Musicals - Sunset Boulevard - Who's Betty Schaefer? Lyrics
NORMAIs this what you're looking for, by any chance?JOEWhy, yes.NORMAWhose phone number is this?I've been worried about the line of my throat.I think this woman has done wonders with it.JOEGood.NORMAAnd I've lost half a pound since Tuesday.JOEVery good.NORMANow it's after nine. I'd better get to bed.JOEYou had.NORMAAre you coming up?JOEI think I'll read a while longer.NORMAYou went out last night, didn't you, Joe?JOEI went for a walk.NORMAYou took the car.JOEI drove to the beach.NORMAWho's Betty Schaefer?JOESurely, you don't want me to feel as if I'm a prisoner in this house?NORMAYou don't understand, Joe. I'm under such a terrible strain.It's been so hard I even got myself a revolver.The only thing that stopped me from killing myself was theThought of all those people, waiting to see me back on the screen.How could I disappoint them? All I ask is a little patience, a little understanding.JOENorma, there's nothing to worry about. I haven't done anything.NORMAOf course you haven't. Good night, my darling.JOEI should have stayed therePoor NormaSo desperate to be readyFor what would never happenBut Betty would be waitingWe had a script to finishOne unexpected love sceneTwo people, both riskingA kind of happy ending
