[MAX, spoken]
If you'll pardon me, Madame
The shadow over the left eye is not quite balanced
[NORMA, spoken]
Thank you, Max
[GUARD, spoken]
Hey, that's enough of that
[MAX, spoken]
We're here 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 necessary
[GUARD, spoken]
Norma who?
[NORMA, spoken]
Jonesy
[JONES, spoken]
Why, if it isn't Miss Desmond
How ya been, Miss Desmond?
[NORMA, spoken]
Fine, Jonesy, open the gate
[JONES, spoken]
You heard Miss Desmond
[GUARD, spoken]
They don't have a pass
[JONES, spoken]
Stage 18, Miss Desmond
[NORMA, spoken]
Thank you, Jonеsy
And teach your friend some mannеrs
Tell her without me, there wouldn't be a Paramount Studio
[JONES, spoken]
Get me Stage 18, I have a message for Mr. DeMille
[HEATHER, spoken]
Mr. DeMille?
[DEMILLE, spoken]
What is it?
[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 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? Gimme 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 was someplace terribly gay
We were dancing on a table
You read the script, of course?
[DEMILLE, spoken]
Yes
[NORMA, spoken]
Well, I know how busy you are when you're shooting
But I really think you could have picked up the phone yourself, instead of leaving it to some assistant
[DEMILLE, spoken]
I don't know what you mean, Norma
[NORMA, spoken]
Yes, you do
[DEMILLE, spoken]
Come on in
