Valley of the Dolls Edit

A black Siamese should be very pretty. I'm Anne Welles.

A girl like Miss Welles here.

A little closer together, please. Have you made many changes?

A male in the Martha Washington Hotel for women?

A telegram for a Miss Polar.

Actually, the water felt great. It kept coming in and going out.

Actually, this is a celebration.

After all, it might not ever happen.

After she signs the release the song will go back in. With the understudy.

After your shampoo just comb, roll up, then brush out.

Afterwards you can come to the beach with us and recuperate.

All I ever heard was how much I ate and how much it cost to buy me shoes.

All I've ever had was a body and now I won't even have that.

All of a sudden she gets me in a half nelson...

All over the United States of America.

All right, Edward. All right.

All right, faggot, start explaining.

All right, I'll settle for a third. Anything. Just let me go home.

All right, sheriff, you win. You ran my father out of town...

All right, thank you.

All right, that's fine, dear. Thank you.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right. I'll start her on vitamins tomorrow.

All right. I'll try you out for one week, starting as of now.

All the dough she makes, we still had to borrow to pay the income tax.

Allison's gotta go. I will not let her steal the show. She almost did at rehearsal.

An abortion. How do you like that?

And accuses me of telling the rest of the inmates she's a latent homosexual.

And all of you out there who made this possible.

And don't expect flowers either, because only white lilacs suit you.

And don't give her that "I loved you when I was a little girl" routine...

And don't tell me I knew what I was doing.

And for that I'm grateful.

And I know all I have is a body and I am doing my bust exercises.

And I'd run for home ready to settle down in Lawrenceville.

And I'm gonna get them.

And I'm the dame who can prove it.

And in this business they come left, right and below the belt.

And legibly too.

And made you marry me. Oh, baby.

And not even that, because she's a professional.

And now you've been out six days because of pills and you walked out.

And now, because of the warm, plush, lush notes that emerged from...

And now... Now a special award for Miss Neely O'Hara.

And that psychiatrist? Dr. Mitchell?

And that's me, baby, remember?

And the feeling of loneliness is overpowering.

And there will be periods of blankness and hallucination.

And there's something else.

And they're very difficult to come by in New York in February.

And wardrobe fittings, makeup tests, publicity stills, you know.

And when your uncle died, you took over his business.

And with your 150 a week, we can really live. We can get a maid to clean up.

And won't remember a word. You'll have one sherry and remember it all.

And wonder what the hell happened.

And you beside me on that marvelous old four poster upstairs.

And you sermonize me! Not a sermon, just a few cold facts.

And you, Lyon, you'd better watch it.

And you're just a Helen Lawson.

And you've been boozing and eating all through the picture.

Anne and I will come by and pick you up at about 3:00.

Anne, I'm all right, really I am. Run along.

Anne, it's a dream town.

Anne, let's face it, all I know how to do is take off my clothes.

Anne?

Anne.

Annie. Hi, how are you?

Another. This way.

Any reason why she'd take her own life?

Anything? Well, perhaps we can make some arrangement.

Are you gonna marry? Any comment?

Are you really going to marry Kevin?

Are you serious, Tony?

Arlene quit this morning.

Art films. Nudies, that's all they are. Nudies.

As a man, you're always too tired and too full of those damn dolls.

At first it was awful, like living in a zoo.

At least I thought I did.

At the apartment.

Attorney, agent, manager, secretary, doctor, maid, masseuse...

Aunt Amy had stayed there.

Aunt Amy, Mama and Willie.

B.A. At Radcliffe? Mr. Bellamy will like that. He'll think it gives the office tone.

Baby, you may have a great talent, but not for ties.

Beautiful.

Because I got talent, Edward.

Because I won't settle for crumbs. I'll leave this stinking show...

Because some queer deigns to design their clothes.

Before my feet were dry, the agency sent me on an interview.

Believe me, by next week every producer in town will be after you.

Big talent.

Boobies, boobies, boobies. Nothing but boobies.

Boy, can I go for a drink. Me too. It's charming.

Break it up. Come on, break it up. Break it up

Bull. Merrick's not that crazy.

But don't let that happen to you.

But I just sent you $50 last week, Mother.

But I just sent you $50 last week, Mother.

But I kept remembering the old Neely. She was quite a girl.

But I loved you.

But I wish we didn't have to meet in such out of the way places.

