That was before.

I know it was before.

Come on and get dressed.

No!

You just gonna sit here forever?

Yes!

Tonight and tomorrow night

and for as long as I like.

I don't want any

of your homemade remedies.

I know what you're trying to do.

And the best thing you can do for me

is to just leave me alone!

You and everybody else.

And thanks for the sympathy,

I don't want it.

Not from you or anybody!

Sympathy? That's not what you're getting

from me, baby.

You don't deserve it.

You're a great monument

to Norman Maine, you are.

He was a drunk and he wasted his life,

but he loved you.

And he took enormous pride in the one

thing in his life that wasn't a waste, you.

His love for you and your success.

That was the one thing in his life

that wasn't a waste. And he knew it.

Maybe he was wrong to do what he did,

I don't know.

But he didn't want to destroy that,

destroy the only thing he took pride in.

And now you are doing the one thing

he was terrified of, you're wiping it out!

You're tossing aside the one thing

he had left.

You're tossing it right back into the ocean

after him!

You're the only thing that remains

of him now.

And if you just kick it away,

it's like he never existed...

...like there never was a Norman Maine

at all.

Will you wait for me?

- Vicki! How are you?

- How are you? It's good to see you.

- It's been so long. You look wonderful.

- Thank you.

She looks great, doesn't she? You, too.

We gotta go now.

The next star listed to appear

on your program is Vicki Lester.

But we're all of us aware of

the tragic circumstances which prevent...

... Vicki Lester's appearance here tonight.

It's with the deepest sympathy...

Will you forgive me for a moment?

Vicki Lester will appear tonight!

Here she is, ladies and gentlemen,

a star that shines bright and high.

As you know this program is being

broadcast all over the world.

Before you sing for us, I know

that your millions of fans everywhere...

... are hoping you'll say a few words

to them.

Won't you?

Hello, everybody.

This is Mrs. Norman Maine.

"You brought a new world to me

"And that it'll always, always be"
