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?
