Song: Learn to do it - Anastasia (the Broadway Musical)

Jack (17), Race (15), and Mush (16) circle Davey (16), who was confused. He just wanted to be done with this.

The three boys knew they needed to teach him about selling papes and the history behind it if he ever wanted to be good at it.

"We have a lot of work to do" Mush mumbles. Davey shoots him a look, offended.

"It can't be that hard" Davey mumbles. Jack and Mush burst out laughing, as Race snickers a bit.

"We've lots and lots to teach you and the time is going fast" Race sings, patting Davey on the shoulder. He was shorter than Davey, sadly.

"Let's see you walk. Head up! Regal bearing!" Jack exclaims. Race and Mush snicker.

Race: Now, shoulders back and stand up tall
And do not walk, but try to float

He fixes Davey's posture, while singing.

Davey: I feel a little foolish
Am I floating?

Mush: Like a sinking boat

Race shoots Mush a glare, as Davey sighs in defeat. He did not think this would be this hard.

Race: You give a coin

He hands Davey a dime.

Davey studies the coin in his hands.
What happens now?

"You get your papes?" Mush deadpans. Davey nods.

Jack, Race: Most of all remember this:

Race: If I can learn to do it
You can learn to do it

Jack: Something in you knows it

Mush, Race: There's nothing to it!

Jack: Follow in my footsteps
Shoe by shoe!

He leads Davey, as Davey tries to follow/copy him.

Race, Mush: You can learn to do it too!

Mush: Now, elbows in and sit up straight
And do not say 'hi' to the Delanceys

"Why not?" Davey questions. Mush facepalms.

"Just don't, it's for your benefit, seeing as you can't fight" Jack responds. Davey rolls his eyes, as Mush snickers again.

Mush: The harbor!

Race: The Brooklyn bridge!

Davey: Sell and then goodnight?

Jack, Mush: Not until you get this right!

Race: If I can learn to do it

Mush: If we can learn to do it
