Quote #7
CHORUS: I've got a feelin' you're foolin' / I've got a notion it's make-believe… I've got a feeling you're foolin' / I've got a feelin' it's all a frame
You mean like a… film frame? See what we did there? Comparing being framed to a frame of film? Since this is a movie about making movies? And people deceiving other people? Okay, we'll stop patting ourselves on the back now.
Quote #8
KATHY: Now, look, Miss Lamont, Don and I...
LINA: Don? Don't you dare call him Don! I was calling him Don before you were born! I mean, I mean—you were kissing him!
DON: I was kissing her! I happen to be in love with her.
LINA: That's ridiculous. Everybody knows you're in love with me.
Lina's insistence that what the fan magazines say is true shows the media's powerful, predatory influence on perception.
Quote #9
LINA: "People"? I ain't "people." I am a—(reading from the bogus newspaper interview with R.F.)—"a shimmering, glowing star in the cinema firmament." It says so—right there.
Lina may not know a lot about manners, generosity, or English syntax, but she sure knows how to work the media and deceive the public.
