[NORMA, spoken]
Is this what you're looking for, by any chance?

[JOE, spoken]
Why, yes

[NORMA, spoken]
Whose phone number is this? I've been worried about the line of my throat. I think this woman has done wonders with it

[JOE, spoken]
Good

[NORMA, spoken]
And I've lost half a pound since Tuesday

[JOE, spoken]
Very good

[NORMA, spoken]
Now it's after nine. I'd better get to bed

[JOE, spoken]
You had

[NORMA, spoken]
Are you coming up?
[JOE, spoken]
I think I'll read a while longer

[NORMA, spoken]
You went out last night, didn't you, Joe?

[JOE, spoken]
I went for a walk

[NORMA, spoken]
You took the car

[JOE, spoken]
I drove to the beach

[NORMA, spoken]
Who's Betty Schaefer?

[JOE, spoken]
Surely, you don't want me to feel as if I'm a prisoner in this house?

[NORMA, spoken]
You 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 the thought 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

[JOE, spoken]
Norma, there's nothing to worry about. I haven't done anything
[NORMA, spoken]
Of course you haven't. Good night, my darling

[JOE]
I should have stayed there
Poor Norma
So desperate to be ready
For what would never happen
But Betty would be waiting
We had a script to finish
One unexpected love scene
Two people, both risking
A kind of happy ending
