06:57Quiet!
06:58Quiet!
06:59Quiet!
07:00Quiet!
07:01Quiet!
07:02Quiet!
07:03Quiet!
07:04You ready, Norman?
07:05Yeah.
07:07You ready, Miss, uh, what's your name?
07:09You'll soon know your name, Esther.
07:10The whole world's going to know it.
07:11But I'm so scared.
07:12Maybe I'd better not try it today.
07:13Oh, come on.
07:14Now, don't be foolish.
07:15They all had to go through this.
07:16Harlow, Lombard, Myrna Loy.
07:17And now, Esther Blodgett.
07:18All right.
07:19I'm ready.
07:20This is a take.
07:21Quiet!
07:22Today!
07:23Stay!
07:24I may as well tell you that my whole organization thinks I've gone a little nuts to sign you.
07:41Well, maybe they're right.
07:42I've been nuts before.
07:43You see, all the experts seem to think that we're going to come to star you in too.
07:50You see, all the experts seem to think that your type is a little mild for present-day taste.
07:55But I rather believe that tastes change, like eyebrows.
07:58And I think that also like eyebrows, tastes are going back to the natural.
08:01You look like a nice girl.
08:04I think I'm going to like you.
08:08That's not important.
08:10I think the public will like you.
08:11That is important.
08:13Yes, I see what you mean.
08:14I mean, I know it is.
08:16Only don't think it's going to be easy.
08:18Nothing you really want is ever given away free.
08:20You have to pay for it.
08:22And usually with your heart.
08:26Someone else told me that once.
08:28But you still have to work it out for yourself.
08:31Oh, well, all this is just a long way of saying, I'm glad you're with us and good luck to you.
08:35And now I'm going to turn you over to our demon press agent, Libby.
08:39Don't let him frighten you.
08:40He has a heart of gold.
08:41Only harder.
08:44And for the love of Pete, learn to close your mouth and keep it closed.
08:48Even in your love scenes.
09:02Are you a Russian?
09:04No, I was born in Fillmore, North Dakota.
09:06Oh, no.
09:09Frace saw a light of day in a mountain cabin.
09:12A trapper's hut, high up in the Rockies.
09:17Go on.
09:18Well, I always wanted to be an actress.
09:22Dreamed of footlights as lonely kitty.
09:25Are you sure there's no Russian in your family?
09:28Positive.
09:29That's a shame.
09:31Well, what does your father do?
09:32He's a farmer.
09:34Yeah.
09:35Social registered father.
09:38Fed up with hypocrisies of 400.
09:41Sort wilderness for consolation.
09:44There amidst the mountain flowers, he raised another blossom.
09:48His lovely little daughter.
09:50What's your name?
09:52Esther Victoria Blodgett.
10:01Greatly appreciating your attention in this matter.
10:03Very truly.
10:04Do you know what her name is?
10:06Esther Victoria Blodgett.
10:09Hey, we'll have to do something about that right away.
10:16Esther Victoria Blodgett.
10:19Well, that Blodgett's definitely out.
10:21Let's see.
10:22Esther Victoria.
10:24Victoria.
10:25Vicky.
10:25How about Vicky?
10:25Oh, I think that's terribly cute.
10:27Let's see.
10:28Vicky.
10:28Vicky what?
10:29Vicky, Vicky.
10:30Pronounced Vicky, Vicky.
10:32Siesta, Besta, Sesta, Desta, Festa.
10:38Oh, that's very pretty.
10:42Jesta, Hesta, Desta.
