00:02:13 #1 anybody asking you.
00:02:15 #2 Granny.
00:02:16 #3 Hello, darling.
00:02:17 #4 Of course no one ever listens to me.
00:02:19 #5 I do if they were within ten miles of you.
00:02:23 #6 House all cut it up with movie magazines.
00:02:25 #7 And the other day I caught her talking to a horse
00:02:27 #8 with a Swedish accent.
00:02:29 #9 I says...
00:02:30 #10 we're only young ones, you know.
00:02:32 #11 Hollywood.
00:02:37 #12 You'd better be getting yourself a good husband
00:02:39 #13 and stop moaning about Hollywood.
00:02:41 #14 You know what she wants to do?
00:02:43 #15 She wants to go to Hollywood.
00:02:45 #16 I've known it all along.
00:02:48 #17 I've seen her making faces in the mirror and talking to herself.
00:02:52 #18 That's what comes of your movies.
00:02:55 #19 Well, what would you do if you did go to Hollywood?
00:02:58 #20 I'd be an actress.
00:03:00 #21 I would, I tell you. I've always known I could.
00:03:03 #22 I think that you're practically on your way to bed.
00:03:11 #23 Oh, my God, you're my favorite actress.
00:03:14 #24 Won't you tell me the secret of your success?
00:03:15 #25 Oh, let me alone.
00:03:17 #26 I asked her, what's come over you?
00:03:19 #27 I'll tell you what's come over her.
00:03:21 #28 She's just a silly little girl whose head has been turned by the movies.
00:03:24 #29 And as soon as she forgets the whole thing, the better off she'll be.
00:03:27 #30 Why will I be better off?
00:03:29 #31 What's wrong with wanting to get out and make something of myself?
00:03:31 #32 What do you do that's so much better?
00:03:33 #33 Just because you're satisfied to sit here all your life,
00:03:36 #34 you think you can laugh at me?
00:03:37 #35 Well, someday you won't laugh at me. I'm going to...
00:03:39 #36 Now, if it was spring, I'd say give her a good dose of soap.
00:03:50 #37 Fine, Jack. I think you can go and do your bit for her.
00:04:03 #38 Oh, I'm crying because Aunt Maddie and Alec make me so mad.
00:04:06 #39 Well, they cannot maddie.
00:04:08 #40 They're not important. You're the only one that counts.
00:04:12 #41 Everyone in this world who has ever dreamed about men and things has been sad.
00:04:17 #42 Don't you know that?
00:04:19 #43 Of course I do, but there's a difference between dreaming and doing.
00:04:23 #44 The dreamers just sit around and moon about how wonderful it would be
00:04:28 #45 if only things were different.
00:04:30 #46 And years roll on when they grow old.
00:04:33 #47 And by and by they forget everything.
00:04:36 #48 Everything.
00:04:37 #49 Even about everything.
00:04:38 #50 Oh, I don't want to be like that.
00:04:40 #51 I want to be somebody.
00:04:42 #52 Oh, yes. Oh, yes. You want to be somebody.
00:04:44 #53 But you want it to be easy.
00:04:46 #54 Oh, you modern girls give me a hand.
00:04:49 #55 When I wanted something better,
00:04:51 #56 I came across those planes in a prairie schooner
00:04:53 #57 with your grandfather.
00:04:55 #58 Oh, everyone laughed at this.
00:04:57 #59 They did it all the other time, yes.
00:04:59 #60 They said this country would never be anything
00:05:01 #61 but a wilderness.
00:05:02 #62 We didn't believe that.
00:05:04 #63 We were going to make a new country.
00:05:07 #64 Besides, we wanted to see how dreams come true.
00:05:12 #65 Oh, Granny, it must have been wonderful.
00:05:14 #66 It was wonderful.
00:05:16 #67 But don't you think for one single minute that it was easy as the budget?
00:05:20 #68 We burned in summer and we froze in winter.
00:05:23 #69 But we kept right on going and we didn't complain.
00:05:26 #70 Because we were doing what we wanted to do.
00:05:29 #71 Can you understand that?
00:05:33 #72 Yes, I can.
00:05:34 #73 Could you do it?
00:05:38 #74 Could you do it even if it broke your heart?
00:05:41 #75 Because remember Esther, for every dream of yours
00:05:44 #76 you may come true, you'll pay the price in heartbreak.
00:05:47 #77 You know what I'm talking about.
00:05:53 #78 You may not believe it, but I was a young girl once.
00:05:57 #79 I'm a very pretty young girl.
00:05:59 #80 A lot prettier than you are.
00:06:02 #81 I was in love with your grandfather.
00:06:05 #82 When some Indian devil put a bullet through him,
00:06:08 #83 That has given him the time I'd strength through my heart too.
00:06:12 #84 I remembered all he taught me.
00:06:14 #85 And I went right on.
00:06:16 #86 I buried him out there on that wilderness with my old hands.
00:06:21 #87 I went right on that same day.
00:06:23 #88 And I kept right on the wilderness.
00:06:26 #89 Even when your mother was born.
00:06:31 #90 I wouldn't make it worthwhile.
00:06:37 #91 You know Esther, then always be a wilderness, Mr. Conker.
00:06:41 #92 Maybe Hollywood's your wilderness now.
00:06:44 #93 From all I hear, it sounds like it.
00:06:48 #94 But if you've got one drop of my blood in your veins,
00:06:52 #95 you won't let Matthew or any of her kind break your heart.
00:06:56 #96 You'll go right out there and break it yourself.
00:06:59 #97 That's your right.
00:07:05 #98 Oh, here, here, stop that nonsense.
00:07:08 #99 Here, take this and go to your Hollywood.
00:07:11 #100 Oh, I can't take your money. Well, why not?
00:07:13 #101 It's your savings.
00:07:14 #102 Well, I was only saving up for my funeral.
00:07:16 #103 Now I don't think I'm ever going to die.
00:07:19 #104 Oh Granny, how can I ever thank you?
00:07:21 #105 By giving me your word of honor
00:07:23 #106 that you will never tell a living soul
00:07:25 #107 where you've got that money.
00:07:26 #108 I promise.
00:07:27 #109 Remember, if you do, I'll have you arrested for robbing me.
00:07:32 #110 Oh I can make it, dear.
00:07:45 #111 I just glad to find, just a little kiss
00:07:51 #112 and didn't even wake up.
00:07:52 #113 I bet you didn't slide that on your Aunt Maddie.
00:07:54 #114 Oh, Aunt Maddie, think of her face when you tell her.
00:07:57 #115 I am thinking about it.
00:07:59 #116 I've waited for that chance for 30 years.
00:08:02 #117 There she is, girl.
00:08:03 #118 Oh, thank you, Curly.
00:11:17 #119 Good afternoon.
00:11:20 #120 Day, week or month?
00:11:22 #121 It's a little hard to say.
00:11:23 #122 You see, I'm going into the movie.
00:11:26 #123 Well, you better take it for a week.
00:11:27 #124 It'll break your jump to Beverly Hills.
00:11:29 #125 Are all the studios really near here?
00:11:32 #126 All except Gommard-British.
00:11:35 #127 I suppose the best way to get a job
00:11:37 #128 is to go straight to the studios, isn't it?
00:11:39 #129 I have many illusions, you know.
00:11:40 #130 I'm perfectly willing to begin with a little bit of a part or even as an extra six dollars please in advance.
00:11:48 #131 Oh, I beg your pardon.
00:12:39 #132 I'd like to register for extra work.
00:12:41 #133 How long have you been in Hollywood? Well, it's about a month now.
00:12:45 #134 We haven't put anyone on our books for over two years. Come here.
00:12:55 #135 I'd like to show you something.
00:13:07 #136 Every time you see one of those little lights flashed, somebody asking for a job.
00:13:11 #137 Every time you hear them say, try later, it means there isn't any job.
00:13:15 #138 You can't keep the girls to switch for it long, they go crazy.
00:13:20 #139 Every one of those little lights thought it was going to be a star.
00:13:24 #140 You still want to go on the movies?
00:13:26 #141 You know what your chance is all?
00:13:33 #142 One in a hundred thousand.
00:13:36 #143 But maybe, I'm that one.
00:13:46 #144 I'm that one.
00:13:48 #145 And he won't call for me, Mr. Randall.
00:14:02 #146 Oh, no.
00:14:04 #147 Jesse Lasky and Sammy Goldman must be writing letters instead.
00:14:08 #148 How's the luck today?
00:14:12 #149 There wasn't any.
00:14:14 #150 Maybe you don't go out in the right way.
00:14:16 #151 I think Danny McGuire here. He knows the ropes.
00:14:19 #152 Don't you, Danny?
00:14:20 #153 Sure. I've had him around my neck for years.
00:14:22 #154 Miss Blodgett, Danny McGuire, our new tenant.
00:14:31 #155 How do you do?
00:14:32 #156 Mr. McGuire is a big director.
00:14:35 #157 Are you really? Could you possibly use me in a picture, Mr. McGuire?
00:14:45 #158 Of course, I haven't had much experience, but I don't think that really matters if you're willing.
00:14:50 #159 And I...
00:14:51 #160 I'm listening, lady. In the first place, I'm not a director. I'm an assistant director.
00:14:56 #161 In the second place, if I had any jobs to give away, I'd confer one on myself.
00:15:01 #162 And in the third place, you should have stayed back home in the fifth place.
00:15:05 #163 Hey, wait a minute! Hey, don't be that worried.
00:15:16 #164 Don't worry. Don't do that.
00:15:22 #165 Gosh, I didn't mean to get tough, but...
00:15:25 #166 ...the guy thinks he's being kiddlin'.
00:15:28 #167 Somebody asked him for a job, and...
00:15:31 #168 ...he hasn't got one for himself.
00:15:36 #169 After all, I'm not a big enough shot to hurt your feelings.
00:15:39 #170 I'm sorry. It wasn't just that. It was a lot of things.
00:15:44 #171 Looking for a job every day and never getting any nearer to it.
00:15:47 #172 I guess I was beginning to get a little scared.
00:15:49 #173 I know.
00:15:50 #174 Lady, do I know?
00:15:52 #175 Well, there's only one thing to do for that feeling when you're tired and sunk and down
00:15:57 #176 to your last nickel.
00:15:58 #177 Come on and I'll buy you a drink.
00:16:00 #178 What's not as bad as down to the last nickel?
00:16:02 #179 I still got $11 less.
00:16:04 #180 $11?
00:16:05 #181 You're going to buy me a drink.
00:16:07 #182 Come on.
00:16:08 #183 That's right, George.
00:16:09 #184 There's nothing like a little rum that'd take away the milk flavor.
00:16:19 #185 So I'm just the person I'm going to do a signature drink every put your eye in.
