What kind of a silly thing was that to do? Norma Desmond:
[despairing]
To fall in love with you, that was the idiotic thing. Joe Gillis:
Sure would have made attractive headlines: "Great Star Kills Herself For Unknown Writer". Norma Desmond:
Great stars have great pride. Go away. Go to that girl of yours. Joe Gillis:
Look, I was making that up. Because i thought the whole thing was a mistake. I didn't want to hurt you. You've been good to me. You're the only person in this stinking town that has been good to me. Norma Desmond:
[inconsolable]
Why don't you just say thank you and go? Go! Go! Joe Gillis:
Not until you promise to act like a sensible human being. Norma Desmond:
[weeping]
I'll do it again! I'll do it again! I'll do it again. Joe Gillis:
[as band starts playing Auld Lang Syne]
Happy New Year, Norma. Norma Desmond:
