Singin' in the Rain
The Illusion of Fame and Loneliness
Don Well, we movie stars get the glory. I guess we have to take the little heartaches that go with it. People think we lead lives of glamour and romance, but we're really lonely - terribly lonely.
Kathy I don't go to the movies much - if you've seen one, you've seen them all...Oh, no offense. Movies are entertaining enough for the masses, but the personalities on the screen just don't impress me. I mean, they don't talk. They don't act. They just make a lot of dumb show...
Kathy Acting means great parts, wonderful lines, speaking of glorious words, Shakespeare, Ibsen.
Don Words, tell me, what's your lofty mission in life that lets you sneer at my humble profession?
Kathy I'm an actress.
Don What?...
Kathy On the stage.
Don Oh, on the stage. Well, I'd like to see you act. What are you in right now? I could brush up on my English, or uh, bring along an interpreter, that is, if they'd let in a movie actor.
Kathy Well, I'm not in a play right now, but I will be. I'm going to New York.
Don Oh, you're going to New York and then some day we'll all hear of you, won't we? Kathy Selden as Juliet, as Lady Macbeth, as King Lear. You'll have to wear a beard for that one, of course.
Kathy Oh, you can laugh if you want to, but at least the stage is a dignified profession.
Don Dignified profession!
[scoffing]
Kathy And what do you got to be so conceited about? You're nothing but a shadow on film, a shadow. You're not flesh and blood.
Don Oh, no?
[He moves closer to kiss her amorously]
Kathy Stop!
[She pushes him away]
Don What can I do to you? I'm only a shadow.
Kathy You keep away from me. Just because you're a big movie star, wild parties, swimming pools, you expect every girl to fall in a dead faint at your feet. Well, don't you touch me.
Don Fear not, sweet lady! I will not molest you. I am but a humble jester. And you. You are TOO far above me. Farewell, Ethel Barrymore! I must tear myself from your side.
[Kathy then laughs hysterically as Don's suit rips while he gets out of her car]

A Gentle Hint and Irresistible Charm

Clarifying Misunderstandings About Relationships
Don Lockwood Now Lina, you've been reading those fan magazines again. Now look Lina, you shouldn't believe all that banana oil that Dora Bailey and the columnists dish out. Now try to get this straight. There is nothing between us. There has never been anything between us. Just air.
[Lina believes the tabloid reports of a romance between her and Don]

Transitioning to Talking Pictures and New Opportunities
R.F. Simpson The public is screaming for more...talking pictures...Every studio is jumping on the bandwagon, Dexter. All the theatres are putting in sound equipment. We don't want to be left out of it.
Cosmo Talking pictures, that means I'm out of a job. At last I can start suffering and write that symphony.
R.F. Simpson You're not out of a job, we're putting you in as head of the new music department.
Cosmo Well, thanks, R.F.! At last I can stop suffering and write that symphony.
R.F. Simpson Don, it'll be a sensation! "Lamont and Lockwood: they talk!
Lina Lamont Well of course we talk. Don't everybody?

Filming a Scene in Singin' in the Rain
Roscoe Dexter All right, here we go! QUIET!! ROLL EM!!
Lina Lamont Oh, Pierre! You shouldn't have come!
Recorder She's gotta talk into the mike. I can't pick it up.
Roscoe Dexter CUT!!
Don Lockwood What's the matter, Dexter?
Roscoe Dexter It's Lina! Look, Lina, don't you remember? I told you. There's a microphone right there in the bush.
Lina Lamont Yeah.
Roscoe Dexter You have to talk into it.
Lina Lamont I was talking. Wasn't I, Mrs. Dinsmore?
Dinsmore Yes, my dear. But please remember, round tones. "Pierre, you shouldn't have come!
Lina Lamont Pierre, you shouldn't have come!
Dinsmore Yes, yes, my dear. That's much better.
Roscoe Dexter Hold it a second! Now, Lina, look. Here's the mike, right here in the bush.
Lina Lamont Yeah!
Roscoe Dexter Now you talk towards it. The sound goes through the cable to the box. A man records it on a big record in wax. But, you have to talk into the mike first. In the bush! Now, try it again.
Lina Lamont Gee, this is dumb.
Don Lockwood She'll get it, Dexter. Lina, don't worry. We're all a little nervous on the first day. Everything's gonna be okay. Oh, Roscoe! You know the scene where I say, "Imperious princess of the night?" I don't like those lines there. Is it okay if I say what I always do? "I love you, I love you, I love you!
Roscoe Dexter Sure. Anyway, it's comfortable. BUT, INTO THE BUSH!! Okay, again! QUIET!! ROLL EM!!
Lina Lamont Oh, Pierre, you shouldn't have come! You're flirting with danger. You'll surely find you out.
Roscoe Dexter CUT!! Lina, you're missing every other word. You've got to talk into the mike!
Lina Lamont Well, I can't make love to a bush!
Roscoe Dexter Alright, alright! We'll have to think of something else.

Don Why, you rattlesnake you. You got that poor kid fired.

Cosmo The price of fame. You've got the glory, you gotta take the little heartaches that go with it. Now look at me: I've got no fame, I've got no glory, I've got no big mansions, I've got no money! But I've got - what have I got?

Self-Reflection and Humor in Show Business
Don Everything you ever said about me is true, Kathy. I'm no actor. I never was. Just a lotta dumb show. I know that now.
Cosmo Well, at least you're taking it lying down.
Don No. No kidding, Cosmo. Did you ever see anything as idiotic as me on that screen tonight?
Cosmo Yeah, how about Lina?
