BETTY
What's going on, Joe, why am I so scared?
What was that woman saying?
She sounded so weird, I don't understand

Please, can you tell me what's happening?
Don't you love me anymore?
Shall I just go? Say something, Joe

JOE
Have some pink champagne and caviar
When you go visit with a star
The hospitality is stellar

BETTY
So this is where you're living?

JOE
Yes, it's quite a place, sleeps seventeen
Eight sunken tubs, a movie screen
A bowling alley in the cellar

BETTY
I didn't come to see a house, Joe

JOE
Sunset Boulevard, cruise the Boulevard
Win yourself a Hollywood palazzo
Sunset Boulevard, mythic Boulevard
Valentino danced on that terrazzo

BETTY
Who's it belong to?

JOE
Just look around you

BETTY
That's Norma Desmond

JOE
That's right on the money
That's Norma Desmond, that's Norma Desmond
That's Norma Desmond, that's Norma Desmond

BETTY
Why did she call me?

JOE
Give you three guesses

It's the oldest story in the book
Come see the taker being took
The world is full of Joes and Normas

Older woman, very well-to-do
Meet younger man, the standard cue
For two mechanical performers

BETTY
Just pack your things and let's go

JOE
You mean all my things, have you gone mad?
Leave all these things I've never had?
Leave this luxurious existence?

You want me to face that one-room hell?
That murphy bed, that rancid smell?
Go back to living on subsistence?

There's no time to begin a new life
Now I've finally made a perfect landing
I'm afraid there's no room for a wife
Not unless she's uniquely understanding

You should go back to Artie and marry the fool
And you'll always be welcome to swim in my pool

BETTY
I can't look at you anymore, Joe...
