How do I know you got

what it takes to win?

'Cause I'm tellin' you, Spot.

That ain't good enough,

Jackie boy.

You gotta show me.

Double down, boys,

double down.

How you doin', Jack?

Jack, so where's Spot?

He was concerned

about us bein' serious.

Maybe we ought to

ease off a little.

Without Spot and the others,

there's not enough of us.

Maybe we're movin' too soon,

maybe we ain't ready.

I definitely think we should

forget about it for a little while.

- Oh, do you?

- Yeah, we're not Brooklyn.

Who we kiddin' here? Spot was right.

Is it just a game to you?

- Hey, Crutchy.

- Hiya, Jack.

# Send out the call

- Yeah!

- Yeah!

Anybody hear that?

- No!

- What are we gonna do about it?

Soak 'em!

Come on, it's a beautiful day!

Let's go! Let's go!

Come on, buy your papes!

What's goin' on here?

Move it, move it!

Move it!

- All right!

- Atta boy!

You did good.

It's about time, South,

where you been?

We got a big one, fellas.

Is he a newsie or what?

Hey, hey, hey.

Fellas, fellas.

Blink.

Now, Jack, just don't...

- Hey-hey-hey-hey!

- I'm gonna crack your dome!

What's he doin'?

What are you starin' at!

What are you lookin' at?

Look out!

Jack! Jack!

Hey! It's the Bulls!

Hey, cheese it!

Cheese it, it's the Bulls!

Les!

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Whoa! Crutchy!

Scram! Scram!

Oh!

- Hey!

- Heya, fellas, how ya doin'?

Huh, huh?

Hey, guys, don't.

Hey, what ya doin'?

So, here it is, the refuge.

My home, sweet home.

How can you be sure

they sent Crutchy here?

How can I be sure

the Delanceys stink?

It's just the way things work.

An orphan gets arrested,

Snyder makes sure he gets sent here

so he can rehabilitate him.

The more kids in a refuge,

the more money the city sends

to take care of 'em,

the more Snyder

sticks in his pocket.

He's here.

So how come

you brought the rope?

Gently, Dave, gently.

That's good. That's good.

Cowboy, you miss the joint?

What do you say, Ten-Pin?

You got a new guy, Crutchy?

- The gimp? I'll get him for ya.

- Yeah, the gimp.

Crutchy, Jack.

Hey, Crutchy.

I don't believe it.

- Hey, thanks.

- Hey, Crutchy.

What are ya hangin'

around here for?

- What do you mean?

Know who's on the roof?

- Who?

- Dave.

- Is that Dave? Dave, how ya doin'?

- Shh!

- Listen, go get your stuff.

- We're gonna get you out.

- Well, um...

Actually, I ain't

walkin' so good.

Oscar and Morris kinda

worked me over a little.

They hurt ya?

Don't worry about it,

me and Dave can carry you out.

I don't want nobody

carryin' me.

Never, d'ya hear?

Hey, Davey, they still talk about

how Jack rode outta here on that coach.

- Teddy Roosevelt's, right?

- You already heard the story.

- You mean, it's true?

- Of course.

Hey, cheese it!

Uh, Mr. Warden Snyder, sir,

I was thinking.

I'd like you to know that when

you were taking a nap this afternoon...

I don't think they're

just going to go away, Chief.

Mr. Pulitzer, sir.

Just give me the means

and I'll take care of them for ya.

Give him whatever means he requires.

I want this nonsense done with.

- Chief...

- Shut your mouth, Seitz!

Come on, you grafters,

cross the line.

All right,

everyone remain calm!

Let's soak 'em for Crutchy.

Oh, Jack!

Jack, it's a trick!

Wait!

Hiya, Jackie boy.

Les, get outta here, go!

Hey!

- Aren't you going to stop them, sir?

- Move along, mister.

Never fear,

Brooklyn is here.

- Brooklyn!

- Brooklyn!

Come here, ya... Come on!

Hey, I give up.

All right, I give up.

Oooh!

Hey, Spot!

Hiya, Weasel.

Are you all right?

Hey, David.

Jack! Boys! Freeze!

- Freeze!

- All right, guys.

Extra! Extra!

"Children's Crusade,

Newsies Stop 'The World.'"

- Hey, fellas! This is it!

- Hey, Denton.

Hey, hey, big time.

What you got there, Jack?

Where's me picture?

Where's me picture?

Them words there,

they all about us?

- Look at you, Jack,

you look like a general.

- Get your fingers off.

- Where does it say my name?

- Quit thinkin' about yourself.

- You got us on the front page.

- You got yourselves on the front page.

I just gotta make sure

you stay there.

So what, you get your

picture in the papes?

What's that get ya?

What are you

talkin' about, huh?

You've been in

a bad mood all day.

- I'm not in a bad mood!

- Glum and dumb! What's the matter?

You're in the papes!

You're famous.

You're famous,

you get anything you want.

- That's what's so great about New York!

- Yeah!
