1:31:04
Ever been in one of these
old Hollywood palazzos?
1:31:08
That's from when they were making
$18,000 a week tax-free.
1:31:11
Careful of these tiles, they're slippery.
Valentino used to dance here.
1:31:16
- Is this where you live?
- You bet.
1:31:19
- Whose house is it?
- Hers.
1:31:23
- Whose?
- Look around, there's a lot of her.
1:31:26
If you don't remember the face, you've
heard the name. Norma Desmond?
1:31:31
- That was her on the phone?
- Drink?
1:31:34
There's always champagne,
plenty of caviar.
1:31:37
- Why did she call me?
- Jealous.
1:31:41
Ever see so much junk? She had
the ceiling brought from Portugal.
1:31:45
And look at this.
1:31:50
Her own movie theatre.
1:31:51
I didn't come to see a house.
What about Norma Desmond?
1:31:57
That's what I'm trying to tell you.
This is an enormous place.
1:32:02
Eight master bedrooms.
A sunken tub in every bathroom.
1:32:06
There's a bowling alley in the cellar.
1:32:11
It's lonely here,
so she got herself a companion.
1:32:16
Very simple set-up.
1:32:18
Older woman who's well-to-do.
1:32:21
A younger man
who's not doing too well.
1:32:25
- Can you figure it out?
- No.
1:32:28
- I'll give you a few more clues.
- No, I haven't heard any of this.
1:32:34
I never got those telephone calls
and I've never been in this house.
1:32:38
Get your things and let's go.
1:32:42
All my things?
1:32:44
My 18 suits, my custom-made
shoes, the six dozen shirts,
1:32:48
the cufflinks, the platinum key-chains
and the cigarette cases?
1:32:52
- Come on, Joe.
- Come on where?
1:32:56
To a one-room apartment
I can't pay for,
1:32:59
to a story that may sell
and very possibly won't?
