That manager guy. Don't worry, Roxie.

0:04:220:04:24

It's all taken care of.

0:04:240:04:26

You told him about me? Yeah, kid, it's all arranged.

APPLAUSE

0:06:450:06:48

ROXIE: Oh, say it again, Fred.

0:06:480:06:50

Hey, where's the fire, huh? Amos ain't home till midnight.

0:06:560:07:01

Freddy?

0:07:030:07:05

Fred?

0:07:070:07:08

HE URINATES

0:07:110:07:14

Hey, um...I don't want you to feel like I'm naggin' or anything,

0:07:140:07:18

but don't you think it's about time that I met your friend at the Onyx?

0:07:180:07:22

I mean, it's been a month since you told him about me.

0:07:220:07:26

JAZZ PLAYS ON GRAMOPHONE And I know,

0:07:260:07:29

cos that was the night Velma Kelly plugged her husband and her sister.

0:07:290:07:33

TOILET FLUSHES

0:07:330:07:35

You know they say that she found 'em in the kip together?

0:07:350:07:38

Gosh, if I ever found Amos slippin' it to somebody else,

0:07:380:07:42

boy, I'd throw 'em a party! A great big goin' away party.

0:07:420:07:45

It's gettin' late.

0:07:450:07:47

I have been thinkin' about my act.

0:07:470:07:49

Whenever I get a good idea,

0:07:490:07:50

I write it in my diary before I forget it.

0:07:500:07:53

And it occurred to me the other day

0:07:530:07:55

that all the really, really knockout acts have,

0:07:550:07:59

you know, somethin' a little different goin' on.

0:07:590:08:02

Like a...a signature bit.

0:08:020:08:05

And I thought, I thought...

0:08:050:08:07

that my thing could be...

0:08:070:08:09

aloof, you know?

0:08:090:08:11

Give 'em just enough to get 'em good and hungry,

0:08:110:08:14

but always leave 'em wanting more.

0:08:140:08:16

Hey, and once I get a name for myself, well, maybe...

0:08:170:08:21

maybe we could open up a club of our own.

0:08:210:08:23

You could run it and I could be the headliner.

0:08:230:08:26

What's the idea? Wake up, kiddo. You ain't never gonna have an act.

0:08:270:08:32

Says who?

0:08:320:08:33

Face it, Roxie. You're a two-bit talent with skinny legs.

0:08:330:08:36

And I'm just a furniture salesman.

0:08:360:08:38

Yeah, but you got connections.

0:08:380:08:40

That guy down at the club. There is no guy.

0:08:400:08:42

Yeah, that night... It was the first time I set foot in that joint.

0:08:420:08:46

I was collectin' on a bet from the trombone player.

0:08:460:08:48

So you never told anyone about me?

0:08:480:08:51

Sugar, you were hot stuff. I woulda said anything

0:08:510:08:55

to get a piece of that.

0:08:550:08:57

And now? Now? We had some laughs. Let's just leave it at that.

0:08:570:09:02

Fred!

0:09:020:09:04

You can't do this to me. Would you get off?!

0:09:060:09:10

Huh?!

0:09:110:09:13

You touch me again, I'll put your lights out!

0:09:140:09:17

Wait... Your husband'll be home soon.

0:09:190:09:21

Wash yourself before you hit the sheets again.

0:09:210:09:23

You're a liar, Fred. Yeah, so what?

0:09:230:09:26

You lied to me.

0:09:260:09:28

You lied!

0:09:280:09:30

That's life, sweetheart. You lied to me, you son of a bitch!

0:09:300:09:35

You're a son of a bitch!

0:09:440:09:46

MUSIC ENDS

0:09:460:09:48

(Hotcha!)

0:09:520:09:53

(Whoopee!)

0:09:550:09:58

Why you botherin', Sal? This one's all wrapped up.

0:09:580:10:01

It's a new city record. From killin' to confession in an hour flat.

0:10:010:10:05

Where did she get the murder weapon?

0:10:050:10:07

I keep a gun in the underwear drawer, just in case of trouble, you know.

0:10:070:10:10

Well, that's just fine. Sign right there, Mr Hart.

0:10:100:10:13

Freely and gladly. Mind you don't say we beat it out of you.

0:10:130:10:19

No, I gave myself up. Surrendered of my own free will.

0:10:190:10:22

Isn't he the cheerful murderer? Shootin' a burglar ain't murder.

0:10:220:10:25

Last week, a jury thanked a man.

0:10:250:10:27

I'm always grateful for citizens who know the law. Get in there.

