Daredevil's P.O.V
We got outta the circulation building Jack and I were helping new newsies, David and Les. Les was really good at selling papes, but Davey was saying "my parents told us not to lye, blah blah blah!" So I said "well my parents told me not to starve, so we both gotta education, kid" Jack smirked at me.

David's P.O.V
I was saying "my parents told us not to lye!" Then Jennifer rolled her eyes than said "my parents told me not to starve, so we both have a education, KID!!!!" For one thing I am older than you. Second, why does she have a nickname DAREDEVIL!!!!

~~~~time skip~~~~

DAVID: Pulitzer and Hearst have to respect our rights.

JACK: Hey listen! Pulitzer and Hearst have to respect the rights of the
working boys of New York! Well, that worked pretty good, so what else?

DAVID: Tell them that they can't treat us like we don't exist.

(Begin Song)

JACK: Pulitzer and Hearst, they think we're nothing. Are we nothing?

NEWSIES: No!

DAVID: If we stick together like the trolley workers then they can't break us up.

JACK: Pulitzer and Hearst, they think they got us. Do they got us?

NEWSIES: No!

DAVID: We're a union now, the Newsboys Union. We have to start acting like a union.

JACK:
Even though we ain't got hats or badges
We're a union just by saying so
And the World will know!

BOOTS: What's to start somebody else from selling our papes?

JACK: Well, what's wrong with them?

RACETRACK: Some of them don't hear so good!

JACK: Well then we'll soak 'em!

DAVID: No! We can't beat up kids in the streets. It'll give us a bad name.

CRUTCHY: Can't get any worse.

JACK: What's it gonna take to stop the wagons? Are we ready?

NEWSIES: Yeah!

DAVID: No!

JACK:
What's it gonna take to stop the scabber?
Can we do it?

NEWSIES: Yeah!

JACK:
We'll do what we gotta do until we
Break the will of mighty Bill and Joe!

NEWSIES:
And the World will know
And the Journal too!
Mr. Hearst and Pulitzer
Have we got news for you!
Now the World will hear
What we've got to say
We've been hawking headlines
But we're making 'em today.
And our ranks will grow!

CRUTCHY: And we'll kick their rear!

NEWSIES: And the World will know that we been here!

JACK:
When the circulation bell starts ringing
Will we hear it?

NEWSIES: No!

JACK:
What if the Delancey's come out swinging'
Will we hear it?

NEWSIES:
No!
When you've got a hundred voices singing
Who can hear a lousy whistle blow?
And the World will know
That this ain't no game
That we got a ton of rotten fruit and perfect aim
So they gave their word
But it ain't worth beans!
Now they're gonna see what 'stop the presses' really mean
And the day has come
And the time is now
And the fear is gone

BOOTS: And their name is mud!

NEWSIES:  And the strike is on

BOOTS: And I can't stand blood!

NEWSIES: And the World will..

JACK: Pulitzer may crack the whip but he won't whip us!

NEWSIES:
Pulitzer may crack the whip but he won't whip us!
And the World will know
And the World will learn
And the World will wonder how
We made the tables turn
And the World will see
That we had to choose
That the things we do today
Will be tomorrow's news
And the old will fall
And the young stand tall
And the time is now
And the winds will blow
And our ranks will grow
And grow and grow and so
The World will feel the fire
And finally
-----song ends-----
Jack's P.O.V
So we gotta be ambassadors and get the word out that we're on strike is what I said to all of the newsies
Blink said "I'll take Harlem" "I'll take Midtown" Race said "I'll take the Bronx" Crutchy said. "Alright. And Bumlets, and Specs and Skittery, you take Queens." I said "Pie Eater! Snoddy! East Side! Snipeshooter, you go with 'em." I said as I kicked Snipshooter. "Who wants Brooklyn? Come on its Spot Conlon's territory!" I said "are youse scared of Brooklyn" I teased "we ain't scared of Brooklyn, Spot Conlon just makes us a little nervous" Boot's said loudly "well he don't make me nervous, so you and me Boots and Dave can keep us company!!" "Can I come too?" Jen asked "sure Daredevil!!!!" I said
