What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? Page #2

- I'll do my best.

- Thanks.

Remind me to send you one of those

Baby Jane dolls for Christmas.

I've got mine for this year.

I don't get it, Marty.

What do they make monsters like this for?

For Blanche Hudson.

That's our problem.

You go to bed.

- Hi, Mom.

- Hi, dear.

Hello, beautiful.

How about a little souvenir?

- Let go of that, will you?

- Come on, don't be like that.

Thanks.

Isn't she great?

Sorry to break in on this fine old

Blanche Hudson movie, folks.

But you'll be glad I did

when you see what I have right here...

for that favorite pooch of yours.

And lliad means quality.

So when your dog says, "woof woof"...

- feed him lliad, the classic dog food.

- Shut up!

Lliad will bring the sheen...

Oh, my goodness, I remember

the first time I saw that picture.

I thought it was just wonderful.

When was that?

Let's see now, as I recall, your father

took me to see it at the old Majestic.

It was before we were married.

She must be about 150 by now.

As a matter of fact, dear,

I think Blanche Hudson...

is just a few years older than I am.

- Really?

- Yes, dear, really.

Well, how come we never see her around?

We've been living next door to them

for six months now...

and the only one I ever see

is that fat sister slouching around.

Don't they ever have company?

I mean, it must be awful.

You know, Julie says

that sister is kind of peculiar.

- Did you ever notice that?

- No, I never have.

Well, that's what Julie told me.

She said that she was supposed

to be responsible for the accident...

that crippled her sister, Blanche.

That all happened

a very long time ago, dear.

Maybe you shouldn't pay much attention

to everything Julie Fowler says.

There's too many people here

with nothing else to do but talk.

Maybe so, but Julie's folks

have lived here a long time.

I guess she should know.

Turn up the volume, dear.

We're missing the picture.

- Will you have a little champagne?

- No, thank you.

You wanna tell poppa your troubles?

Somebody you love?

Jack, please try to understand.

I married you because...

I was knocked silly and it was a refuge.

I found out tonight that

this boy's in trouble, maybe alone.

And it's blinding me.

I can't think of anything else.

He should've held that shot longer.

I told him that when we were rehearsing,

also when we shot it.

But he wouldn't listen.

- How are you?

- Swell.

It's still a pretty good picture.

... and Gemini.

Tommy, you don't have to say anything.

I'll just sit here.

Enjoying yourself?

Jane, what are you doing? I was...

I was watching.

Then you're an idiot.

I won't have you speak to me like that.

Poor thing.

Poor baby.
