[NORMA] There's been a call What did I say They want to see me right away Joe, Paramount, they love our child Mr. DeMille is going wild
[JOE, spoken] Well, that's wonderful, Norma
[NORMA] But it was some fool assistant Not acceptable at all It he wants me, then Cecil B Himself must call
[JOE, spoken] I don't know if this is the time to stand on ceremony
[NORMA] I've been waiting twenty years now What's a few more days, my dear? It's happened, Joe I told you so The perfect year
Now, let's go upstairs
[JOE] Shouldn't you at least call back?
[NORMA, spoken] No; they can wait until I'm good and ready
[JOE, voiceover] It took her three days and she was ready She checked with her astrologer Who sacrificed a chicken She dressed up like a pharaoh Slapped on a pound of make-up And set forth in her chariot Poor Norma So happy Re-entering her kingdom
[MAX, voiceover] If you will pardon me, Madame, the shadow over the left eye is not quite balanced
[NORMA, voiceover] Thank you, Max
[GUARD, spoken] Hey, that's enough of that
[MAX, spoken] To see Mr. DeMille. Open the gate
[GUARD, spoken] Mr. DeMille is shooting. You need an appointment
[MAX, spoken] This is Norma Desmond. No appointment is necessary
[GUARD, spoken] Norma who?
[NORMA, spoken] Jonesy?
[JONES, spoken] Why, if it isn't Miss Desmond. How have you been, Miss Desmond?
[NORMA, spoken] Fine, Jonesy. Open the gate

[HEATHER, spoken] Mr. DeMille?

[HEATHER, spoken] Norma Desmond is here to see you, Mr. DeMille
[DEMILLE, spoken] Norma Desmond?
[HEATHER, spoken] She's here at the studio
[DEMILLE, spoken] It must be about that appalling script of hers. What shall I say?
[HEATHER, spoken] Maybe I could give her the brush
[DEMILLE, spoken] Thirty million fans have given her the brush. Isn't that enough? Give me a minute
[NORMA, spoken] Won't you come along, darling?
[JOE, spoken] It's your script. It's your show. Good luck
[NORMA, spoken] Thank you, darling
[HEATHER, spoken] Miss Desmond
[DEMILLE, spoken] Well, well, well
[NORMA, spoken] Hello, Mr. DeMille. The last time I saw you, we were someplace terribly gay. I was dancing on the table
[DEMILLE, spoken] A lot of people were. Lindbergh had just landed
[NORMA, spoken] You read the script, of course
[DEMILLE, spoken] Well, yes...
[NORMA, spoken] Now, I know how busy you are during shooting, but I really think you could have picked up the phone yourself, instead of leaving it so some assistant