But I'd never seen him, until one night...

But I'll have nothing but a few lines left.

But make a note, remind me to send you some in May.

But Miriam's got this thing about marriage.

But not as a man.

But not creamy. Pink, to match your skin.

But she'll destroy herself.

But she's talented, Henry. She's really got it.

But the motor disturbances will occur again.

But the motor disturbances will occur again.

But the next time you might not be so lucky.

But watch it, my friend. Find yourself a good girl.

But we'll have to wait until 4 a.m. For the reviews.

But when did I ever do anything my mother told me to?

But you did. You knew.

But you don't have to sneak.

By the girls around that water cooler.

Celebrating the second anniversary of the Gillian Girl...

Certainly I should have kept an eye on her, doctor, but she sneaks out.

College girl.

Come on, move it down.

Come on, you guys. Move it. Come on. Let's go, girls.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Conflicts, my foot. There aren't enough hours in the day.

Congratulations. Thank you. How long has it been?

Continuing our presentation...

Cultured.

Curl up with your favorite news analyst. I'll be back early.

Curtain time, Miss O'Hara.

Cut the song?

Dear Anne, thank you for the moment of reckoning.

Definitely without you. I'm keeping you under wraps until your opening.

Did she also tell you that I once thought that I could write?

Did without.

Did you know you are the most beautiful girl that ever left lipstick in my office?

Do you have to go to New York with Neely?

Do you think she can hear us?

Doctor says it's not the end of the world.

Does anybody else have a better right to gloat?

Does it make any difference how or why it happened? It happened.

Does that mean you won't marry me?

Don't forget to see my new film Love and Let Love at the Music Hall this week.

Don't mind me, go right ahead. I'll watch.

Don't you throw in the towel just yet.

Dr. Eberhart, this is Miriam Polar.

Dr. Mitchell says that I am self destructive.

Every man a potential Henry Higgins waiting to discover his Eliza Doolittle.

Everybody's gone.

Everything is better here. It really is. I don't know how you ever left.

Evil is only in the eye of the beholder.

Excuse me.

Excuse me. Yeah.

Excuse me. You must be Mr. Burke, the one with the water cooler.

Find the counterpart of Lawrenceville and see if I can.

First dressing room on the right. If you're a Capricorn, watch your step.

First I wanted new experiences, new faces, new surroundings.

For every Helen Lawson, there's always a Helen Hayes or a Mary Martin.

For lovely Neely O'Hara. Everybody, let's hear it out there.

For so many years I prayed for this moment.

Fox would like to release the film in the United States.

French subtitles over a bare bottom doesn't make it art.

From the Grand Ballroom of the Hilton Hotel in the heart of New York City.

From what you said, she's a wonderful woman.

George Washington didn't sleep there, but he did dip water from our well.

Get it to Miss O'Hara and tell her to learn it fast.

Get off me, you... Let go of me!

Get off the floor. You're making a spectacle of yourself.

Gillian high fashion makeup. Gillian high fashion lipstick.

Gillian makeup gives grace and elegance to that high fashioned look.

Gillian makeup gives you just enough accent to that flawless complexion.

Gillian products offers a Gillian Girl's birthday special.

Give me a fountain pen. And not one of those lousy ballpoints.

Give me that, damn you! What the hell are you doing in there?

Give this to the hairdresser. Miss O'Hara will be ready in a moment.

Giving it a shampoo. Goodbye, pussycat.

Go out. The doctor will explain it to you.

Go to hell, you bastard!

Go to the office. On my desk you'll find a musical arrangement.

God?

God...

Gone.

Gone.

Good evening, Miss Lawson. Can I help you?

Good night, Mrs. Polar.

Good night.

Goodbye, Mother. I'll wire you the money first thing in the morning.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Have any marriage plans? What's your next film?

Have kids.

Having dinner with me and a client. I'll drink too much...

Having fun, kiddies?

He advises them and draws up their contracts. No loopholes.

He didn't know where he was.

He handles actors, writers and directors. Important ones.

He left this for you. Johnny was just going to bring it over.

He made a mint with that new hairspray.

He passed us by.

He probably won't remember any of this tomorrow. Good night.

He said it meant we were engaged to be engaged.

He says lots of women live long and happy lives after breast surgery.

He took me to the Martha Washington Hotel for women.

He's already told you everything he knows.

He's ducking me. He's giving me the treatment, just like all the others.

