"Say it again Fred." Roxie breathed
"Jesus!" Fred rolled his eyes.
"Hey Freddie.Fred?" "Where's the fire?" "Amos ain't gonna be home 'till midnight." "Hey Fred.I don't want you to feel like I'm naggin' or anything but don't you think you should have heard from that guy down at the club?" "It's been a month since you've told him about me." "I remember 'cause that was the night Velma Kelly plugged her sister and her husband." "Hey Fred maybe we could open a club." "Y'know.you could run it and.I could be the headliner."
"Wake up kiddo, you ain't never gonna have an act!"
"But you got connections.that guy down at the club."
"What guy?" "There is no guy.that was the first time I ever set foot in that joint!" "I went in to collect a bet from the trombone player."
"So you never told anyone about me?"
"Bu-b.y-you lied to me!"
"Sugar you were hot stuff!" "I woulda said anything to getta piece a that!"
"Stay then.now?"
"Get OFF!" Fred roared. He shoved Roxie into the wall. "You touch me again and I'll put your lights out." "We've had some laughs lets leave it at that."
"You.you lied to me"
"That's right sweet-heart, that's right."
"You're a liar Fred." "You lied to me!" Roxie slides from her spot on the wall over to the bureau. She reaches in and pulls out something. "You son of a bitch." She shoots him and he falls to the ground. "You son of a bitch!" She shoots again. "You son of a."
