| [00:01.150] |
NORMA |
| [00:01.985] |
Joe! Joe! |
| [01:15.657] |
JOE |
| [01:16.695] |
Come on in. |
| [01:17.855] |
BETTY |
| [01:18.238] |
What's going on, Joe? |
| [01:20.541] |
Why am I so scared? |
| [01:24.001] |
What was that woman saying? |
| [01:28.900] |
She sounded so weird |
| [01:33.161] |
I don't understand... |
| [01:35.877] |
Please, can you tell me what's happening? |
| [01:40.602] |
You said you loved me tonight |
| [01:44.956] |
Shall I just go? |
| [01:47.719] |
Say something, Joe |
| [01:49.379] |
JOE |
| [01:49.576] |
Have some pink champage and caviar |
| [01:51.480] |
When you go visit with a star |
| [01:53.163] |
The hospitality is stellar |
| [01:55.277] |
BETTY |
| [01:55.463] |
So this is where you're living? |
| [01:56.914] |
JOE |
| [01:57.157] |
Yes, it's quite a place, sleeps seventeen |
| [01:59.177] |
Eight sunken tubs, a movie screen |
| [02:00.954] |
A bowling alley in the cellar |
| [02:02.962] |
BETTY |
| [02:03.136] |
I didn't come to see a house, Joe |
| [02:04.553] |
JOE |
| [02:04.797] |
Sunset Boulevard |
| [02:06.898] |
Cruise the Boulevard |
| [02:08.976] |
Win yourself a Hollywood palazzo |
| [02:12.459] |
Sunset Boulevard |
| [02:14.861] |
Mythic Boulevard |
| [02:16.975] |
Valentino danced on that terrazzo |
| [02:20.040] |
BETTY |
| [02:20.260] |
Who's it belong to? |
| [02:20.817] |
JOE |
| [02:20.934] |
Just look around you |
| [02:21.735] |
BETTY |
| [02:21.897] |
That's Norma Desmond. |
| [02:22.838] |
JOE |
| [02:23.975] |
That's Norma Desmond |
| [02:24.974] |
That's Norma Desmond |
| [02:26.053] |
That's Norma Desmond |
| [02:27.133] |
That's Norma Desmond |
| [02:27.842] |
BETTY |
| [02:28.061] |
Why did she call me? |
| [02:28.920] |
JOE |
| [02:29.072] |
Give you three guesses |
| [02:30.418] |
It's the oldest story in the book |
| [02:32.497] |
Come see the taker being took |
| [02:34.679] |
The world is full of Joes and Normas |
| [02:38.034] |
Older woman, very well-to-do |
| [02:40.739] |
Meets younger man, the standard cue |
| [02:42.875] |
For two mechanical performers |
| [02:45.338] |
BETTY |
| [02:45.476] |
Just pack your things and let's go. |
| [02:46.393] |
JOE |
| [02:46.556] |
You mean all my things? |
| [02:48.111] |
Have you gone mad? |
| [02:49.295] |
Leave all these things I've never had? |
| [02:51.014] |
Leave this luxurious existence? |
| [02:54.438] |
You want me to face that one-room hell |
| [02:56.760] |
That murphy bed, that rancid smell |
| [02:59.095] |
Go back to living on subsistence? |
| [03:01.810] |
It's no time to begin a new life |
| [03:04.074] |
Now I've finally made a perfect landing |
| [03:07.812] |
I'm afraid there's no room for a wife |
| [03:10.377] |
Not unless she's uniquely understanding |
| [03:13.489] |
you should go back to Artie and marry the fool |
| [03:16.194] |
And you'll always be welcome to swim in my pool |
| [03:20.679] |
BETTY |
| [03:21.480] |
I can't look at you any more, Joe. |
| [04:20.760] |
NORMA |
| [04:22.455] |
Thank you, |
| [04:27.412] |
Thank you, Joe, |
| [04:31.111] |
Thank you... |
| [04:45.602] |
Thank you. |
| [05:03.705] |
What are you doing, Joe? |
| [05:09.428] |
You're not leaving me? |
| [05:15.744] |
JOE |
| [05:15.941] |
Yes, I am, Norma. |
| [05:17.300] |
NORMA |
| [05:17.508] |
You can't! Max! |
