Mr. Billy Flynn in the press conference rag
Notice his mouth never moves, almost
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?
Don’t remember
Then what happened?
I met Amos and he stole my heart away
Convinced me to elope one day
Oh you poor dear ! I can’t believe what you’ve been through !A convent girl! A run-away marriage!
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 doin’ 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
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
How’re you feeling?
Very frightened
Are you sorry?
Are you kidding?
What’s you’re 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
Understandable, understandable
Yes, it’s perfectly understandable
Comprehensible, comprehensible
Not a bit reprehensible, it’s so defensible
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
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
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
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
