We Both Reached for the Gun Lyrics

[00:00.82] Matron: Mr Flynn, the reporters are here
[00:02.42] Flynn: Let them in, Buch
[00:03.64] (Overlappping questions)
[00:06.58] Act like a dummy
[00:08.24] You sit on my lap
[00:09.19] And I'll do all the talking
[00:10.25] (Flynn is talking as Roxy from now on)
[00:10.25] Announcer: Mr Billy Flynn sings the press conferance rag
[00:13.29] Notice how his mouth never moves
[00:15.30] Almost...
[00:17.45] Journalists: Where did you come from?
[00:19.14] Flynn: Missisipi
[00:20.81] Journalists: And your parents?
[00:22.53] Flynn: Very wealthy
[00:24.26] Journalists: Where are they now?
[00:25.96] Flynn: Six feet under
[00:27.35] But she was granted one more star
[00:29.00] The convent of the sacred heart
[00:31.07] Journalists: When did ya get here
[00:32.81] Flynn: 1920
[00:34.49] Journalists: How old were you?
[00:36.16] Flynn: Don't remember
[00:37.89] Journalists: Then what happened?
[00:39.78] Flynn: I met Amos
[00:41.22] And he stole my heart away
[00:42.63] Convinced me to elope one day
[00:44.98] Sunshine: A convent girl
[00:46.07] Oh, and a runaway marrige
[00:47.75] This is going to be too terrible
[00:49.77] You poor dear
[00:51.62] Journalists: Who's Fred Casely?
[00:53.46] Flynn: My ex boyfriend
[00:55.09] Journalists: Why ya shoot him?
[00:57.06] Flynn: I was leaving
[00:58.46] Journalists: Was he angry?
[01:00.13] Flynn: Like a madman
[01:01.54] Still I said 'Fred move along'
[01:03.21] Flynn (as himself): She knew that she was doing wrong
[01:05.19] Journalists: Then describe it?
[01:06.95] Flynn: He came towards me
[01:08.59] Journalists: With the pistol?
[01:10.24] Flynn: From my
