Q

DON: Now look, let me explain…

A

You ARE a criminal. I’ve seen that face someplace. You’re a famous gangster. I’ve seen your pictures in the papers- or in the post office. With a lot of numbers on your chest. (Jump up) Officer! Officer!

Q

DON: Enchanted Miss Selden (Kisses hand) I’m sorry I frightened you. I was getting just a little too much love from my adoring fans.

A

(Sitting beside him) Oh, thats what you were running away from. You can’t even go out for a walk, that’s terrible!

Q

DON:… the truth is we’re lonely… terrible lonely.

A

Uh- Mr. Lockwood I can’t tell you how sorry I was about taking you for a criminal before- but it was understandable under the circumstances. I knew I’d seen you.

Right! And-oh… I don’t go to the movies much. If you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all.

Q

DON: Well, thank you.

A

Oh, no offense. But you see, I’m not interested in the movies. I guess it’s entertaining enough for the masses, but the personalities on the screen just don’t impress me. I mean, they don’t act- they just make a lot of dumb show… well, you know. (Make a surprised face) Like that.

Q

DON: You mean what I do?

A

Well, yes.

18
Q

DON: Wait a minute! You mean I’m not an actor? Pantomime on the screen isn’t acting?

A

Of course not. Acting means great parts- wonderful lines, speaking those glorious words… Shakespeare, Ibsen…

19
Q

DON: Well, what’s your lofty mission in life that lets you sneer at my humble profession?

A

Well- uh- I’m an actress!

20
Q

DON: What!?

A

On the stage!

21
Q

DON: Oh! I’d like to see you act. What are you in right now? I could brush up on my English- bring along an interpreter. That is, if they’d let in a movie actor.

A

(standing) Well, I’m not in a play right now, but I will be- I’m going to New York… and…

22
Q

DON: New York?- and we’ll all hear of you some day, won’t we? Kathy Selden as Juliet… as Lady Macbeth… as King Lear. You’ll have to wear a beard for that one, of course.

A

Oh, you can laugh if you want to- but at least the stage is a dignified, honorable profession. And what have you got to be so conceited about? (stepping into him) You’re nothing but a shadow on film- You’re not flesh and blood!

23
Q

DON: Oh, no?

A

Stop!

24
Q

DON: What could I do to you? I’m just a shadow.

A

You keep away. Just because you’re a big movie star- wild parties- swimming pools- you expect every girl to fall in a dead faint at your feet. (sit down) Well don’t you touch me!

25
Q

DON: Well if it isn’t Ethel Barrymore.

A

(Angry) Please!

26
Q

DON: I hope you’re going to favor us with something special tonight. Hamlet’s soliloquy, or the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet.

A

Mr. Lockwood, I-

27
Q

DON: I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your performance

A

Excuse me.

28
Q

DON: Oh, someone lofty and far above us all. An actress on the legitimate stage. She couldn’t learn anything from the movies.

A

Here’s one thing I’ve learned from the movies!

29
Q

DON: Oh, Lina, I’m sorry. This is-

A

Gee, I’m sorry… I didn’t mean-

30
Q

PHILLIPS: Kathy! Would you change and come back, please?

A

Yes, Mr. Phillips

31
Q

PHILLIPS: Kathy, will you come here a minute? I’d like you to meet Mr. Simpson.

A

How do you do?

32
Q

SIMPSON: I gather you’re a very talented young lady

A

Thank you.

33
Q

PHILLIPS: Kathy I’d like you to sing for Mr. Simpson. Now, if that’s alright with you.

A

Sure, I’d love to (turn to Cosmo) Do you know “You are my Lucky Star”?

34
Q

COSMO: What key?

A

E…. Flat

35
Q

DON: That’s terrific!

A

Well, thanks anyway Mr. Simpson…. It was nice of you.

36
Q

SIMPSON: Now wait a minute! What?….

A

Oh, that’s all right Mr. Simpson. No point in discussing it any further. I’m halfway off this lot right now.

37
Q

SIMPSON: What do you mean?

A

Well, before Mr. Lockwood refreshes your memory, you might as well know I’m the girl who hit Miss Lamont with the cake. Believe me, it was meant for Mr. Lockwood! (To PHILLIPS) I’m sorry Sid. I should have told you about it. Goodbye.

38
Q

SIMPSON: Yes. I’m the head of this studio. She’s hired… and don’t let Lina know she’s on the lot. Now it’s all settled. Take care of it Phillips.

A

Oh, thank you Mr. Simpson! Thank you Sid!

39
Q

COSMO: Taxi!

A

Have you really been looking for me?

40
Q

DON: I turned this town upside down. Then I got the New York office on it- I remembered you’d said the New York stage was clamoring for you.

A

A slight exaggeration. I was clamoring for the New York stage. In fact, I started out for New York… then the talkies came.

41
Q

DON: You know, up to know I haven’t thought much of the talkies but if that’s what brought you her- it’s the greatest invention since the wheel

A

(Guard up again) Now listen Mr. Lockwood…

42
Q

DON:… Will you have lunch with me. Just like that?

A

Sure.
