[REPORTERS]<br>
Where'd you come from?<br>
<br>
[BILLY (as Roxie)]<br>
Mississippi<br>
<br>
[REPORTERS]<br>
And your parents?<br>
<br>
[BILLY (as Roxie)]<br>
Very wealthy.<br>
<br>
[REPORTERS]<br>
Where are they now?<br>
<br>
[BILLY (as Roxie)]<br>
Six feet under.<br>
<br>
[BILLY]<br>
But she was granted one more start<br>
<br>
[BILLY (as Roxie)]<br>
The convent of The Sacred Heart!<br>
<br>
[REPORTERS]<br>
When'd you get here?<br>
<br>
[BILLY (as Roxie)]<br>
1920<br>
<br>
[REPORTERS]<br>
How old were you?<br>
<br>
[BILLY (as Roxie)]<br>
Don't remember<br>
<br>
[REPORTERS]<br>
Then what happened?<br>
<br>
[BILLY (as Roxie)]<br>
I met Amos<br>
And he stole my heart away<br>
Convinced me to elope one day<br>
<br>
[MARY SUNSHINE (spoken)]<br>
Oh you poor dear I cant beleive what you have been through A convent girl! A run-away marriage!<br>
Now tell us roxie...<br>
<br>
[MARY SUNSHINE]<br>
Who's Fred Casely?<br>
<br>
[BILLY (as Roxie)]<br>
My ex-boyfriend.<br>
<br>
[REPORTERS]<br>
Why'd you shoot him?<br>
<br>
[BILLY (as Roxie)]<br>
I was leavin'.<br>
<br>
[REPORTERS]<br>
Was he angry?<br>
<br>
[BILLY (as Roxie)]<br>
Like a madman<br>
Still I said, "Fred, move along."<br>
<br>
[BILLY]<br>
She knew that she was doing wrong.<br>
<br>
[REPORTERS]<br>
Then describe it.<br>
<br>
[BILLY (as Roxie)]<br>
He came toward me.<br>
<br>
[REPORTERS]<br>
With the pistol?<br>
<br>
[BILLY (as Roxie)]<br>
From my bureau.<br>
<br>
[REPORTERS]<br>
Did you fight him?<br>
<br>
[BILLY (as Roxie)]<br>
Like a tiger.<br>
<br>
[BILLY]<br>
He had strength and she had none.<br>
<br>
[BILLY (as Roxie)]<br>
And yet we both reached for the gun<br>
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes we both<br>
Oh yes we both<br>
Oh yes, we both reached for<br>
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun<br>
Oh yes, we both reached for the gun<br>
For the gun.<br>
<br>
[REPORTERS]<br>
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes they both<br>
Oh yes, they both<br>
Oh yes, they both reached for <br>
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun,<br>
Oh yes, they both reached for the gun<br>
for the gun.<br>
<br>
[BILLY]<br>
Understandable, understandable<br>
Yes it's perfectly understandable<br>
Comprehensible, Comprehensible<br>
Not a bit reprehensible<br>
It's so defensible<br>
<br>
[REPORTERS]<br>
How're you feeling?<br>
<br>
[BILLY (as Roxie)]<br>
Very frightened<br>
<br>
[REPORTERS]<br>
Are you sorry?<br>
<br>
[ROXIE]<br>
Are you kidding?<br>
<br>
[REPORTERS]<br>
What's your statement?<br>
<br>
[BILLY (as Roxie)]<br>
All I'd say is <br>
Though my choo-choo jumped the track<br>
I'd give my life to bring him back<br>
<br>
[REPORTERS]<br>
And?<br>
<br>
[BILLY (as Roxie)]<br>
Stay away from...<br>
<br>
[REPORTERS]<br>

[BILLY (as Roxie)]<br>
Jazz and liquor...<br>
