{821}{872}WOMAN:|You've got to climb Mount Everest...
{877}{920}...to reach the Valley of the Dolls.
{924}{995}It's a brutal climb to reach that peak.
{999}{1129}You stand there, waiting for the rush|of exhilaration, but it doesn 't come.
{1133}{1188}You're alone.
{1192}{1305}And the feeling of loneliness|is overpowering.
{1726}{1773}ANNE:|I never meant to start that climb.
{1777}{1869}I took the first step when I left|New England and headed for New York.
{1873}{1932}It wasn 't easy to leave|that wonderful house.
{1936}{2009}My grandparents lived there|and theirs before them.
{2013}{2066}It was standing during the Revolution.
{2070}{2207}George Washington didn 't sleep there,|but he did dip water from our well.
{2240}{2307}I can still see them|standing there waving.
{2311}{2377}Aunt Amy, Mama and Willie.
{2381}{2513}Poor Willie. He didn 't know|I was leaving his life forever.
{2558}{2642}I'll never forget the night I told them|I was going to New York.
{2646}{2719}They said it was a dreadful place|for a vacation.
{2723}{2798}I announced I was going to work there.
{2847}{2913}Willie took it well.|He said he'd give me a month...
{2917}{3024}...and I'd run for home|ready to settle down in Lawrenceville.
{3028}{3085}I remember the day Willie pinned me.
{3090}{3169}He said it meant|we were engaged to be engaged.
{3178}{3249}I wanted a marriage like Mom and Dad's,|but not yet.
{3253}{3370}First I wanted new experiences,|new faces, new surroundings.
{3374}{3462}Lawrenceville would be there forever.
{6238}{6314}The cab driver kept complaining|about the sleet and slush.
{6318}{6394}I told him he should see|one of our New England blizzards.
{6398}{6463}He took me to the|Martha Washington Hotel for women.
{6467}{6503}Aunt Amy had stayed there.
{6507}{6622}She said it was as safe as you|could be in a city like New York.
{6714}{6799}The desk clerk warned me|they didn 't allow men in the rooms.
{6803}{6877}I confessed I didn 't know any.
{7110}{7206}Before my feet were dry,|the agency sent me on an interview.
{7210}{7303}I had butterflies, but I acted like|I'd done it all my life.
{7307}{7364}At least I thought I did.
{7664}{7752}WOMAN: I knew it. She had that look.|- I'm to see Miss Steinberg.
{7756}{7803}WOMAN:|I knew she was pregnant.
{7807}{7951}Certainly I should have kept an eye|on her, doctor, but she sneaks out.
{7955}{8079}I haven't any idea who the father is.|It could have been one of several.
{8083}{8198}All right. I'll start her|on vitamins tomorrow.
{8207}{8319}Queeny's pregnant again.|My Siamese.
{8323}{8419}I hope it isn't that beat-up black tom|with the one eye.
{8423}{8507}A black Siamese should be very pretty.|I'm Anne Welles.
{8511}{8596}Oh, yes. The agency phoned about you.
{8600}{8717}B.A. At Radcliffe? Mr. Bellamy will like|that. He'll think it gives the office tone.
{8721}{8807}- The agency said he's a lawyer.|- A theatrical lawyer.
{8811}{8896}He handles actors, writers|and directors. Important ones.
{8900}{8993}He advises them and draws up|their contracts. No loopholes.
{8997}{9078}- Sounds fascinating.|- It isn't.
{9082}{9189}- Will I work for Bellamy or Bellows?|- There is no Mr. Bellows anymore.
{9193}{9281}Only his nephew, Lyon Burke.|You can tell when he's in the office...
{9285}{9362}...by the girls around that water cooler.
{9373}{9461}- How's your shorthand?|- Weak, but I type 60 words a minute.
{9469}{9543}Okay, I'll take you in to see the boss.
{9564}{9660}Mr. Bellamy, this is Miss Welles.|She's here about the job.
{9664}{9745}- She's too good-Iooking.|- Mr. Bellamy, that's not fair.
{9749}{9825}I'll just get her broken in|and she'll get married.
{9829}{9874}- I'm already engaged.|- There, see?
{9878}{9953}Lots of secretaries are married,|aren't they?
{9957}{10043}Not in this office. Some days|you'll work until midnight...

{10256}{10327}- I have a good memory and love sherry.|- Can you handle it?
{10331}{10391}- I'm sure I can.|- Could she start right away?
{10395}{10544}- Stop running my life. I'm not convinced.|- Couldn't you please give me a trial?
{10548}{10663}All right. I'll try you out for one week,|starting as of now.
