A Star Is Born1954

Esther Blodgett:
You know as much about me as I do myself. But...you see how long it's taken me to get this far. Now, all I need is just a little luck.

Norman Maine:
What kind of luck?

Esther Blodgett:
Oh, the kind of luck that every girl singer with a band dreams of--one night a big talent scout from a big record company might come in and he'll let me make a record.

Norman Maine:
Yes, and then?

Esther Blodgett:
Well, the record will become number one on the Hit Parade, it'll be played on the jukeboxes all over the country...and I'll be made. [laughs] End of dream.

Norman Maine:
There's only one thing wrong with that.

Esther Blodgett:
I know--it won't happen!

Norman Maine:
No, it might happen pretty easily--but the dream isn't big enough.
