Washington's Birthday. Sixty days.

1638
01:33:29,245 --> 01:33:30,708
Milton Rails.

1639
01:33:34,149 --> 01:33:35,283
A plain drunk.

1640
01:33:35,363 --> 01:33:38,231
Picked up on Brooklyn Avenue.
Given treatment at Receiving Hospital,

1641
01:33:38,324 --> 01:33:39,724
then removed to jail.

1642
01:33:39,789 --> 01:33:41,164
How old are you, Rails?

1643
01:33:41,857 --> 01:33:43,215
Uh, seventeen, sir.

1644
01:33:43,319 --> 01:33:46,542
Did you take a good look at those men
in the cell with you last night?

1645
01:33:47,440 --> 01:33:48,448
Yes, sir.

1646
01:33:48,709 --> 01:33:50,969
And have you taken a good look
at yourself this morning?

1647
01:33:51,481 --> 01:33:52,769
Oh, no sir.

1648
01:33:52,933 --> 01:33:56,055
Well, I suggest that you do.
Five dollars and two days.

1649
01:33:57,570 --> 01:33:58,900
Sentence suspended.

1650
01:33:59,490 --> 01:34:00,917
Oh, judge! I—

1651
01:34:01,273 --> 01:34:02,542
Alfred Hinkel!

1652
01:34:02,693 --> 01:34:05,404
More commonly known
as Norman Maine.

1653
01:34:06,041 --> 01:34:07,407
Drunk and disorderly.

1654
01:34:07,508 --> 01:34:09,788
Cracked car into a tree at
Sunset and Coronado.

1655
01:34:10,112 --> 01:34:11,920
Evidently
been drinking for days.

1656
01:34:11,998 --> 01:34:14,967
Resisted arrest and injured one
of his arresting officers.

1657
01:34:15,297 --> 01:34:16,631
How do you plead?

1658
01:34:17,025 --> 01:34:18,040
Guilty.

1659
01:34:18,630 --> 01:34:20,657
You're Norman Maine, the actor,
aren't you?

1660
01:34:23,410 --> 01:34:25,316
You've come pretty low,
haven't you?

1661
01:34:25,597 --> 01:34:27,993
There isn't a man here who's had
the advantages you've had.

1662
01:34:28,016 --> 01:34:29,258
Look what
you've done with them.

1663
01:34:29,402 --> 01:34:31,600
You're nothing but
an irresponsible drunk.

1664
01:34:31,647 --> 01:34:33,116
Driving about the streets
with the power

1665
01:34:33,141 --> 01:34:35,544
to inflict death or injury
on innocent people.

1666
01:34:36,532 --> 01:34:38,768
I believe we better deny you
that power for a while.

1667
01:34:39,135 --> 01:34:40,972
Ninety days
in the City jail.

1668
01:34:41,446 --> 01:34:42,517
Please wait.

1669
01:34:51,009 --> 01:34:52,252
I'm his wife.

1670
01:34:52,351 --> 01:34:54,337
Yes, I recognize you
Miss Lester.

1671
01:34:57,733 --> 01:34:59,375
Please, Judge.

1672
01:35:00,117 --> 01:35:02,300
I promise you,
this won't happen again.

1673
01:35:02,990 --> 01:35:04,780
I'll be responsible for him,

1674
01:35:06,306 --> 01:35:08,572
if you just
won't send him there.

1675
01:35:09,405 --> 01:35:11,498
Do you realize that this man,
when drunk,

1676
01:35:11,576 --> 01:35:14,596
is obviously a menace
to public safety?

1677
01:35:16,093 --> 01:35:18,159
And you realize too,
Miss Lester,

1678
01:35:18,209 --> 01:35:21,632
the responsibility you'll be assuming
to this court and to the commonwealth?

1679
01:35:22,722 --> 01:35:23,898
I do.

1680
01:35:27,837 --> 01:35:31,150
Sentence suspended.
Prisioner remanded to custody of wife.

1681
01:35:32,455 --> 01:35:33,455
Thank you.

1682
01:35:33,910 --> 01:35:36,445
You can get him
at the jail entrance, madam.

1683
01:35:37,376 --> 01:35:38,959
José Rodriguez.

1684
01:35:40,748 --> 01:35:44,011
Plain drunk. Picked up at First and Main.
Second offense.

1685
01:35:44,457 --> 01:35:45,694
How do you plead?

