1:08:03
Norma, I must apologize
for not calling you.
1:08:06
You'd better.
I'm very angry.
1:08:08
Well, you can see
I'm terribly busy.
1:08:10
That's no excuse.
You read the script, of course.
1:08:14
Yes, I did.
1:08:15
Then you could've picked up
the telephone yourself...
1:08:17
instead of leaving it
to one of your assistants.
1:08:20
- What assistant?
- Now, don't play innocent.
1:08:22
Somebody named Gordon Cole.
1:08:25
Gordon Cole?
1:08:27
And if you hadn't been pretty
darn interested in that script...
1:08:29
he wouldn't have tried to
get me on the telephone ten times.
1:08:32
Gordon Cole.
1:08:35
Norma, I'm in the middle
of a rehearsal.
1:08:38
Why don't you sit here in my chair
and make yourself comfortable.
1:08:42
- Thank you.
- That's a girl.
1:08:45
I won't be a moment.
1:08:47
Bring me a telephone...
1:08:49
and get me Gordon Cole.
1:09:06
Hey! Miss Desmond!
1:09:12
It's me! It's Hog-Eye!
1:09:15
Hello, Hog-Eye.
1:09:20
Let's get a good look at you.
1:09:26
Look. There's Norma Desmond.
1:09:28
Norma Desmond!
1:09:31
- Norma Desmond!
- Why, I thought she was dead.
1:09:33
How nice to see you.
1:09:35
Welcome home, Miss Desmond.
You remember me, don't you?
1:09:39
- Doesn't she look wonderful?
- Hello, Bessy.
1:09:41
Mr. Wilcoxon,
have you met Miss Desmond?
1:09:43
It's a great pleasure.
1:09:45
Gordon, this is C.B. DeMille.
1:09:47
Have you been calling
Norma Desmond?
1:09:49
Yes, Mr. DeMille.
1:09:51
It's that car of hers,
an old Isotta-Fraschini.
1:09:54
Her chauffeur drove it on the lot
the other day.
1:09:56
It looks just right
for the Crosby picture.
1:09:58
We want to rent it.
