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