0:07:26 > 0:07:29JAZZ PLAYS ON GRAMOPHONE And I know,

0:07:42 > 0:07:45boy, I'd throw 'em a party! A great big goin' away party.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47It's gettin' late.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49I have been thinkin' about my act.

0:07:49 > 0:07:50Whenever I get a good idea,

0:07:50 > 0:07:53I write it in my diary before I forget it.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55And it occurred to me the other day

0:07:55 > 0:07:59that all the really, really knockout acts have,

0:07:59 > 0:08:02you know, somethin' a little different goin' on.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05Like a...a signature bit.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07And I thought, I thought...

0:08:07 > 0:08:09that my thing could be...

0:08:09 > 0:08:11aloof, you know?

0:08:11 > 0:08:14Give 'em just enough to get 'em good and hungry,

0:08:14 > 0:08:16but always leave 'em wanting more.

0:08:17 > 0:08:21Hey, and once I get a name for myself, well, maybe...

0:08:21 > 0:08:23maybe we could open up a club of our own.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26You could run it and I could be the headliner.

0:08:27 > 0:08:32What's the idea? Wake up, kiddo. You ain't never gonna have an act.

0:08:32 > 0:08:33Says who?

0:08:33 > 0:08:36Face it, Roxie. You're a two-bit talent with skinny legs.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38And I'm just a furniture salesman.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40Yeah, but you got connections.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42That guy down at the club. There is no guy.

0:08:42 > 0:08:46Yeah, that night... It was the first time I set foot in that joint.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48I was collectin' on a bet from the trombone player.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51So you never told anyone about me?

0:08:51 > 0:08:55Sugar, you were hot stuff. I woulda said anything

0:08:55 > 0:08:57to get a piece of that.

0:08:57 > 0:09:02And now? Now? We had some laughs. Let's just leave it at that.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04Fred!

0:09:06 > 0:09:10You can't do this to me. Would you get off?!

0:09:26 > 0:09:28You lied to me.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30You lied!

0:09:30 > 0:09:35That's life, sweetheart. You lied to me, you son of a bitch!

0:10:01 > 0:10:05It's a new city record. From killin' to confession in an hour flat.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07Where did she get the murder weapon?

0:10:07 > 0:10:10I keep a gun in the underwear drawer, just in case of trouble, you know.

0:10:10 > 0:10:13Well, that's just fine. Sign right there, Mr Hart.

0:10:13 > 0:10:19Freely and gladly. Mind you don't say we beat it out of you.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22No, I gave myself up. Surrendered of my own free will.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25Isn't he the cheerful murderer? Shootin' a burglar ain't murder.

0:10:25 > 0:10:27Last week, a jury thanked a man.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30I'm always grateful for citizens who know the law. Get in there.

0:10:41 > 0:10:45Well, a man's got a right to protect his home and his loved ones, right?

0:10:45 > 0:10:46Of course he has.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49I come home and see him climbing through the window,

0:10:49 > 0:10:51with my wife, Roxie, layin' there,

0:10:51 > 0:10:53sleepin' like an angel.

0:10:53 > 0:10:57That true, Mrs Hart? I'm telling you, it's the God's honest truth.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59My wife wouldn't hurt a worm.

0:10:59 > 0:11:04SLOW PIANO INTRO BEGINS It wasn't till I fired the first shot she even opened her eyes.

0:11:04 > 0:11:08She's some heavy sleeper. I always said she could sleep through the St Paddy's Day parade.

0:11:08 > 0:11:13What would have happened if I went out for a beer instead of coming straight home?

0:11:13 > 0:11:16Well, it makes you sick even thinkin' about it.

0:11:16 > 0:11:21BANDLEADER: For her first number, Miss Roxie Hart would like to sing a song of love and devotion

0:11:21 > 0:11:24dedicated to her dear husband, Amos.

0:11:27 > 0:11:31# Sometimes I'm right, sometimes I'm wrong

0:11:31 > 0:11:38# But he doesn't care, he'll string along

0:11:38 > 0:11:40# He loves me so

0:11:40 > 0:11:45# That funny honey of mine

0:11:49 > 0:11:53# Sometimes I'm down, sometimes I'm up

0:11:53 > 0:12:00# But he follows 'round like some droopy-eyed pup

0:12:00 > 0:12:03# He loves me so

0:12:03 > 0:12:07# That funny honey of mine... # AMOS: Even after I shot him,

0:12:07 > 0:12:10he kept comin' at me, so I had to pull the trigger again.

