betty's office at paramount - andrew lloyd webber lyrics

[betty, spoken]
t-h-e e-n-d! i can’t believe it, i’ve finished my first script!

[joe, spoken]
stop it, you’re making me feel old

[betty, spoken]
it’s exciting, though, isn’t it?

[joe, spoken]
how old are you, anyway?

[betty, spoken]
twenty-two

[joe, spoken]
smart girl

[betty, spoken]
shouldn’t we open some champagne?

[joe, spoken]
best i can offer is a stroll to the water cooler at the end of the lot

[betty, spoken]
sounds good to me. i love the back lot here. 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

[joe, spoken]
what were you, a child actress?

[betty, spoken]
no, but my family always expected me to become a great star
i had ten years of dramatic lessons, diction, dancing, everything you can think of; then the studio made a test

[joe, spoken]
that’s the saddest story i ever heard

[betty, spoken]
not at all. come on. i was born two blocks from here. my father was head electrician at the studio until he died, and mother still works in wardrobe

[joe, spoken]
second generation, huh?

[betty, spoken]
third. grandma did stunt work for pearl white

(as they walk down the manhattan street, the stage begins to revolve slowly, so that they end up walking downstage;
and the flimsy struts holding up the substantial sets are gradually revealed. joe and betty walk in silence for a while; betty’s expression is deeply preoccupied. they come to a halt in front of the water cooler.)

[joe, spoken]
i guess it is kind of exciting, at that, finishing a script

(he fixes a couple of paper cups of water, and hands one to betty, who’s miles away and comes to with a start when he touches her arm.)

[betty, spoken]
what?

[joe, spoken]
are you all right?

[betty, spoken]
sure

[joe, spoken]
something’s the matter, isn’t it?
