If you're still wanting to know: it's "pop" "six" "squish" "uh-uh" "Cicero" and "Lipschitz". The words refer to the main points in each of the girls' stories:

First guy "Ernie" was killed because he kept "popping" his chewing gum;
"Ezekiel Young from Salt Lake City" wasn't single as he told the second woman - he was a mormon with six wives;
The third unlucky guy "ran into my knife", and presumably made a "squishing" sound as he did so (!);
The fourth woman is the only one of the 6 murderesses to proclaim her complete innocence: when asked by Roxy "yeah, but did ya do it?" her response is "uh-uh: not guilty!"
"Cicero" is the name of the Hotel where Velma, her husband and her sister where on the night Velma caught them doing the "spreadeagle" and killed them both;
and Al Lipschitz is the "sensitive" artist who is killed by his (seemingly) jealous girlfriend after a series of his affairs.

I think I've watched this film far too many times: it wasn't at all hard to recal the dialogue for than entire scene!