He's got a big new account in there.

He's making one now.

He's not about to give up his lousy 10 percent.

He's not even 30 and he's made over a million bucks.

He's protecting Old Ironsides.

He's working overtime. Why doesn't he look after my interests?

Helen Lawson? Mr. Bellamy, that was wicked.

Hello, Anne. Welcome to California.

Hello, Mother, I had to talk to you. There's something I have to tell you.

Hello, Mother? How are you?

Hello, Mother. I just got in. I thought it was too late to call you.

Hello, Mother. I just got in. I thought it was too late to call you.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello? Yes, I placed a call to Milwaukee.

Hello? Yes, I'll accept the call.

Helps soothe natural curls as it sets your hair.

Her measurements? That's enough. That's enough.

Here comes Tony Polar. He's gonna put the bite on me for a job.

Here it comes. Special delivery.

Here, maybe this will disinfect it.

Here. Keep the change.

Here. Take these contracts to Helen Lawson at the rehearsal hall on 44th.

Here. With that guy of yours in San Francisco you could use a few dolls.

Hey, everybody, where are you?

Hey, look at Jennifer. Hey, Jennifer?

Hey, Miriam. Come and look. It's old home week.

Hey, you know something?

Hey, you know what these are?

Hey! Where is everybody?

Hi, Jen.

Hi, Mel!

Hold it. Hold it!

Honey, I'm sorry. That old witch ought to be boiled in oil.

Honey, it's just that Miriam doesn't want me to get serious.

Honey, listen. It's a rotten business.

How about that? Where are you going? Neely, you'll raise a lot of money for us.

How am I gonna keep Tony in the sanitarium?

How do I get out of here?

How do you do?

How do you think I feel sneaking out of your apartment at 4:00 in the morning?

How do you think the kid's song works in the new spot? Great, huh?

How long do you think you can get away with these antics?

How's that? Come on.

I almost forgot. She gave me a message for Mr. Bellamy.

I am interested in a young lady with your...

I am not taking you to a bistro. I'm taking you home to bed.

I announced I was going to work there.

I can almost hear Paul Revere's hoofbeats.

I can get off my rump and go back to New York.

I can handle her.

I can still see them standing there waving.

I can tell you what he'll say. "Take whatever crumbs are offered."

I can't even remember when somebody wasn't nagging or pressuring me.

I can't get through a day without a doll.

I can't stop thinking about that audience tonight.

I can't stop thinking about that audience tonight.

I caught the telethon. We're doing great business with Tony Polar.

I confessed I didn't know any.

I could write my book. Or at least try.

I could've sworn Neely saw us.

I couldn't sleep. I needed a pill.

I couldn't, Lyon. I had a rotten night.

I cursed you out at first, but then I realized you did the right thing.

I didn't get dough handed to me because of my good cheekbones, I worked for it.

I don't feel anything anymore.

I don't know.

I don't know. England's changed.

I don't need anybody.

I don't need it.

I don't need pills like Neely.

I felt like they were all taking me in their arms and holding me.

I got half my foot through it, then I yanked my knee up to my chest.

I gotta get up at 5 in the morning and sparkle.

I guess I should've known. You're afraid of ghosts.

I guess that's one of the drawbacks of being a big star.

I had butterflies, but I acted like I'd done it all my life.

I had such big plans. I was gonna be a big star.

I happily present to you this Grammy Award for your warm contribution...

I have a better idea.

I have an idea. Why don't we leave the rat race and move up here?

I have the scenes right here. And a song, a really good one.

I haven't any idea who the father is. It could have been one of several.

I haven't slept with Ted in weeks.

I haven't snitched milk since I was a kid in Pittsburgh.

I hear the Lawson show laid a big egg in Philadelphia.

I hope it isn't that beat up black tom with the one eye.

I knew it. She had that look. I'm to see Miss Steinberg.

I knew she was pregnant.

I knew that when I kicked her out of my show.

I knew Tony was here under an assumed name...

I know all about you.

I know how you love him. I'm not blind. I thank you.

I know I should have, but I couldn't. I couldn't do that to him.

I know she's making big money.

I know you owe Miriam a lot, Tony...

I know. But I love it.

I licked pills, booze and the funny farm. I don't need anybody or anything.

I mean Ted.

I might as well give it to you all at once.

I missed you, Anne.

I need a doll.

I need a man to hold me.

I need Mel.

I never meant to start that climb.

I only know I have to find out.

I pictured you at a sink full of dishes. And a baby tugging at your skirt.

I realized I had to give in and take the job.

I remember the day Willie pinned me.

I said, that depends on Lyon Burke. He takes care of my affairs.

I see. Just what kind of pictures do you make?

I should've known this was gonna happen. Anne warned me.

I spotted this small hole in the canvas. I started working at it with my toe.

I started playing checkers with this cute little girl.

I started screaming. I figured they'd give me something to calm me.

I tell myself that, Annie, but I don't feel it.

I think you'll love our next performer. Let's have a nice reception...

I thought you were keeping her out of sight.

I thought you'd never ask.

I told her I had no intention of socializing with kooks.

I told him he should see one of our New England blizzards.

I took the first step when I left New England and headed for New York.

I tried to wake her, Mr. Burke, but she wouldn't budge.

I try to talk to her, it's like a brick wall.

I used to come here weekends, but tonight it's not the same.

I used to work my heart out, kill myself.

I used words that sure aren't in medical books.

I wanna see Mr. Burke. He's not in, Miss O'Hara.

I wanna tell you something. Everyone gets payback. Everyone!

I want an unknown. A girl to be identified with Gillian products exclusively.

I want Lyon to talk to that director. He's crucifying me.

I want to see him, Miriam.

I want you to go to a sanitarium and dry out.

I wanted a marriage like Mom and Dad's, but not yet.

I wanted to come for your mother's funeral. Why didn't you let me?

I wanted to lie back and relax. But that was what they wanted.

I was gonna take acting lessons and dancing lessons.

I was, but now I realize it's impossible.

I wouldn't pay any attention to that. You know how bitchy fags can be.

I wrote about the things I knew. My own experiences.

I'd like to see how Gillian's hairspray reacts to smog.

I'd love to.

I'll bet I'm the only showgirl who's ever been inside the Statue of Liberty.

I'll get you a cab. You can stay at the hotel.

I'll go out the way I came in.

I'll have a Coke.

I'll have a scotch and soda. Thank you.

I'll just get her broken in and she'll get married.

I'll just take this. It's the only thing around here that belongs to me.

I'll never forget the night I told them I was going to New York.

I'll see to it that Mr. Bellamy gets it. Thank you very much, Miss Welles.

I'll send you a copy.

I'll stay with you tomorrow. And don't you worry.

I'll take the mink to Uncle Ayers' again. He'll give me a couple hundred for it.

I'm a big star.

I'm afraid I better be running along.

I'm afraid I haven't made a good impression.

I'm glad.

I'm going home, Annie. I'm going home to Ted right now.

I'm Neely O'Hara, pal. That's me singing on that jukebox.

I'm Neely.

I'm not everyone. I don't have to live by stinking rules for ordinary people.

I'm not gonna do it, Neely.

I'm not kidding. I'll be making good money.

I'm not so sure.

I'm not the butler, Neely.

I'm not. And none of them ever loved each other more than I love you.

I'm ready, Mr. Hamilton.

I'm scared. I've forgotten how to sleep without dolls.

I'm sorry Mrs. Gottlieb was shocked at my pictures.

I'm sorry Mrs. Gottlieb was shocked at my pictures.

I'm sorry you missed Aunt Amy. She's gone to the cousins' in New Hampshire.

I'm sorry, but I can't stand by and watch a talent like yours go down the drain.

I'm sorry, he's in the shower. I'll have him call you back.

I'm the last person to ask her.

I'm too tired to argue.

I'm trying to, but you've gotta cooperate with me.

I've always wanted to write. So I'm going back to England...

I've been talking with the Coast.

I've booked you into a hotel near the studio.

I've got to take a shower and get back to Ted's.

I've hated this. Go find yourself another girl.

I've known it for a long time.

I've never carried you across the threshold.

I've never quite been able to put my finger on it.

I've thought it over and I don't think I...

If he becomes unmanageable, we'll keep him sedated.

If she were my client, I'd advise her to leave the show with dignity.

If that's long distance, don't hang on the phone. You know how much it costs.

If that's the way you want it.

If there's anything I can do while you're here, please let me know.

If you ask me, my success is too big for you.

In addition to raising money, is discovering new talent.

In general, the French girl is inclined to be flat in the bosom.

In the afternoon we had recreation hour.

