Paramount Lyricsby . From Sunset Boulevard Paramount by The gates and open areas at the front of the Paramount lot, leading to the studios and the administration blocks. it is morning and a variety of YOUNG HOPEFULS are milling about in the forecourt, waiting for their interviews, assignments or auditions, and trying to impress one another. As this world gradually assembles before our eyes, JOE'S tone changes; HE continues to address the audience. JOE (V.O.) Let me take you back six months I was at the bottom of the barrel I'd had a contract down at Fox but I'd fallen foul of Darryl. Now I had a date at Paramount along with about a thousand other writers, if it didn't come up roses, I'd be covering funerals back in Dayton, Ohio. I'd hidden my car three blocks away, turned out to be a smart move. (Joe joins the young hopefuls; these include MYRON, a director; MARY, an actress, blonde and beautiful, artfully dishevelled; and JOANNA, a writer, dark and intense. THEY greet each other with air-kisses, casual waves and ritualized exchanges.) JOE Hi there, Myron MYRON How's it hanging? JOE I've got a date with Sheldrake MYRON I'm shooting a western down at Fox JOE How can you work with Darryl? MYRON We should talk JOE Gotta run BOTH Let's have lunch MARY Hi, Mr. Gillis JOE You look great MARY I'm up for an audition JOE Sheldrake is driving me insane MARY Don't forget me when you're casting JOE We should talk MARY Gotta run BOTH Let's have lunch JOE Morning, Joanna MARY Hi there, Myron JOANNA Who are you meeting MYRON You look great JOE Sheldrake, but do I need it? MARY I've spent the last month fasting JOANNA I'm handing in my second draft MYRON I'm shooting a western down at Fox JOE I'd really love to read it MARY Don't forget me when you're casting JOANNA We should talk MYRON We should talk JOE Gotta run MARY Gotta run BOTH Let's have lunch BOTH Let's have lunch (JOE approaches the gate, where he's challenged by JONES, the elderly guard. Underscoring continues.) JOE Yeh, I have an appointment with Mr. Sheldrake JONES Name? JOE Gillis, Joseph Gillis (JONES consults his clipboard.) JONES All right, sir, you know your way? JOE Yeah (JOE is suddenly waylaid by two men in hats and bad suits: FINANCEMEN.) 1ST FIN. We want the key to your car 2ND FIN. You're way behind the payments 1ST FIN. Don't give us any fancy footwork.... 2ND FIN. Give us the keys. JOE I only wish I could help. I loaned it to my accountant he has an important client down in Palm Springs felt like shooting the breeze 1ST FIN. Are you telling us you walked here? JOE I believe in self-denial I'm in training for the priesthood 2ND FIN. Okay wise guy, three hundred bucks 1ST FIN Or we're taking the car 2ND FIN We have a court order JOE I love it when you talk dirty (The Paramount gates open. JOE slips away from the FINANCEMEN, back into the social whirl.)