1686
01:35:45,812 --> 01:35:48,674
Well, I think
I'm guilty, your honor.

1687
01:35:48,765 --> 01:35:50,133
Sixty days.

1688
01:36:05,055 --> 01:36:06,113
Hey, honey,

1689
01:36:06,222 --> 01:36:08,993
I'm so tired of this—
- Hold it, Mr. Maine, a picture!

1690
01:36:09,258 --> 01:36:11,117
- Oh no, please.
- What about a statement for the press?

1691
01:36:11,158 --> 01:36:12,738
Oh no.
Please, no, no!

1692
01:36:27,692 --> 01:36:30,526
He's still asleep.
He's been sleeping all day.

1693
01:36:30,986 --> 01:36:32,428
That's the
best thing for him.

1694
01:36:32,831 --> 01:36:35,715
It's awful to see this happen
to someone you love,

1695
01:36:36,254 --> 01:36:39,366
and know in your heart
that it can't get any better.

1696
01:36:39,819 --> 01:36:43,725
I only know that, all I can do now is stay
with him and try to help him.

1697
01:36:43,893 --> 01:36:45,256
So will I.

1698
01:36:45,932 --> 01:36:47,863
And between us,
we'll take care of him.

1699
01:36:48,248 --> 01:36:50,215
You're very fond of him,
aren't you Oliver?

1700
01:36:50,922 --> 01:36:52,954
I'm very fond of
both of you.

1701
01:36:54,150 --> 01:36:56,742
Then, I know you'll understand
what I have to tell you.

1702
01:36:57,292 --> 01:36:58,794
And after what
happened last night,

1703
01:36:58,810 --> 01:37:01,210
I think you already
know what it is.

1704
01:37:01,677 --> 01:37:03,457
I can't do
any more pictures.

1705
01:37:03,687 --> 01:37:05,504
I'm going away for good
with Norman.

1706
01:37:05,838 --> 01:37:07,191
You can't
do that Vicki.

1707
01:37:07,253 --> 01:37:08,906
You're at the very peak
of your success...

1708
01:37:09,062 --> 01:37:11,037
and you've worked so hard
to achieve it.

1709
01:37:11,212 --> 01:37:12,839
That's what's
best for Norman.

1710
01:37:13,363 --> 01:37:14,831
And I've
thought it all out.

1711
01:37:15,200 --> 01:37:17,488
Maybe, if I hadn't
been away from him so much,

1712
01:37:18,053 --> 01:37:20,876
last night and what went before it
wouldn't have happened.

1713
01:37:21,575 --> 01:37:24,042
Oh, I know it's too late
to think about that now, but...

1714
01:37:24,636 --> 01:37:25,864
...it may not too be late

1715
01:37:25,895 --> 01:37:28,470
to go away with him
and start over somewhere.

1716
01:37:28,678 --> 01:37:30,697
It's your life
you're giving up Vicki.

1717
01:37:32,389 --> 01:37:35,310
So I can try
to give Norman back his.

1718
01:37:37,752 --> 01:37:40,538
Can you honestly tell me
I'm wrong to do it?

1719
01:37:43,097 --> 01:37:46,639
No Vicki, I can't
honestly tell you that.

1720
01:37:50,384 --> 01:37:54,375
Then there'll be no more...
Vicki Lester.

1721
01:37:58,807 --> 01:38:00,657
Come on,
walk to the door with me.

1722
01:38:14,426 --> 01:38:16,225
Goodbye, Vicki Lester.

1723
01:38:16,316 --> 01:38:18,246
You were a grand girl.

1724
01:38:19,115 --> 01:38:20,977
Good luck,
Mrs. Norman Maine.

1725
01:38:22,166 --> 01:38:23,375
Goodbye.

1726
01:39:37,898 --> 01:39:39,545
Hey, Darling!

1727
01:39:41,845 --> 01:39:44,145
This is Maine coming in
to apologize again.

1728
01:39:44,770 --> 01:39:47,251
Stop, I'm sorry dear, but...

1729
01:39:48,276 --> 01:39:49,748
It-it isn't you.

1730
01:39:50,968 --> 01:39:52,779
What other troubles
have you got?

1731
01:39:53,389 --> 01:39:54,586
None.

1732
01:39:55,434 --> 01:39:58,847
I was just playing
a scene with myself.

