Completion of the Script

In December, the rains came one
Great big package, over-sized
Just like everything else in California
And it came right through
The roof of my room above the garage so
She had me moved into the
Main house into what
Max called "the room of
The husbands" and on
A clear day, the theory was
You could see Catalina and little
By little I worked
Through to the end of the script at which
Point I might have left: only by
Then those two boys from
The finance company had traced my
Car and towed it away
And I hadn't seen one single dollar
Of cash money since I arrived

Stop that! Today's the day

What do you mean?

Max is going to deliver
The script to Paramount

You're really going to give it to DeMille?

I've just spoken with my astrologer she
Read DeMille's horoscope she read mine

Did she read the script?

DeMille is Leo I'm Scorpio
Mars is transiting Jupiter
And today is the day of closest conjunction

Oh well, that's all right, then

Max

Yes, Madame

Make sure it goes to Mr deMille in person

Well

Great day

It's been real interesting

Yeshasn't it?

I want to thank you for
Trusting me with your baby

Not at all, it is I who should thank you

Will you call and let me know as
Soon as you have some news?

Call? Where?

My apartment

Oh, but you couldn't possibly
Think of leaving now, joe

Norma, the script is finished

No, Joe no it's just the beginning
It's just the first draft i couldn't dream
Of letting you go, i need your support

Well, I can't stay

You'll stay on with full salary, of course

Oh, Norma, it's not the money
Yes, of course
I'll stay until we get some sort
Of news back from Paramount

Thank you thank you, Joe

So, Max wheeled out that foreign bus
Brushed the leopardskin upholstery
He trundled along to Paramount
To hand Cecil B our hopeless opus
My work was over i was feeling no pain
Locked up like John the Baptist
