There's Been A Call / Journey To Paramount |
| 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 |
| Well, that’s wonderful, Norma |
| But it was some fool assistant |
| Not acceptable at all |
| It he wants me, then Cecil B |
| Himself must call |
| I don’t know if this is the time to stand on ceremony |
| 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 |
| Shouldn’t you at least call back? |
| No; |
| they can wait until I’m good and ready |
| 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 |
| If you will pardon me, Madame, the shadow over the left eye is not quite |
| balanced |
| Thank you, Max |
| Hey, that’s enough of that |
| To see Mr. DeMille. |
| Open the gate |
| Mr. DeMille is shooting. |
| You need an appointment |
| This is Norma Desmond. |
| No appointment is necessary |
| Norma who? |
| Jonesy? |
| Why, if it isn’t Miss Desmond. |
| How have you been, Miss Desmond? |
| Fine, Jonesy. |
| Open the gate |
| You heard Miss Desmond |
| They don’t have a pass |
| Stage 18, Miss Desmond |
| Thank you, Jonesy. |
| And teach your friend some manners. |
| Tell him without me, |
| there wouldn’t be any Paramount Studio |
| Get me Stage 18. I have a message for Mr. DeMille |
| Mr. DeMille? |
| What is it? |
| Norma Desmond is here to see you, Mr. DeMille |
| Norma Desmond? |
| She’s here at the studio |
| It must be about that appalling script of hers. |
| What shall I say? |
| Maybe I could give her the brush |
| Thirty million fans have given her the brush. |
| Isn’t that enough? |
| Give me a minute |
| Won’t you come along, darling? |
| It’s your script. |
| It’s your show. |
| Good luck |
| Thank you, darling |
| Miss Desmond |
| Well, well, well |
| Hello, Mr. DeMille. |
| The last time I saw you, we were someplace terribly gay. |
| I was dancing on the table |
| A lot of people were. |
| Lindbergh had just landed |
| You read the script, of course |
| Well, yes… |
| 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 |
| I don’t know what you mean, Norma |
| Yes, you do |
| Come on in |