0:10:270:10:30

You, too.

0:10:320:10:33

Sit down.

0:10:350:10:36

OK, from the top.

0:10:380:10:41

Well, a man's got a right to protect his home and his loved ones, right?

0:10:410:10:45

Of course he has.

0:10:450:10:46

I come home and see him climbing through the window,

0:10:460:10:49

with my wife, Roxie, layin' there,

0:10:490:10:51

sleepin' like an angel.

0:10:510:10:53

That true, Mrs Hart? I'm telling you, it's the God's honest truth.

0:10:530:10:57

My wife wouldn't hurt a worm.

0:10:570:10:59

SLOW PIANO INTRO BEGINS It wasn't till I fired the first shot she even opened her eyes.

0:10:590:11:04

She's some heavy sleeper. I always said she could sleep through the St Paddy's Day parade.

0:11:040:11:08

What would have happened if I went out for a beer instead of coming straight home?

0:11:080:11:13

Well, it makes you sick even thinkin' about it.

0:11:130:11:16

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

0:11:160:11:21

dedicated to her dear husband, Amos.

0:11:210:11:24

# Sometimes I'm right, sometimes I'm wrong

0:11:270:11:31

# But he doesn't care, he'll string along

0:11:310:11:38

# He loves me so

0:11:380:11:40

# That funny honey of mine

0:11:400:11:45

# Sometimes I'm down, sometimes I'm up

0:11:490:11:53

# But he follows 'round like some droopy-eyed pup

0:11:530:12:00

# He loves me so

0:12:000:12:03

# That funny honey of mine... # AMOS: Even after I shot him,

0:12:030:12:07

he kept comin' at me, so I had to pull the trigger again.

0:12:070:12:10

# ..He ain't no sheik, that's no great physique

0:12:100:12:15

# And Lord knows, he ain't got the smarts

0:12:150:12:20

# But look at that soul, I tell you, that whole

0:12:200:12:26

# Is a whole lot greater than the sum of his parts

0:12:260:12:33

# And if you knew him like me, I know you'd agree

0:12:340:12:44

# What if the world slandered my name?

0:12:450:12:50

# Why, he'd be right there, taking the blame

0:12:500:12:56

# He loves me so

0:12:560:12:59

# And it all suits me fine

0:12:590:13:05

# That funny, sunny, honey hubby of mine... #

0:13:050:13:14

I mean, supposin' he had violated her, or somethin'.

0:13:140:13:18

You know what I mean, violated? I know.

0:13:180:13:20

That would have been terrible. It's a good thing I got home from work on time,

0:13:200:13:24

I'm tellin' ya that. # ..He loves me so... #

0:13:240:13:27

I say, I'm tellin' you that. # ..That funny honey of mine... #

0:13:270:13:31

- Name of deceased, Fred Casely. - Fred Casely?

0:13:310:13:34

He's not a burglar. My wife knows him. He sold us our furniture.

0:13:340:13:37

He gave us 10% off.

0:13:380:13:40

# ..Lord knows, he ain't got the smarts... #

0:13:400:13:44

You told me he was a burglar.

0:13:440:13:46

He was already dead? He's covered in a sheet

0:13:460:13:48

and she's talkin' about this burglar, and how I oughtta say I did it

0:13:480:13:52

cos I was sure to get off. "Help me, Amos," she says. "It's my goddamn hour of need."

0:13:520:13:57

# ..Now he's shot off his trap

0:13:570:13:59

# I can't stand that sap

0:13:590:14:02

- # Look at him go... # - I believed her.

0:14:020:14:04

- # ..Rattin' on me... # - Tramp!

0:14:040:14:06

- Two-timing me. - # ..With just one more brain... #

0:14:060:14:09

- She can swing for all I care. - # ..A half-wit he'd be... #

0:14:090:14:11

- I'm working 14 hours a day... - # ..If they string me up... #

0:14:110:14:15

# ..He'll bring the twine... # And she's up here tramping around

0:14:150:14:18

like some floozy! Thought she could fool me.

0:14:180:14:21

- # ..That scummy, crummy... # - I wasn't born yesterday.

0:14:210:14:23

- Some things, a man can't take. - # ..Dummy hubby... #

0:14:230:14:27

- # ..Of mine! # - The little chiseller.

0:14:270:14:29

Boy, what a sap I was!

0:14:290:14:31

You double-crosser! You big blabbermouth!

0:14:310:14:35

You promised you'd stick. You been stringin' me, Roxanne!

0:14:350:14:38

God damn it! You said he was a burglar! You been jazzin' him!

