| | We Both Reached For The Gun --Billy Flynn & Reporters
Couldn't find a pic from the movie, so here's one from the play
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?
-1920
How old were you?
(Billy looks at Roxie; Roxie shrugs)
-Don't remember!
Then what happened?
-I met Amos...
and he stole my heart away;
convinced me to elope one day...
Who's Fred Casely?
-My ex-boyfriend
Why'd you shoot him?
-I was leavin'
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 a 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
Understandable,
understandable, yes it's perfectly understandable.
Comprehensible, comprehensible, not a bit reprehensible...
it's so defensible...
How're you feeling?
-Very frightened
Are you sorry?
Roxie: 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!
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!
Note to my subscribers: I'm sorry that the posts come with long intervals of time in between. I have two xanga's running, and I'm trying to balance out my time for both. I'm apologizing in advance. |
