Of course, the real secret
of Mrs. Simpson's appeal
to the Duke of Windsor...
was that she could make a toothpick
feel like a cigar.
I've been so immersed
in preparing to play Marion,
I'd almost forgotten
how to laugh.
- Oh, really?
- Yes.
Well, now you must try
the banana shortcake.
Oh, no, nothing for me, thank you.
I'm watching my figure.
Yes, you're not the only one.
We're fine, thank you.
George, bring her
the banana shortcake.
In fact, make that
two large portions.
Thank you.
Now, tell me, my dear,
how else have you prepared
for the part of Marion Crane?
Well, I've written
an entire history for her...
which seems a little silly, I know,
but it... it really does help.
- It doesn't sound silly at all.
- No?
Why don't you tell us
one of her deepest secrets?
Well, she leads a double life.
At the Lowery office,
she wears Tweed perfume.
But when she's with Sam...
she recklessly breaks out
her most expensive bottle.
My Sin, by Lanvin.
- My Sin?
- Yes.
Good Lord.
Uh... I do have
a concern or two.
Well,
I'm an actress, of course,
but I'm first
a wife and a mother.
And I'm just
curious to know...
how are you going to shoot
this shower scene?
Yes, you and the
Shurlock Office.
It's only that, well, from here up,
I'm not exactly boyish, so...
Allow me to set your mind at rest,
my dear.
I will be shooting short bits of film
from various angles.
Cut together, the montage will only
suggest nudity, suggest violence.
Nothing will
actually be shown.
But of course,
having you in the shower...
will make it all that more, well...
titillating.
Will you excuse me?
