The Phone Call

作曲 : Andrew Lloyd Webber

作詞 : Christopher Hampton/Don Black

NORMA, on the phone: Hello, is this Gladstone 9281? Miss Schaefer?

Hello, Miss Schaefer, you must forgive me for calling so late

But I really feel it's my duty. It's about Mr. Gillis

You do know a Mr. Gillis?

Well, exactly. How much do you know about him?

Do you know where he lives?

Do you know what he lives on?

NORMA: I want to spare you a lot of sadness

I don't know what he's told you

But I can guarantee you

He doesn't live with mother

Or what you'd call a roommate

He's just a - I can't say it

Poor Betty, you ask him

I'd love to hear his answer

Joe!

JOE, on the phone: That's right, Betty, why don't you ask me?

NORMA: Don't

JOE, on the phone: Or better yet, come over and see for yourself.

Yes, right now

The address is ten thousand eighty-six, Sunset Boulevard

NORMA: Don't hate me, Joe.

I did it because I need you.

Look at me. Look at my hands.

Look at my face. Look under my eyes.

How can I go back to work if I'm wasting away?

No! Don't stand there hating me, Joe.

Shout at me, strike me, but say you don't hate me

Joe!
