BETTYWell, Hello Mr. GillisWhere have you been keeping yourself?JOESomeone's been doing it for meBETTYAnd meanwhile "Blind Windows"Is stuck on the shelfYou said we'd work togetherJOENew Year's crisis, what can I say?BETTYAlways full of excusesJOEPromise I'll call you later todayBETTYYou said that last time.JOELook, Betty, I won't let you down.BETTYI guess I'll just have to trust you.SHELDRAKEYou're Miss Desmond's German Shepherd?I'm the one who's been callingThe name is Sheldrake. A couple of weeks ago,I was looking out my office window, I saw you drive onto the lot.And I said, that's exactly the car I've been looking for.Great for my new Crosby picture. So, I made a few inquiries. I've been calling for two weeks.Doesn't she ever pick up the phone? You know, outside a museum, you don't seeThat kind of quality anymore. We're willing to pay, at least a hundred dollars a week...MAXIt's outrageousYou insult herHow can you be so cruel?I forbid you to approach herSHELDRAKEYou're insaneMAXGo away.Go away!NORMADid you see how they all cameCrowding around?They still love me, and soon we'll beBreaking new groundBrave pioneersDEMILLEThose were the daysNORMAJust like beforeDEMILLEWe had such funNORMAWe gave the worldNew ways to dreamBOTHWe always found new ways to dreamDEMILLELet's have a good long talk one day.NORMAThe old team will be back in businessDEMILLESorry, my next shot's readyMAXMr. Gillis...JOEWhat's the matter, Max?MAXI just found out the reason for all those phone calls from Paramount.It's not Madame they want. It's her car.JOEOh, my God.NORMANow, you remember, don't you? I don't work before 10 or after 4:30 in the afternoon.DEMILLEIt isn't entirely my decision, Norma.
