The Manhattan newsies were all gathered around the statue when the four arrived back from Brooklyn. The younger ones were doing their own thing as the others watched them. They all noticed Jack walk in, "How you doing, Jack?"
"So uh, where's Spot, huh?" Race asked.
"Oh he was concerned about us being serious. You imagine that?"
"Well Jack, maybe we ought to ease off a little." Race replies.
"Without Spot and the others, there ain't enough of us, Jack." Blink points out.
"Maybe we're moving too soon. Maybe we ain't ready, you know?" Mush adds.
"I definitely think we should forget about it for a little while."
"Oh, do ya?"
"Yeah"
"Yeah, I mean, we're not Brooklyn."
"Hey, who we kidding here? Spot was right. Is it just a game to you guys?"
The newsies all let out signs of protest, "Not a game."
"Heya Crutchy." Jack sighs.
"Heya Jack."
Both David and Lila walk around the statue.
Open the gates and seize the day Don't be afraid and don't delay (David)
David hugs his brother and Lila follows suit after.
Nothing can break us No one can make us Give are rights away (Lila)
They both help Crutchy up from where he was sitting.
Arise and seize the day (Both)
The group starts dancing.
Now is the time to sieze the day (David) Now is the time to sieze the day Send out the call and join the fray (David) Send out the call and join the fray
