Lyrics:
MAX Where have you been? JOE Out. I assume I can go out when I feel like it. MAX Madame is quite agitated. Earlier this evening, she wanted you for something and you could not be found. JOE Well, that's tough. MAX I don't think you understand, Mr. Gillis. Madame is extremely fragile. She has moments of melancholy. There have been suicide attempts. JOE Why? Because of her career? She's done well enough. Look at all the fan mail she gets every day. MAX I wouldn't look too closely at the postmarks if I were you. JOE You mean you write them? MAX Will you be requiring some supper this evening, sir? JOE No. And Max? MAX Yes, sir? JOE Who the hell do you think you are, Bringing my stuff up from my apartment without consulting me? I have a life of my own - now you're telling me I'm supposed to be a prisoner here. MAX I think, perhaps, sir, you will have to make up your mind to abide by the rules of this house. That is, if you want the job. JOE I started work on the script I hacked my way through the thicket A maze of fragmented ramblings By a soul in limbo She hovered there like a hawk Afraid I'd damage her baby NORMA What's that? JOE I thought we might cut away from the slave market... NORMA Cut away from me? JOE Norma, they don't want you in every scene NORMA Or course they do. What else would they have come for? Put it back. JOE I'd made my first big mistake I'd put my foot in the quicksand It wouldn't be a few days Paste and scissors This would take weeks The house was always so quiet Just me and Max and that organ No one phoned and nobody ever came And there was only one kind Of entertainment on hand Max, what's on this evening? I hope it's not one of her weepy melodramas MAX We'll be showing One of Madam's enduring classics "The Ordeal of Joan of Arc" JOE Oh, God. We saw that last week. MAX A masterpiece can never pall She is the greatest star of all
