It's a miracle,

Weasel? He's dying!
Flashpots are shooting bright as the sun.
I'm one hifalutin' son of a gun.
He's on the table in the center of the room with Skittery.

Jack: Let's have some ideas
David: Well, we gotta show people where we stand.
Jack: Yeah, so we gotta stay in the papes.
Denton  My paper's the only one printing any strike news so far.
Jack:  So, we should do something that's so big the other papers'll feel stupid if they try to ignore us. Like a rally. A newsiew rally with all the kids from all over New York.  It'll be the biggest, loudest, noisiest blow-out this town's ever seen!
David: We'll send a message to the big boys.
Racetrack: Yesh, I'll give em a message.
Jack: There's a lot of us, and we ain't going away.  We'll fight until damn Doomsday if it means we get a fair shake.
David: Hey guys, to our man Denton.
Newsies: Our Man Denton!
He's behind Denton and Racetrack during this long continous scene.  You can here his ad lib after 
Jack:  We'll fight until damn Doomsday if it means we get a fair shake.
Specs says:  Right to that.

 

Specs: That's an unusual name for these parts. He's the one speaking.  He's next to Skittery on the stairs.
