| From Presenting Lily Mars |
| Irene |
Mrs. Thornway, when
you ask your son about a part for me, will you tell him I'd rather not play
Irene? Oh, you wouldn't? Not if she gets killed in the first act.
Let's see about that hat. Will you tell him
about me? Yes. And if he says no, will you make him give me a
part. Even a little one -- maybe, Irene. |
| Afraid |
You're afraid of me. I'm what?
You are! That's one thing I didn't know 'til now. There's a lot of things you
don't know about yourself. One of them is why you're making me go back over
that wall. Well, That's one thing I do know young lady, it's to teach you a
lesson. Just like a naughty little girl. I know why you treat me as a child,
it's because you're afraid to think of me as a women. |

| Actress |
What Mama? Nineteen. Nineteen and
nowhere. Some very successful people didn't get their start until well past 20.
Right now it looks like I'm gonna be well past everything, before I get my
chance to do what I've always dreamed of doing. Being an actress and a good one
too. |
| Bubble
Gum |
Come here, come here. Here are a
couple passes for the show tonight. Go down and see some acting, but for
heavens sake don't do anymore of it. Thank you Mr. Thornway. Thank you Mr.
Thornway, got any bubble gum? She just loves bubble gum! |
| Incubator |
Miss Mars, you do
understand don't you? Yes, you want me to live in an incubator and leave you
alone. |
| Surprised |
I guess you were kind of suprised
to see me pop up here tonight, weren't you. I was, but I shouldn't have been
knowing what a talent you have for popping up. |

| Lines |
Miss Mars what would you do? Well
look, I'll show you. Now you're Stephen, go on, say your lines. And then I want
to take you in my arms. And I want you to dearest, I've been away from them a
million years and I never want to leave you again. Curtain. |
| Lily |
You've heard of Sarah Bernhardt,
she really was a dilly, but Sarah Bernhardt couldn't compare to the gal that's
known as Lily. |
| Love |
I believe I can do it. What do
you think? I think I'm in love with you. |
| Minute |
Hello! Lily thanks for coming
back, I never enjoyed any actresses performance so much in my life. Well John,
I was only on the stage for a minute. Well, it was the happiest, it was the
most thrilling moment I ever hope to have in the theatre. It made me sure that
I was right about you. |