00:16:43 #186 That's my pal.
00:16:47 #187 I'm going to be perfectly nice about it, but I'll just insist.
00:16:54 #188 Now that's the way to talk.
00:16:55 #189 Don't let them lick you.
00:16:57 #190 Oh, I should really not lick me.
00:16:59 #191 They try anything like that work.
00:17:05 #192 Now that's right.
00:17:06 #193 What have you got to lose?
00:17:08 #194 Another one of these and we'll open our own studio.
00:17:19 #195 $24.
00:17:20 #196 Pass two.
00:17:22 #197 Remit, pull up, further delay.
00:17:25 #198 Me.
00:18:22 #199 Hey, the program's going to be swell tonight.
00:18:24 #200 Now you take this fella Beethoven, I'm a pushover for him.
00:18:28 #201 And Chopin, well he's not so dusty either.
00:18:31 #202 But I kind of wish that once in a while
00:18:32 #203 that play something you could sort of go out whistling.
00:18:35 #204 You know like, bluddo, nascendo, bluddo.
00:18:41 #205 Well there's a tune.
00:18:43 #206 Hey why don't you throw your hat in the air
00:18:45 #207 or something, can't you?
00:18:45 #208 This is a celebration, my job starts tomorrow.
00:18:48 #209 I know it does and I think it's swell, Danny.
00:18:51 #210 Gee, I wish you were in on it too.
00:18:54 #211 But I don't know what would have to be a war picture
00:18:56 #212 with those big novelty numbers, a war picture
00:18:58 #213 without any beautiful women at the front.
00:19:01 #214 Well, something will happen soon.
00:19:03 #215 Maybe.
00:19:05 #216 Why don't you go home, kid?
00:19:08 #217 Oh, Danny, I can't do that.
00:19:10 #218 I came here and I've got to stay.
00:19:13 #219 Well, now if it's on account of money, I can look.
00:19:15 #220 Thank you for giving me enough already.
00:19:16 #221 Anyhow, this is no time to be worrying.
00:19:18 #222 This is our party.
00:19:21 #223 Look at all the people.
00:19:23 #224 Everybody in the world.
00:19:26 #225 That's me and the name.
00:19:31 #226 It seems to have had that one extra copy.
00:19:41 #227 Don't you dope. That's me the orchestra leader.
00:20:09 #228 Mr. May, put your arm around Miss Regis.
00:20:12 #229 Otto, this is a Hollywood bowl.
00:20:14 #230 Oh, afraid of crowds.
00:20:17 #231 It's going to a dead body.
00:20:19 #232 What's the matter? You're getting too big to bother with photographers?
00:20:22 #233 Don't want any pictures taken now.
00:20:25 #234 Oh, is that so? What's the person I take it anyway?
00:20:28 #235 Oh, shut the problem number two years down your throat.
00:20:31 #236 Thank you, Mr....
00:20:45 #237 Come back and sit down. Everybody's laughing at you.
00:20:59 #238 Always like that?
00:21:01 #239 I suppose he has to sleep sometime.
00:21:03 #240 Oh, he's so wonderful on the screen.
00:21:06 #241 I got a job for you.
00:21:48 #242 Danny, that's wonderful. When do I go to the studio?
00:21:52 #243 Well, you don't exactly go to the studio.
00:21:54 #244 Oh, it's on location.
00:21:55 #245 It's not exactly our location.
00:21:57 #246 But of course I have some makeup.
00:21:58 #247 Will you tell me what to get
00:21:59 #248 in order to help me put it on?
00:22:00 #249 Well, you don't exactly need any makeup.
00:22:02 #250 You see, it's not really a picture job.
00:22:05 #251 It's... well, it's being a waitress.
00:22:10 #252 Oh.
00:22:12 #253 Well, it's kind of a picture job
00:22:14 #254 if you look at it, right?
00:22:16 #255 You said it was a waitress.
00:22:18 #256 Well, it's waitress and for Casey Burke,
00:22:20 #257 the big director of Rdars Studio.
00:22:22 #258 He's given a party tonight
00:22:23 #259 tonight to kind of celebrate on the kind of finish in the picture and he wanted me
00:22:28 #260 to get him an extra waitress and it's five dollars and I thought of you right away
00:22:32 #261 yesterday. Well there's gonna be a lot of big people at Bert's house tonight I'll
00:22:40 #262 bet you there's any number of big directors and if you're there maybe
00:22:43 #263 they'll notice you. I could make them notice me. Sure you could ask her it's your chance.
00:22:50 #264 But I can't. I haven't got the right things to wear.
00:22:58 #265 To wear? Oh, yes.
00:23:03 #266 Now, you don't think the wardrobe department's right next to my office for nothing, do you?
00:23:07 #267 Ha-ha! A perfect fit!
00:23:10 #268 Did you get to the preview last night?
00:23:27 #269 I did.
00:23:28 #270 Would you like a lethal order?
00:23:35 #271 They are very nice.
00:23:37 #272 Oh, thanks.
00:23:39 #273 What did you think of the picture?
00:23:41 #274 They should have saved it for Thanksgiving. What a turkey.
00:23:44 #275 You have some Ardèves. You do like Ardèves, don't you?
00:23:54 #276 I don't think there's anything so enjoyable as Ardèves before supper.
00:23:58 #277 And these are really delightful.
00:24:01 #278 And at the finish, the kid turns around and sings along a bit of its mother.
00:24:15 #279 Pardon the big boy. But would you like a little Ardèves?
00:24:21 #280 They say they're the best.
00:24:25 #281 Don't tell me. I know. May West.
00:24:28 #282 That's a great twist.
00:24:30 #283 But where are you going to find a two-month-old baby that can sing?
00:24:33 #284 Hello, Oliver.
00:24:37 #285 Hello, Casey.
00:24:38 #286 If you want to fire me now, wait till you see the picture.
00:24:41 #287 I'm not a director anymore.
00:24:42 #288 I'm a male nurse.
00:24:44 #289 What's the matter with the picture?
00:24:45 #290 Guy by the name of Norman Maine.
00:24:48 #291 His work is beginning to interfere with his drinking.
00:24:51 #292 Don't tell me I'm to direct his next picture, too.
00:24:56 #293 Mm-hmm.
00:24:57 #294 You were my favorite producer.
00:24:59 #295 No, wait a minute. You just go right on with your directing.
00:25:02 #296 I'll take care of these stars.
00:25:04 #297 I know how to handle them.
00:25:05 #298 I had a serious talk with Norman after that Hollywood border currents,
00:25:09 #299 and you don't have to worry any more about his behavior.
00:25:11 #300 Excuse me, Mr. Niles.
00:25:13 #301 Mr. Libby of your publicist's apartment is on the telephone.
00:25:15 #302 He said his boosts important, sir.
00:25:17 #303 It's about Mr. Mead. Thank you.
00:25:20 #304 Oh, it's probably just some little thing.
00:25:24 #305 Of course, Arthur.
00:25:26 #306 I'll turn on the radio and see if they've called out the National Guard yet.
00:25:30 #307 Hello, Libby. What's the good word?
00:25:33 #308 Mr. Norman Maine, America's Prince Charming,
00:25:37 #309 was apprehended driving an ambulance down Wilshire Boulevard
00:25:41 #310 with a siren going full blast.
00:25:44 #311 He explained he was a tree sage, not a maternity case.
00:25:47 #312 Well, will it be in the papers?
00:25:49 #313 No, it won't be in the papers.
00:25:51 #314 But that's a nice, expensive hobby of yours,
00:25:54 #315 keeping Mr. Maines' informal entertainments
00:25:56 #316 out of the public press.
00:25:58 #317 Oh, that's fine work, Libby.
00:26:01 #318 Now, try and see that no one gets to Norman.
00:26:03 #319 He's probably home sleeping at all.
00:26:05 #320 All of them.
00:26:07 #321 Why can't you forget those dopes at the studio for one night?
00:26:10 #322 Business, business all the time.
00:26:12 #323 I don't know what's gonna become of you.
00:26:13 #324 Oh, well...
00:26:17 #325 why didn't you call for me?
00:26:20 #326 Well, by telling you, I didn't. I called for you.
00:26:22 #327 In case you forgot, I was supposed to come here with you.
00:26:25 #328 Oh, that's all right. I got here without any trouble.
00:26:28 #329 The only reason I don't slap your face.
00:26:30 #330 Yes, darling, I know.
00:26:32 #331 Hello, John. Oh, hello, man.
00:26:34 #332 What's the matter with Oliver? He looks if he had bad news.
00:26:37 #333 Hello. Hello, Mary.
00:26:40 #334 What's the matter, old boy?
00:26:42 #335 Maybe I'm wrong. I guess I've been drinking too much lately.
00:26:45 #336 No, you ought to cut it down. It's bad stuff.
00:26:47 #337 Scott and Soda.
00:26:48 #338 The word you know is pronounced when.
00:26:58 #339 Bad dialogue, Oliver.
00:27:01 #340 You'd rather not watch this.
00:27:03 #341 You're no best.
00:27:05 #342 Soda! Thank you. Go ahead and say it.
00:27:10 #343 I've got a comment for you.
00:27:17 #344 Don't make it tougher on me, Norman.
00:27:19 #345 I don't want to stand here and preach.
00:27:21 #346 I'm trying to make pictures with you.
00:27:23 #347 I know, I know.
00:27:24 #348 Costs are going up and the grosses are going down.
00:27:26 #349 No, it isn't that.
00:27:27 #350 I've made lots of money with you.
00:27:28 #351 And I can afford to take a loss.
00:27:30 #352 But I hate to see you going the way of so many others.
00:27:32 #353 Why don't you get Lloyds to ensure you were Keston?
00:27:35 #354 You can't get insurance against a man forgetting who he is.
00:27:38 #355 You're a great star, Norman, but there's nobody so big
00:27:40 #356 that you can afford to have people refuse to work with him.
00:27:42 #357 Who doesn't want to work with me?
00:27:43 #358 Shhh! Quiet.
00:27:44 #359 Mr. I know plenty of people who do.
00:27:46 #360 Yes, and so do I.
00:27:47 #361 But you real friends can't stand it.
00:27:49 #362 a soda why but you real friends can't stand seeing you start to fall apart what
00:27:53 #363 you mean by that the first signs are always the same not being able to remember
00:27:57 #364 your lines cameraman struggling to cover your hangovers and all because you have
00:28:01 #365 to have a good time every day and every night this and I've warned you for a
00:28:04 #366 long time over you're a swell guy you won't lose any money on me I promise you
00:28:08 #367 that I'll be ready for the curtains when the time comes when it does here's
00:28:15 #368 my appetite and now I think I'll have a little drink
00:28:23 #369 Gotcha and soda and soda
00:28:49 #370 No, thank you. Yes, I pardon me. No, I mean the caveat
00:29:00 #371 No, don't go away. I'm starving. I'm sorry. Which would you take? I don't know
00:29:10 #372 You know, I don't know either
00:29:12 #373 It's hard to choose. I think I'll take caveat. Mr. Maine doesn't care for anymore
00:29:18 #374 Do you know me?
