Scene: The Back Lot
متن موزیک
T-H-E, E-N-D
I can't believe it, I finished my first script
Shouldn't we open some champagne?
The best I can offer is a stroll to the water cooler at the end of the lot
Sounds good to me
I love the back lot here
It's all cardboard, all hollow, all phony
All done with mirrors
I think I love it better than any street in the world
I spent my childhood here
What were you?
Child actress?
No, but my family always expected me to become a great star
I had ten years of dramatic lessons, diction, dancing, everything you could think of
And then, the studio made a test
That is the saddest story I ever heard[BETTY]
Not at all
I was born two blocks from here
My father was head electrician at the studio until he died
And mother still works in wardrobe
Second generation, huh?
Third, grandma did stunt work
I guess it is kind of exciting, at that
Oh, finishing a script
What?
Are you alright?
Sure
Something's a matter, isn't it?[BETTY]
I had a telegram from Artie
Is something wrong?
He wants me to come out to Tennessee
He says it would only cost two dollars to get married in Clinch
What's stopping you?
Now that we finished the script
You're getting married, isn't that what you wanted?
Not anymore
Don't you love Artie?
Of course I do
I'm just not in love with him anymore, that's all
Why not? What happened?[BETTY]
You did