0:12:10 > 0:12:15# ..He ain't no sheik, that's no great physique

0:12:15 > 0:12:20# And Lord knows, he ain't got the smarts

0:12:20 > 0:12:26# But look at that soul, I tell you, that whole

0:12:26 > 0:12:33# Is a whole lot greater than the sum of his parts

0:12:34 > 0:12:44# And if you knew him like me, I know you'd agree

0:12:45 > 0:12:50# What if the world slandered my name?

0:12:50 > 0:12:56# Why, he'd be right there, taking the blame

0:12:56 > 0:12:59# He loves me so

0:12:59 > 0:13:05# And it all suits me fine

0:13:05 > 0:13:14# That funny, sunny, honey hubby of mine... #

0:13:14 > 0:13:18I mean, supposin' he had violated her, or somethin'.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20You know what I mean, violated? I know.

0:13:20 > 0:13:24That would have been terrible. It's a good thing I got home from work on time,

0:13:24 > 0:13:27I'm tellin' ya that. # ..He loves me so... #

0:13:27 > 0:13:31I say, I'm tellin' you that. # ..That funny honey of mine... #

0:13:38 > 0:13:40He gave us 10% off.

0:13:40 > 0:13:44# ..Lord knows, he ain't got the smarts... #

0:13:44 > 0:13:46You told me he was a burglar.

0:13:46 > 0:13:48He was already dead? He's covered in a sheet

0:13:48 > 0:13:52and she's talkin' about this burglar, and how I oughtta say I did it

0:13:52 > 0:13:57cos I was sure to get off. "Help me, Amos," she says. "It's my goddamn hour of need."

0:13:57 > 0:13:59# ..Now he's shot off his trap

0:13:59 > 0:14:02# I can't stand that sap

0:14:02 > 0:14:04- # Look at him go... # - I believed her.

0:14:11 > 0:14:15- I'm working 14 hours a day... - # ..If they string me up... #

0:14:15 > 0:14:18# ..He'll bring the twine... # And she's up here tramping around

0:14:18 > 0:14:21like some floozy! Thought she could fool me.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49Look, it's true, I shot him.

0:14:49 > 0:14:52But it was self-defence. He was trying to burgle me.

0:14:52 > 0:14:56From what I hear, he's been burgling you three times a week for a month.

0:14:56 > 0:15:00So what do you say, missus? That's him, all right.

0:15:00 > 0:15:01Thank you.

0:32:21 > 0:32:25That's a ticket to the death house. Holy Mother of God!

0:32:53 > 0:32:56Then I make a phone call. 100? Well, you just...

0:32:56 > 0:33:00I mean, it seems pretty steep for a phone call.

0:33:00 > 0:33:02Oh, but he's worth every cent.

0:38:42 > 0:38:45I didn't ask if she was a drunk or a dope fiend. No.

0:38:45 > 0:38:48All I said was, "Do you have 5,000?" You said yes.

0:38:48 > 0:38:50But you don't HAVE 5,000,

0:49:35 > 0:49:38I always wanted to have my name in all the papers.

0:49:38 > 0:49:43You know, before I met Amos, I used to date this well-to-do, ugly bootlegger.

0:49:57 > 0:49:58That was me.

0:49:58 > 0:50:01I clipped it and I saved it.

0:50:01 > 0:50:06You know, all my life, I wanted to have my own act.

0:50:06 > 0:50:07But, no.

0:50:07 > 0:50:11No, no, no, no. It was always no. They always turned me down.

0:51:44 > 0:51:47It didn't really work out too great for Fred, either.

0:51:48 > 0:51:51So I gave up on the whole vaudeville idea,

0:51:51 > 0:51:54cos you kinda figure, after all those years...

0:51:54 > 0:51:57opportunity's just passed you by.

1:19:06 > 1:19:08That's hardly grounds for divorce, is it?

1:19:08 > 1:19:11A little too much of a stranger. Oh!