00:29:19 #375 Well, normally he doesn't care for anymore.
00:29:24 #376 I think I shall get very drunk indeed.
00:29:30 #377 Scotch and so...
00:29:31 #378 Sorry, I have something to do.
00:29:39 #379 Mind if I help you?
00:29:41 #380 Won't they miss you?
00:29:59 #381 Oh, no, no.
00:30:05 #382 They'll just look under the table,
00:30:07 #383 and when they see I'm not there,
00:30:08 #384 they'll forget the whole matter.
00:30:10 #385 Hey, what, uh...
00:30:15 #386 What's your name?
00:30:16 #387 Etublagem.
00:30:17 #388 My name's Mayne.
00:30:18 #389 I know.
00:30:19 #390 You do?
00:30:20 #391 Ah, so funny.
00:30:22 #392 I would just think you're a good girl.
00:30:28 #393 I was just thinking about all your fans and how surprised they'd be to see you here helping me put plates away
00:30:33 #394 Oh, they don't know my finer side. He'd be pretty envious of me meeting you this way in person
00:30:41 #395 Well tell me are you disappointed?
00:30:45 #396 Yes
00:30:48 #397 Now you've done it. Oh never mind that that makes the room look lived in
00:30:53 #398 Tell me you know why why are you disappointed?
00:30:59 #399 I was sitting behind you at the Hollywood Bowl the night you didn't want to be photographed.
00:31:04 #400 Oh, I crept into many a heart, that's nice.
00:31:11 #401 Well, I could never explain this.
00:31:13 #402 You know, you have very pretty hair.
00:31:15 #403 You better get over here.
00:31:16 #404 And a sensitive mouth, and a charming little temple.
00:31:19 #405 I see why you're here instead of with the rest of the guests.
00:31:22 #406 I'm just trying to be helpful.
00:31:24 #407 I see. Are you sure there's no other attraction?
00:31:27 #408 Well, it might be that my old mania for putting plates away is coming back down.
00:31:32 #409 I'm it's rather odd. I always know where I can find you.
00:31:36 #410 There's a pretty girl around. Not only odd. It's embarrassing.
00:31:39 #411 You're being deliberately insulting Norman. I put up with the moment of.
00:31:42 #412 Don't lose your temper. Remember, we must try to keep the voice low.
00:31:47 #413 I know you'll excuse us if we go on with our work.
00:31:50 #414 What you've done help me up. Are you hurt?
00:32:19 #415 No more than usual. Come on, the wounds around us.
00:32:22 #416 We got to get out of here. I can't. The dishes aren't finished.
00:32:25 #417 Oh, yes, they are.
00:32:40 #418 I bet I know what you're going to say now.
00:32:42 #419 What?
00:32:44 #420 Good night.
00:32:45 #421 Good night and thank you. Hey, wait a minute.
00:32:49 #422 Wait a minute.
00:32:51 #423 Hey, you realize that all I found out about you
00:32:55 #424 is that you foolish enough to want to go into pictures?
00:32:58 #425 But why the foolish?
00:32:59 #426 Look at you.
00:33:01 #427 Yeah, that's what I mean.
00:33:03 #428 No, I'm done.
00:33:05 #429 I'd rather like to go into this matter
00:33:07 #430 a little more thoroughly.
00:33:09 #431 Well, that's awfully nice of you.
00:33:12 #432 Why, uh...
00:33:14 #433 Why don't we, uh, go on up to my place and, uh...
00:33:17 #434 talk it off?
00:33:19 #435 Oh, no, thank you very much, but...
00:33:21 #436 I really must say good night.
00:33:24 #437 Good night.
00:33:27 #438 But you're not angry.
00:33:28 #439 No, no.
00:33:30 #440 I'm hungry.
00:33:31 #441 Well, why don't you go and get something to eat?
00:33:36 #442 Good night, Miss Bludget.
00:33:38 #443 Good night, Mr. Maine.
00:33:40 #444 Wait a minute.
00:33:41 #445 At least I can do it to see you to your door.
00:33:45 #446 Will I see you again?
00:33:50 #447 Has anyone ever told you that you're lovely?
00:33:55 #448 Well, now you know.
00:33:57 #449 It's hard to say, but I want to say it anyway.
00:34:11 #450 You know, I'm a screen, and I'm a...
00:34:15 #451 you know.
00:34:17 #452 And private life, I mean...
00:34:20 #453 you know.
00:34:22 #454 But whatever I do, I'm...
00:34:26 #455 Whatever I do, I still respect lovely things.
00:34:30 #456 You understand?
00:34:36 #457 Yes, I think I do.
00:34:39 #458 And it doesn't that bump on my head that's doing me this.
00:34:42 #459 Well, I'm glad.
00:34:44 #460 Good night. Do you mind if I take just one more look?
00:35:02 #461 Quite impossible. I wouldn't even consider it.
00:35:15 #462 Oh, no, no. Who is it?
00:35:30 #463 Who?
00:35:31 #464 Norman, what have you done now?
00:35:35 #465 You're not in jail, are you?
00:35:37 #466 Oh, yes, I see.
00:35:43 #467 Oh, it's that again.
00:35:45 #468 I see.
00:35:47 #469 She's beautiful.
00:35:49 #470 I know, you want me to give her a screen test.
00:35:51 #471 Yeah, certainly.
00:35:53 #472 She's got wonderful possibilities.
00:35:55 #473 Oh, you know she's got something.
00:35:58 #474 You knew all the other ones had something, too.
00:36:00 #475 I tell you, Oliver,
00:36:06 #476 She's got that sincerity and an honestness and a...
00:36:09 #477 uh... sincerity and honestness that makes great actresses.
00:36:15 #478 You...
00:36:17 #479 Oliver, I am so sure of this girl
00:36:20 #480 that I want to take the test with her myself.
00:36:22 #481 Listen, Oliver, you worked hard.
00:36:27 #482 You're entitled to a break.
00:36:36 #483 Yes, I heard you.
00:36:37 #484 Anything. Anything!
00:36:39 #485 Yes! Yes!
00:36:42 #486 Yeah, all of it, but you try to get a little steep now, old man.
00:36:50 #487 Good night.
00:36:56 #488 Come on, buck.
00:37:21 #489 Hello, phone.
00:38:46 #490 For me?
00:38:48 #491 Some girl I'm trying to be funny says she's Norman Mann.
00:38:57 #492 And this budget, would you give him the message for me?
00:39:01 #493 Tell her it's three o'clock in the morning!
00:39:04 #494 What do you think? I'm going to take a test tomorrow
00:39:53 #495 and Norman Mann's helping me do it.
00:39:55 #496 I'm taking one, too.
00:39:58 #497 The garbless assisting me.
00:40:17 #498 Would it still come out more?
00:40:31 #499 No, all the aches.
00:40:32 #500 Is this right to huck you, Haley?
00:40:34 #501 Okay, but put down on the backlight.
00:40:36 #502 Put a double on that 90.
00:40:38 #503 Put it down a little.
00:40:40 #504 That's it.
00:40:44 #505 Get it worth it.
00:40:54 #506 Put on that 150.
00:40:58 #507 Okay.
00:41:04 #508 This is gentlemen, please, if you don't mind.
00:41:13 #509 This is just a tent. Ready, Mr. Burke?
00:41:19 #510 Ready, Mr. Burke?
00:41:21 #511 Ready, Mr. Burke. Let's take it.
00:41:31 #512 Ready, Norman? Yeah.
00:41:41 #513 You ready, Miss, sir? What's your name?
00:41:43 #514 Don't know your name, Mr. The whole world's going to know it.
00:41:49 #515 But I'm so scared. My dad did not try to do it.
00:41:52 #516 Oh, come on. Don't be foolish. They all had to go through this.
00:41:55 #517 Harlow, Lombard, Montaloy, and now...
00:41:59 #518 I'm ready.
00:42:05 #519 This is a take, Groome, quiet.
00:42:08 #520 I may as well tell you that my whole organization thinks I've gone a little nuts to sign you.
00:42:21 #521 Maybe they're right, I've been nuts before.
00:42:24 #522 You see, all the experts seem to think that your type is a little mild for present-day taste.
00:42:29 #523 But I rather believe that tastes change, like eyebrows.
00:42:32 #524 And I think that also like eyebrows tastes like going back to the natural.
00:42:35 #525 You look like a nice girl.
00:42:37 #526 I think I'm going to like you.
00:42:41 #527 That's not important.
00:42:43 #528 I think the public will like you. That is important.
00:42:46 #529 Yes. I see what you mean. I mean, I know it is.
00:42:50 #530 Well, you don't think it's going to be easy.
00:42:52 #531 Nothing you really want is ever given away free.
00:42:54 #532 You have to pay for it.
00:42:56 #533 And usually with your heart.
00:42:58 #534 Someone else told me that one.
00:43:02 #535 But you still have to work it out for yourself.
00:43:04 #536 Oh, hello. This is just a long way of saying.
00:43:07 #537 I'm glad you're with us and good luck to you.
00:43:09 #538 And now I'm going to turn you over to our demon presage and Libby.
00:43:12 #539 Don't let him frighten you.
00:43:14 #540 He has a heart of gold, only harder.
00:43:19 #541 And for the love of Pete, learn to close your mouth
00:43:21 #542 and keep it closed, even in your love scenes.
00:43:37 #543 Are you a Russian?
00:43:39 #544 No, I was born in Fillmore, North Dakota.
00:43:41 #545 Oh, no.
00:43:43 #546 Free so a light of day, in a mountain cabin,
00:43:47 #547 a trap is hut, high up in the Rockies.
00:43:54 #548 I always wanted to be an actress.
00:43:56 #549 Dreamed of footlights as lonely kitty.
00:44:01 #550 Are you sure there's no Russian in your family?
00:44:03 #551 Positive.
00:44:04 #552 That's a shame.
00:44:05 #553 Well, what does your father do?
00:44:07 #554 He's a farmer.
00:44:10 #555 Social Registraride Father.
00:44:13 #556 Fed up with hypocrisies of 400,
00:44:16 #557 sought wilderness for consolation.
00:44:19 #558 There amidst the mountain flowers,
00:44:21 #559 he raised another blossom.
00:44:23 #560 His lovely little daughter.