0:14:380:14:42

You are a disloyal husband!

0:14:420:14:44

Look, it's true, I shot him.

0:14:470:14:49

But it was self-defence. He was trying to burgle me.

0:14:490:14:52

From what I hear, he's been burgling you three times a week for a month.

0:14:520:14:56

So what do you say, missus? That's him, all right.

0:14:560:15:00

Thank you.

0:15:000:15:01

Your story doesn't wash, Mrs Hart, so try this on for size.

0:15:010:15:05

Fred Casely was a good time, with Goofy here

0:15:050:15:07

as a meal ticket. Meal ticket?

0:15:070:15:09

He couldn't buy my liquor. And Fred Casely could?

0:15:090:15:13

With a wife and five little Caselys? Or didn't he mention them?

0:15:130:15:16

W-w-what? All his.

0:15:170:15:21

ROXIE: (That bastard!)

0:15:210:15:23

That...

0:15:230:15:25

That bastard! Yeah, I killed him and I would kill him again.

0:15:250:15:29

Once was enough, dearie. Take her downtown. Come on!

0:15:290:15:32

MAN: This is it. 264½.

0:15:330:15:35

Here they come. This way, honey! It's a shame to hide such a beautiful face.

0:15:360:15:40

Why'd you shoot him? Give us a profile with a little smile.

0:15:400:15:45

Enjoy it while you can.

0:15:450:15:46

Take this down. "Assistant DA Harrison says it's a hanging case."

0:15:460:15:50

I'm ready to go to the jury. What do you mean, "hanging"?

0:15:500:15:53

Not so tough any more. Take her to Cook County jail.

0:15:530:15:55

Come on, we need a headline. Did he beat you? Was he fooling around?

0:15:550:15:59

Hey...! What do you mean, "hanging"?

Oh, no, call me Mama.

0:18:540:18:56

I'm here to take care of you.

0:19:340:19:37

Ooh! An editorial denouncing me in Redbook magazine.

0:19:370:19:41

"Not in memory do we recall so fiendish and horrible a double homicide."

0:19:410:19:46

You couldn't buy that kind of publicity. No?

So we started living together.

And then I found out.

Single, he told me.

Single, my ass! Not only was he married...

0:25:090:25:13

Oh, no. He had six wives.

0:25:130:25:15

One of those Mormons, you know?

0:25:150:25:18

So that night, when he came home from work,

My sister Veronica and I had this double act,

0:26:420:26:45

and my husband Charlie travelled around with us.

0:26:450:26:50

For our last number, we did 20 acrobatic tricks in a row - one, two,

0:26:500:26:54

three, four, five - splits, back flips, flip-flops, one right after the other.

0:26:540:26:59

So this one night before the show,

we're down at the Hotel Cicero,

the three of us boozin', havin' a few laughs,

and there's Veronica and Charlie doing number 17...

0:27:170:27:19

Well, I was in such a state of shock,

0:27:200:27:23

I completely blacked out. I can't remember a thing.

0:27:230:27:26

0:31:580:32:00

No matter how big she gets,

0:32:000:32:02

she's still as common as ever.

0:32:020:32:04

I'd like to help you, dearie.

0:32:040:32:05

Take a load off.

0:32:080:32:10

So, what do you figure on using for grounds?

0:32:110:32:15

What grounds? What are you gonna tell the jury?

0:32:150:32:17

I just figured I'd tell them the truth.

0:32:170:32:19

- The truth? - Yeah.

0:32:190:32:21

That's a ticket to the death house. Holy Mother of God!

0:32:210:32:25

Oh, relax. I mean, in this town, murder's a form of entertainment.

0:32:250:32:28

Besides, in 47 years, Cook County ain't never hung a woman yet.

0:32:280:32:32

So the odds are 47-1 that they won't hang you. Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

0:32:320:32:37

You're talking to the wrong people. What you need is Billy Flynn.

0:32:370:32:41

Who?

0:32:410:32:42

Billy Flynn - the best criminal lawyer in all of Illinois.

0:32:420:32:45

What he don't know about juries and women!

0:32:450:32:48

How do you get this Billy Flynn?

0:32:480:32:50

Well, not by praying, dearie. First, you give me 100.

0:32:500:32:53

Then I make a phone call. 100? Well, you just...

0:32:530:32:56

I mean, it seems pretty steep for a phone call.

0:32:560:33:00

Oh, but he's worth every cent.

0:33:000:33:02

I mean, he's never lost a case for a female client yet.

0:33:020:33:06

And with a sweet little puss like yours, well...