1:19:11 > 1:19:14By that you mean you doubted the paternity of the child.

1:19:14 > 1:19:16Well, sure. Tell me something.

1:19:16 > 1:19:20You share a bed with your wife? Yes, sir. Every night.

1:19:20 > 1:19:22You expect us to believe that you slept next to THIS woman

1:19:22 > 1:19:26every night without exercising your rights as a husband?

1:19:26 > 1:19:28I could've if I wanted to. But you didn't?

1:19:28 > 1:19:30No, I did. Did what?

1:19:30 > 1:19:31Want to. But you didn't.

1:19:34 > 1:19:36Hey, tell me, Hart, you tell me.

1:19:36 > 1:19:38Did you ever question Roxie herself?

1:19:38 > 1:19:41Did you ask her if you were the father of her child?

1:19:41 > 1:19:43No, sir. No, no.

1:19:43 > 1:19:45If you became convinced that you were wrong,

1:19:45 > 1:19:47you'd be man enough to admit it, wouldn't you?

1:19:47 > 1:19:50You'd even be willing to take her back, if Roxie swore

1:19:50 > 1:19:54that you were the father, which she does. She does?

1:19:56 > 1:19:58She does! She does!

1:21:13 > 1:21:16Roxie, I have here a statement in which

1:21:16 > 1:21:19you admit to having illicit relations with Fred Casely.

1:21:19 > 1:21:21Is this true or false? I'm afraid that's true.

1:21:21 > 1:21:23You're an honest girl, Roxie.

1:21:23 > 1:21:26When did you first meet Fred Casely?

1:21:26 > 1:21:29When he sold Amos and me our furniture.

1:21:29 > 1:21:32Your personal relationship with him, when did that begin?

1:21:32 > 1:21:36When I permitted him to escort me home one night.

1:21:36 > 1:21:38I don't think I would have gone with him

1:21:38 > 1:21:40if Mr Hart and me hadn't quarreled that morning.

1:21:40 > 1:21:42< Quarreled? Yes, sir.

1:21:42 > 1:21:44I suppose it was his fault.

1:21:44 > 1:21:46Oh no, sir. It was my fault.

1:21:46 > 1:21:49I suppose I just couldn't stop pesterin' him.

1:21:49 > 1:21:51Pestering him? About what?

1:21:51 > 1:21:54I didn't like him working long hours at the garage.

1:21:54 > 1:21:56I wanted him home with me

1:21:56 > 1:21:59to darn his socks and iron his shirts.

1:21:59 > 1:22:01I wanted a real home and a child.

1:22:01 > 1:22:04So you drifted into this illicit relationship

1:22:04 > 1:22:06because you were unhappy at home.

1:22:06 > 1:22:09Yes. I was most unhappy.

1:22:10 > 1:22:12Roxie Hart!

1:22:12 > 1:22:15The State has accused you of the murder of Fred Casely.

1:22:15 > 1:22:17Are you guilty or not guilty?

1:22:17 > 1:22:19I'm not guilty! I'm not guilty!

1:22:37 > 1:22:40Well...

1:22:40 > 1:22:42when Fred came over, I told him my good news.

1:22:42 > 1:22:44What was that?

1:22:44 > 1:22:47That me and Amos were gonna have a baby.

1:22:47 > 1:22:49And that it was all over between us.

1:22:49 > 1:22:53What happened then? Well, then, er...

1:22:56 > 1:22:57Then...

1:22:57 > 1:22:59Did he threaten you, Roxie?

1:23:13 > 1:23:17Could you tell the audience... The jury! ..what happened next?

1:23:17 > 1:23:20In his passion he tore off my robe and he threw me on the bed.

1:23:20 > 1:23:23And, and, and, Mr Hart's pistol was lying there between us.

1:23:23 > 1:23:26And then? We both reached for the gun,

1:23:26 > 1:23:27but I got it first.

1:23:27 > 1:23:30And then he came toward me with this funny look in his eyes.

1:23:30 > 1:23:33He was angry and wild! Wild!

1:23:33 > 1:23:35Wild! Did you think he meant to kill you?

1:23:35 > 1:23:38Oh, yes, sir. Yes, sir. So it was his life or yours?