00:44:25 #561 What's your name?
00:44:27 #562 Esther Victoria Blanchett.
00:44:36 #563 Greatly appreciating your attention in this matter,
00:44:38 #564 Do you know what her name is?
00:44:40 #565 Esther Victoria Blodgett.
00:44:44 #566 He will have to do something about that right away.
00:44:47 #567 Esther Victoria.
00:44:51 #568 Well, that blodgett's definitely out.
00:44:55 #569 Let's see, uh, Esther Victoria, Victoria.
00:44:58 #570 Vicki, how about Vicki?
00:44:59 #571 Oh, I think that's terribly cute.
00:45:00 #572 Let's see Vicki. Vicki what?
00:45:02 #573 Vicki Vicki, pronounced Vicki, Vicki.
00:45:06 #574 See Esther, best assessor, best assessor.
00:45:12 #575 Oh, that's very pretty.
00:45:16 #576 Justa, Hester, Dexter, Lester, Vicki Lester.
00:45:18 #577 Oh, I like that.
00:45:19 #578 Say it.
00:45:20 #579 Vicki Lester.
00:45:21 #580 Say it again.
00:45:22 #581 Vicki Lester.
00:45:23 #582 Say it again.
00:45:24 #583 Vicki Lester.
00:45:25 #584 Say it.
00:45:26 #585 Vicki Lester.
00:45:27 #586 Say Vicki Lester.
00:45:28 #587 Vicki Lester.
00:45:36 #588 Alvin Hyles Studio discovers new Stalin, a Cinderella of the Rockies.
00:45:40 #589 Her name is Vicki Lester.
00:45:42 #590 Those who have peaked tell me she couldn't be more the moon.
00:45:45 #591 The face of an angel and such natural talents.
00:45:48 #592 Her voice is a symphony.
00:45:50 #593 Her very walk, they tell me, is enough to drive men mad.
00:45:53 #594 Not that way.
00:45:58 #595 Get the lead out of your feet. Let them up.
00:46:00 #596 That's better. It's terrible, but it's better.
00:46:13 #597 The quality of mercy is not strange.
00:46:16 #598 It dropeth as the gentle rain from heaven.
00:46:18 #599 Peace. Through the mouth, my child, through the mouth.
00:46:22 #600 The nose is for smelling roses.
00:46:25 #601 Proceed.
00:46:26 #602 Does she have to look surprised all the time?
00:46:34 #603 Anyway, it's just a rough sketch.
00:46:41 #604 Pretty small mouth, isn't it?
00:46:43 #605 Give her that crawford smear.
00:46:52 #606 This will give her that deep, meh.
00:47:02 #607 We're on the wrong track.
00:47:11 #608 She still looks surprised.
00:47:13 #609 Mr. Druck people, we're shooting on the steps this morning.
00:47:21 #610 Not in the commentary.
00:47:22 #611 Now come on, stop it, boy!
00:47:24 #612 Mr. Drucking company?
00:47:30 #613 No.
00:47:31 #614 Mr. Smith is not in.
00:47:33 #615 Back me, Drucking company.
00:47:41 #616 Oh, no.
00:47:43 #617 Mr. Smith is not in.
00:47:45 #618 Good morning.
00:47:55 #619 What can I bring you, Mr. Main?
00:47:57 #620 I had just shown how long you've been here.
00:47:59 #621 Never bless you.
00:48:01 #622 How soon are you and I going to be married?
00:48:03 #623 I don't know. You'll have to ask my mother.
00:48:06 #624 Me trucking company?
00:48:17 #625 No, Mr. Smythe is not in.
00:48:21 #626 Me trucking company?
00:48:27 #627 No, Mr. Smith is not in.
00:48:30 #628 No, Smith ain't in.
00:48:36 #629 Me trucking company?
00:48:50 #630 I speak to Mr. Smith.
00:48:51 #631 Mr. Smith is not...
00:48:53 #632 No, man.
00:48:55 #633 What's all this between you and Smith?
00:48:56 #634 you and Smith. It's only one line but it's in the picture. It's ambition that made
00:49:01 #635 you break that date with me last night. I had to be here so early this morning. So did
00:49:05 #636 I. I had to stay up all night to make it. You started your picture haven't you. No
00:49:11 #637 we're still in the testing stage you can't seem to get the right girl for the
00:49:15 #638 lead. You think that all the girls there are. This one's got to be different.
00:49:21 #639 She's got to be little and cute and sweet and intelligent.
00:49:26 #640 Blow me down.
00:49:30 #641 Why?
00:49:30 #642 Or close my tired old eyes.
00:49:32 #643 What is it?
00:49:33 #644 Hold everything. Come on.
00:49:35 #645 Come on.
00:49:41 #646 And you've been through the whole casting directory.
00:49:43 #647 I worked day and night, Mr. Nile.
00:49:44 #648 And I worked with her, Oliver.
00:49:45 #649 And I can be mean or nasty or anything you want, Mr. Nile.
00:49:48 #650 If she clicks Oliver, you've got a star overnight.
00:49:52 #651 OK.
00:50:32 #652 Wait till you hear them at the end of the picture.
00:50:34 #653 Who we noticed?
00:51:04 #654 By no one.
00:51:05 #655 They're much too busy playing at croquet.
00:51:10 #656 I've loved you all my life.
00:51:13 #657 But we only met two days ago.
00:51:16 #658 That's when my life began.
00:51:43 #659 You know, I think she's the same type I am, don't you?
00:51:45 #660 I think she's sweet.
00:51:46 #661 Well, that's Vicki Lester's picture all right.
00:51:48 #662 I think she was much better than he was.
00:51:50 #663 These producers are so horribly dumb.
00:51:52 #664 They won't know how good she is.
00:51:53 #665 Well, maybe it's because she's a good girl.
00:51:55 #666 No, it means that's so bad, but it's Vicki Lester
00:51:59 #667 that we go to see.
00:52:00 #668 Vicki, darling, I think she's the most precious little thing
00:52:02 #669 I've ever seen.
00:52:03 #670 Oh, no.
00:52:05 #671 Knockout Libby you might mention that when you write your review that lester kids
00:52:09 #672 a gold mine didn't you like Norman Maine was he in it. I'm afraid we have another
00:52:17 #673 hit it's in the bag neatly tied up with beautiful pink ribbons they were Norman
00:52:22 #674 a biggie I don't know I thought you had a wish they'd come having a party to
00:52:25 #675 talk about it isn't it really ready to wait for people you know I mean it's so
00:52:32 #676 exciting so new a star is born come on then wonderful isn't it
00:52:48 #677 Crazy quilt.
00:52:49 #678 It's a carpet that's spread for you.
00:52:54 #679 All yours from now on, you know?
00:52:59 #680 Comet, you're a success.
00:53:02 #681 You'll have everything in the world you want.
00:53:05 #682 You'll make you happy.
00:53:09 #683 I've met you.
00:53:10 #684 Then it was one thing I never had.
00:53:16 #685 Lots of times I told myself I'd found it,
00:53:19 #686 but I always knew I was lying.
00:53:21 #687 Still, I never stopped looking for it.
00:53:27 #688 Maybe it'll come.
00:53:29 #689 I think it has come, Esther.
00:53:31 #690 I only wish it went too late.
00:53:34 #691 But it's not too late.
00:53:36 #692 The more you're alive, the way I've thrown away mine.
00:53:42 #693 And have anything left that's good enough.
00:53:44 #694 No.
00:53:45 #695 You can.
00:53:47 #696 No, I mean you can.
00:53:49 #697 You mustn't tell me that, Esther.
00:53:53 #698 I'm so afraid that I'll believe it.
00:53:57 #699 Shoot your right.
00:54:20 #700 Watch the back.
00:54:22 #701 Can't you hear me? Got you!
00:54:24 #702 Shoot!
00:54:38 #703 That reminds me, will you marry me?
00:54:42 #704 Thank you.
00:54:43 #705 You...
00:54:46 #706 Finish him!
00:54:47 #707 Why won't you marry him?
00:54:48 #708 Are you not dependable?
00:54:49 #709 Hey, shoot your leg!
00:54:50 #710 Throw away your money!
00:54:51 #711 Break him up in there!
00:54:52 #712 Break him up!
00:54:55 #713 Drink so much!
00:54:56 #714 Or as I quit drinking.
00:54:57 #715 Yeah?
00:54:58 #716 Come on!
00:54:59 #717 Gosh!
00:55:00 #718 They shoot their leg in there!
00:55:01 #719 They're late!
00:55:03 #720 Or as I save my money.
00:55:04 #721 Yeah?
00:55:31 #722 They're late!
00:55:32 #723 They're dependable on all occasions.
00:55:33 #724 Yeah?
00:55:34 #725 You know them.
00:55:35 #726 But, yeah...
00:55:36 #727 Would you do all that for me if I said I'd marry you?
00:55:37 #728 No, certainly not.
00:55:38 #729 I was just supposing.
00:55:39 #730 We're going to be married.
00:55:44 #731 I didn't read that line. I'll try it again.
00:55:50 #732 We are going to be married.
00:55:52 #733 Both of us.
00:55:53 #734 To each other. What do you think of that?
00:55:56 #735 When? Where?
00:55:57 #736 We thought we'd elope in the conventional manner.
00:56:00 #737 What's the matter?
00:56:05 #738 We're trying to decide whether it's good for the studio.
00:56:07 #739 Is it?
00:56:08 #740 It is.
00:56:09 #741 And bless you, my children. What's going to happen?
00:56:12 #742 We thought we'd just sneak out sometime.
00:56:14 #743 We're not telling anyone but you.
00:56:16 #744 Listen to this.
00:56:17 #745 The Queen's ideal romance blossomed into breathtaking reality today
00:56:21 #746 when Vicki Lester and Norman Maine, America's dream lovers,
00:56:24 #747 slipped quietly through the portals of holy matrimony.
00:56:27 #748 How does it sound?
00:56:29 #749 Horrible.
00:56:30 #750 But you see, we're going to elope.
00:56:32 #751 Sure you are.
00:56:33 #752 It'll be the biggest elope in this town ever saw.
00:56:35 #753 We'll get a tie-up with the army.
00:56:37 #754 Have you escorted all the way down to Yuma
00:56:39 #755 by 20 of their new bombing planes?
00:56:41 #756 Is he going with us?
00:56:43 #757 Don't you think we can work this thing out better alone?
00:56:46 #758 No sense in bothering the happy couple with all the details.
00:56:49 #759 I'll see to it that you get a carbon copy of the whole layout.
00:56:52 #760 I can hardly wait.
00:56:53 #761 I'm sorry, we didn't realize that we were in the way.
00:56:56 #762 By your setland of details, you don't mind if I take this woman out and buy her a ring.
