What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? Page #4

watched that lovely old movie of yours:

"Last Honeymoon.

"I remember saying to my husband

at the time...

"that seeing you again

was just like meeting an old friend."

That's charming. That's really charming.

The point is you never saw them before,

did you?

- No.

- I thought not.

I'm sorry, I thought you ought to know.

But I don't understand.

Where'd they come from?

Where'd you find them?

In the trash barrel, that's where.

They're from that television station that's

been running your old movies, aren't they?

- You mean Jane...

- Who else?

She must have thought

they were advertisements.

Then why would she open

the one marked "personal"?

And what about this?

You might as well see this, too.

Writing those dirty words.

I can't even remember the last time

I saw words like that written down.

But why would she do a thing like this?

You know what makes her

do things like this.

She's sick,

and she's not getting any better.

In fact, the last month

she's been getting a lot worse.

If you don't believe me...

then why are you selling this house

and planning to move out?

You said this last month...

she's been a lot worse.

- Do you think she knows?

- About selling the house?

How could she?

You don't have anything in writing.

We're sisters, Elvira.

We know each other very well.

I think she's jealous...

because of those old movies of yours

they're showing on television this week.

Anyway, in six weeks

you'll have to hand over the house...

and then she'll have to know.

How do I tell her? How?

If you'd just speak to that Dr. Shelby,

maybe he could tell her.

No, it ought to be me.

I can't let a stranger tell her.

But he's a doctor, Miss Blanche.

And she's a sick woman.

Elvira, you didn't know her

when she was a child.

- When she was young.

- I've seen those pictures she keeps.

It wasn't that she was just pretty.

She was different. She was so alive.

I was cleaning the cage.

The bird got out.

But where is it now?

It flew out the window.

Did you let that bird out

on purpose, Miss Jane?

I just told you, I was cleaning the cage

and the bird flew out the window.

I'm sorry.

She did that on purpose.

Believe me, she did it on purpose.

Never mind.

Maybe he'll come back.

You won't change your mind, will you?

About coming to live with me?

You know I don't go back on my word,

Miss Blanche.

But you've got to make up your mind

about finding somewhere for Miss Jane...

where they can look after her properly.

I have.

I have made up my mind.

I'm going to call Dr. Shelby today.

I know, Miss Blanche.

It's just that I have to be sure

I'm doing the right thing for her.

Hello, is this Johnson's?