Incidentally, where is Tony?

Is the toastmaster general of the United States, Mr. George Jessel.

Isn't there anything I can do to change your mind?

It can mean everything or nothing.

It cost more than it grossed, because of you.

It gives you stature to walk out on Helen Lawson.

It got so I panicked when I thought my shoes were getting too small.

It may take a year before he reaches the point of complete incapacity.

It must have been a shock to discover it.

It seems the two of us are alone in the world.

It was a lovely evening, nevertheless.

It was standing during the Revolution.

It was the only thing. I couldn't sleep that night.

It wasn't easy to leave that wonderful house.

It wouldn't work, Lyon.

It'll create sympathy. People love to forgive.

It's a brutal climb to reach that peak.

It's a brutal climb to reach that peak.

It's a hospital.

It's a male, honey. It won't give you any trouble.

It's also very tempting.

It's called Huntington's chorea. It's relatively rare.

It's funny.

It's getting late. I think we ought to go.

It's great to have you back in New York. You look marvelous.

It's like when you put your hands on me...

It's my own grief. I didn't wanna put you through it.

It's not about Tony, it's for me.

It's not booze, it's pills. Send for her husband. Look, Neely...

It's not cold, huh?

It's up to you. Tony wouldn't know the difference.

Jen, I don't know what I'm gonna do about Mel. He's changed so.

Jen, stop talking like that.

Jen?

Jen.

Jennifer, shame on you.

Jennifer?

Just a few short years ago you're an unknown little girl singing for her supper.

Just couldn't stand up to your image.

Just one, and one more.

Just two days, then I'm taking Anne to Hawaii.

Just waiting for you to find him.

KNBC, Los Angeles.

Know something, Annie? One of the first things I'd like to have is your fella.

Lawrenceville would be there forever.

Let go of me, you big jerk!

Let go!

Let them talk. Even the bad publicity helps when you're as big as I am.

Let's go to your place. We'll unhook the phone so Miriam can't bother us.

Let's go.

Let's try and catch up to them.

Like a frog...

Like firing a girl because a crude person like Miss Lawson resents her ability.

Look at that face. It's all puffy. Your eyes are bloodshot.

Look, I'm tired and I'm busy. What do you want?

Look, the models have goose bumps.

Look, you just have to beat this thing. You just have to beat it.

Look! You're a singer. You can always go back to nightclubs.

Lots of lumps mean nothing. Some are only cysts, aren't they?

Lots of secretaries are married, aren't they?

Lousy. A beast.

Lyon will find you a job. I know he will.

Lyon, don't leave me here! Get me a doll. Just one.

Lyon, I'm really in great shape. I've changed. I've learned a lot of things.

Lyon?

Lyon?

Lyon's checked with the doctors here and they say you can do it.

Ma'am? Glass of red wine.

Mademoiselle Polar has shown me your photographie.

Maybe I'm lucky I don't have any talent.

Maybe one single strand of pearls.

Maybe she's jealous.

Maybe that's why she's so careful with money.

Maybe two rooms and a kitchenette.

Maybe you could put in a good word for Tony.

Maybe you'll understand now why I've been the way I've been.

Me? She doesn't listen to me.

Mel, let's get married.

Mel.

Merrick believes in you. And so do I.

Miriam has me on a strict budget.

Miriam, here's a copy for Tony.

Miriam, I'm pregnant.

Miss O'Hara. You look lovely. Thank you.

Miss Welles, a raw recruit always dives for cover at the first burst of enemy fire.

Miss Welles, you forgot your purse.

Miss Welles.

Mom, I've gotta go now. I'll write you tomorrow.

Money, for instance. I've put away every cent I could get my hands on.

Mother, I can't send you any more money this month.

Mother, I know I don't have any talent...

Mother's not been well.

Mr. Bellamy sent some contracts for you to sign.

Mr. Bellamy told me all about you.

Mr. Bellamy, this is Miss Welles. She's here about the job.

Mr. Bellamy.

Mr. Chardot is from Paris. He's out here looking for talent.

Mr. Chardot, this is my sister in law.

My beautiful little dolls.

My father used to come here when he was at Yale.

My grandparents lived there and theirs before them.

My legs just seemed to give way.

My mother said I should've held out...

Neely has no class. No real down to the gut class.

Neely hasn't got that hard core like me.

Neely O'Hara!

