00:00...at Sunset and Coronado.
00:02Evidently been drinking for days.
00:04Resisted arrest and injured one of the arresting officers.
00:07How do you plead?
00:08Guilty.
00:10You're Norman Maine the actor, aren't you?
00:15You've come pretty low, haven't you?
00:17There isn't a man here who's had the advantages that you've had.
00:20Look what you've done with him.
00:21You're nothing but an irresponsible drunk,
00:23driving about the streets with the power to inflict death or injury on innocent people.
00:27I think we'd better deny you that power for a while.
00:31Ninety days in the city jail.
00:33Please wait.
00:42I'm his wife.
00:44Yes, I recognize you, Miss Lester.
00:49Please, Judge.
00:51I promise you this won't happen again.
00:54I'll be responsible for him.
00:57If you just won't send him there.
01:01You realize that this man, when drunk, is obviously a menace to public safety.
01:07And you realize too, Miss Lester,
01:10the responsibility you'll be assuming to this court and to the Commonwealth.
01:14I do.
01:19Sentence suspended.
01:21Prisoner remanded to custody of wife.
01:24You can get him at the jail entrance, madam.
01:29Jose Rodriguez.
01:32Plain drunk.
01:33Picked up at first and main.
01:34Second event.
01:36How do you plead?
01:37I think I'm guilty,
01:39your honor.
01:40Sixty days.
01:41Theon, I'm so tired.
01:59Hold it, Mr. May.
02:00The picture.
02:01Oh, no, please.
02:01What about a statement for the press?
02:02Oh, no, please.
02:03He's still asleep.
02:20He's been asleep nearly all day.
02:22That's the best thing for him.
02:23It's awful to see this happen to someone you love.
02:28And know in your heart,
02:29that it can't get me better.
02:31I only know that all I can do now is stay with him and try to help him.
02:35So will I.
02:37And the Twiis will take care of him.
02:40You're very fond of him, aren't you, Oliver?
02:42Well, I'm very fond of both of you.
02:45Then I know you'll understand what I have to tell you.
02:49And after what happened last night, I think you already know what it is.
02:53I can't do any more pictures.
02:55I'm going away for good with Norman.
02:57But you can't do that, Mickey.
02:59You're at the very peak of your success.
03:00And you've worked so hard to achieve it.
03:02That's what's been wrong.
03:05Oh, I've thought it all out.
03:07Maybe if I hadn't been away from him so much,
03:09last night and what went before, it wouldn't have happened.
03:13Oh, I know it's too late to think about that now,
03:15but it may not be too late to go away with him and start over somewhere.
03:20It's your life you're giving up, Vicki.
03:24So I can try to give Norman back his.
03:29Can you honestly tell me I'm wrong to do it?
03:32No, Vicki.
03:36I cannot honestly tell you that.
03:42Then there'll be no more.
03:44Vicki Lester.
03:50Come on, walk to the door with me.
04:02Goodbye, Vicki.
04:02Goodbye.
04:07Goodbye, Vicki.
04:07You were a grand girl.
04:11Good luck, Mrs. Norman Maine.
04:12Goodbye.
04:14Goodbye.
05:14Hey, darling.
05:30This is Maine coming in to apologize again.
05:37I'm sorry, dear, but it isn't you.
05:42What other troubles have you got?
05:45None.
05:45I was just playing a scene with myself.
05:51Now look, I'm just coming out of the jitters and you're just going into them.
05:57This is a swell household.
05:59Isn't it?
06:00I'll tell you what we'll do.
06:02I'll promise to brace up if you go on the wagon.
06:07I guess I have been drinking too much.
06:11You know what I'm going to do?
06:13I'm going to be an athlete.
06:15You mean with great big muscles and everything?
06:17Well, roughly speaking.
06:20Going to join the YMCA?
06:23No, it costs too much.
06:25And I'm going wading out in our front yard.
06:27Now?
06:28Sure.
06:30Would you like me to go with you?
06:32Sure, if you'd like to.
06:33Normie, I don't think I will.
06:37It might spoil this beautiful, natural way.
06:40Yeah, I guess that's right.
06:42Darling, look, could you have a hot, tarty...
06:45I mean, some hot soup for me when I come back?
06:49Some hot soup?
06:51Yeah, and I'll make some of those nice sandwiches.
06:53Normie, do you have to?
07:03Don't stay in too long.
07:17Hey!
07:20Do you mind if I take just one more look?
07:33No, no, no, no, no.
08:03No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
08:23What a nice drink of water he had in 20 years.
08:33And then he had to get it by accident.
08:39Pardon me.
08:40How do you wire congratulations to the Pacific Ocean?
08:51There she is now!
08:52Oh, you can't see her face!
08:56Hello, Vicky.
09:03Get away, can't you?
09:04Come on, Vicky, let's see your face.
09:05Vicky, will you sign my book for me?
09:07Right Mrs. Norman May.
09:08Don't you care, Vicky, you get over it.
09:10Stand back, can't you?
09:12Don't you cry, dearie, he wasn't so much.
09:14Oh.
09:15Oh.
09:24Don't you?
09:26Get away, can't you?
09:27Come on, Vicky, let's see your face.
09:29Vicky, will you sign my book for me?
09:30Right Mrs. Norman May.
09:31Don't you care, Vicky, you get over it.
09:33Stand back, can't you?
09:35Closed or censored and murdered.
09:37Don't you cry, dearie, he wasn't so much.
09:39Oh, oh!
09:44Do you mind if I take just one more look?
10:14Here are the paychecks for the servants' graves. You'll find a very nice bonus in each one.
10:29Miss Lester asked me to thank you for your kindness and service.
10:32If there's anything I can do for the little lady, I should be glad to do it.
10:36She would appreciate your attending to the closing of the Beverly Hills house.
10:39Put down those drunks! Put it down, I said!
10:44Well, where is she?
10:46In the bedroom. Who are you?
10:48Oh, I'm her grandmother. Get off the way.
10:55Esther! Granny, darling!
10:59Oh, I'm so glad to see you. What made you come?
11:02Oh, I know when I'm needed.
11:04Now get out of here. Go on, get out of here, all of you.
11:07I want to talk to my granddaughter alone.
11:09I came just as quickly as I could.
11:12But I'm going home. I sent you a wire yesterday.
11:15Hm.
11:20Sit down.
11:25Is it true that you're going to quit the movies?
11:27I never want to hear them again.
11:32What are you running away from, little girl?
11:34I'm not running away.
11:35I'm not running away.
