236 Y^ Mr. DeMille DeMille (looks over page 100): Nuts! I don't get that here— He hasn't changed a bit. There's nothing here that changes him. Let me see why he changes. He doesn't just look at the moon and start to drool. What is his emotion? Writer B: He starts out by being very suspicious of her Then she doesn't give him away. DeMille: Is he falling in love with her? Is he suspicious of her? It's a rambling scene because there is no point of construction.

I gathered she meant she was going to get this guy to where he was in a state of imbecility over her and then do what women have been doing for ten thousand years. He betrays his people, his trust, everything in the world because of this woman The main way that women hurt men is to drain them dry. The way you have it, there's no possibility of his falling in love with this girl. He sees a good-looking dame and
