Where have you been keeping that gorgeous face of yours?
In a deep freeze.
I almost reported you to the Bureau of Missing Persons. Fans, you all know Joe Gillis, the wellknown screen writer, opium smuggler and Black Dahlia suspect.
Give me your coat.
Let it ride for a while.
You're going to stay, aren't you?
That was the general idea.
Come on.
Judas E. Priest, who did you borrow that from? Adolphe Menjou?
Close, but no cigar.
Say, you're not really smuggling opium these days, are you?
Where's the bar?
Good party.
The greatest. They call me the Elsa Maxwell of the assistant directors. Hey, easy on the punch bowl. Budget only calls for three drinks per extra. Fake the rest.
Listen, Artie, can I stick around here for a while?
Sure, this'll go on all night.
I mean, could you put me up for a couple of weeks?
It just so happens we have a vacancy on the couch.
I'll take it.
I'll have the bellhop take care of your luggage.
Wait a minute. This is the woman I love. What's going on? Who was loaded?
Don't worry. She's just a fan for my literary output.
Walking out on the mob. What's the big idea?
I'm sorry about New Year's. Would you believe me if I said I had to be with a sick friend?
Someone in the formal set, no doubt, with a tencarat kidney stone.
The accent! I've got it: this guy is in the pay of a foreign government. Get those studs. Get those cufflinks.
I've got to run along. Thanks any way for your interest in my career.
I hate to think where that puts me. I could be her father.
I'm terribly sorry, Mr. de Mille.
It must be about that appalling script of hers. What can I say to her? What can I say?
I can tell her you're all tied up in the projection room. I can give her the brush ...
Listen, thirty million fans have given her the brush. Isn't that enough?
I didn't mean to
Of course you didn't. You didn't know Norma Desmond as a plucky little girl of seventeen, with more courage and wit and heart than ever came together in one youngster.
I hear she was a terror to work with.
She got to be. A dozen press agents working overtime can do terrible things to the human spirit. Hold everything.
We're ready with the shot, Mr. deMille.
You'll pardon me, Norma? Why don't you just sit and watch? O.K. Here we go.
Roll 'em.
Action! The scene starts.
Diane, it says here you're going to have mood swings, uncontrollable gas.
More proof God's a guy...
...and sex dreams where you actually have an orgasm!
Virgin Mary musta snuck that one in.
I mean it. I'm in. This is the closest thing to a goddamn family that I've ever had. If one of us needs something, we all do.
Stop it! This is crazy!
What the hell do you want?
I want to help. I'm part of this squad...
Grandma and Grandpa sent you pictures of a neighbor girl. They didn't want you to break out and come kidnap me.
Thank Gd. I was starting to think I'd killed the wrong man.
You shouldn't smoke so many of those.
I know, but it keeps down the size of my can.
They could kill you.
So could half the women in here. And I'd rather go out with a nice can... So watcha here for? To say how much you hate me or how much your grandparents hate me...
I don't hate you. I need your help.
My what?
Your help.
Now how the hell can I help you?
Okay, you can't tell anybody.
Gee, I'll sit out this afternoon's coffee talk. Whaddya want?
My best friend got pregnant.
Before you? Whoohoo!
I know that's what I said too. Anyway, we want to help her get some money for the baby by robbing a bank.
Well, shitfire, Kansas, that's the sweetest goddamn thing ever...
I know, but we can't quite figure out how to, y'know, do it.
So you need my help? Oh my Gd, this is like asking me for help with your homework. Hey, Mink, c'mere!
Kansas, I want you to meet someone special.
Oh, Jesus Christ, Mom! Like my life ain't a great big pileofshit 'cause you're in here? Now I have to add, "P.S. My mom's a dyke" too?
What?! Hush up, you mouthy little shit!
Hey, don't "mouthy shit" me I'm outta here.
Wait, Petunia. Mommy's a little amped up didn't get her yard time this morning. Mink ain't my bitch. She's a specialist... in banks.
Hannah, in order to get real answers from the netherworld, you've gotta have a Christian virgin run the board. Your kind is pure of heart the devil won't dick with you.
Well technically, I don't think I'm a virgin anymore.
Yeah. This summer at church camp? I'm pretty sure I had, y'know, an orgasm.
Hold up, hold up. Any sentence that starts with "at church camp" ain't leading to the big "O."
Oh my Gd! I'm not first!
But you're not married.
...so, while it's a laugh riot for the whole family, and Tim Conway is just about as funny as they come, especially when he goes...
Wait a minute. You watched the Apple fuckingDumpling Gang?!
I'm only allowed "G" movies.
Am I the only one who cares about this? At least I watched "Dog Day Afternoon!"
You sure you wanna go there?
Uh...maybe?
'Cause I will Jerry Springer you faster than you can say "Fatassed lesbian!"
Don't make me Jerry Lewis you guys for the rest.
Hey, I even took my parents' foster kid money. Phillipe's gonna have to gather rice without pants this month.
All of you!
Bank branch!
Bank branch!
All of you!
Really...
Yeah. "Itchy" sent us.
She did, did she? How is the old girl?
Definitely old.
That's Itchy, alright. How many y'need?
Oh please, we've all got bright futures ahead of us we're not going to tell anyone. Promise!
Maybe we can make a deal.
Screw Lucy!
Kansas?
Is that you down there?
