[00:00.00] 作曲 : Don Black/Andrew Lloyd Webber/Christopher Hampton
[00:00.59]NORMA: Now go
[00:05.16]JOE: Next time I'll bring my autograph album
[00:07.50]NORMA: Just a minute, you.
[00:10.58]Did you say you were a writer?
[00:12.64]JOE: That's what it says on my guild card
[00:14.10]NORMA: And you've written pictures?
[00:16.48]JOE: Sure have. Would you like to see my credits?
[00:19.13]NORMA: Come over here. I want to ask you something.
[00:24.13]Just what sort of length is a movie script these days?
[00:26.22]JOE: Depends
[00:27.48]NORMA: I wrote this. It's a very important picture
[00:31.43]JOE: Look like six very important pictures
[00:33.89]NORMA: It's for DeMille to direct
[00:35.05]JOE: Oh, yeah? And will you be in it?
[00:36.16]NORMA: Of course. What do you think?
[00:39.15]JOE: Just asking. I didn't know you were planning a comeback
[00:40.26]NORMA: I hate that word. It's a return
[00:45.48]JOE: Well...fair enough
[00:48.16]NORMA: I want you to read it
[00:51.16]JOE: You shouldn't let another writer read your stuff. He may steal it
[00:54.67]NORMA: I'm not afraid. Sit down.
[00:57.08]Max! Bring something to drink
[00:59.78]MAX: Yes, Madame
[01:01.37]NORMA: I said sit down! It's about Salome.
[01:14.66]Salome - the story of a woman.
[01:22.63]The woman who was all women
[01:28.72]NORMA: Salome, what a woman, what a part!
[01:31.60]Innocent body and a sinful heart
[01:34.59]Inflaming Herod's lust
[01:39.37]But secretly loving a holy man
[01:42.52]No one could play her like I can
[01:46.39]JOE: Well, I had nothing urgent coming up
[01:48.90]I thought I might as well skim it
[01:52.71]It's fun to see how bad bad writing can be
[01:56.76]This promised to go to the limit
[02:01.07]NORMA: There's so many great scenes, I can't wait
[02:03.78]A boiling cauldron of love and hate
[02:06.38]She toys with Herod
[02:09.73]'Til he's putty in her hands
[02:12.53]He reels tormented through the desert sands
[02:19.36]JOE: It sure was a real cheery set-up
[02:21.23]The wind wheezing through that organ
[02:24.54]Max shuffling around and a dead ape dumped on a shelf
[02:29.16]And her staring like a Gorgon
[02:32.60]NORMA: They drag the Baptist up from the jails
[02:35.34]She dances the dance of the seven veils
[02:50.66]Herod says "I'll give you anything"
[02:58.24]JOE: Now it was time for some comedy relief
[03:02.54]The guy with the baby casket
[03:06.99]Must have seen a thing or two, that chimp
[03:09.75]Shame it was too late to ask it
[03:14.89]NORMA: Have you got to the scene where she asks for his head?
[03:19.92]If she can't have him living
[03:22.05]She'll take him dead
[03:24.75]They bring in his head on a silver tray
[03:27.64]She kisses his mouth - it's a great screenplay!
[03:40.99]JOE: It got to be eleven, I was feeling ill
[03:44.32]What the hell was I doing?
[03:47.67]Melodrama and sweet champagne
[03:51.39]And a garbled plot from a scrambled brain
[03:55.36]But I had my own plot brewing
[04:03.28]JOE: Just how old is Salome?
[04:05.22]NORMA: Sixteen
[04:07.07]JOE: I see
[04:07.62]NORMA: Well?
[04:09.22]JOE: It's fascinating
[04:10.42]NORMA: Of course it is
[04:12.35]JOE: Could be it's a little long
[04:14.86]Maybe the opening's wrong
[04:16.28]But it's extremely good for a beginner
[04:19.22]NORMA: No, it's a perfect start
[04:20.78]I wrote that with my heart
[04:23.06]The river-bank, the baptist, and the sinner
[04:28.61]JOE: Shouldn't there be some dialogue?
[04:31.55]NORMA: I can say anything I want with my eyes
[04:34.44]JOE: It could use a few cuts
[04:35.34]NORMA: I will not have it butchered!
[04:38.07]JOE: I'm not talking limb from limb
[04:40.61]I just mean a little trim
[04:42.19]All you need is someone who can edit
[04:44.90]NORMA: I want someone with a knack
[04:47.32]Not just any studio hack
[04:50.11]And don't think for a moment I'd share credit!
[04:57.36]NORMA: When were you born?
[04:58.64]JOE: December 21st, why?
[05:01.05]NORMA: I like Sagittarians. You can trust them
[05:05.51]JOE: Thanks
[05:08.48]NORMA: I want you to do this work
[05:11.56]JOE: Me? Gee, I don't know, I'm busy.
[05:17.00]I just finished one script and I'm about to start a new assignment
[05:18.87]NORMA: I don't care
[05:20.17]JOE: I'm pretty expensive. I get five hundred a week
[05:22.74]NORMA: Don't you worry about money. I'll make it worth your while
[05:27.91]JOE: Well, it's getting kind of late
[05:32.25]NORMA: Are you married, Mr. -
[05:34.29]JOE: The name is Gillis. Single
[05:35.60]NORMA: Where do you live?
[05:37.59]JOE: Hollywood. Alto Nido Apartments
[05:38.41]NORMA: You'll stay here
[05:40.40]JOE: I'll come back early tomorrow
[05:41.43]NORMA: Nonsense, there's a room over the garage. Max will take you there. Max!
[05:45.63]MAX: Yes, Madame
[05:47.23]NORMA: Take Mr. Gillis to the guest room.
[05:52.94]We'll begin at nine sharp
[06:24.05]JOE: Now this is more like it
[06:26.38]MAX: I made up the bed this afternoon
[06:29.25]JOE: Thanks. How did you know I was going to stay?
[06:33.23]MAX: There's soap and a toothbrush in the bathroom
[06:38.35]JOE: She's quite a character, isn't she, that Norma Desmond?
