(Présentateur)
Mr. Billy Flynn and the press conference rag.
Notice how his mouth never moves.
Almost.

(Billy et les journalistes)
Where’d you come from ?
Mississippi.
And your parents ?
Very wealthy.
Where are they now ?
Six feet under.
But she was granted one more start.
The Convent of The Sacred Heart.
When’d you get here ?
Nineteen-twenty.
How old were you ?
Don’t remember.
Then what happened ?
I met Amos.
And he stole my heart away.
Convinced me to elope one day.

(Mary Sunshine)
Oh, you poor dear I can’t believe what you have been through.
A convent girl! A runaway marriage.
Now tell us Roxie.
Who’s Fred Casely ?

(Billy et les journalistes)
My ex-boyfriend.
Why’d you shoot him ?
I was leaving.
Was he angry ?
Like a madman.
Still I said, « Fred, move along ».
She knew that she was doing wrong.
Then describe it.
He came toward me.
With the pistol ?
From my bureau.
Did you fight him ?
Like a tiger.
He had strength and she had none.
And yet we both reached for the gun.

Oh, yes, oh, yes, oh, yes, we both.
Oh, yes, we both, oh, yes, we both reached for.
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun, oh, yes.
We both reached for the gun, for the gun.
Oh, yes, oh, yes, oh, yes, they both.
Oh, yes, they both, oh, yes, they both reached for.
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun, oh, yes.
They both reached for the gun, for the gun.

Understandable, understandable.
Yes, it’s perfectly understandable.
Comprehensible, comprehensible.
Not a bit reprehensible, it’s so defensible.

(Billy, Roxie et les journalistes)
How’re you feeling ?
Very frightened.
Are you sorry ?
Are you kidding ?
What’s your statement ?
All I’d say is.
Though my choo-choo jumped the track.
I’d give my life to bring him back.
And ?
Stay away from…
What ?
Jazz and liquor…
And ?
And the men who…
What ?
Play for fun…
And what ?
That’s the thought that…
Yeah.
Came upon me…
When ?
When we both reached for the gun.

(Billy et Mary Sunshine)
Understandable, understandable.
Yes, it’s perfectly understandable.
Comprehensible, comprehensible.
Not a bit reprehensible, it’s so defensible.

(Billy et les journalistes)
Oh, yes, oh, yes, oh, yes, they both.
Oh, yes, they both, oh, yes, they both reached for.
Let me hear it.
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun, oh, yes.
They both reached for the gun, for the gun.
A little louder.
Oh, yes, oh, yes, oh, yes, they both.
Oh, yes, they both, oh, yes, they both reached for.
Oh, yeah.
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun, oh, yes.
They both reached for the gun, for the gun.
Now you got it.

Oh, yes, oh, yes, oh, yes, they both.
Oh, yes, they both, oh, yes, they both reached for.
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun, oh, yes.
They both reached for the gun, for the gun.
Oh, yes, oh, yes, oh, yes, they both.
Oh, yes, they both, oh, yes, they both reached for.
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun.
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun.
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun.
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun.

Both reached for the gun.
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun.
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun.
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun.
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun.
Both reached for the gun.