00:57:00 #763 Sure, go ahead. We want everything legal.
00:57:03 #764 That's a charming match.
00:57:06 #765 A nice girl like Vicki.
00:57:08 #766 And public nuisance number one.
00:57:10 #767 Now wait a minute, Libby. Norman's all right.
00:57:12 #768 And if you'll pardon my pointing, Vicki's business is her own.
00:57:14 #769 It doesn't require any comments.
00:57:16 #770 I wasn't making any comments.
00:57:18 #771 I just said it was a rotten shame.
00:57:19 #772 Go ahead and find the alope.
00:57:21 #773 Oh, that alopement stuff is out.
00:57:22 #774 You can't get any scope in that.
00:57:25 #775 We're going to have a wedding.
00:57:27 #776 Well, we have it.
00:57:28 #777 Customary place, I believe, is a church.
00:57:30 #778 Nah, it's been done.
00:57:32 #779 This has got to be something big.
00:57:35 #780 The beach.
00:57:36 #781 I can visualize it.
00:57:38 #782 The bridesmaids in bathing suits.
00:57:40 #783 20,000 Santa Monica school children
00:57:43 #784 spelling out the word love.
00:57:48 #785 novelty but is it big enough why not the city hall a police escort of every motorcycle
00:57:55 #786 cup in town sirens screaming confetti pouring out of buildings like the
00:57:59 #787 Lindbergh reception in New York only on a big scale what's the matter isn't it big
00:58:07 #788 enough and now if any man can show just cause why these two may not be lawfully
00:58:12 #789 joined together let him now speak or else hereafter forever hold his peace do
00:58:17 #790 Do you, Alfred Henkel, take this woman as your lawful wedded wife?
00:58:22 #791 Will you love, comfort, honor, and keep her in sickness and health, as long as you both
00:58:25 #792 shall live?
00:58:26 #793 I will.
00:58:27 #794 I beg your pardon.
00:58:28 #795 Do you, Esther Blodgett, take this man as your lawful wedded husband?
00:58:32 #796 Will you obey, serve, love, honor, and keep him in sickness and health, as long as
00:58:36 #797 you both shall live?
00:58:37 #798 I will.
00:58:39 #799 Place the ring on her finger.
00:58:41 #800 Hurry, please.
00:58:46 #801 Now, by virtue of the power invested in me, as just as the piece of San Bardo township
00:58:50 #802 County of Los Angeles. I pronounce you man and wife.
00:58:54 #803 And now I must exercise my prerogative of office.
00:59:11 #804 I hope you'll be very happy, Mrs. Hinkel.
00:59:13 #805 Thank you.
00:59:14 #806 Thank you, sir. Thank you very much.
00:59:17 #807 Now if you'll please sign the license.
00:59:19 #808 Oh, yeah.
00:59:21 #809 You know, Mrs. Hinkel, I can't help but believe
00:59:24 #810 I've seen you somewhere before.
00:59:26 #811 Oh, really? Well, I believe this is the first time
00:59:29 #812 I've ever been in a Sambardo.
00:59:31 #813 You know your face is familiar too. Really?
00:59:34 #814 Thank you very much.
00:59:35 #815 Here's your receipt.
00:59:36 #816 Thank you.
00:59:37 #817 Goodbye.
00:59:39 #818 See you again.
00:59:40 #819 Goodbye.
00:59:41 #820 No, I don't.
00:59:42 #821 I'll see.
00:59:43 #822 I think you got by with it.
00:59:45 #823 But it was close.
00:59:46 #824 That JP was just beginning to remember where he'd seen us.
00:59:48 #825 Well anyway, we got away from Libby.
00:59:55 #826 If you will be kind enough to glance between my shoulder blades, Mr. and Mrs. Hankel,
01:00:01 #827 you will find there a knife buried to the hilt.
01:00:04 #828 On the handle are your initials.
01:00:05 #829 Let me do a senior, LeBee.
01:00:07 #830 Hold it, Danny!
01:00:08 #831 There go a couple of rats I raised for mice.
01:00:21 #832 Well, they got a right to get married, haven't they?
01:00:24 #833 I haven't got any right to double-cross the public.
01:00:26 #834 And I haven't done it yet.
01:00:28 #835 Hey!
01:00:29 #836 People versus porky Washington.
01:00:32 #837 With George with my leading section, 600...
01:00:34 #838 You're a man, you're a contempt of court!
01:00:36 #839 Operator, get me the Los Angeles Tribune.
01:00:38 #840 I have a good mind to put you under arrest.
01:00:40 #841 Wait and I'll make the score.
01:00:42 #842 You wait, too.
01:00:44 #843 Tribune, give me the city desk.
01:00:47 #844 Johnny, this is Matt Libby. I got a flash for you.
01:00:50 #845 Norman Maine and Vicki Lester were married at 2.30 this afternoon.
01:00:54 #846 Vicki Lester, court recess!
01:00:57 #847 I don't want to sound immodest, but I think I've stripped a gear.
01:02:29 #848 Well, sit down, Moch, you and let's get acquainted.
01:02:31 #849 We'll probably be seeing quite a bit of each other from now on.
01:02:34 #850 No.
01:02:35 #851 I just as well break the ice now as later.
01:02:38 #852 Hey, have I got time for a shower before dinner?
01:02:51 #853 Lenny, if you can find a shower.
01:02:53 #854 I never can remember where that thing is.
01:02:54 #855 Does it pull out or slide under?
01:02:57 #856 Here, I think I can find it.
01:02:58 #857 No, it's a learn closet.
01:03:00 #858 Here it is.
01:03:02 #859 Nice work.
01:03:03 #860 Oh, half the time those things are just luck.
01:03:06 #861 I'll see if I can disinfect this stake.
01:03:19 #862 Esther, there's no soap.
01:03:22 #863 Here. Esther. Yes, dear?
01:03:28 #864 I'll need a washcloth.
01:03:31 #865 How do you fix the cigarette?
01:03:33 #866 You know I never smoke underwater.
01:03:35 #867 What do I do to make this thing work?
01:03:42 #868 Pull that gadget at the top and pray for rain.
01:03:48 #869 I can't reach it. I can't get my hands up.
01:03:52 #870 If you're going in there with your arms down,
01:03:53 #871 you'll never get your back, unless you're a contortionist.
01:03:57 #872 Yeah, well, I'm not a contortionist,
01:03:58 #873 and don't throw that up to me now.
01:04:00 #874 You knew it when you married me.
01:04:03 #875 Can you close this door for me?
01:04:10 #876 Thank you.
01:04:28 #877 Quick, quiet.
01:04:29 #878 Quick, go out and stop them and ask for help.
01:04:31 #879 Oh, I'll catch cold.
01:04:33 #880 Oh, you'll get warm again.
01:04:34 #881 Yeah, don't you recognize me?
01:04:36 #882 Now, don't keep your face down. Go on.
01:04:38 #883 There may not be another car for weeks.
01:04:39 #884 All right.
01:04:45 #885 Howdy, partner.
01:04:46 #886 Howdy.
01:04:46 #887 Stuck?
01:04:47 #888 Yeah, how'd you guess it?
01:04:49 #889 Can you get us some help?
01:04:51 #890 Well, I reckon not.
01:04:52 #891 You know, it's a long way to town.
01:04:53 #892 We're pretty busy down the place.
01:04:54 #893 Well, I got to get out of here.
01:04:56 #894 I've got my wife with me.
01:04:57 #895 Would she like the country?
01:04:58 #896 No.
01:04:59 #897 Well, and we're short of food.
01:05:01 #898 There's a lot of game in them woods.
01:05:03 #899 Well, my wife can't shoot.
01:05:04 #900 Well, you're sure up against it.
01:05:06 #901 Sorry I can't do anything for you.
01:05:07 #902 Wait, listen, I'll be frank with you.
01:05:09 #903 I'm Norman Maine.
01:05:11 #904 Who?
01:05:12 #905 Norman Maine.
01:05:13 #906 My name's Judd Baker.
01:05:14 #907 Glad to have met you.
01:05:15 #908 Well, so long.
01:05:17 #909 I will.
01:05:21 #910 So you're Norman Maine.
01:05:23 #911 I got my prestige to look out for.
01:05:44 #912 I'm supposed to be the best publicity man in the racket.
01:05:47 #913 And they left themselves sick when I even
01:05:49 #914 tried to get a decent mention of Maine.
01:05:51 #915 Yes, I know how sensitive you are, Libby,
01:05:53 #916 and I don't like to see your feelings hurt.
01:05:54 #917 Thanks, boss.
01:05:55 #918 Now, Vicki, there's a dish for free space.
01:05:58 #919 But if Maine swam across the Pacific,
01:06:00 #920 The papers would keep it a secret.
01:06:02 #921 The exhibitors don't like him, the critics don't like him,
01:06:07 #922 the public don't like him, and I don't like him.
01:06:11 #923 Who likes him?
01:06:12 #924 Oh, but, darling, this is almost too much of a surprise.
01:06:24 #925 And there I was in my touching innocence,
01:06:25 #926 thinking we were going to live at the beach house.
01:06:27 #927 Oh, we'll still keep the place at Malibu.
01:06:29 #928 But this is special. This is our castle.
01:06:31 #929 It used to be in the air, you know?
01:06:32 #930 Or we'll never use any ugly words like contracts
01:06:35 #931 and pictures and careers.
01:06:37 #932 When we come in those gates, we'll check the studio outside.
01:06:41 #933 Come on, I got another little surprise for you.
01:07:00 #934 Oh, Norman, it's lovely.
01:07:03 #935 So are you lovely.
01:07:06 #936 The whole world's lovely.
01:07:17 #937 That's it.
01:07:18 #938 Their honeymoon never ends.
01:07:23 #939 All right, let's get some pictures.
01:07:25 #940 Now, if the bride will sit here
01:07:27 #941 and the grooms stand behind her,
01:07:28 #942 we'll have something unique.
01:07:33 #943 Now let's go after something different.
01:07:35 #944 You sit down and she'll stand up.
01:07:38 #945 Pretty radical, isn't it?
01:07:39 #946 Yeah, but in a nice way.
01:07:43 #947 Okay, I don't fly her.
01:07:46 #948 Their honeymoon begins in you.
01:07:49 #949 Ah, the producer.
01:07:52 #950 Caption, their honeymoon ceases abruptly.
01:07:54 #951 Hello, Oliver, glad to see you.
01:07:55 #952 No, I'm glad you're back.
01:07:56 #953 Thank you.
01:07:57 #954 Vicki, how well you're looking.
01:07:58 #955 Hello, Oliver.
01:07:59 #956 Am I interrupting?
