It's all a circus, kid. A three ring circus. These trials - the whole world - all showbusiness. But kid, you're working with a star - the biggest!

Page 3 of 4Look, honey, you want some advice? Well, here it is, direct from me to you. Keep your paws off my underwear, 'kay?
Miss Velma Kelly in an act...of desperation.
Mr. Billy Flynn and the press conference rag. Notice how his mouth never moves...almost.
My audience loves me. And I love them. And they love me for lovin' them and I love them for lovin' me. And we love each other. And that's cause none of us got enough love in our childhoods. And that's showbiz, kid.
My sister Veronica and I had this double act, and my husband Charlie traveled around with us. Now for the last number in our act, we did these twenty acrobatic tricks in a row. One, two, three, four, five, splits, spread eagles, backflips, flip-flops, one right after the other. So this one night before the show, we're down at the Hotel Cicero. The three of us boozin' , having a few laughs. And we ran out of ice, so I go out to get some. I come back...open the door...and there's Veronica and Charlie, doing number seventeen: the Spread Eagle. Well, I was in such a state of shock; I completely blacked out, I can't remember a thing. It wasn't until later, when I was washing the blood off my hands, I even knew they were dead!
Oh, and by the way, here's a piece of advice from me to you: lay off the caramels.
Some men just can't hold their arsenic.
Sometimes you get a little success, and it's good riddance to who put you there.
They'd love you a lot more if you were hanged. You know why? Because it would sell more papers. That's Chicago.
This dress makes me look like a Woolworths lamp shade. I'm not wearing this dress.
This is Chicago, kid. You can't beat fresh blood on the walls.
What's your talent; washing and drying?
When you came to me, I didn't ask if she was guilty, I didn't ask if she was innocent, I didn't ask if she was a drunk, a dope fiend. No, I asked, did you have five thousand dollars, and you told me yes, but you don't have five thousand dollars so I figure you are a dirty liar and I don't do deals with dirty liars!
You want some advice, well here's a piece of advice from me to you, lay off the caramels.
