Ana de Armas credited as playing...
Norma Jeane
- Norma Jeane: Marilyn doesn't exist. When I come out of my dressing room, I'm Norma Jeane. I'm still her when the camera is rolling. Marilyn Monroe only exists on the screen.
- Norma Jeane: But where does dreaming end and madness begin? Anyway, isn't all love based on delusion?
- Norma Jeane: I'll get five thousand dollars and Jane Russell gets a hundred thousand... and I'm playing the blonde in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes? That's an insult. I'm gonna hang up now. Goodbye.
- I.E. Shinn: Marilyn, wait...
- Norma Jeane: Fuck Marilyn. She's not here.
- Joe: How did you get your start?
- Norma Jeane: What start?
- Joe: In movies.
- Norma Jeane: I guess I was discovered.
- Nosey Neighbor: So, Marilyn, what's it like being a movie star?
- Norma Jeane: Um... I'm not a star. I'm just some blonde.
- Norma Jeane: Daddy, you won't ever write about me, will you?
- The Playwright: Darling, of course not. Why would I do such a thing?
- Norma Jeane: It's what people do. Sometimes. Writers.
- The Playwright: I'm not other people. You and I are not other people.
- Norma Jeane: I'm a *slave* to this Marilyn Monroe. I signed up for a luxury cruise, but like Lorelei Lee, I'm in fucking steerage, paddling.
- Norma Jeane: [finds that the success of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes means less than nothing to her] For this, I killed my baby?