0:33:060:33:09

justice ain't so blind in Chicago.

0:33:090:33:11

He's never lost a case? Never.

Miss Kelly, do you remember anything at all about that night?

0:35:320:35:36

I passed out, Miss Sunshine. I can't remember a thing.

0:35:360:35:39

Only that I didn't do it. Any idea who did?

0:35:390:35:41

No, but there's a reward for anyone with information about this crime.

0:35:410:35:45

How much is the reward, Miss Kelly? I dunno. How much?

0:35:450:35:48

We'll work it out after the trial. Now, Miss Kelly and I have a lot of work to do.

Mr Flynn, I'm Roxie Hart. Who? Mama talked to you about me.

0:36:060:36:09

Oh, right - the cute one. I was hoping that you might represent me.

0:36:090:36:13

You got 5,000?

0:36:130:36:15

Gee, that's a lot of money!

0:36:150:36:18

- Mmm. - Mama didn't say anything about 5,000.

0:36:180:36:21

Well... Lookit, um...Mr Flynn...

0:36:210:36:23

I'm not very good at this sort of thing.

0:36:230:36:25

Maybe we could, er...make some sort of arrangement between us?

0:36:250:36:30

I can be an awfully good sport.

0:36:300:36:33

Good, that's out of your system.

0:36:330:36:35

Well, hello, Andy.

0:37:490:37:51

- Amos. My name is Amos. - That's right. Take a seat.

0:37:510:37:54

You know, you're a remarkable man.

0:37:560:37:59

Huh? Your wife two-times you,

0:37:590:38:01

plugs the guy, then tries to pin it on you. Most men'd let her swing. But, no, you're sticking by her.

0:38:010:38:06

That makes you a hero in my eyes. That's right. I'm a hero.

0:38:060:38:10

- Did you bring the money? - I didn't do as well as I hoped,

0:38:100:38:14

but I will, Mr Flynn, I will.

0:38:140:38:18

This is only a thousand.

0:38:200:38:21

Plus there's 300 I borrowed from the guys down at the garage and then there's seven...

0:38:210:38:26

700 from the building and loan fund.

0:38:260:38:29

2,000?

0:38:290:38:30

And that's all I got so far, but I'll give you 20 off my salary every week.

0:38:300:38:36

I'll give you interest till every cent is paid.

0:38:360:38:38

- I promise. - Yesterday, I didn't ask you if she was guilty or innocent.

0:38:380:38:42

I didn't ask if she was a drunk or a dope fiend. No.

0:38:420:38:45

All I said was, "Do you have 5,000?" You said yes.

0:38:450:38:48

But you don't HAVE 5,000,

0:38:480:38:50

so I figure you're a dirty liar, and I don't waste my time with dirty liars.

0:38:500:38:55

Look...I'm real sorry, Mr Flynn.

0:38:590:39:03

On the other hand,

0:39:050:39:06

your devotion to your wife is really very, very touching.

0:39:060:39:10

0:39:200:39:23

if he had 5,000 and he'd come to me, things would have turned out differently.

I didn't hear that. Not that I didn't have grounds.

0:39:530:39:56

What are they? That's for the trial.

0:39:560:39:58

Look, nobody's going to care what your defence is unless they care about YOU.

0:39:580:40:02

So we gotta work up some sympathy from the press.

0:40:020:40:05

They're not all pushovers like Mary Sunshine. But one thing they can never resist

0:40:050:40:09

is a reformed sinner.

0:40:090:40:13

So tell me, what was your favourite subject in school?

0:40:130:40:15

Oh, I was a real dummy. There must have been something you were good at.

0:40:150:40:19

I got high marks in courtesy and hygiene.

0:40:190:40:22

- Perfect. You wanted to be a nun. - A nun!?

0:40:220:40:25

Where were you born? On a chicken farm outside of Lubbock.

0:40:250:40:28

A home of luxury and refinement. Where are your parents now?

0:40:280:40:32

- Probably on the front porch in their rocking chairs. - Parents dead.

0:40:320:40:36

Family fortune swept away, you were educated at the Sacred Heart.

0:40:360:40:40

You fell into a runaway marriage - left you miserable, alone, unhappy.

0:40:400:40:44

And of course you got all swept up in the mad whirl of the city - jazz, cabarets, liquor -

0:40:440:40:48

drawn like a moth to the flame.

0:40:480:40:50

- A moth. - Now the mad whirl

0:40:500:40:52

has ceased and you are a butterfly crushed on the wheel.

0:40:520:40:56

So, which is it? Is it the moth or the butterfly?

