NORMA (spoken) Is this what you're looking for, by any chance?
JOE(spoken) Why, yes.
NORMA (spoken) Whose phone number is this? I've been worried about the line of my throat. I think this woman has done wonders with it.
JOE (spoken) Good.
NORMA (spoken) And I've lost half a pound since Tuesday.
JOE (spoken) Very good.
NORMA (spoken) Now it's after nine. I'd better get to bed.
JOE (spoken) You had.
NORMA (spoken) Are you coming up?
JOE (spoken) I think I'll read a while longer.
NORMA (spoken) You went out last night, didn't you, Joe?
JOE (spoken) I went for a walk.
NORMA (spoken) You took the car.
JOE (spoken) I drove to the beach.
NORMA (spoken) Who's Betty Schaefer?
JOE (spoken) Surely, you don't want me to feel as if I'm a prisoner in this house?
NORMA (spoken) You don't understand, Joe. I'm under such a terrible strain. It's been so hard I even got myself a revolver. The only thing that stopped me from killing myself was the thought of all those people, waiting to see me back on the screen. How could I disappoint them? All I ask is a little patience, a little understanding.
JOE (spoken) Norma, there's nothing to worry about. I haven't done anything.
NORMA (spoken) Of course you haven't. Good night, my darling.
JOE I should have stayed there Poor Norma So desperate to be ready For what would never happen But Betty would be waiting We had a script to finish One unexpected love scene Two people, both risking A kind of happy ending