1733
01:39:59,433 --> 01:40:00,705
Now look,

1734
01:40:01,017 --> 01:40:04,289
I'm just coming out of the jitters
and you're just going into them.

1735
01:40:05,591 --> 01:40:07,409
This is a swell household.

1736
01:40:07,618 --> 01:40:08,823
Isn't it?

1737
01:40:08,848 --> 01:40:10,007
I tell you what we'll do.

1738
01:40:10,460 --> 01:40:13,841
I'll promise to brace up,
if you'll go on the wagon.

1739
01:40:14,579 --> 01:40:18,417
I guess I have
been drinking too much.

1740
01:40:19,645 --> 01:40:23,003
You know what I'm gonna do,
I'm going to be an athlete.

1741
01:40:23,373 --> 01:40:25,797
You mean with great big muscles
and everything.

1742
01:40:25,860 --> 01:40:27,856
Well, roughly speaking...

1743
01:40:28,517 --> 01:40:31,144
You're gonna join
the YMCA?

1744
01:40:31,359 --> 01:40:33,117
Nah, it'd
cost too much.

1745
01:40:33,199 --> 01:40:35,486
I'm going wading
out in our front yard.

1746
01:40:36,068 --> 01:40:37,856
- Now?
- Sure!

1747
01:40:38,158 --> 01:40:40,177
Would you like me
to go with you?

1748
01:40:41,189 --> 01:40:42,641
Sure,
if you'd like to.

1749
01:40:43,266 --> 01:40:48,398
Normie, I don't think I will.
It might spoil this beautiful, natural wave.

1750
01:40:49,185 --> 01:40:50,531
Yeah, I guess that's right.

1751
01:40:50,734 --> 01:40:54,163
Darling, look, uh...
Could you have a hot toddy rea—, um,

1752
01:40:54,950 --> 01:40:57,820
I mean, some hot soup for me,
when I come back?

1753
01:40:57,892 --> 01:40:59,090
Some hot soup.

1754
01:40:59,115 --> 01:41:01,743
Yeah, and I'll make
some of those nice sandwiches.

1755
01:41:01,851 --> 01:41:03,603
Norman, do you have to?

1756
01:41:14,135 --> 01:41:15,669
Go along now.

1757
01:41:17,283 --> 01:41:19,045
Now, don't stay in too long.

1758
01:41:25,634 --> 01:41:26,678
Hey!

1759
01:41:29,333 --> 01:41:32,565
Do you mind if I take just...
one more look?

1760
01:42:38,363 --> 01:42:41,621
First drink of water
he had in twenty years.

1761
01:42:41,762 --> 01:42:43,894
And then, he had
to get it by accident!

1762
01:42:47,546 --> 01:42:48,691
Pardon me,

1763
01:42:49,103 --> 01:42:53,135
how do you wire congratulations
to the Pacific Ocean?

1764
01:42:59,471 --> 01:43:00,734
There she is now!

1765
01:43:00,759 --> 01:43:02,509
Oh! You can't see her face!

1766
01:43:05,077 --> 01:43:06,823
Hello Vicki!

1767
01:43:23,082 --> 01:43:25,957
Get away, can't you?
- Come on, Vicki! Let's see your face.

1768
01:43:25,982 --> 01:43:29,308
Vicki, will you sign my book for me?
Write "Mrs. Norman Maine".

1769
01:43:29,400 --> 01:43:31,681
- Don't you care, Vicki.
You'll get over it.

1770
01:43:33,929 --> 01:43:35,776
Stand back,
can't you?

1771
01:43:36,772 --> 01:43:39,347
Don't you cry, dearie!
He wasn't so much!

1772
01:44:05,751 --> 01:44:10,301
Do you mind if I take just...
one more look?

1773
01:44:32,106 --> 01:44:34,401
Here are the paychecks
for the servants, Graves.

1774
01:44:34,431 --> 01:44:36,872
You'll find a very nice bonus
in each one.

1775
01:44:37,114 --> 01:44:40,196
Miss Lester asked me to thank you
for your kindness and service.

1776
01:44:40,250 --> 01:44:42,520
If there is anything I can do
for the little lady,

1777
01:44:42,544 --> 01:44:43,793
I should be glad to do it.

1778
01:44:43,818 --> 01:44:46,997
She would appreciate your attending to
the closing of the Beverly Hills house.

