Comme un fou
J'ai quand même dit: "Fred, avance."

L'avez-vous combattu?

[BILLY (comme Roxie)]
Comme un tigre.

Il avait de la force et elle n'en avait pas.

[BILLY (comme Roxie)]
Et pourtant, nous avons tous deux atteint le pistolet
Oh oui, oh oui, oh oui nous deux

Pour l'arme.

Très effrayé

[REPORTERS]
Es-tu désolé?

[ROXIE]
Est-ce que vous plaisantez?

[REPORTERS]
Quelle est votre déclaration?

Bien que mon choo-choo ait sauté la piste
