  [Frankie marches out back, gunshots are heard; fade in back to courtroom] 

  Bartender : Rooty toot toot.

  Judge : Rooty toot toot?

  Bartender : Right in the snoot.

• Nelly Bly : [singing]  I'm Nelly Bly, I'm a singer / A singer of sweet melody...

  Frankie : Lie! It's a lie! She's no singer!

  Judge : [bangs gavel]  Please!

  Nelly Bly : As I started to say, I'm a singer / At least in my time, I've heard worse / I was in the back room there with John Boy / But only to rehearse / He seemed just a little bit nervous / I've seen Frankie's temper before / Rooty toot toot went Frankie's gun / Right throught that hardwood door / She shot her man / But we were doing no wrong.

  District Attorney : She shot her man, there's not dispute / She shot her man with her rooty toot toot!