1779
01:44:47,052 --> 01:44:48,344
Put down those trunks.

1780
01:44:49,332 --> 01:44:51,146
Put it down, I say!

1781
01:44:53,322 --> 01:44:54,882
Well?
Where is she?

1782
01:44:54,967 --> 01:44:56,788
I-In the bedroom.
Who are you?

1783
01:44:57,093 --> 01:44:59,610
Oh, I'm her grandmother.
Get out of the way!

1784
01:45:02,453 --> 01:45:03,461
Granny!

1785
01:45:03,500 --> 01:45:06,223
- Esther!
- Granny, darling!

1786
01:45:08,301 --> 01:45:10,922
Oh I'm so glad to see you!
What made you come?

1787
01:45:11,013 --> 01:45:12,630
Oh I know
when I'm needed.

1788
01:45:13,358 --> 01:45:15,800
Now get out of here!
Go on... get out of here, all of you!

1789
01:45:15,825 --> 01:45:17,882
I want to talk to
my granddaughter alone.

1790
01:45:18,502 --> 01:45:20,898
I came just as
quickly as I could.

1791
01:45:20,923 --> 01:45:23,617
But I'm going home.
I sent you a wire yesterday.

1792
01:45:24,143 --> 01:45:25,468
Hm!

1793
01:45:28,637 --> 01:45:29,922
Sit down!

1794
01:45:33,185 --> 01:45:35,418
Is it true that you're
going to quit the movies?

1795
01:45:35,614 --> 01:45:37,347
I never want to
hear of them again.

1796
01:45:40,509 --> 01:45:42,677
What are you running away from
little girl?

1797
01:45:43,309 --> 01:45:44,831
I'm not running away, its...

1798
01:45:45,590 --> 01:45:49,020
it's just that I can't go on,
my heart isn't in it anymore.

1799
01:45:49,711 --> 01:45:52,160
Once I told you
that to get what you want,

1800
01:45:52,193 --> 01:45:54,287
you to have to give
your heart in exchange.

1801
01:45:54,574 --> 01:45:57,186
And you said,
you were willing, remember?

1802
01:45:58,010 --> 01:45:59,203
I remember.

1803
01:45:59,939 --> 01:46:01,467
Well,
It seems to me

1804
01:46:01,508 --> 01:46:03,266
that you got more than
you bargained for.

1805
01:46:03,620 --> 01:46:08,047
More fame. More success.
Even more, personal happiness.

1806
01:46:08,922 --> 01:46:11,500
Maybe,
more unhappiness.

1807
01:46:11,843 --> 01:46:17,249
But you did make a bargain
and now you're whining over it.

1808
01:46:18,022 --> 01:46:22,182
I don't think I'd feel so very proud
of myself, if I were you, Esther.

1809
01:46:22,656 --> 01:46:25,593
I'm not Granny,
but my mind's made up.

1810
01:46:25,764 --> 01:46:29,223
Well, then I'm sorry I gave you the money
to come out here, it was just wasted.

1811
01:46:29,263 --> 01:46:32,075
- Oh, but Granny—
- I was proud of you Esther.

1812
01:46:32,471 --> 01:46:35,615
I was proud to be
the grandmother of Vicki Lester.

1813
01:46:35,972 --> 01:46:41,119
It gave me something to live for,
now, I haven't any.

1814
01:46:42,712 --> 01:46:47,736
I know. Oh, I-I want to be strong,
but I-I can't go on.

1815
01:46:47,840 --> 01:46:48,887
I can't!

1816
01:46:49,932 --> 01:46:51,365
You must.

1817
01:46:51,740 --> 01:46:53,484
Tragedy is a test of courage.

1818
01:46:53,650 --> 01:46:57,218
If you can meet it bravely,
it will leave you bigger than it found you.

1819
01:46:57,610 --> 01:47:01,255
If not, then you'll have to live
all your life as a coward.

1820
01:47:01,590 --> 01:47:03,435
Because no matter where
you may run,

1821
01:47:03,575 --> 01:47:05,987
you can never run away
from yourself.

1822
01:47:07,981 --> 01:47:10,243
I never knew
Norman Maine.

1823
01:47:10,680 --> 01:47:13,900
He wrote me a very sweet letter
when you were married.

1824
01:47:14,353 --> 01:47:17,487
He said you told him
how much I meant to you.