0:40:560:40:59

- You have sinned and you are sorry. - God, that's beautiful!

NEWSREEL: 'Move over, Al Capone. The Windy City has taken a new criminal to its heart.

0:47:590:48:04

'Roxie Hart is the sweetest little lady ever accused of murder in Chicago.

0:48:040:48:09

'Women want to look like her. Fellas want to go out with her.

0:48:090:48:13

'Some little girls even want to take her home. Don't get any ideas, little lady!

0:48:130:48:17

'On the other side of town, the assistant DA promises

0:48:170:48:20

'the game little sharpshooter will swing before the year is out.

0:48:200:48:24

'If he lives up to his word, assistant DA Harrison might become Governor Harrison someday.

0:48:240:48:30

'Back at the scene of the crime, everybody wants a little piece of Roxie Hart.

0:48:300:48:35

'This jar of cold cream set her husband back 20!

0:48:350:48:38

'Maybe this pretty little lady will get some of that famous Roxie style.

0:48:380:48:42

'It seems everybody these days is rooting for Roxie Hart.'

0:48:420:48:47

MAMA: Take those wiltin' flowers over to the orphanage.

0:48:500:48:53

So, kiddo...

0:48:550:48:57

given any thought to what you wanna do after Billy gets you off?

0:48:570:49:00

Yeah. I think I'd like to go on the stage.

0:49:000:49:02

I figured as much. I already called the Morris office.

0:49:020:49:05

Really? How much is that gonna cost me?

0:49:050:49:09

My standard deal. 10% of all your takings.

0:49:090:49:12

Yeah, well, we'll see, Mama. Besides,

0:49:120:49:15

I don't even have an act yet.

0:49:150:49:16

Killing Fred Casely WAS your act.

0:49:160:49:19

All the audience want is to see somebody famous.

0:49:190:49:21

That's a freak act.

0:49:210:49:23

And besides...

0:49:230:49:25

-I

-am better than that. Of course you are, cupcake.

0:49:250:49:28

I mean, you could be as big as Sophie Tucker.

0:49:280:49:31

You really think so? Bigger than Cantor and Jolson combined.

0:49:310:49:35

I always wanted to have my name in all the papers.

0:49:350:49:38

You know, before I met Amos, I used to date this well-to-do, ugly bootlegger.

0:49:380:49:43

He used to like to take me out and show me off.

0:49:430:49:45

Ugly guys like to do that.

0:49:450:49:47

AN AUDIENCE LAUGHS

0:49:470:49:50

ROXIE: Once it said in the paper, "Gangland's Al Capelli seen at Chez Vito

0:49:500:49:55

"with cute blonde chorine."

0:49:550:49:57

That was me.

0:49:570:49:58

I clipped it and I saved it.

0:49:580:50:01

You know, all my life, I wanted to have my own act.

0:50:010:50:06

But, no.

0:50:060:50:07

No, no, no, no. It was always no. They always turned me down.

0:50:070:50:11

One big world full of "no".

0:50:110:50:13

SULTRY, VAMPING INTRO

0:50:130:50:16

And then Amos came along. AUDIENCE: Ah!

Safe, sweet Amos...

MUTED TRUMPET PLAYS Oh, lookit...

0:50:270:50:30

I've never done this before.

0:50:300:50:33

But, you know, it is such a special night,

0:50:330:50:36

and you are such a great audience. APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:50:360:50:39

And...

0:50:390:50:40

and I just... I really feel like I can...

0:50:400:50:43

I can talk to you, you know?

0:50:430:50:45

So forget what you've read in the papers,

0:50:460:50:48

and forget what you've heard on the radio, because...because...

0:50:480:50:52

well, because I'm gonna tell you the truth.

0:50:520:50:55

Not that the truth really matters...

0:50:550:50:58

LAUGHTER

0:50:580:50:59

But I'm gonna tell you, anyway.

0:50:590:51:02

SULTRY VAMP CONTINUES In the bed department...

0:51:020:51:05

..Amos was...

0:51:060:51:08

..zero.

0:51:090:51:10

LAUGHTER I mean, when he made love to me,

0:51:100:51:14

it was like...it was like he was fixin' a carburettor or somethin'.

0:51:140:51:18

LOW, SHAKY VOICE: "I love ya, honey. I love ya."

0:51:180:51:21

LAUGHTER

0:51:210:51:23

Anyway... I started foolin' around.

0:51:230:51:26

Then I started screwin' around,

0:51:270:51:29

which is foolin' around without dinner.

