My Week With Marilyn Page #7

No, he wanted me to find it.

He said he wished

he'd never married me.

Why do the people

I love always leave me?

I will never leave you.

All people ever see is Marilyn Monroe.

As soon as they realize

I'm not her, they run.

You're different.

You're not like that.

You should date that wardrobe girl.

She's so pretty.

I don't want to.

I love you.

This is nice.

It's like spoons.

I used to do this with Johnny.

- Who's Johnny?

- Johnny Hyde.

He was my agent back in the old days.

He was thin just like you.

Marilyn, do one thing for me.

Mm...

Come to the studio on-time tomorrow

and show everybody what you can do.

Show Larry that you are a great actress.

OK.

No matter what

others may say or do

Light of heart and fancy free

That's the way to start

There will be nothing to lose

Till you lose your

Heart

- Oh!

- This is intolerable!

- With deepest respects, sir.

My message was so important,

I had no choice but to intrude.

- Revolution?

- No, sir.

Miss Marina's aunt has

been in a motor accident.

What?

Oh, go away, you silly man.

Miss Marina, your aunt. Do you realize

how serious her condition is?

Well, it's her own fault.

She has no right out

this time of night. She's 93!

- Cut it there.

Well, whatever it was you did

to her, boy, keep doing it.

- I've never seen her so happy.

- Yes.

- We need Colin

at the house right away.

Got a pain in my side,

for Christ's sake.

What are they trying to make me

think I'm crazy or something?

Is that what it is? You know I don't

just rev it up like a Model T.

I don't just crank it up.

No one's asking you to just crank it up.

We're worried about you...

Isn't that what you're saying?

I was sick, for God's sake!

- Can I be sick?

- Colin's here.

Colin.

Colin.

Colin thinks I'm a good actress.

Don't you, Colin?

- Yes I do. You were wonderful today.

- See?

- Marilyn's tired now.

- I want him to stay with me.

And what would Arthur say

if he knew Colin was here?

You heard what she said,

she wants me here. Come on.

You have no idea of your

position in the world, Marilyn.

You are the greatest actress

that has ever been.

Mm?

I love you like a daughter.

- Oh.

- My darling girl. I know it's hard now.

But you will survive this and go on

to better things. You're young.

Your life is ahead of you,

just beginning.

Sit with Colin, mm?

Oh, Paula, I'm sorry.

- Come here.

- Oh, no.

- Come here. I'm here now.

Colin?

- I'll look after you.

- Don't leave.

- I'm not.

- Please don't leave.

- I'm not. Sh.

- Please don't leave.

Please don't leave.

Oh.

Oh, it hurts, it hurts!

It's a baby! It's a baby!

I can't lose the baby! Colin!

Oh!

Roger! Call a doctor!

Who's in charge here?

I've given Mrs. Miller an injection

and the bleeding stopped.

But she needs to stay in bed tomorrow,

and after that she'll be fine.

I suggest someone stays with her.

She'll be safe with me. Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Good night, then.

Was she really pregnant, sir?

I think that's a private matter

between Mr. and Mrs. Miller, don't you?

Arthur's on his way back.

When this movie is over,

I'm gonna settle down

and be a good wife to him.

I'm gonna learn to make matzo-ball soup

as good as his dad.

We have to forget this

whole thing ever happened.

I don't want to forget.

Let me protect you from all this.

Oh. What are you gonna do?

- Marry me?

- Why not?

You could quit this.

Forget Marilyn Monroe.

Forget Hollywood. Let it all go.

Just let it go.

I couldn't just give it up.

Why not?

Why not, when it drives you crazy?

You think I'm crazy?

I just meant that you could be happy.

I am happy.

Of course you're happy.

You're the biggest star in the world.

You're right.

We have to forget all this.

So from now on, I'm just

the third assistant director,

and we will never look

at each other again.

Maybe just a wink.

Once in a while.

- My dear. My dear.

- Yes?

- They're ready for you on set.

- Marilyn?

- Just arrived.

Only an hour late.

Not bad by her standards.

Perhaps we'll finish this

bloody film after all.

- Five-two-seven. Take one.

- Cut it there.

- And check that, please.

Five-eight-four, take two.

Take five.

Six-four-nine, take two.

Let's cut it there.

- Very quiet, studio.

I found a dream

Laying in your arms

The whole night through

I'm yours

No matter what others may say

Or do

Light of heart and fancy free

That's the way to start

There will be nothing to lose

Till you lose your heart

First love is such sweet despair, Colin.

Cut. That's a wrap.

She's there.

I hope you will all forgive me.

It wasn't altogether my fault,

but I've been ill.

I'd like you to remember I tried.

Lucy, um...

I was wondering if you were

doing anything on Saturday.

I'm washing my hair.

Did she break your heart?

A little.

Good. It needed breaking.

We're back, everyone!

All right...

You do look, my son, in a moved

sort, as if you were dismayed.

Be cheerful, sir.

Our revels now are ended.

We are such stuff

as dreams are made on,

and our little life

is rounded with a sleep.

Prospero.

She's quite wonderful.

No training, no craft to speak of.

No guile, just pure instinct.

She's astonishing.

- You should tell her that.

- Oh, I will. But she won't believe me.

President Taft.

It's probably

what makes her great.

It's almost certainly what

makes her so profoundly unhappy.

Oh, Miss Marina,

won't you have some champagne?

Oh, I don't know, Your Grand Ducal.

You really think I ought?

I tried my best to change her,

but she remains brilliant, despite me.

Maybe just up to... Ah!

Do you know, I think directing a movie

has to be just about

the best job ever invented.

But Marilyn's cured me

of ever wanting to do it again.

- Well, now I'm back to the theater.

John Osborne's writing a piece for me.

Sir, I thought you hated

all that Royal Court stuff.

Well, Miller made me see

things a little differently.

Thank you, Colin, for all your help.

Glad you ran away to the circus?

- My dear.

Uh... ow.

I've got a solemn word

of warning for you.

What is that, my beloved?

You know what's going to happen.

I'm going to fall in love with you.

I'm going to fall in love with you

because I always, always do.

There you go.

Buy a girl a drink?

I'll get another one

of those, please, Barry.

I wasn't going to leave

without saying goodbye.

Don't forget me.

As if I could.

Everybody else on the picture

wishes they could.

They don't understand you.

Walk me to my car?

Nice place you got here.

Thanks for being on my side.

Looking a couple of inches taller

than when I first saw you.

Her embrace.

Her belief in me.

And the joy she gave.

That was her gift.

When I think of her now, I think

of that time when a dream came true.

And my only talent

was not to close my eyes.

That old black magic

Has me in its spell

That old black magic

That you weave so well

And down and down I go

Round and round I go

In a spin

Lovin' that spin I'm in
