Norma Jean & Marilyn Page #8

a direct violation

of the Geneva accords?.

Well, the uh trouble is we...

we are violating the Geneva agreement.

Uh, not as much as North Vietnamese are

but violating them never-theless.

So, whatever we do has to be done

with a certain amount of uh... secrecy.

And of course

there's always an element of uh...

danger in that, isn't there?.

Thanks, Mr. President,

for the things you've done...

Battles that you've won.

The way you deal with...

What's the matter, honey?.

You're wearing my dress.

That dress costs

twelve thousand dollars, you b*tch!

Is that the sort of language

a First Lady uses?.

I don't think so.

But first Ladies don't look like whores

they don't act like whores

and they don't stink like whores.

Stop it! Stop it!

Can't you see that

you're just going to ruin everything

if you go out there looking

like a high priced slut!

You have to wear something simple.

Something elegant.

Something befitting the wife

of a President.

Jack likes me to look sexy.

He says it gets rid

of the pain in his back.

Yeah, right.

This is better on me, anyway.

You're too fat to wear it.

Haven't you read,

Jackie only weighs twelve pounds...

Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot.

You only read Dostoyevski

or is it tolstoy?.

Can't you forget about Jackie?.!

It's just a political marriage.

He doesn't love her.

He never sticks his band up her dress

like he does to me!

You think you are so grand.

The President's whore!

How many women do you think he has?.

Isn't this what you wanted?.

You're the one who wanted

the nice clothes

and the money and the power.

I did this for you.

Bullshit!

You've never done anything for me.

But I'm gonna do something for you...

ohhhh...

What the hell is going on here?.

Marilyn, you were supposed

to be on stage an hour ago.

What did you take?.

What did you take!?.

I didn't take anything, Peter.

Nothing, I swear, that's the problem.

Okay.

I'll take care of it.

Thank you! Oh, Happy Birthday,

Mr. President!

Happy Birhtday to you!

Say, how'd you all like

to hear another one, huh?.

Honey, what on earth

did you do to this dress?.

I've had to sew

a whole new seam way up the fornt!

And it was plenty tight to begin with.

You know, I may have to open up a slit

in the back, just so you can walk.

I'm sorry, Hazel.

I can't find Sidney Guilaroff anywhere.

Somebody said he left

about a half an hour ago.

He's probably half way

to Idlewild by now.

The only hairstylist

still hanging around back stage

is Mickey Song.

He's the guy who does the Kennedy's.

Oooh, well, I sure

as hell don't want to look like Jackie.

You ask him to come in.

Hey, you tell him

I wanna look just like Jackie.

In the history of show business,

in fact,

there has been no one female who

has meant so much,

who's done more...What?.

Mr. President...

The late Marilyn Monroe.

Happy Birthday to you...

Happy Birthday to you...

Happy Birthday, Mr. President...

Happy Birthday to you...

The President's concerned.

We're all concerned,

in fact, that uh...

your involvement with him

has become a little too public

for comfort.

Especially since your performance

at the Birthday Gala.

But you were the one who asked me

to sing Happy Birthday to him.

And you...you telephone the President

from your dressing room

when other people are present.

And you put these phone calls through

the FOX switch-board.

Now, the family cannot,

and will not tolerate this level

of indiscretion.

He's going to marry me, Bobby.

No.

I don't believe

the President ever gave you

any reason to think that.

So now I have to ask you

not to attempt to contact him

in any way.

Now, he believes

it's the best thing for him,

and it's the best thing for America.

And personally, I...

I think he's crazy.

Listen, I'd uh...I'd like to give you

my private phone number.

This'll put you right through

to my desk at the Justice Department.

But they can't fire me.

I've never been fired before in my life

I had to promise them

that you'd be on the set on time

every morning.

Well, you've worked exactly four

of the last twenty-one days.

Every man woman and child in America

saw you singing Happy Birthday

to the President

when you to me you were home sick

with a virus!

Ah, honey, you're all out of chances.

But I was ill. You know know that I was

So Liz Taylor can get sick and I can't,

is that it?.

Every time she sneezes

they spend four million dollars

to break down the set

and move 'em to a warmer climate.

And her arms are fat.

Oh, Henry, her arms are so fat.

I make millions for them

and this is how they treat me!?.

F***ing Weinstein --

f***ing bastard -- Judas!

No, he's out to get me.

They're all out to get me!

Especially that stupid, no talent,

over-the-hill washed up Cukor.

What do you mean?. Of course you can!

You're the Attorney General

of the United Staes,

for chrissakes,

you could do whatever you want!

No! You can! You can!

No, you could!

If you wanted to you could put them

in jail.

You...you could,

you could audit their taxes,

you could deport them.

You can have them assassinated!

Oh, no. Oh...Bobby. Bobby...Oh...

God, Eddie, wouldn't you know it,

I'd get a dog with depression.

Uh...it's a beautiful house, Marilyn.

I'm impressed. I am.

Thanks.

You know, I've been planning

a trip to Mexico to pick some tiles

and furniture and stuff,

I'm actually gonna leave on Thursday.

It sounds great.

Did I tell you?.

I've been renegotiating my deal at FOX?.

They're gonna hire me

back at twice my old salary.

I don't even wanna ask.

You know, Eddie...

Being with you, is like old times.

Rmember the Ambassador?.

Yeah, I do.

You used to love me then.

You know, Eddie.

When I was little, nobody loved me.

Nobody at all.

But then when I grew up,

I learned that I could make anyone fall

in love with me...

Just by taking off my dress.

Well, I guess

I've gotten smarter since then,

so...I'm gonna say goodnight.

You're leaving Eddie?.

Yeah, I have to get back.

Hey, did I tell you?.

I made a settlement with FOX.

They're gonna pay me five times

my old salary.

I'm gonna start to work next Thursday.

What happened to Mexico?.

After I get back from Mexico.

Have a safe trip.

There are eighty-eight tiles around

the rim of the swimming pool.

There are three-hundred-sixty-seven

flagstones in the walkway.

There are one thousand,

eight hundred seventy-four tiles...

on the roof...

No! I told you, you have to walk

at least three steps behind me!

There are eighty-eight tiles around

the rim of the swimming pool.

There are three hundred sixty seven

flagstones on the walkway.

There are one thousand...

Hello, sweetheart.

Oh, yes! Yes!

You are happy, aren't you?.

Aren't you happy?.

Oh, yes, you are!

You are.

Robert Kennedy residence.

Hi. It's Marilyn.

Could I talk to Bobby, please?.

Just a moment, Miss Monroe.

Angel?.

Mr. Kennedy's unavailable

to speak to you.

He is accepting no more calls

until further notice.
