The clip Lina's manipulation from Singin' in the Rain (1952)

"Monumental Pictures enthusiastic over Lina's singing pipes and dancing stems. "
I never said that.
"Premiere tomorrow night to reveal Lina Lamont, big musical talent. "
You can't pull a switch like this on the publicity department.
We were prepared for the Selden campaign.
Now you do this. At least keep us informed.
Wait a minute. I don't know anything about this.
What are we gonna do?
Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
You wouldn't wanna call the papers and say Lina Lamont...
...is a big fat liar.
Did you send this stuff out?
I gave an exclusive story to every paper in town.
You'll never get away with it. Call the papers.
I wouldn't do that if I were you.
Don't tell me what to do, Lina.
What do you think I am, dumb or something?
I had my lawyer go over my contract.
Contract?
And I control my publicity, not you.
The studio is responsible for every word printed about me.
If I don't like it, I can sue.
What?
I can sue.
If you tell the papers about Kathy Selden...
...it would be "detrimental and deleterious" to my career.
I could sue you for the whole studio.
That's a lot of nonsense.
Says so.
Right here.
Contract dated June 8, 1925, paragraph 34, subdivision letter A.
"The party of the first part-"
That's me.
You win, Lina.
We better take Kathy's credit card off the screen.