0:51:290:51:32

RIM SHOT

0:51:320:51:34

LAUGHTER Then I met Fred Casely, who said that he could get me into vaudeville.

0:51:340:51:39

But that didn't quite work out like I planned.

0:51:400:51:43

It didn't really work out too great for Fred, either.

0:51:440:51:47

So I gave up on the whole vaudeville idea,

0:51:480:51:51

cos you kinda figure, after all those years...

0:51:510:51:54

opportunity's just passed you by.

0:51:540:51:57

# But it ain't

0:51:570:51:59

0:52:000:52:02

You'd fit into her costumes perfectly.

1:01:561:02:00

'What Harry does for a living, no-one knows. Anyway, she's footing all the bills.

1:02:001:02:05

'Kitty comes home tonight, Harry's in bed, which is par for the course.

1:02:051:02:09

'She goes to change.

1:02:091:02:11

'When she returns, she notices something...rather odd.

1:02:111:02:15

'Extremely odd.

1:02:181:02:19

'Kitty disappears for a second, cool as a cucumber.

1:02:241:02:27

'When she returns, she gently wakes up Harry.'

1:02:341:02:38

'So get this - Harry's... He says, "Come on, doll.'

1:03:121:03:14

You're not my counsel and I want my money back.

1:03:231:03:25

Not now, Roxie. I got a letter from a guy.

Oh, hey! Mr Flynn!

Mr Flynn! Yeah, hi, Trixie.

1:03:481:03:50

It's Roxie. Yeah, just kidding.

1:03:501:03:52

Did you get my trial date yet?

1:03:521:03:54

- Listen, kid... - Yeah. I'm top of your list, right?

Go to hell!

1:03:581:03:59

Boy, what a hellion, huh?

1:03:591:04:01

A socialite, too. Her mother owns all the pineapples in Hawaii.

1:04:011:04:05

What do I care about pineapples? Listen... OK, OK!

1:04:051:04:08

Hey! Hey!

My readers won't allow it.

1:05:571:05:59

That won't happen. She'll come to trial as soon as possible. You can quote me.

1:05:591:06:03

I think it's sweet. First time we ever had one of our girls knocked up.

1:06:091:06:14

- I'm the father! I'm the father! - Hey, Roxie, who's the father?

1:06:141:06:18

Here's a copy of...Roxie's first statement from the DA's office.

1:08:571:09:01

It says she hadn't copulated with you for four months. Well, she would know.

1:09:011:09:06

Yeah, I guess we hadn't done no copulating since...

1:09:061:09:10

Wait a minute.

1:09:111:09:13

That don't figure out right. I...I couldn't be the father.

1:09:131:09:17

Forget about it. She needs your support.

1:09:171:09:19

You mean she needs a meal ticket.

1:09:191:09:21

That's all I've ever been,

1:09:211:09:23

but this time she's gone too far. What are you going to do?

1:09:231:09:26

- Divorce her? - Damn right! I'll divorce her!

You're wearing it.

1:11:241:11:25

- I'm not. - And when Andy's on the stand, knit.

Knit?! Oh, for chrissakes!

1:11:281:11:30

- A baby garment. - I can't knit.

1:11:301:11:32

- Then learn. - That is no way to win a jury's sympathy.

1:11:321:11:36

- You don't need advice now? - Lookit here, Mr Mouthpiece.

1:11:361:11:39

It seems to me that I am the one who's coming up with the good ideas.

1:11:391:11:43

I am sick of being told what to do.

1:11:431:11:46

And you treat me like dirt, you know that?

1:11:461:11:48

You treat me like I'm some dumb, common criminal.

But you ARE some dumb, common criminal.

Well, that's better than being a greasy, Mick lawyer.

- Who happens to be saving your ass! - Who's out for all he can steal!

1:11:561:11:59

Maybe you'd like to appear in court without me.

1:11:591:12:02

Maybe I could. Have you read the papers? They love me.

Hello, Amos.

1:18:501:18:52

Amos! That's right, Mr Flynn. Amos.

1:18:521:18:56

Amos, when did you file suit for a divorce?

1:18:561:18:58

A month ago.

1:18:581:19:00

Was there a reason for filing then? I'll say.

1:19:001:19:03

The newspapers said Roxie was expecting a little stranger.

1:19:031:19:06

That's hardly grounds for divorce, is it?

1:19:061:19:08

A little too much of a stranger. Oh!

By that you mean you doubted the paternity of the child.

1:19:111:19:14

Well, sure. Tell me something.

1:19:141:19:16

You share a bed with your wife? Yes, sir. Every night.

