Norma: I think I'll have De Mille direct it...We've made a lot of pictures together.
Joe: And you'll play Salome?
Norma: Who else?
Joe: Only asking. I didn't know you were planning a comeback.
Norma: I hate that word. It's return - a return to the millions of people who have never forgiven me for deserting the screen.
Joe: Fair enough.
Norma: (recalling) Salome - what a woman! What a part! The princess in love with a Holy Man. She dances the Dance of the Seven Veils. He rejects her, so she demands his head on a golden tray, kissing his cold, dead lips.
Joe: They'll love it in Pomona.
Norma: They'll love it every place. Read it. Read the scene just before she has him killed.
Joe: Never let another writer read your material. He may steal it.
Norma: I'm not afraid. Read it!
