00:31Now, now, now...
00:33Let's not have tears stain our skin, Joe.
00:39It's only me make-up.
00:42Just make-up.
00:51You know, it's such a strange thing.
00:56You know...
00:58You know...
01:01When I used to make-up Marilyn's eyes, she used to say...
01:06They aren't my eyes.
01:09They're our eyes.
01:13She was a delight.
01:18And sure enough, when she was on that screen, they were...
01:22They were our eyes.
01:25And they were... They were our eyes.

02:31No, they're... I mean, by some ego idiot who's 5,000 miles to the east or west,
02:36or perhaps dead, God only knows.
