Norma Jean & Marilyn Page #5

Please don't speak that way.

I do. I do want to play

those roles someday, and Grushenka, too

Gru-shenka.

Accent on the first syllable, please.

I have to be more established first.

I'm so scared.

You don't know how scared I am.

I have these voices in my head

and some days

I feel like I'm about to explode.

I can't do it without you.

I need you to be there.

I'll do anything you want.

Just tell me.

Tell me what you want me to do.

Don't you know that a man being rich

is like a girl being pretty?.

You might not want to marry a girl

just because she was pretty,

but my goodness, doesn't it help?.

And if your daughter wanted to marry

a poor man...

Cut!!!

What?.

No, no, no. You don't yell cut

because you are not the director.

She botched the line.

And do not take that tone with me,

Mr. Hawks, I studied with Reinhardt!

Really?. Well you must of flunked.

I want you off my set

and don't come back.

Howard, if she isn't here,

then neither am I.

You know,

maybe that's not such a bad idea.

I know a hundred actresses

who could play this part.

Every single one of

them would shoe up on time,

know her lines and sing, dance and

act a damn sight better than you can.

Now look what you have done.

Well, there are no broken bones,

but she needs to stay off her feet

for several days.

How many days?.

Don't... Don't it hurts.

Can you do something?.

I can give her something that' ll help,

sure.

Oh, please. Please.

So where is she?. It's eight thirty.

Marilyn sometimes runs

a little late, Joe.

Two hours!?.

It takes a lot of work to look like

Marilyn Monroe --

even if you are Marilyn Monroe.

And speak of the devil!

You look terrific, honey.

Thank you.

Say hello to Joe DiMaggio.

How do you do, Mr. DiMaggio?.

It's always a pleasure to meet one of

David's friends.

He's the best publicist in town.

Well...

So, are yoou in show business, too?.

Marilyn, you're kidding?.

He's only the greatest baseball player

since the Babe.

Oh...Who's the Babe?.

What a kidder.

Huh. Joe?.

Uh...Gee, Sil...Look at the time.

Um...You know, we're gonna leave you

two kids alone.

Get acquainted, okay?.

And uh, don't worry about the check,

alright?.

It's all taken care of.

Uh, the Veal Marsala's great,

by the way. Enjoy!

Cheers.

Cheers.

Oh, this guy's elec-trifying.

Does he speak?.

I'm afraid I don't know

very much about baseball.

Well, you wear baggy pants,

chew tobacco and hit a ball

with a stick, okay?.

Marry me.

I'll teach you all about it.

You just met her three minutes ago,

you moron.

Why, Mr. DiMaggio,

I've only just met you.

Well, in that case,

have dinner with me tomorrow night.

Well, why don't we start

with dinner tonight, Joe?.

Surely you cannot be serious

about this person.

I am certain he has never read a book

in his entire life!

Joe is very sweet, Natasha.

He makes me feel safe.

He takes care of me.

And he's very good with his hands.

I take care of you!

Natasha...sometimes you sound just like

a jealous boyfriend.

Mrs. DiMaggio, where will you live?.

Anywhere my husband wants.

Marriage is my main career now.

Ohh-ho-ho. Are you planning a family?.

Of course. Manhood means many things

but womenhood means only one.

I'd love to have six children,

God willing.

I won't let you ruin us, Marilyn!

You can't do this!

Will you keep house for your husband?.

She's a movie star!

I'm looking forward to it.

I'm learning how to cook all of

Joe's favorite foods,

Iike steak and lasagna. Right?.

No! No! No! No! No! Noooo!

Well, I can see

you have a real aptitude for this.

You're a regular Mama Leone.

Cannot wait to watch you scrub

the toilet bowl.

Oh, will you lookit f***in' Woodling?.

He's dumb as an Irish Setter!

He can catch a ball

like a frog zappin' a fly,

after he got it,

he don't know what to do with it.

Rookie's Lefty.

Are you crazy?.

We're tryin' to watch a ball game here!

Hey! Hey!

Here comes the Neanderthal.

Hey Joe, you gotta see this!

Rizzuto just took

a line drive to the nuts!

What's wrong, Marilyn?.

What could possibly be wrong?.

You are burying us alive,

that's what's wrong! We are cooped up

in this house all day watching

"Hopalong Cassidy"

and "Father Knows Best."

You don't even talk to us!

All you care about is hanging out

with your dimwit pals,

sitting around burping and farting

and scratching their balls!

Are you sure you're okay?.

Of course we're not okay, you blockhead

We need some room to breath!

We need to work!

We need to feel the crowds and the fans

and we need to be in a city

with a pulse!

I'm fine.

Okay. Good. Listen, uh,

just forget about the lasagna.

Just make some spaghetti, okay?.

The fellahs are hungry.

Lunch is served!

Alright. Marilyn, Tom... All set?.

Now, darling Marilyn,

when you get to the...

What you call it?. Crating...

Watch it with your heel. Alright?.

And roll sound!

Rolling!

Mark it.

And...action!

You know... The sense of being in love.

That's a very interesting point of view.

Oh, do you feel the breeze

from the subway?.

Oh...

Marilyn! Marilyn!

Billy?. Billy?.

What is it?.

Um, I don't know... The...

The panties are really sheer.

Even up on the crane I could still see

the dark pubes.

Jesus.

Marjorie. Marjorie?. Please.

Eh, could we put another pair

of panties over those panties?.

Thank you.

In the space of a single day,

I believe we have increased Marilyn's

wardrobe of underthings by 200 percent.

Joe, Joe. Hey, what do you think of

Marilyn showin' off...

I had no idea they didn't renew

your contract.

What a lousy break.

Yep. I've been thinkin' about

gettin' back to the city for awhile now

and try my hand at Broadway --

where they appreciate real talent.

Hey, am I distrubing you, Marilyn?.

Do you realize that

you haven't taken your eyes off

your goddamn reflection since

I've been here?.

Well, gee, Eddie,

I hate to break it to you,

but what do you think actresses do

in their dressing rooms?.

I don't know.

I guess it depends

on how self-absorbed they are.

He's back?. The life-guard?.

Don't let him insult you like that.

Get out of here.

Sure. I was just leaving.

No, no! Not you, Eddie.

It was just a line that

I was working on.

Could you please sit down?. I'm sorry.

Please.

Well, you delivered it well.

Like he would know?.

You know, sometimes I have to look

in the mirror to see who's there.

Know what I mean?.

Nope.

Much better.

I see you're mixin' booze

with your downers now, huh?.

What booze, Eddie?. It's Champagne.

It's still booze

and the combination can kill you.

What?. You're gonna lecture me now?.

Am I...Am I the only person

that tells you this stuff?.

What about your husband, huh?.

And what about your...

Your...Your friends?.

I mean, for chrissake,

don't you have any friends?.

Well, of course I have friends,

Eddie. Ha!

But see these here are my best friends.

They're the only ones

who are completely loyal.

The only ones