1:19:161:19:20

You expect us to believe that you slept next to THIS woman

1:19:201:19:22

every night without exercising your rights as a husband?

1:19:221:19:26

I could've if I wanted to. But you didn't?

1:19:261:19:28

No, I did. Did what?

1:19:281:19:30

Want to. But you didn't.

1:19:301:19:31

Didn't what? What you wanted!

1:19:311:19:32

I'm gettin' confused here.

1:19:321:19:34

Hey, tell me, Hart, you tell me.

1:19:341:19:36

Did you ever question Roxie herself?

1:19:361:19:38

Did you ask her if you were the father of her child?

1:19:381:19:41

No, sir. No, no.

1:19:411:19:43

If you became convinced that you were wrong,

1:19:431:19:45

you'd be man enough to admit it, wouldn't you?

1:19:451:19:47

You'd even be willing to take her back, if Roxie swore

1:19:471:19:50

that you were the father, which she does. She does?

1:19:501:19:54

She does! She does!

1:19:561:19:58

No more questions. You can step down now.

1:19:581:20:02

Well done, Andy.

JUDGE: Order. Order.

1:21:091:21:11

Proceed, Mr Flynn.

1:21:111:21:13

Roxie, I have here a statement in which

1:21:131:21:16

you admit to having illicit relations with Fred Casely.

1:21:161:21:19

Is this true or false? I'm afraid that's true.

1:21:191:21:21

You're an honest girl, Roxie.

1:21:211:21:23

When did you first meet Fred Casely?

1:21:231:21:26

When he sold Amos and me our furniture.

1:21:261:21:29

Your personal relationship with him, when did that begin?

1:21:291:21:32

When I permitted him to escort me home one night.

1:21:321:21:36

I don't think I would have gone with him

1:21:361:21:38

if Mr Hart and me hadn't quarreled that morning.

1:21:381:21:40

< Quarreled? Yes, sir.

1:21:401:21:42

I suppose it was his fault.

1:21:421:21:44

Oh no, sir. It was my fault.

1:21:441:21:46

I suppose I just couldn't stop pesterin' him.

1:21:461:21:49

Pestering him? About what?

1:21:491:21:51

I didn't like him working long hours at the garage.

1:21:511:21:54

I wanted him home with me

1:21:541:21:56

to darn his socks and iron his shirts.

1:21:561:21:59

I wanted a real home and a child.

1:21:591:22:01

So you drifted into this illicit relationship

1:22:011:22:04

because you were unhappy at home.

1:22:041:22:06

Yes. I was most unhappy.

1:22:061:22:09

Roxie Hart!

1:22:101:22:12

The State has accused you of the murder of Fred Casely.

1:22:121:22:15

Are you guilty or not guilty?

1:22:151:22:17

I'm not guilty! I'm not guilty!

1:22:171:22:19

I killed him, I did, but I'm not a criminal.

1:22:191:22:22

I'm not a criminal.

1:22:221:22:24

There, there.

1:22:241:22:25

Roxie?

1:22:251:22:27

Uh-huh?

1:22:271:22:30

Now, do you recall the night of January 14?

1:22:301:22:32

Uh-huh. Could you tell the jury,

1:22:321:22:34

in your own words, the happenings of that night?

1:22:341:22:37

Well...

1:22:371:22:40

when Fred came over, I told him my good news.

1:22:401:22:42

What was that?

1:22:421:22:44

That me and Amos were gonna have a baby.

1:22:441:22:47

And that it was all over between us.

1:22:471:22:49

What happened then? Well, then, er...

1:22:491:22:53

Then...

1:22:561:22:57

Did he threaten you, Roxie?

1:22:571:22:59

Objection, your honour. Counsel's leading the witness.

1:22:591:23:03

Sustained.

1:23:011:23:03

SHE CRIES

1:23:031:23:05

What did Casely say when you told him the news?

1:23:051:23:09

"I'll kill you before I see you have another man's child."

1:23:091:23:13

Could you tell the audience... The jury! ..what happened next?

1:23:131:23:17

In his passion he tore off my robe and he threw me on the bed.

1:23:171:23:20

And, and, and, Mr Hart's pistol was lying there between us.

1:23:201:23:23

And then? We both reached for the gun,

1:23:231:23:26

but I got it first.

1:23:261:23:27

And then he came toward me with this funny look in his eyes.

1:23:271:23:30

He was angry and wild! Wild!

1:23:301:23:33

Wild! Did you think he meant to kill you?