Neely, I have some good news. You're following Tony Polar in the club here.

Neely, wake up. Come on, wake up.

Neely! Neely!

Neely?

Neely.

Neely. Annie!

Neely. Neely.

Neely's at the studio.

Neely's? Well, get rid of them.

No good.

No noisy students, no drinking songs.

No, I guess you couldn't.

No, I never told him.

No, I won't be undressing in public anymore.

No, I'm all right. Come on.

No, Lyon, not now.

No, not Miriam. She raised me.

No, thank you.

No, thanks.

No!

No. I'm really very grateful. Nobody else gave a damn.

No...

Nobody cares if I live or die, just so long as I write the checks.

None. She was excited about a new contract.

Nope. They covered it up with makeup.

Not a word about quitting.

Not alone...

Not anymore.

Not anymore. There are things I want, Lyon.

Not in this office. Some days you'll work until midnight...

Not me. I've had it rough before. I'm a barracuda.

Not until Bellamy ties a can to that little broad's tail.

Nothing can destroy her talent...

Nothing.

Nothing.

Now business. How would you like to do a Broadway musical for David Merrick?

Now I don't even have a job. All I have is my dignity.

Now that it's come, I don't feel a thing.

Now you can see why I was against his marrying.

Now you think about that.

Now you're just like all the rest of them. Success is too big for you.

Now you're trying to run me out. The Durneys don't give up that easy.

Now, get out of my way, I've got a man waiting.

Now, you call this acting?

Of course she's still living with us. You know that.

Of course.

Of course. You know I do. I have to do my best for her.

Of the Grammy Awards, coming to you...

Off stage I hate her, but on stage I'm madly in love with her.

Oh, God...

Oh, God...

Oh, good old Steinberg. Well, what would you like to have?

Oh, how beautiful.

Oh, I went back to the agency business. And I like it.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh, I'm sure you could. You turn a very neat phrase when you dictate.

Oh, Neely.

Oh, no. Sorry. Jewelry's not for you.

Oh, to hell with them. Let them droop.

Oh, yeah, the studio wants her to find out why she's so exhausted.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yes, quite a few.

Oh, yes. The agency phoned about you.

Oh, you should. It's dedicated to you.

Oh?

Oh.

Oh.

Oh...

Okay, but bring the contract to me before you sign it.

Okay, I'll send you $50 as soon as I get my paycheck.

Okay, I'll send you $50 as soon as I get my paycheck.

Okay, I'll take you in to see the boss.

Okay, you want it back?

Okay.

Okay. Bye.

On the contrary, you've made an indelible one.

Once a week, we have a dance. It's really camp.

One month's check she has to sign.

One of the nice things about doing this telethon...

One second. You have to sign this.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Only his nephew, Lyon Burke. You can tell when he's in the office...

Only in Hollywood do women faint...

Only it was double triple.

Only trouble is, they pep me up so much I can't sleep.

Open the door, you're on. Neely?

Or I've changed.

Or one day you'll wind up alone like me...

Or she'll stab you in the back.

Other people have loyal help, why can't we?

Out. What kind of a press agent are you?

Ow! Ow! Oh, God, it hurts.

Pardon me, Beth.

Perhaps someday, Lyon. I don't know.

Personally, I'd walk away with dignity.

Please, have a seat.

Please, Lyon, don't send me there.

Point number one.

Poor Willie. He didn't know I was leaving his life forever.

Presently on the stage, about to present a major award...

Providing you have talent.

Queeny's pregnant again. My Siamese.

Remember, the beautiful people use Gillian's.

Right. Nor you, either.

Say, I still have one of Queeny's kittens left. Would you like to have it?

Shall I call you a cab?

She called me about six months ago.

She can be fired right now. I want her out.

She does very well. He won't make a move without her.

She knows the facts of life.

She looks lovely.

She must be beautiful, but more important, she must be refined.

She never learned to roll with the punches.

She said it was as safe as you could be in a city like New York.

She said you yelled at her. That's three cooks in three months, Neely.

She says it's very important she speak to you.

She starts at 5:30 in the morning still punchy from last night's sleeping pills.

She thinks it'll destroy what she calls my image.

She threw it in the can. I'll kill her!

She wanted to know where she could get an abortion.

She was a louse anyway.

She was the one who wanted kiddies and the vine covered cottage.

She'd never believe it, but I'm sorry for her.

