Christopher Hampton - There's Been a Call/Journey to Paramount lyrics

[NORMA] There's been a call What did I say They want to see me right away Joe, Paramount, they love our child Mr. DeMille is going wild [JOE, spoken] Well, that's wonderful, Norma [NORMA] But it was some fool a**istant Not acceptable at all It he wants me, then Cecil B Himself must call [JOE, spoken] I don't know if this is the time to stand on ceremony [NORMA] I've been waiting twenty years now What's a few more days, my dear? It's happened, Joe I told you so The perfect year Now, let's go upstairs [JOE] Shouldn't you at least call back? [NORMA, spoken] No; they can wait until I'm good and ready [JOE, voiceover] It took her three days and she was ready She checked with her astrologer Who sacrificed a chicken She dressed up like a pharaoh Slapped on a pound of make-up And set forth in her chariot Poor Norma So happy Re-entering her kingdom [MAX, voiceover] If you will pardon me, Madame, the shadow over the left eye is not quite balanced [NORMA, voiceover] Thank you, Max [GUARD, spoken] Hey, that's enough of that [MAX, spoken] To see Mr. DeMille. Open the gate [GUARD, spoken] Mr. DeMille is shooting. You need an appointment [MAX, spoken] This is Norma Desmond. No appointment is necessary [GUARD, spoken] Norma who? [NORMA, spoken] Jonesy? [JONES, spoken] Why, if it isn't Miss Desmond. How have you been, Miss Desmond? [NORMA, spoken] Fine, Jonesy. Open the gate [JONES, spoken] You heard Miss Desmond [GUARD, spoken] They don't have a pa** [JONES, spoken] Stage 18, Miss Desmond [NORMA, spoken] Thank you, Jonesy. And teach your friend some manners. Tell him without me, there wouldn't be any Paramount Studio [JONES, spoken] Get me Stage 18. I have a message for Mr. DeMille [HEATHER, spoken] Mr. DeMille? [DEMILLE, spoken] What is it? [HEATHER, spoken] Norma Desmond is here to see you, Mr. DeMille [DEMILLE, spoken] Norma Desmond? [HEATHER, spoken] She's here at the studio [DEMILLE, spoken] It must be about that appalling script of hers. What shall I say? [HEATHER, spoken] Maybe I could give her the brush [DEMILLE, spoken] Thirty million fans have given her the brush. Isn't that enough? Give me a minute [NORMA, spoken] Won't you come along, darling? [JOE, spoken] It's your script. It's your show. Good luck [NORMA, spoken] Thank you, darling [HEATHER, spoken] Miss Desmond [DEMILLE, spoken] Well, well, well [NORMA, spoken] Hello, Mr. DeMille. The last time I saw you, we were someplace terribly gay. I was dancing on the table [DEMILLE, spoken] A lot of people were. Lindbergh had just landed [NORMA, spoken] You read the script, of course [DEMILLE, spoken] Well, yes... [NORMA, spoken] Now, I know how busy you are during shooting, but I really think you could have picked up the phone yourself, instead of leaving it so some a**istant [DEMILLE, spoken] I don't know what you mean, Norma [NORMA, spoken] Yes, you do [DEMILLE, spoken] Come on in
