re educated at the sacred heart...

roxie: (laughter)

billy: ...then you fell into a 29)runaway marriage--left you miserable, alone, unhappy. and of course, you got all swept up in the mad world of the city - jazz, 30)cabarets, liquor. you were drawn, like a moth to the flame.

roxie: a moth...

billy: an’ now the mad world has ceased, and you are a butterfly, 31)crushed on the wheel....

roxie: doh! which is it? is it the moth or the butterfly?

billy: you have sinned! and you're sorry!

roxie: god, that's beautiful!

billy: cut out "god". stay where you're better 32)acquainted.

(at the press conference.)

billy: ladies and gentlemen, miss sunshine: my client has just entered a plea of not guilty. we look forward to a trial at the earliest possible date. now, are there any questions? (the press shout questions.) miss sunshine.

sunshine: as you know, my paper is dry. do you have any advice for young girls seeking to avoid a life of jazz and drink?

billy: absolutely. yes, mrs. hart feels that it was the tragic combination of liquor and jazz which led to her 33)downfall. next question please....

roxie: ladies and gentlemen. i would just like to say how flattered i am that y'all came to see me.

billy: mrs. hart is very pleased...

roxie: ya see, i was a moth, crushed on the wheel, you know, a butterfly, drawn to the... to the ... (sigh). i bet you want to know why i shot the bastard.

billy: shut up, dummy.

mc: mr. billy flynn and the press conference 34)rag! notice how his mouth never moves... almost.

(billy decides for roxie what to answer the press.)

press 1: where'd ya come from?

billy: mississippi.

press 2: and your parents?

billy: very wealthy.

press 3: where are they now?

billy: six feet under, but she was granted one more start: the 35)convent of the sacred heart.

press 4: when'd ya get here?

billy: nineteen twenty.

press 5: how old were you?

billy: don't remember.

press 6: then what happened?

billy: i met amos and he stole my heart away; convinced me to elope one day...

sunshine: understandable. understandable.

s & billy: yes, it's perfectly understandable. comprehensible. comprehensible. not a bit reprehensible. it's so 36)defensible.

scene 4

the tabloids go crazy for the new girl on the cellblock, and roxie finally becomes a star.

newsman: move over, 37)al capone. the windy city has taken a new criminal to its heart. the name on everybody's lips is roxie hart, the sweetest little lady ever accused of murder in chicago. women wanna look like her. fellas wanna go out with her. some little girls even wanna take her home. don't get any ideas, little lady. on the other side of town, the assistant d.a. promises the keen little sharpshooter will swing before the year is out.

d.a.: she'll swing before the year is out.

newsman: who knows? if he lives up to his word, assistant d.a. harrison might become governor harrison some day. back at the scene of the crime, everybody wants a little piece of roxie hart. this jar of cold cream set her husband back twenty dollars! maybe this pretty little lady will get some of that famous "roxie style". it seems everybody, these days, is rooting for, roxie hart.

scene 5

being set innocent, roxie is soon forgotten by the press. to bring back the press’ attention, she allies with her old competitor kelly velma.

kelly: you know, you're really pretty good.

roxie: yeah, that and a dime. what're you doin' here?

kelly: i heard you've been er, makin’ the rounds.

roxie: yeah, well if it was up to you, i'd be swinging by now.

kelly: come on. i always knew billy'd get you off. you should learn how ta put things behind ya.

roxie: oh, thank you. i'll put that at the top of my list right after finding a job and an apartment with a john.

kelly: just shut up and listen to me!

roxie: you really are somethin’ comin’ in here like... like some goddamn queen bee all full of advice for a poor slob like me. well let me tell you somethin’ miss velma kelly. i got a new life now, and one of the best things about it is, it don't include you!

kelly: fine. i just thought we could help each other out.

roxie: well, you thought wrong, didn't ya?

kelly: hello, look. listen to me, i talked to this guy downtown. he said one jazz killer's nothing these days... but two... we can make a couple a hundred a week. think about it, roxie. our faces back in the papers, our names on the 38)marquee, "velma kelly and roxie hart"

roxie: shouldn't it be 39)alphabetical?

kelly: that could work...couple a hundred. maybe we could ask for a thou? we're worth it.

roxie: (hesitates) forget it. it'd never work.

kelly: why not?!

roxie: 'cause i hate you!

kelly: (challenges roxie) there's only one business in the world where that's no problem at all.

(in the last scene, the two finally get what they both want: freedom and fame.)
