Valley of the Dolls Page #8

But watch it, my friend.

Find yourself a good girl.

Have kids.

Or one day you'll wind up

alone like me...

...and wonder what the hell happened.

Allison's gotta go. I will not let her steal

the show. She almost did at rehearsal.

- It's too late. It can't be done.

- She hasn't got a contract.

She can be fired right now.

I want her out.

The old star sickness begins to appear.

No more gratitude, just power.

I'm not gonna do it, Neely.

You don't fool me, you're scared.

You wanna stay in good with Merrick.

I should've known this was

gonna happen. Anne warned me.

What the hell does Anne know?

I didn't get dough handed to me because

of my good cheekbones, I worked for it.

She's gone through life on a pass

because of her damn looks.

I wanna tell you something.

Everyone gets payback. Everyone!

I'm not everyone. I don't have to live

by stinking rules for ordinary people.

I licked pills, booze and the funny farm.

I don't need anybody or anything.

That's good, because I'm leaving.

Who needs you? I'm sick of you.

You're just an agent.

And you're just a Helen Lawson.

And not even that,

because she's a professional.

They love Helen Lawson,

then they love Neely O'Hara.

Come on, you guys. Move it.

Come on. Let's go, girls.

- Where's Miss O'Hara?

- She's in her dressing room.

Come on, move it down.

Curtain time, Miss O'Hara.

- Miss O'Hara?

- Where is she?

- She won't open up the door.

- Neely?

Open the door, you're on.

Neely?

- Hi.

- That's your costume for the second act.

- I'll do the second act first.

- Quick, get the understudy.

I'm ready, Mr. Hamilton.

You get lost, sister, I'm fine.

I'm just dandy.

Let go of me, you big jerk!

It's getting late.

I think we ought to go.

The understudy was great.

Thank you.

What happened to Neely?

Are you kidding?

They said she had laryngitis.

- Who had laryngitis?

That new girl was terrific.

She sure was.

It was a lovely evening, nevertheless.

My beautiful little dolls.

Just one, and one more.

We're closing now, Miss O'Hara.

All right, Edward. All right.

Here. Keep the change.

Shall I call you a cab?

I don't need it.

I don't need anybody.

Because I got talent, Edward.

Big talent.

They love me.

Hey! Where is everybody?

Hey, everybody, where are you?

Where are you?

Gone.

Gone.

Everybody's gone.

The hell with them.

Who needs them?

The whole world loves me!

Where are you?

Lyon?

Anne?

Jennifer?

Ted!

Mel.

Oh, God...

God...

God?

I'm Neely.

Neely O'Hara!

Oh, Neely.

Neely! Neely!

For so many years

I prayed for this moment.

Now that it's come,

I don't feel a thing.

Does that mean you won't marry me?

It wouldn't work, Lyon.

Isn't there anything I can do

to change your mind?

No, Lyon, not now.

Anne.

Perhaps someday, Lyon.

I don't know.

Goodbye.
