 The autobiographical story begins as a brunette Gaga is taken through a clinic on a stretcher , while an inner monologue about her past memories is heard . The nurses wear Calvin Klein Collection uniforms and Giuseppe Zanotti shoes . A nurse awakens Gaga and checks her heart rate and blood pressure . The nurse then tells Gaga how beautiful she is and how she looked just like her mother when she delivered the former . Gaga then claims that her mother was a saint , before taking a cigarette out of her bag . The nurse , startled by this , quickly then takes the cigarette out of her mouth and puts it on a table . Gaga cries and tells the nurse that she will become a star . She asks the nurse to play music and the camera zooms out to show viewers several female patients treated and wandering off . A new scene shows Gaga practicing ballet dancing to piano music , and a following one shows her taken back from the hospital to her New York apartment by her best friend Bo . Ludwig van Beethoven 's " Piano Sonata No. 8 " plays . Gaga is undressed from an outfit designed by Stéphane Rolland and taken to bed , but is interrupted by a phone call that notifies her of being dropped from her record label . Frustrated , she makes a mess in her apartment , pours breakfast cereal on herself , and jumps in the bath with her heels on . The piano music ends and Gaga is seen bleaching her hair , bathing in a tub , and humming " Marry the Night " . The monologue continues as Gaga says , " But I still had my bedazzler and I had a lot of patches , shiny ones from M & J Trimmings , so I wreaked havoc on some old denim . And I did what any girl would do — I did it all over again . " According to Jocelyn Vena of MTV News , Gaga resembles pop artist Madonna in the film Desperately Seeking Susan . Gaga 's dancers look down at her from a mezzanine as the clock chimes .
