Summary
Early on, not long after they left the mansion, she asked him if he had loved the woman. He told her no. She would not have married him if she did not believe it. There was always a kind of honesty in him, some violent and childlike honesty, but later she became very sad that she had believed him, and in a strange way nearly wished he would have said: but she was kind to me. And: at least understand that she was kind to me. She thinks he takes those parts of himself and puts them away somewhere, never to see them again. She thinks he is disquieted by his weakness.
Norma was a friend of his.

Summary
Sometimes it all gets mixed up and he doesn’t know if he's making Salomé for her or if she’s doing it for him. As if maybe she's throwing him a bone from under the table, like when she buys him a full-sized bottle of Tom Ford he didn't even ask for and now he has to figure out how to make up something like that to her, she who is post-money, post-anything, when the only thing she wants is what she cannot have. Sometimes he grows very afraid she will tell him to leave. Sometimes he thinks maybe there is this terrible monster lurking between them, contorted and grotesque, only kept at bay because neither of them will say its name.
A snapshot from May 2023 in the Hamptons.

Summary
Her final movie had been made a few years after the Spanish flu, before he had even been born. What had she done since then? The memories slipped away from her, pale and blurry like cirrostratus. All your life I spent waiting for you, she thought, on her knees in that warming garden soil. I sat in this place and waited for you, and neither you nor I knew it. She wanted him to know misery; she wanted him to know even a sliver of what she had felt for twenty-five years. And then she thought about him dying, and felt her blood course hot beneath the full snow moon.
How else is she supposed to keep him here?

Summary
She had suggested a trip out over and over again, a few days out in Catalina or Joshua Tree or anywhere she could get them a bed. He gets restless living with her, the way young men do. She sees these things. She does. Joe had been quiet to her inquiries, given her polite, laconic answers, kept writing and writing in corners of her house, in the end had just looked at her and said, "I'll go if Max doesn't."
Norma opens up her house in Malibu.
