Norman Maine:
Do you ever go fishing?

[Esther looks confused]

Norman Maine:
Well, do you like prizefi--have you ever watched a great fighter?

Esther Blodgett:
I-I uh--

Norman Maine:
I'm trying to tell you how you sing.

Esther Blodgett:
Do you mean like a prizefighter or a fish?

Norman Maine:
Look...em--

[leads her into a kitchen]

Norman Maine:
There are certain pleasures that you get--

[realizes that the sound of clanging dishes is intolerable and they depart for the outside]

Norman Maine:
There are certain pleasures you get, little-little jabs of pleasure when a swordfish take a hook, or-or when you see a great fighter get in right for the kill, see?

[Esther still looks confused]

Norman Maine:
You don't understand a word I'm saying, do you?

Esther Blodgett:
No, not yet. Why don't you try bullfights?
