We Both Reached for the Gun - The Hit Co.

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?

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 cant beleive what you have been through A convent girl!

A run-away marriage!

Now tell us roxie…

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 doing wrong.

Then describe it.

He came toward me.

With the 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

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 your 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?