01:08:00 #957 Yes, thank you.
01:08:01 #958 Just want a couple more pictures.
01:08:02 #959 That's enough for both of them.
01:08:03 #960 What they're asking for is exclusers of Miss Lester.
01:08:06 #961 How long?
01:08:07 #962 Oh, I see.
01:08:08 #963 Well, come on, Oliver, let you and me get exclusive.
01:08:10 #964 See you later, Vicki.
01:08:12 #965 Don't worry, Otto.
01:08:13 #966 My camera-smashing days are over.
01:08:15 #967 Yeah.
01:08:16 #968 They ain't your only days in a rover.
01:08:18 #969 Oh, hold that, Miss Lester. Gorgeous.
01:08:22 #970 Oliver? How's the dividend situation?
01:08:25 #971 Very pleasant. I think we'll show 2 million on our next quarter.
01:08:28 #972 Smart move of mine to sell my stock, eh?
01:08:31 #973 Oh, well, when you need money, you need it.
01:08:33 #974 Some people save up for just touching events.
01:08:35 #975 It's bound to be a rainy day occasionally.
01:08:37 #976 But as a citizen of California, I've always refused to admit that.
01:08:40 #977 Yes, I know, but still it does rain.
01:08:42 #978 Well, anyway, you can thank me for some of those dividends of yours.
01:08:45 #979 Mm-hmm.
01:08:46 #980 Oh, can't you?
01:08:48 #981 sure. A little too quick.
01:08:54 #982 Not a chance to always a smash it was made Vicki a star overnight
01:08:58 #983 should have. About me let's talk about business at the office Norman.
01:09:04 #984 Beautiful pool you have here you talk about it here.
01:09:08 #985 They like me I have maybe the part wasn't just right that's part of the year.
01:09:14 #986 But however. You think I'm slipping.
01:09:18 #987 Can you take it?
01:09:19 #988 Go ahead.
01:09:21 #989 The tent is wrong.
01:09:22 #990 You're not slipping.
01:09:23 #991 You've slipped.
01:09:28 #992 My fan mail's still big.
01:09:30 #993 Norman, Norman.
01:09:31 #994 Fans will write to anybody for a photograph.
01:09:33 #995 It only costs three cents for a stamp.
01:09:34 #996 And that makes photographs cheaper than wallpaper.
01:09:37 #997 But every 25 cents they pay for a theater ticket
01:09:39 #998 buys them the right to be a critic.
01:09:40 #999 And your last few performances, Norman,
01:09:42 #1000 have not pleased your critics.
01:09:48 #1001 You remember I told you I'd, uh...
01:09:51 #1002 be ready for the curtains when the time came?
01:09:55 #1003 Here it is.
01:09:59 #1004 Let's call off the contract. No hard feelings.
01:10:02 #1005 We're not quitting either of us. There's no explaining these things.
01:10:06 #1006 We've all seen how the public turns. Maybe we can turn them back.
01:10:09 #1007 I've got a swell script lined up for you.
01:10:13 #1008 About Esther, you think that I'm going to get in her way?
01:10:18 #1009 Well, as a matter of fact, as it happens, there's no part in this story for her.
01:10:22 #1010 I'd more or less plan to star her in a picture of her own.
01:10:24 #1011 With that young Pemberton opposite her. He's coming along nicely.
01:10:31 #1012 Good for young Pemberton.
01:10:37 #1013 to make a try on it.
01:10:39 #1014 Let's hope it's not too late.
01:11:07 #1015 I'll buy those.
01:11:08 #1016 Queen's most finished, Doctor.
01:11:14 #1017 I'll say he's finished.
01:11:15 #1018 Keeps him away and droves.
01:12:08 #1019 Oh, Miss Lester isn't home as yet.
01:12:12 #1020 No, I'm not the butler.
01:12:15 #1021 But I can take a message just as well as he can, honest.
01:12:18 #1022 Oh, is that you, Norman?
01:12:20 #1023 Swell.
01:12:21 #1024 Listen, Norman, this is Artie Carver.
01:12:24 #1025 Hiya, kid.
01:12:25 #1026 Swell.
01:12:27 #1027 Say, I hear you through with all of her nails.
01:12:30 #1028 Is that on the level?
01:12:31 #1029 Oh, please, Artie, I'm not news anymore.
01:12:34 #1030 Forget it.
01:12:35 #1031 Say, what kind of a settlement did you make on your contract?
01:12:38 #1032 Give me a figure so I can do a story on it.
01:12:41 #1033 There was no money involved.
01:12:42 #1034 We just called it quits.
01:12:43 #1035 OK, OK.
01:12:45 #1036 I'll fill in my own figure.
01:12:47 #1037 Say, by the way, I've been trying
01:12:49 #1038 to get an interview with Vicki for two weeks,
01:12:51 #1039 but she's always busy.
01:12:52 #1040 How about you giving an old pal a break
01:12:55 #1041 by speaking to her for me?
01:12:57 #1042 Sure, I'll ask her.
01:12:58 #1043 Swallow.
01:13:00 #1044 So long.
01:13:01 #1045 Ha ha.
01:13:01 #1046 Stay doubting the chasing one.
01:13:16 #1047 All right.
01:13:17 #1048 You're here now.
01:13:18 #1049 What's new today?
01:13:21 #1050 Nothing.
01:13:21 #1051 Haven't been out of the house.
01:13:24 #1052 Let's go somewhere tonight.
01:13:26 #1053 You're a little late. You're tired.
01:13:27 #1054 We'll stay here.
01:13:28 #1055 I'm not tired, really.
01:13:30 #1056 Yes, you are.
01:13:32 #1057 You've got a hard day ahead of you.
01:13:34 #1058 Anyway, I see so little of you.
01:13:35 #1059 I'd like to have you to myself.
01:13:37 #1060 But it's the servant's night out. We haven't any news.
01:13:39 #1061 Yes, we have.
01:13:40 #1062 I fixed a little snack with my own lily-white hands.
01:13:44 #1063 I'm learning to cook in my spare time.
01:13:48 #1064 I think I'll marry you.
01:13:49 #1065 I want to make an honest cook of me.
01:13:56 #1066 Comes in on wheels and this joint.
01:14:20 #1067 How's it look?
01:14:22 #1068 Wonderful.
01:14:23 #1069 That's what I thought.
01:14:28 #1070 Don't be formal, just spit in.
01:14:34 #1071 I'm afraid my mouth's not quite big enough.
01:14:48 #1072 I'll measure it next time.
01:14:51 #1073 We'll make them to size.
01:14:53 #1074 A little hard to lift, too.
01:14:58 #1075 Those measurements right now.
01:15:00 #1076 What do I wait for?
01:15:13 #1077 All day.
01:15:14 #1078 That's why I wish home without even changing my costume.
01:15:23 #1079 Well, forgetting that we're hungry.
01:15:25 #1080 You like the sandwich?
01:15:27 #1081 Thank you, I gotta have a little work on this one.
01:15:41 #1082 No, I'm gonna read you on hook my desk.
01:15:42 #1083 I can't breathe.
01:15:46 #1084 You know, all the time I thought it was the kiss
01:15:48 #1085 that made you breathless.
01:15:49 #1086 A lot of hooks, huh?
01:15:52 #1087 Why don't you have a zipper?
01:15:53 #1088 That's a good idea.
01:15:56 #1089 You better?
01:15:57 #1090 Yes.
01:16:08 #1091 Don't look now, but I think that guy on your left
01:16:12 #1092 is in love with you.
01:16:14 #1093 I hope so.
01:16:31 #1094 Is this?
01:16:32 #1095 Maybe they'll go away.
01:16:34 #1096 Oh, I never do at a time like this.
01:16:37 #1097 Come here.
01:16:39 #1098 Just a minute, yeah?
01:16:40 #1099 I'll be right back.
01:16:49 #1100 Does Vicki Lester live here? Yes.
01:16:50 #1101 I got a package for him.
01:16:52 #1102 I'll sign for him.
01:16:52 #1103 So who are you?
01:16:55 #1104 I'm her husband.
01:16:56 #1105 Oh, sure.
01:16:57 #1106 I'm right here, Mr. Lester.
01:16:59 #1107 I can't feel.
01:17:23 #1108 And by the way, I forgot to tell you, uh...
01:17:26 #1109 they want you for a...
01:17:28 #1110 benefit, a shrine auditorium next Wednesday night.
01:17:31 #1111 I told them I'd ask you. And uh...
01:17:34 #1112 Oh darling, uh, I don't wanna hear about that now.
01:17:36 #1113 Well you better wait till I finish for it, forget them all.
01:17:39 #1114 Oh...
01:17:41 #1115 The Academy dinner secretary phoned.
01:17:43 #1116 She wants to know if you want a table reserved for you.
01:17:48 #1117 Oh yes, Artie Carver called.
01:17:51 #1118 And I asked if I'd use my influence with you to get him an interview.
01:17:54 #1119 I told him I'd try.
01:17:56 #1120 Norman, yes, don't talk about those things now.
01:18:04 #1121 We're forgetting the wonderful suits you prepared.
01:18:07 #1122 I'm not very hungry now.
01:18:10 #1123 I think I'll, uh, have a little drink.
01:18:13 #1124 I'll just know when you come.
01:18:35 #1125 Stop worrying.
01:18:37 #1126 And think how nice that statuette's going to look on your metal piece.
01:18:39 #1127 Are you supposed to anything happen to him?
01:18:41 #1128 Of course not. He's just gonna help up in traffic.
01:18:43 #1129 You think about that statuette.
01:18:45 #1130 And now we arrive at the climax of the annual dinner of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
01:18:51 #1131 The highest award within our power to bestow.
01:18:54 #1132 We have already applauded with our hearts as well as our hands,
01:18:58 #1133 while awards have been given those gentlemen who during the past year have rendered distinguished service to the motion picture industry.
01:19:05 #1134 We now pay honor to the ladies, or rather to one lady.
01:19:09 #1135 We offer to her the Academy Award for the finest performance of the past year.
01:19:14 #1136 She has already had the world acclaimed,
01:19:16 #1137 but this is the tribute of her fellow workers,
01:19:19 #1138 the men and women of this industry.
01:19:21 #1139 It is not only my pleasure, but my privilege
01:19:23 #1140 to present this award to the actress
01:19:25 #1141 who created the unforgettable Anna in Dream Without End.
01:19:30 #1142 Miss Vicki Lester!
01:19:32 #1143 What more can we say, Miss Lester?
01:19:54 #1144 This says it all for us.
