Life, which can be
strangely merciful...
1:48:08
had taken pity on Norma Desmond.
1:48:11
The dream she had clung to
so desperately...
1:48:15
had enfolded her.
1:48:45
I can't go on with the scene.
I'm too happy.
1:48:49
Mr. DeMille, do you mind
if I say a few words?
1:48:52
Thank you.
1:48:54
I want to tell you all how happy
I am to be back in the studio...
1:48:57
making a picture again!
1:49:00
You don't know how much
I've missed all of you.
1:49:03
And I promise you
I'll never desert you again.
1:49:06
Because after Salome
we'll make another picture...
1:49:08
and another picture!
1:49:11
You see, this is my life.
1:49:13
It always will be.
1:49:15
There's nothing else.
1:49:16
Just us...
1:49:19
and the cameras...
1:49:21
and those wonderful people
out there in the dark.
1:49:27
All right, Mr. DeMille,
I'm ready for my close-up.
