Too Much in Love to Care

[BETTY, spoken]
I had a telegram from Artie

[JOE, spoken]
Is something wrong?

[BETTY, spoken]
He wants me to come out to Tennessee. He says it would only cost 2 dollars to get married in Clinch

[JOE, spoken]
Well, what's stopping you! Now we've finished the script - Hey, why are you crying? You're getting married, isn't that what you wanted?

[BETTY, spoken]
Not any more

[JOE, spoken]
Don't you love Artie?

[BETTY, spoken]
Of course I do. I'm just not in love with him any more, that's all

[JOE, spoken]
Why not? What happened?

[BETTY, spoken]
You did

[BETTY]
When I was a kid
I played on this street
I always loved illusion
I thought make-believe
Was truer than life
But now it's all confusion

Please can you tell me what's happening?
I just don't know any more
If this is real
How should I feel?
What should I look for?

[JOE]
If you were smart
You would keep on walking
Out of my life
As fast as you can

I'm not the one
You should pin your hopes on
You're falling for
The wrong kind of man

This is crazy
You know we should call it a day
Sound advice, great advice
Let's throw it away

I can't control
All the things I'm feeling
I haven't got a prayer
If I'm a fool
Well, I'm too much in love to care

I knew where I was
I'd given up hope
Made friends with disillusion
No one in my life
But I look at you
And now it's all confusion

[BETTY]
Please can you tell me what's happening?
I just don't know any more
If this is real
How should I feel?
What should I look for?

I thought I had
Everything I needed
My life was set
My dreams were in place
My heart could see
Way into the future
All of that goes
When I see your face

I should hate you
There I was, the world in my hand
Can one kiss kiss away
Everything I planned?

I can't control
All the things I'm feeling
I'm floating in mid-air
I know it's wrong
But I'm too much in love to care

[BOTH]
I thought I had
Everything I needed
My life was set
My dreams were in place
My heart could see
Way into the future
All of that goes
When I see your face
This is crazy
You know we should call it a day

[JOE]
Sound advice

[BETTY]
Great advice

[BOTH]
Let's throw it away
I can't control
All the things I'm feeling
We're floating in mid-air
If we are fools
Well, we're too much in love to care
If we are fools
Well, we're too much in love to care

(Back at the house on Sunset.)

[JOE, spoken]
What's the matter there, Max? You waiting to wash the car?

[MAX, spoken]
Please be careful when you cross the patio. Madame may be watching

[JOE, spoken]
Suppose I tiptoe up the back stairs and get undressed in the dark, will that do it?

[MAX, spoken]
It's just that I am greatly worried about Madame

[JOE, spoken]
Well, we're not helping her any, feeding her lies, more lies. What's going to happen when she finds out they're not going to make her picture?

[MAX, spoken]
She never will. That is my job. I made her a star and I will never let her be destroyed

[JOE, spoken]
You made her a star?

[MAX, spoken]
I directed all her early pictures. In those days, there were three young directors who showed promise: D.W. Griffith, Cecil B. DeMille, and -

[JOE, spoken]
Max von Mayerling

[MAX, spoken]
That's right