01:20:12 #1145 Ladies and gentlemen,
01:20:14 #1146 when something like this happens to you,
01:20:17 #1147 and you try to tell how you feel about it,
01:20:20 #1148 You find that out of all the words in the world there are only two that really mean anything
01:20:28 #1149 Thank you
01:20:30 #1150 All I can do is to say them to you for my heart
01:20:33 #1151 All I can do is to keep on saying them
01:20:42 #1152 You said the right thing I want to be the very first one to congratulate you
01:20:47 #1153 I'll let you know.
01:20:49 #1154 I'm not a valuable piece of brick of rite.
01:20:51 #1155 Now I want to make a speech.
01:20:53 #1156 Gentlemen of the Academy and fellow suckers.
01:20:57 #1157 I got one of those ones for a best performance.
01:21:00 #1158 They don't mean a thing. People get them every year.
01:21:03 #1159 But I want a special award.
01:21:05 #1160 Something nobody else can get.
01:21:07 #1161 I want a statue for the worst performance of the year.
01:21:11 #1162 In fact, I want three statues.
01:21:14 #1163 for the three worst performances of the year because I've earned them.
01:21:18 #1164 And every single one of you that saw those last masterpieces
01:21:23 #1165 are my nose that I've earned.
01:21:25 #1166 Libby, start the music.
01:21:28 #1167 What I'm here to find out is, do I get them or do I get them?
01:21:33 #1168 Answer, yes or no?
01:21:37 #1169 Tell me, darling, it's during the day.
01:21:47 #1170 Hello, Mr. Bled.
01:21:58 #1171 And say hello. Hello, and how are you?
01:22:07 #1172 Hi, Alma.
01:22:09 #1173 My dear, do let me congratulate you.
01:22:12 #1174 You must be terribly proud and happy tonight.
01:22:15 #1175 Thank you.
01:22:16 #1176 Sony, give me a drink.
01:22:26 #1177 Nice of you to come to my dressing room.
01:22:58 #1178 Vicki, how are you?
01:22:59 #1179 I've missed you. Everyone's missed you. Have a nice trip.
01:23:02 #1180 Well, the three months tour of the theater circuit
01:23:04 #1181 scares me because I'm under the head of pleasure.
01:23:06 #1182 But the way they're screaming for your pictures all over the country.
01:23:09 #1183 Miss Lester, if I may talk sharp, you are a knock-up.
01:23:12 #1184 Thank you. Good to hear that.
01:23:14 #1185 that you've been crying. A little. How's Norman. Well he's trying awfully hard on
01:23:32 #1186 letting Norman leave this studio was the hardest thing I ever did. There's nothing
01:23:37 #1187 else I could do. Has he been. Is he all right. He's gone to a sanitarium. He really
01:23:47 #1188 I want to stop drinking.
01:23:49 #1189 Now I think he could only.
01:23:51 #1190 Well, perhaps if he could start working again,
01:23:54 #1191 there would be some encouragement.
01:23:56 #1192 Oliver, could you?
01:24:00 #1193 Could you do that?
01:24:01 #1194 Thank you.
01:24:04 #1195 But he mustn't ever know I told you.
01:24:06 #1196 He won't know.
01:24:07 #1197 And you mustn't worry.
01:24:08 #1198 I want you to keep up your good work in this picture.
01:24:11 #1199 I'll try, Oliver.
01:24:12 #1200 That's the one thing I can do for you.
01:24:22 #1201 If you'll just sit here, Mr. Niles,
01:24:23 #1202 I'll have Mr. Main brought down.
01:24:25 #1203 Thank you.
01:24:26 #1204 Hello, Oliver.
01:24:45 #1205 Welcome to Liberty Hall.
01:24:47 #1206 Hello, Norman.
01:24:49 #1207 Well, no, no, Mr. Niles isn't slipping me a case of Scotch,
01:24:53 #1208 Cuddles. This is just a handshake.
01:24:56 #1209 This is Cuddles, Oliver, my social secretary.
01:24:59 #1210 We go everywhere together.
01:25:01 #1211 How are you feeling, Norman?
01:25:02 #1212 Fine.
01:25:03 #1213 Getting along remarkably well, Cuddles tells me.
01:25:05 #1214 He says you ought to see some of the boys.
01:25:07 #1215 Put it on.
01:25:10 #1216 Cuddles, we really don't need you touching,
01:25:18 #1217 isn't it?
01:25:19 #1218 That better have me out of his face.
01:25:21 #1219 Are you comfortable here, Norman?
01:25:22 #1220 Comfortable.
01:25:23 #1221 It's positively luxurious.
01:25:25 #1222 They even have fire and bars in the windows
01:25:28 #1223 to keep out the grass.
01:25:30 #1224 How much longer are you going to be here?
01:25:31 #1225 Oh, well, I'm really cured now.
01:25:33 #1226 I'm just staying on for an extra week or two
01:25:37 #1227 to get them good shape, you know?
01:25:39 #1228 After all, there's no particular hurry
01:25:42 #1229 to return to the camera.
01:25:45 #1230 That's what I wanted to talk to you about.
01:25:47 #1231 I've got a script with a fine part for you in it.
01:25:50 #1232 Yeah, well, that's great. That's great.
01:25:56 #1233 Who plays opposite me?
01:26:00 #1234 Well, it is not exactly the lead.
01:26:02 #1235 Young Pemberton's doing that.
01:26:04 #1236 But I tell you, frankly, I consider you a part better than the lead.
01:26:07 #1237 Better than the lead?
01:26:14 #1238 Well, of course, it isn't terribly long,
01:26:16 #1239 but it's one of those parts that makes an impression on you.
01:26:19 #1240 They'll be thinking about you all through the picture.
01:26:21 #1241 Well, the thing is, Oliver, I'm pretty well set of another studio.
01:26:27 #1242 I'm not at liberty at the moment to tell you which one.
01:26:30 #1243 You know yourself how those things are.
01:26:32 #1244 Of course.
01:26:33 #1245 But it's a big picture.
01:26:34 #1246 One of the biggest of the year.
01:26:35 #1247 And the pot.
01:26:37 #1248 Every actor in Hollywood would give his teeth to play.
01:26:40 #1249 Well, that's fine, Norman.
01:26:41 #1250 Naturally, that would tie you up for a while.
01:26:43 #1251 But we won't get to this picture for some time.
01:26:45 #1252 Perhaps if you want to consider it for later on, we'll be...
01:26:48 #1253 Well, I'll tell you, Oliver, you'd better not count on it.
01:26:50 #1254 I've got several pictures lined up after this one.
01:26:53 #1255 Then they're talking to me about England.
01:26:55 #1256 You know, they're doing some very interesting things over there.
01:26:59 #1257 Hey, what is it, Truddle? Speak quite out. We all love you.
01:27:03 #1258 You did it!
01:27:04 #1259 Oh, here we dine at 5.30, here. It makes the nights longer.
01:27:09 #1260 Well, goodbye, Norman.
01:27:12 #1261 I'm glad to see you're getting along so well. Be out in no time.
01:27:16 #1262 I'll have to introduce myself all over to a lot of people.
01:27:19 #1263 I'm going to kiss myself all over to a lot of people.
01:27:21 #1264 Well, know me when I'm not drinking.
01:27:24 #1265 Goodbye.
01:27:25 #1266 Thanks for dropping in.
01:27:31 #1267 Well, Cuddles, all that lies.
01:28:29 #1268 I'd see it.
01:28:33 #1269 I don't want to hate to run into these haze bins.
01:28:36 #1270 Give me the creeps.
01:28:37 #1271 Me too.
01:28:38 #1272 He was good while he had it.
01:28:40 #1273 And he had it quite a while.
01:28:43 #1274 Hello.
01:28:44 #1275 Hello, Mr. Mann. I haven't seen you in a long time.
01:28:47 #1276 I've been resting.
01:28:49 #1277 Ginger ale, please.
01:28:50 #1278 Ginger ale and what?
01:28:52 #1279 Ginger ale and ginger ale.
01:28:55 #1280 New leap?
01:28:56 #1281 A whole new book.
01:28:59 #1282 Thank you.
01:29:05 #1283 Hello, Libby.
01:29:07 #1284 Why, it's Mr. America of yesteryear.
01:29:10 #1285 Do they let you wander about now without a keeper?
01:29:14 #1286 Oh, sure, I'm a trustee now.
01:29:17 #1287 Didn't expect to find you at Santa Anita.
01:29:20 #1288 What do they do with the actors while you're away?
01:29:23 #1289 No, they cut them into slices and fry them with eggs.
01:29:31 #1290 I suppose you'll be here all the time.
01:29:34 #1291 Now that you've retired from the hurly-burly of the silver screen.
01:29:41 #1292 Living down a Malibu now, pretty lonesome with Esther
01:29:44 #1293 away working all day.
01:29:46 #1294 Why wouldn't Squawk about that if I were you?
01:29:50 #1295 It's nice to have somebody in the family making a living.
01:29:52 #1296 Oh, wait a minute, Louis.
01:29:56 #1297 I want to forget that we're friends.
01:29:57 #1298 Friends, my eye.
01:29:59 #1299 Say, listen, I got you out of jams because I had to.
01:30:02 #1300 It was my job, not because I was your friend.
01:30:04 #1301 I don't like you and I never have liked you.
01:30:06 #1302 Nothing made me happier than to see all those cute little pranks
01:30:10 #1303 of yours finally catch up with you
01:30:11 #1304 and land you on your celebrated face.
01:30:14 #1305 Very well, Phillip.
01:30:16 #1306 I always wait till they're down.
01:30:18 #1307 None tickle.
01:30:19 #1308 I don't feel sorry for you.
01:30:21 #1309 You fixed yourself nice and comfortable.
01:30:23 #1310 You can live off your wife now.
01:30:24 #1311 She'll buy you drinks and put up with you,
01:30:26 #1312 even though nobody else will.
01:30:28 #1313 Don't get up too soon.
01:30:32 #1314 Shut up.
01:30:33 #1315 Don't pick up the game.
01:30:38 #1316 Come on, son.
01:30:39 #1317 Wait a minute.
01:30:40 #1318 Wait a minute. I'm Norman Maynard.
01:30:43 #1319 That's not my fault.
01:30:44 #1320 I don't bother to trust him, Al. He's harmless.
01:30:46 #1321 All right, Mr. Levy, if you say so.
01:30:48 #1322 Sure, let him go. What can he do?
01:30:49 #1323 We can't fight any better than he can act.
01:30:51 #1324 Norman Maynard.
01:30:52 #1325 Oh, he does with you.
01:30:53 #1326 I've been talking to you.
01:31:11 #1327 Give me a spot. Double.
01:31:15 #1328 Leave the bottle here.
01:31:23 #1329 Vicki, you'll be ill. Why don't you try to get a little sleep?
01:31:26 #1330 But it's been gone four days. Four days and not a word.
