Scene 6
The Visitor’s Area
(AMOS & ROXIE are S.R in what is the visitor’s area of the Jail. )

ANNOUNCER:
Ladies & Gentlemen, a tap dance.

ROXIE: (to AMOS, with great feeling)
Oh, Amos, I knew you’d come. I’ve been sinful, but I want to make up to you for what I done. And I will, just as soon as I get out of here. And I can, too, Amos. You see, there’s this lawyer, and he costs five thousand dollars.

AMOS:
Roxie, I’m tired of your fancy footwork. The answer is "no".

ROXIE:
I know I lied to you. I know I cheated on you. I even stole money from your pants pockets while you were sleepin’.

AMOS:
You did?

ROXIE:
But I never stopped loving you, no, not my Amos – so manly, so attractive, so… I’m embarrassed… so sexy.

AMOS:
But, five thousand bucks…

ROXIE:
It’s my hour of need for chrissakes!

AMOS:
Okay. I’ll get it for you, Roxie. I’ll get it.
(Three people finish the dance. ROXIE nods a bow to the audience)
