1:03:07
Madame is wanted
on the telephone.
1:03:09
You know better
than to interrupt me.
1:03:11
- Paramount is calling.
- Who?
1:03:13
Paramount studios.
1:03:16
Now!
Now do you believe me?
1:03:18
I told you DeMille
would jump at it.
1:03:20
It is not Mr. DeMille
in person.
1:03:22
It is someone called Gordon Cole.
He says it is very important.
1:03:26
Certainly it's important.
1:03:27
It's important enough for
Mr. DeMille to call me personally.
1:03:30
The very idea of having
some assistant call me!
1:03:33
Say I'm busy and hang up!
1:03:35
Very good, Madame.
1:03:42
How do you like that?
1:03:44
We've made 1 2 pictures together.
His greatest successes!
1:03:48
Maybe he's busy shooting.
1:03:50
I know that trick!
1:03:52
He's trying to belittle me.
He's trying to get my price down.
1:03:55
I've waited 20 years
for this call.
1:03:59
Now DeMille can wait
until I'm good and ready!
1:04:05
About three days later
she was good and ready.
1:04:08
Incredible as it may seem...
1:04:10
there had been some more of those
urgent calls from Paramount.
1:04:14
So she put on about a half pound of
makeup, fixed it up with a veil...
1:04:19
and set forth
to see DeMille in person.
1:04:24
Madame will pardon me.
1:04:26
The shadow over the left eye
is not quite balanced.
1:04:31
Thank you, Max.
1:04:47
Hold that noise!
1:04:52
To see Mr. DeMille.
Open the gate.
1:04:54
Mr. DeMille is shooting.
You got an appointment?
1:04:57
No appointment necessary.
1:04:59
I'm bringing Norma Desmond.