01:31:35 #1331 I can't know this Oliver Niles speaking what thank you.
01:31:48 #1332 What is this nothing Oliver tell me he's in the night court he's been arrested on

01:32:19 #1340 I'll advise you that you're entitled to be represented by counsel, to be confronted by the witnesses that may testify against you,
01:32:30 #1341 to compel witnesses to attend on your behalf to a public and speedy trial by the court or by a jury, and the right to be a bit of a bail.
01:32:37 #1342 Call the first file.
01:32:39 #1343 Gregory, may I, please?
01:32:41 #1344 William Gregory.
01:32:51 #1345 Rain drunk, picked up at Fifth in town, asleep in the gutter, 14 similar offenses in the past six months.
01:33:00 #1346 Still that, and Gregory, how do you plead?
01:33:02 #1347 I don't feel so bad.
01:33:04 #1348 Unless you are you feel, I ask you how you plead.
01:33:07 #1349 Fully, I guess.
01:33:08 #1350 When did you get out the last time?
01:33:10 #1351 Just before Christmas.
01:33:14 #1352 I'm sorry you left the Miss New Year's.
01:33:15 #1353 It should be out in time for Washington's birthday.
01:33:17 #1354 Sixty days.
01:33:18 #1355 Milton Rails.
01:33:23 #1356 A plane drunk.
01:33:28 #1357 Picked up on Brooklyn Avenue.
01:33:29 #1358 Given treatment at receiving hospital.
01:33:31 #1359 Then removed to jail.
01:33:32 #1360 How old are you, Rails?
01:33:34 #1361 Seventeen, sir.
01:33:36 #1362 Did you take a good look at those men in the cell with you last night?
01:33:40 #1363 Yes, sir.
01:33:41 #1364 Have you taken a good look at yourself this morning?
01:33:44 #1365 No, sir.
01:33:45 #1366 I suggest that you do.
01:33:47 #1367 Five dollars or two days.
01:33:50 #1368 Sentence suspended.
01:33:51 #1369 Oh, Judge.
01:33:53 #1370 Alfred Henkel.
01:33:55 #1371 More commonly known as Norman Maine.
01:33:58 #1372 Uh, drunken disorderly.
01:34:00 #1373 That car in the tree at Sunset and Coronado.
01:34:02 #1374 Evidently been drinking for days.
01:34:04 #1375 Resisted arrest and injured one of the arresting officers.
01:34:07 #1376 How do you plead?
01:34:09 #1377 You're a normal man, the actor, aren't you?
01:34:13 #1378 You've come pretty low, haven't you?
01:34:18 #1379 There's no man here who's had the advantages you've had.
01:34:21 #1380 Look what you've done with them.
01:34:22 #1381 You're nothing but a near-responsible drunk,
01:34:24 #1382 driving about the streets with the power
01:34:26 #1383 to inflict death or injury on innocent people.
01:34:30 #1384 I think you better deny you that power for a while.
01:34:32 #1385 Night and day is in the city jail.
01:34:34 #1386 Please wait.
01:34:35 #1387 I'm his wife.
01:34:45 #1388 Yes, I recognize you, Miss Lester.
01:34:51 #1389 Please, Judge.
01:34:53 #1390 I promise you this won't happen again.
01:34:55 #1391 I'll be responsible for him if you just won't send him in.
01:35:02 #1392 You realize that this man, when drunk, is obviously a menace to public safety?
01:35:08 #1393 And you realize too, Miss Lester, the responsibility you'll be assuming to this court and to the count well.
01:35:15 #1394 I do.
01:35:16 #1395 Sentence suspended.
01:35:22 #1396 Here's to your matter, the custody wife.
01:35:25 #1397 Thank you.
01:35:26 #1398 You can get him at the jail, entrance madam.
01:35:30 #1399 Who's there, Rodriguez?
01:35:31 #1400 Lane Drump, picked up a person named, second of man.
01:35:37 #1401 How do you plead?
01:35:38 #1402 I think I'm guilty.
01:35:40 #1403 Your honor.
01:35:41 #1404 60 days.
01:35:42 #1405 I'm so tired.
01:36:00 #1406 Hold him into me, and pick him.
01:36:02 #1407 Oh, no, please.
01:36:03 #1408 What about a statement for the friend?
01:36:04 #1409 Oh, no, please.
01:36:05 #1410 He's gonna sleep.
01:36:21 #1411 He's thinking of no gain.
01:36:23 #1412 That's the best thing for him.
01:36:25 #1413 Oh, for the sweetest happen of someone you love.
01:36:29 #1414 And knowing your heart,
01:36:30 #1415 You can't get me there.
01:36:32 #1416 I only know that all I can do now is stay with him and try to help him.
01:36:36 #1417 So will I.
01:36:38 #1418 In between us, we'll take care of him.
01:36:40 #1419 You're very fond of the martial arts.
01:36:43 #1420 I wonder if I'm the both of them.
01:36:45 #1421 Then I know you'll understand what I have to tell you.
01:36:50 #1422 And after what happened last night, I think you already know what it is.
01:36:54 #1423 I can't do any more such things.
01:36:56 #1424 I'm going to waste the good with Norman.
01:36:58 #1425 You can't do that, Wigley.
01:37:00 #1426 You're the very thing of your success.
01:37:02 #1427 And you've worked so hard to achieve.
01:37:04 #1428 That's what's been ruined.
01:37:06 #1429 I've thought it all out.
01:37:08 #1430 Maybe if I hadn't been away from him so much last night
01:37:11 #1431 and what went to court wouldn't have happened.
01:37:14 #1432 I know it's too late to think about that now,
01:37:16 #1433 but it may not be too late to go away with him
01:37:19 #1434 and start over somewhere.
01:37:21 #1435 It's your life you're giving up, baby.
01:37:23 #1436 So I can try to give Norman back his.
01:37:28 #1437 Can you honestly tell me I'm wrong to do it?
01:37:33 #1438 Then there'll be no more.
01:37:45 #1439 Vicky Nester.
01:37:47 #1440 Well, what is it all about?
01:37:52 #1441 Goodbye to Galester.
01:38:09 #1442 You were a grand girl.
01:38:12 #1443 But luck, Mrs. Norman Maine.
01:38:14 #1444 I'm going to the Beverly Hill, pal.
01:44:40 #1445 No, when I'm needed.
01:45:06 #1446 It's after my grand-daughter, no.
01:45:12 #1447 I came just as quickly as I could.
01:45:14 #1448 But I'm going home.
01:45:15 #1449 I sent you a wire yesterday.
01:45:17 #1450 You said you're going to quit the movie.
01:45:29 #1451 I never want to hear them again.
01:45:30 #1452 I'm not running away.
01:45:39 #1453 It's just that I can't go on my heart in the middle of it.
01:45:43 #1454 Once I told you, if you get what you want, you have to give your heart an X and you were willing.
01:45:48 #1455 It seems to me that you've got more than you're bargained for.
01:45:57 #1456 More fame, more success, even more personal happiness, or unhappy.
01:46:05 #1457 Make a bargain, and now shall the finding open.
01:46:11 #1458 I don't think I'd feel so very proud of myself if I were you, Esther.
01:46:16 #1459 I'm not really.
01:46:18 #1460 My mind's made up.
01:46:20 #1461 I'm sorry I gave you the money to come out here.
01:46:22 #1462 Just wait.
01:46:23 #1463 Oh, but Granny...
01:46:24 #1464 I was proud of you, Esther.
01:46:26 #1465 I was proud to be the grandmother of Vicki Lester.
01:46:29 #1466 It gave me something to live for.
01:46:32 #1467 Now I have to end it.
01:46:34 #1468 I know.
01:46:37 #1469 I want to be strong, but I can't go on.
01:46:42 #1470 You must.
01:46:45 #1471 Tragedy is a test of courage.
01:46:47 #1472 If you can meet it bravely, it will leave you bigger than it found you.
01:46:51 #1473 If not, then you'll have to live all your life with a coward.
01:46:55 #1474 Because no matter where you may run, you can never run away from yourself.
01:46:59 #1475 I never knew Norman Maine.
01:47:04 #1476 He wrote me a very sweet letter when you were married.
01:47:07 #1477 He said you told him how much I meant to you.
01:47:11 #1478 And I know just how much you must have meant to him.
01:47:16 #1479 You know, Esther, I can't believe that whatever he is, he can be very happy knowing that his
01:47:25 #1480 death broke the spirit of the little girl he praised me so highly for raising him.
01:47:30 #1481 And I can't believe that he can be very proud knowing that all his great love did
01:47:36 #1482 for you was to make me a quitter.
01:47:43 #1483 The car is ready, Miss Esther.
01:47:45 #1484 We'll have to go now to make the train.
01:47:47 #1485 The car back in the garage.
01:47:55 #1486 The entire fiction industry has come to the Chinese theater for this opening tonight.
01:48:07 #1487 It has come to take tribute to a great star on a long awaited return to the screen.
01:48:11 #1488 It has been called for our greatest performance.
01:48:14 #1489 It has come to take tribute to the girl herself.
01:48:17 #1490 The girl who has won the heart of Hollywood.
01:48:19 #1491 The girl who has won the heart of the world.
01:48:21 #1492 Miss Vicki Lester.
01:48:23 #1493 And if I'm not mistaken, this Lester's car has jumped in enough.
01:48:28 #1494 Yes, it is she.
01:48:30 #1495 I hope this doesn't scare you too much.
01:48:47 #1496 I scare very slowly, young man.
01:48:49 #1497 Look at our boat, please.
01:48:51 #1498 Now have your mug.
01:48:58 #1499 I mean your face plastered across half the papers in the country tomorrow.
01:49:02 #1500 How do I look?
01:49:03 #1501 Oh, you look swell.
01:49:04 #1502 You're a liar, but I like you.
01:49:06 #1503 And here's Miss Lester's grandma.
01:49:08 #1504 Won't you say a few words to the radio audience, please?
01:49:11 #1505 Thanks, Aunt Ledy.
01:49:13 #1506 You know, we've got a thing like that back home where they all listen in on
01:49:17 #1507 on but we call it a party line won't you say something please they're listening
01:49:22 #1508 maybe some of you people listening in dream about coming to Hollywood maybe some
01:49:31 #1509 of you get pretty discouraged well when you do you just think about me it took
01:49:37 #1510 me over 70 60 years to get here but here I am and here I mean to stay
01:50:01 #1511 Miss Lester, this microphone is on an international hookup.
01:50:09 #1512 Throughout the world, your fans are hoping that you'll say a few words to them.
01:50:20 #1513 Hello, everybody.
01:50:22 #1514 This is Mrs. Norman Mayne.
