Spot Conlon:
I've been hearing things from little birds. Things from Harlem, Queens, all over. They been chirpin' in my ear. Saying Jacky-boy's Newsies is playing like they're going on strike.
Jack Kelly:
Yeah, well we are.
David Jacobs:
But we're not playing. We are going on strike.
Spot Conlon:
Oh yeah? Yeah? What is this, Jacky-boy? Some kind of walking mouth?
Jack Kelly:
Yeah, it's a mouth. A mouth with a brain, and if you got half a one, you'll listen to what he's got to say.
David Jacobs:
Well, we started the strike, but we can't do it alone. So, we're talking to Newsies all around the city.
Spot Conlon:
Yeah, so they told me. But what'd they tell you?
David Jacobs:
They're waiting to see what Spot Conlon is doing, you're the key. That Spot Conlon is the most respected and famous Newsie in all of New York, and probably everywhere else. And if Spot Conlon joins the strike then they join, and we'll be unstoppable. So you gotta join, I mean... well, you gotta!
Spot Conlon:
You're right Jacky-boy, brains. But I got brains too, and more than just half a one. How do I know you punks won't run the first time some goon comes at ya with a club? How do I know you got what it takes to win?
Jack Kelly:
Because I'm telling you, Spot.
Spot Conlon:
That ain't good enough Jacky-boy. You gotta show me.