| [05:21.258] |
JOE |
| [05:21.444] |
It's been a bundle of laughs |
| [05:24.161] |
And thanks for the use of the trinkets |
| [05:27.679] |
A little ritzy for the copy desk back in Dayton |
| [05:34.319] |
And there's something you ought to know |
| [05:38.279] |
I want to do you this favour |
| [05:42.863] |
They'll never shoot that hopeless script of yours |
| [05:47.565] |
They only wanted your car |
| [05:51.919] |
NORMA |
| [05:52.105] |
That's a lie! They still want me! |
| [05:55.181] |
What about all my fan-mail? |
| [05:56.957] |
JOE |
| [05:57.259] |
It's Max who writes you letters |
| [06:01.798] |
Your audience has vanished |
| [06:05.258] |
They left when you weren't looking |
| [06:08.567] |
Nothing's wrong with being fifty |
| [06:12.583] |
Unless you're acting twenty |
| [06:20.679] |
NORMA |
| [06:22.165] |
I am the greatest star of them all. |
| [06:39.850] |
JOE |
| [06:40.944] |
Goodbye, Norma. |
| [06:42.964] |
NORMA |
| [06:43.662] |
No one ever leaves a star |
| [07:18.691] |
REPORTER |
| [07:19.794] |
And as dawn breaks over the murder house, Norma Desmond, famed star of yesteryear, |
| [07:26.911] |
is in a state of complete mental shock. |
| [07:31.210] |
NORMA |
| [07:32.288] |
This was dawn... |
| [07:37.339] |
I don't know why I'm frightened... |
| [07:41.182] |
Silent music starts to play! |
| [07:46.639] |
Happy New Year, Darling... |
| [07:50.387] |
If you're with me, next year will be, |
| [07:55.646] |
Next year will be... |
| [07:57.945] |
They bring in his head on a silver tray! |
| [08:03.077] |
She kisses his mouth! |
| [08:05.734] |
She kisses his mouth! |
| [08:10.521] |
...Mad about the boy... |
| [08:16.372] |
They'll say Norma's back at last! |
| [08:21.840] |
MAX |
| [08:22.177] |
Madame, the cameras have arrived. |
| [08:26.720] |
NORMA |
| [08:27.625] |
Max! Where am I? |
| [08:32.736] |
MAX |
| [08:34.881] |
This is the staircase of the palace. And they're waiting for your dance. |
| [08:46.888] |
NORMA |
| [08:48.433] |
Of course. Now I remember. I was so frightened I might fall... |
| [09:02.572] |
MAX |
| [09:02.828] |
You are the greatest star of all! |
| [09:13.833] |
Lights! Cameras! Action! |
| [09:23.330] |
NORMA |
| [09:25.327] |
When he scorned me I |
| [09:30.424] |
Knew he'd have to die |
| [09:34.963] |
Let me kiss his severed head |
| [09:44.970] |
Compromise or death |
| [09:48.825] |
He fought to his last death |
| [09:53.202] |
He never had in him to surrender |
| [10:03.766] |
Just like me, he never could |
| [10:10.074] |
Surrender |
| [10:50.684] |
NORMA |
| [10:51.508] |
I can't go on with the scene! I'm too happy! |
| [11:02.479] |
May I say a few words, Mister DeMille? |
| [11:07.006] |
I can't tell you how wonderful it is to back in this studio making a picture. |
| [11:16.944] |
I promise you - I will never desert you again. This is my life. |
| [11:22.982] |
It always will be. There's nothing else. Just us. And the cameras. |
| [11:31.317] |
And all you wonderful people, out there in the dark. |
| [11:42.195] |
And now, Mister DeMille, I am ready for my close-up |
| [12:08.596] |
NORMA |
| [12:10.314] |
This time I'm staying |
| [12:12.509] |
I'm staying for good |
| [12:14.227] |
I'll be back where I was born to be |
| [12:20.635] |
With one look I'll be me |