1825
01:47:17,932 --> 01:47:22,372
And I know just how much
you must have meant to him.

1826
01:47:23,669 --> 01:47:24,856
You know, Esther,

1827
01:47:24,911 --> 01:47:27,415
I can't believe
that wherever he is,

1828
01:47:27,876 --> 01:47:29,555
he can be very happy,

1829
01:47:29,774 --> 01:47:32,404
knowing that his death
broke the spirit of the little girl

1830
01:47:32,451 --> 01:47:35,311
he praised me so highly
for raising.

1831
01:47:35,593 --> 01:47:38,871
And I can't believe that
he can be very proud

1832
01:47:39,308 --> 01:47:42,495
knowing that
all his great love did for you

1833
01:47:43,254 --> 01:47:46,970
was to make you a quitter.

1834
01:47:48,689 --> 01:47:52,692
The car is ready Miss Lester.
We'll have to go now to make the train.

1835
01:47:58,807 --> 01:48:01,392
Put the car back
in the garage.

1836
01:48:03,515 --> 01:48:05,392
Oh Granny,
I've been such a fool!

1837
01:48:09,519 --> 01:48:11,959
The entire picture industry
has come to the Chinese Theater

1838
01:48:11,984 --> 01:48:13,504
for this opening tonight.

1839
01:48:13,635 --> 01:48:15,658
It has come to pay tribute
to a great star,

1840
01:48:15,689 --> 01:48:17,644
on a long-awaited
return to the screen

1841
01:48:17,803 --> 01:48:20,498
in what has been called:
"her greatest performance".

1842
01:48:20,621 --> 01:48:22,830
It has come to pay tribute
to the girl herself.

1843
01:48:23,099 --> 01:48:25,065
The girl who has won
the heart of Hollywood.

1844
01:48:25,710 --> 01:48:27,631
The girl who has won
the heart of the world.

1845
01:48:27,879 --> 01:48:29,191
Miss Vicki Lester.

1846
01:48:30,366 --> 01:48:31,852
And if I'm not mistaken,

1847
01:48:31,952 --> 01:48:34,539
Miss Lester's car has just driven-up.

1848
01:48:34,578 --> 01:48:36,776
Yes, it is here!

1849
01:48:51,009 --> 01:48:52,830
I hope this doesn't
scare you too much.

1850
01:48:52,870 --> 01:48:54,965
I scare very slowly,
young man!

1851
01:48:54,985 --> 01:48:56,972
Big smile folks,
please!

1852
01:49:01,971 --> 01:49:03,897
They'll have your mug—

1853
01:49:04,219 --> 01:49:05,265
I mean your face,

1854
01:49:05,304 --> 01:49:08,019
plastered across half
the papers in the country tomorrow.

1855
01:49:08,069 --> 01:49:10,670
- Hm. How do I look?
- Oh, you look swell!

1856
01:49:10,785 --> 01:49:12,545
You're a liar, but I like ya.

1857
01:49:12,570 --> 01:49:14,577
And here's Miss Lester's Grandmother.

1858
01:49:14,626 --> 01:49:16,990
Won't you say a few words
to the radio audience, please?

1859
01:49:17,307 --> 01:49:18,476
Say something, Lettie.

1860
01:49:19,093 --> 01:49:19,944
Heh.

1861
01:49:19,968 --> 01:49:22,063
You know, we've got a thing
like that back home,

1862
01:49:22,110 --> 01:49:25,138
where they all listen-in on,
but we call it a party line.

1863
01:49:26,503 --> 01:49:28,641
Won't you say something, please?
They're listening.

1864
01:49:30,850 --> 01:49:35,221
Maybe some of you people listening-in
dream about coming to Hollywood.

1865
01:49:35,668 --> 01:49:38,508
Maybe some of you
will get pretty discouraged.

1866
01:49:38,883 --> 01:49:42,486
Well, when you do,
you just think about me.

1867
01:49:42,820 --> 01:49:44,611
It took me over seventy—

1868
01:49:45,489 --> 01:49:49,864
er, sixty years to get here,
but here I am,

1869
01:49:49,973 --> 01:49:52,024
and here I mean to stay!

1870
01:49:52,145 --> 01:49:55,021
Thank you very much.

1871
01:50:06,477 --> 01:50:07,809
Miss Lester.

1872
01:50:11,965 --> 01:50:14,120
This microphone is
on an international hook up.
