"SO THIS REAL, SMOOTY MUG SAYS TO ME 'YOU CANT SEE MR PULITZER NO ONE SEES MR PULITZER" Jack begins, Ellie, Davey, Les, Denton the news reporter and jack himself all sit around a table in the restaurant.
"Real hoity-toity, you know the type?" He tells Denton. "Real hoity-toity" les repeats.
Les sat on the same side as Jack with David opposite him and ellie opposite jack and Denton at the other end of the table facing the window.
"So that's when I says to him, 'listen, I ain't in the habit of transacting no business with office boys. Just tell him Jack Kelly's here to see him now"
Les swallowed his drink and looked at Denton, "that's when he threw us out."
Ellie eat her food, listening to the story. Every once in a while her and jack would glance at each other and smile or playfully kick each other under the table.
"Does it scare you? You're goin' up against the most powerful man in New York City" Denton looked at jack calmly.
He grabbed the edges of his jacket and shook them, "oh, yeah, look at me. I'm tremblin'."
"Jack ain't scared of no one or nothin'" ellie spoke up after keeping quiet. "Youse the same ellie shut up" he gently hit her arm that was rested on the table.
"All right, keep me informed. I wanna know everything that's going on" Denton handed Davey a card and grabbed his things, smiling at jack and ellie from what he saw.
"Are we really an important story?" Dave read the card. "Well, what's important? Last year ... I covered the war in Cuba. Charged up San Juan Hill with colonel teddy Roosevelt. That was a very important story." He nodded.
"So ... is the newsies' strike important?" Denton stood up, "it all depends on you."
"So my names really gonna be in the papers?" Jack asked as the other three continued eating. "Any objections?" Denton turned around.
"Not as long as you get it right. Kelly, Jack Kelly. Oh, and Denton? No pictures." He smiled.
"Why? Not want people to see your gorgeous face jacky boy?" Eleanor looked up from her plate. "You shut your mouth missy" he chuckled.