She'll be home any minute. She's with Ted Casablanca trying on new clothes.

She's changed, Jen.

She's coming to California next week. I'll be seeing her.

She's gone through life on a pass because of her damn looks.

She's lovely. I bet beads pop off when she moves.

Should have kept her in a straitjacket.

Sit down, will you?

Sit down.

Sit down. You're making me nervous.

Six hundred bucks for a headdress and not a soul will see it.

So get Bellamy to do it. He knows how. He's done it before.

So give me a double triple.

So I see.

So long, granny. I'll tell your boyfriend not to wait.

So she takes a red pill to pep herself up and at midnight she's still flying.

So what?

So what? There are other studios.

So you come crawling back to Broadway.

Some men just don't pull well in double harness.

Something must be wrong. Excuse me.

Somewhere in your wonderful New York there is the right man...

Sorry, Miss Lawson. What an awful thing to do to a great star like you.

Spends three days in San Francisco with a lousy nightclub singer?

Stand by. Well, it's too damn hot.

Still got that mole on your keister?

Stockholders are only interested in one thing: Profits.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself. You're a big star. You have everything.

Suit yourself.

Sure it is.

Sure, everything's rosy now.

Sure, I know you dried her out, but it won't last.

Sure, I take dolls, I gotta sleep.

Sure, sure.

Take a cab. See that she signs them.

Take this down, please:

Talent? You know damn well she has talent!

Ted Casablanca is not a fag.

Ted Casablanca says he's the joke of the town.

Ted!

Ted? Honey, it's me.

Tell Frank, Dean and Sam they're gonna have to wait.

Tell her the SOB earned his oats.

Tell me something. How come the boss of a big agency...

Tell me, why are you dismissing us so soon?

Thank you for the loveliest winter of my life.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

Thank you, Mr. Jessel. I'd like to thank all of you here...

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks for listening. I really got a lot off my chest.

Thanks for making up my mind. I should've left long ago...

Thanks just the same. Not at all.

Thanks, I need it. Hold that, honey.

Thanks, Jen.

Thanks.

Thanks. I've already turned down the part you're playing.

That girl who is singing out there, she's very good, isn't she?

That little whore makes me feel 9 feet tall.

That new girl was terrific. She sure was.

That was a rotten thing to say in front of Jenny.

That was the studio. They told him to butt out.

That's good, because I'm leaving.

That's her problem. She doesn't care about me, so why care about her?

That's not true. There was a flood of letters and telegrams from all over.

That's the best piece of music in the show.

That's your job. You better start running this house properly.

The cab driver kept complaining about the sleet and slush.

The closest I ever got to champagne was seeing it broken on a ship in a newsreel.

The desk clerk warned me they didn't allow men in the rooms.

The doctor took a biopsy and it's malignant.

The girl who introduces our products on our show will be called the Gillian Girl.

The going gets rough, they all talk about retirement.

The headshrinker says she's insecure. That she needs mass love.

The hell with them.

The hell with them. The hell with all of them. Who needs them?

The next day Miriam arranged a meeting with a quirky European movie producer.

The nightingale somehow just sounded off key.

The nurse sounded the alarm.

The old star sickness begins to appear. No more gratitude, just power.

The only hit that comes out of my show is Helen Lawson.

The public pays to see her.

The San Francisco Earthquake couldn't rouse her.

The sanitarium was very expensive.

The song goes.

The stuck me in this little room with a big nurse with orthopedic shoes...

The studio dropped my option.

The symptoms of physical and mental degeneration first appear about age 30.

The understudy was great. Thank you.

The whole world loves me!

Then I heard she went to Paris to make art films.

Then I will not sell.

Then I'll settle for nothing.

Then they stuck me in this big tub and hooked a canvas around me.

Then why'd you sign the new contract? You don't have to work. I make enough.

There was a scandalous rumor going around we were pro British.

There were six of us and I never got enough.

There.

There'll always be another show and a better part...

There's a loss of muscular control. Chances for inheritance are very high.

There's Jennifer with one of her rich boyfriends. Doesn't she look great?

There's Neely with Casablanca.

They all acted as normal as apple pie.

They don't even want him on the set. They say he makes me self conscious.

They have also offered to buy your contract.

They kill your appetite.

They love Helen Lawson, then they love Neely O'Hara.

They love me.

They ordered me to take off my gown. I told them to drop dead.
