We Both Reached For The Gun
[Reporters]
Where'd you come from?
[Billy (as Roxie)]
Mississippi
[Reporters]
And your parents?
[Billy (as Roxie)]
Very wealthy
[Reporters]
Where are they now?
[Billy (as Roxie)]
Six feet under
[Billy]
But she was granted one more start
[Billy (as Roxie)]
The convent of the sacred heart!
[Reporters]
When'd you get here?
[Billy (as Roxie)]
1920
[Reporters]
How old were you?
[Billy (as Roxie)]
Don't remember
[Reporters]
Then what happened?
[Billy (as Roxie)]
I met amos
And he stole my heart away
Convinced me to elope one day
[Mary Sunshine (spoken)]
Oh, you poor dear, I can't believe what you've been through!
A convent girl! A run-away marriage!
Now, tell us Roxie
[Mary Sunshine]
Who's Fred Casely?
[Billy (as Roxie)]
My ex-boyfriend
[Reporters]
Why'd you shoot him?
[Billy (as Roxie)]
I was leavin'
[Reporters]
Was he angry?
[Billy (as Roxie)]
Like a madman
Still I said: Fred, move along
[Billy]
She knew that she was doing wrong
[Reporters]
Then describe it
[Billy (as Roxie)]
He came toward me
[Reporters]
With the pistol?
[Billy (as Roxie)]
From my bureau
[Reporters]
Did you fight him?
[Billy (as Roxie)]
Like a tiger
[Billy]
He had strength, and she had none
[Billy (as Roxie)]
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
[Reporters]
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
[Billy]
Understandable, understandable
Yes, it's perfectly understandable
Comprehensible, comprehensible
Not a bit reprehensible
It's so defensible
[Reporters]
How you feeling?
[Billy (as Roxie)]
Very frightened
[Reporters]
Are you sorry?
[Roxie]
Are you kidding?
[Reporters]
What's your statement?
[Billy (as Roxie)]
All I'd say is
Though my choo-choo jumped the track
I'd give my life to bring him back
[Reporters]
And?
[Billy (as Roxie)]
Stay away from
[Reporters]
What?
[Billy (as Roxie)]
Jazz and liquor
[Reporters]
And?
[Billy (as Roxie)]
And the men who
[Reporters]
What?
[Billy (as Roxie)]
Play for fun
[Reporters]
And what?
[Billy (as Roxie)]
That's the thought that
[Reporters]
Yeah?
[Billy (as Roxie)]
Came upon me
[Reporters]
When?
[Billy (as Roxie)]
When we both reached for the gun!
[Mary Sunshine]
Understandable, understandable
[Billy and mary sunshine]
Yes, it's perfectly understandable
Comprehensible, comprehensible
Not a bit reprehensible
It's so defensible!
[Reporters]
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, they both
Oh yes, they both
Oh yes, they both reached for
[Billy (spoken)]
Let me hear it
[Reporters]
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun
Oh yes, they both reached for the gun
For the gun
[Billy (spoken)]
A little louder!
[Reporters]
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, they both
Oh yes, they both
Oh yes, they both reached for
[Billy (spoken)]
Oh, yeah
[Reporters]
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun
Oh yes, they both reached for the gun
For the gun
[Billy (spoken)]
Now you got it!
[Billy and reporters]
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
[Billy]
Both reached for the
Gun!
[Reporters]
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!

¿De donde vienes?
[BILLY (como Roxie)]
Misisipí
[REPORTEROS]
¿Y tus padres?
[BILLY (como Roxie)]
Bastante ricos
[REPORTEROS]
¿Donde están ahora?
[BILLY (como Roxie)]
Seis pies bajo tierra
[BILLY]
Pero se le concedió un nuevo comienzo
[BILLY (como Roxie)]
¡El Convento del Sagrado Corazón!
[REPORTEROS]
¿Cuando llegaste aquí?
[BILLY (como Roxie)]
1920
[REPORTEROS]
¿Que edad tenias?
[BILLY (como Roxie)]
No lo recuerdo
[REPORTEROS]
¿Y luego qué pasó?
[BILLY (como Roxie)]
Conocí a Amós
Y me robó el corazón
Me convenció de fugarme un día
[MARY SUNSHINE (hablada)]
¡Oh, pobrecita! ¡No puedo creer por lo que has pasado!
¡Una chica de convento! ¡Que huyo para casarse!
Ahora, cuéntanos Roxie
[MARÍA Sol]
¿Quién es Fred Casely?
[BILLY (como Roxie)]
Mi ex novio
[REPORTEROS]
¿Por qué le disparaste?
[BILLY (como Roxie)]
Lo iba a dejar
[REPORTEROS]
¿Estaba enojado?
[BILLY (como Roxie)]
Como un loco
Aún así dije: Fred, sigue adelante
[BILLY]
Ella sabía que estaba haciendo algo mal
[REPORTEROS]
Entonces descríbelo
[BILLY (como Roxie)]
Él vino hacia mí
[REPORTEROS]
¿Con la pistola?
[BILLY (como Roxie)]
Desde mi buro
[REPORTEROS]
¿Peleaste con él?
[BILLY (como Roxie)]
Como un tigre
[BILLY]
Él tenía fuerza y ella no
[BILLY (como Roxie)]
Y aun así, ambos alcanzamos el arma
Oh sí, oh sí, oh sí, los dos
Oh sí, los dos
Oh, sí, ambos alcanzaron
El arma, el arma, el arma, el arma
Oh, sí, ambos alcanzamos el arma
El arma
[REPORTEROS]
Oh sí, oh sí, oh sí, ambos
Oh sí, ambos
Oh, sí, ambos alcanzaron
El arma, el arma, el arma, el arma
Oh, sí, ambos alcanzaron el arma
El arma
[BILLY]
Entendible, entendible
Sí, es perfectamente entendible
Comprensible, comprensible
No es nada reprensible
Es muy defendible
[REPORTEROS]
¿Cómo te sientes?
[BILLY (como Roxie)]
Muy asustada
[REPORTEROS]
¿Lo lamentas?
[Roxy]
¿Estás bromeando?
[REPORTEROS]
¿Cual es tu afirmación?
[BILLY (como Roxie)]
Lo único que diría es
Aunque mi tren se salió de la vía
Daría mi vida para traerlo de vuelta
[REPORTEROS]
¿Y?
[BILLY (como Roxie)]
No acercarse a
[REPORTEROS]
¿Qué?
[BILLY (como Roxie)]
Jazz y licor
[REPORTEROS]
¿Y?
[BILLY (como Roxie)]
Y los hombres que
[REPORTEROS]
¿Qué?
[BILLY (como Roxie)]
Juegan por diversión
[REPORTEROS]
¿Y qué?
[BILLY (como Roxie)]
Ese es el pensamiento que
[REPORTEROS]
¿Sí?
[BILLY (como Roxie)]
Vino a mi
[REPORTEROS]
¿Cuando?
[BILLY (como Roxie)]
¡Cuando ambos alcanzamos el arma!
[MARÍA Sol]
Entendible, entendible
[BILLY Y MARY SUNSHINE]
Sí, es perfectamente entendible
Comprensible, comprensible
No es nada reprensible
¡Es tan defendible!
[REPORTEROS]
Oh sí, oh sí, oh sí, ambos
Oh sí, ambos
Oh, sí, ambos alcanzaron
[BILLY (hablado)]
Déjame escucharlo

El arma
[BILLY (hablado)]
¡Un poco más fuerte!