1:23:331:23:35

Oh, yes, sir. Yes, sir. So it was his life or yours?

1:23:351:23:38

And not just mine. I closed my eyes and I shot.

1:23:381:23:42

In defence of your life?

this would be invasion of privacy and violation of the fourth amendment,

1:27:581:28:01

Yes. I mean, if it turns out that you knew that this diary was a fake,

1:28:011:28:05

this diary in Roxie's cell?

1:28:191:28:21

No.

1:28:211:28:23

Mama - Miss Morton - gave it to me. She said someone sent it to her.

1:28:231:28:27

Someone? Any idea who this mysterious benefactor might be?

1:28:271:28:31

No. She didn't know.

1:28:311:28:33

All right, let's see if we can work this out. Someone who writes about...

1:28:331:28:37

hmm...reneging on pledges, and, and, and...

1:28:371:28:40

Erroneous charges...

1:28:401:28:42

Call me crazy, but doesn't that sound like a lawyer?

1:28:421:28:45

A lawyer! A lawyer who obviously had a sample of my client's handwriting.

1:28:451:28:50

Mr Harrison, didn't you ask Roxie

1:28:501:28:52

to write out a confession for you? Yes,

1:28:521:28:55

but you're not suggesting I'd tamper with evidence?!

1:28:551:28:57

Don't be ridiculous. No, that's thoroughly and utterly absurd.

1:28:571:29:02

But now that you mention it...

1:29:021:29:07

Your honour, this is outrageous!

1:29:031:29:07

It's outrageous, I agree!

1:29:041:29:07

To suggest that the prosecutor would make a thieves' bargain

1:29:071:29:10

with the notorious Velma Kelly and then fabricate the very evidence that set her free...

1:29:101:29:14

HARRISON: Velma Kelly is not on trial.

1:29:141:29:16

...one step closer to the Governor's mansion!

1:29:161:29:19

Why it's simply beyond all imagining!

1:29:191:29:22

I'll hold you in contempt. No, it is not even conceivable!

1:29:221:29:26

But...but if it were, wouldn't it be time to say, "Come clean, Mr Harrison!?

1:29:261:29:30

Even in Chicago, this kind of corruption cannot stand!

1:29:301:29:33

Will not stand!

1:29:331:29:36

1:35:111:35:13

You know, I'm not quite finished yet. I-I have...

1:35:131:35:16

Wai-wai-wait. O-o-one more. Um, I could, er...

1:35:161:35:18

Just a second.

1:35:181:35:20

Goddamn it!

1:35:201:35:22

Thank you!

1:35:231:35:25

Here's the music, hon.

1:35:251:35:27

Thanks.

1:35:341:35:36

You know, you're really pretty good.

1:35:451:35:47

Yeah, that and a dime.

1:35:491:35:51

What are you doing here?

1:35:521:35:55

I heard you been, er, makin' the rounds.

1:35:551:35:57

If it was up to you, I'd be swingin' by now.

1:35:571:36:00

C'mon, I knew Billy'd get you off.

1:36:001:36:02

You should learn how to put things behind you.

1:36:021:36:04

Oh, thank you. I'll put that at the top of my list,

1:36:041:36:07

right after finding a job and an apartment with a john.

1:36:071:36:10

Just shut up, and listen.

1:36:101:36:11

Oh, you really are somethin'!

1:36:111:36:13

Comin' in here like some goddamn queen bee

1:36:131:36:16

all full of advice for a poor slob like me.

1:36:161:36:19

Well, let me tell you something, Miss Velma Kelly.

1:36:191:36:22

I got a new life now, and one of the best things about it is it don't include you.

1:36:221:36:27

I just thought we could help each other. Well, you thought wrong.

1:36:271:36:30

No, look, listen to me.

1:36:301:36:32

I talked to this guy downtown.

1:36:321:36:34

He said one jazz killer's nothin' these days, but two...

1:36:341:36:38

We could make a coupla hundred a week.

1:36:471:36:49

Think about it, Roxie. Our faces back in the papers.

1:36:491:36:52

Our names on the marquee.

1:36:521:36:54

Velma Kelly and Roxie Hart...

1:36:541:36:57

Shouldn't it be alphabetical? That could work.

1:36:571:37:00

A coupla hundred? Maybe we could ask for a thou.

1:37:001:37:04

We're worth it.

1:37:041:37:06

Forget it. It'll never work.

1:37:071:37:10

Why not?

1:37:101:37:12

Cos I hate you.

1:37:121:37:14

There's only one business in the world

1:37:141:37:16

where that's no problem at all.
