Who's Betty Schaefer?

作曲 : Andrew Lloyd Webber

作詞 : Christopher Hampton/Don Black

NORMA: Is this what you're looking for, by any chance?

JOE: Why, yes

NORMA: Whose phone number is this?

I've been worried about the line of my throat.

I think this woman has done wonders with it

JOE: Good

NORMA: And I've lost half a pound since Tuesday

JOE: Very good

NORMA: Now it's after nine. I'd better get to bed

JOE: You had

NORMA: Are you coming up?

JOE: I think I'll read a while longer

NORMA: You went out last night, didn't you, Joe?

JOE: I went for a walk

NORMA: You took the car

JOE: I drove to the beach

NORMA: Who's Betty Schaefer?

JOE: Surely, you don't want me to feel as if I'm a prisoner in this house?

NORMA: You don't understand, Joe.

I'm under such a terrible strain

It's been so hard I even got myself a revolver.

The only thing that stopped me from killing myself was the thought of all those people,

waiting to see me back on the screen.

How could I disappoint them?

All I ask is a little patience, a little understanding

JOE: Norma, there's nothing to worry about. I haven't done anything

NORMA: Of course you haven't. Good night, my darling

JOE: I should have stayed there

Poor Norma

So desperate to be ready

For what would never happen

But Betty would be waiting

We had a script to finish

One unexpected love scene

Two people, both risking

A kind of happy ending
