  • "My exit music, please?" *silence* Poor Amos.
  • Even Amos' parents didn't notice him. "One day, I came home from school, and they'd moved."

    Billy: My client never kept a diary!
    Roxie: Yeah! And she broke the lock!
  • "So I took the shotgun off the wall and I fired two warning shots... into his head."
  • "And then he ran into my knife. He ran into my knife ten times!"
  • Depending on the actresses involved, "Class" can very quickly turn into this.
  • At the ending of Velma's spectacular dance number, "I Can't Do It Alone," trying to get Roxie to join her act:
  • Billy denying that he's saying that the prosecution faked Roxie's diary. (beat) "But now that you mention it..."
  • Roxie confusing the various aspects of her "background" story.
    Roxie: I was born on the beautiful Southern convent!
    Mama: What?
  • Towards the end of "We Both Reached For The Gun", Roxie decides to answer one question on her own after Billy gets distracted.
    Mary Sunshine: Are you sorry?
    Roxie: Are you kidding?!
    • Earlier, we get this gem:
      Reporter: When'd you get here?
      Billy-as-Roxie: 1920.
      Reporter: How old were you?
      (Roxie elbows Billy angrily)
      Billy-as-Roxie: Don't remember!
  • "SHE STOLE MY GARTER!"
