You're a liar! You lied about everything. You lied about your father being out west, 'cause he's not out west! You didn't even tell me your real name!

So? What you wanna do about it Dave?

I don't understand you.

Oh, so let me spell it out for you. You see, I ain't got nobody tucking me in at night, like you. It's just me, I gotta look out for myself.

You had the Newsies!

Oh, what'd being a Newsie ever give me but a dime a day and a few black eyes? You know, I can't afford to be a kid no more, Dave. For the first time in my life, I got money in my pockets. Real money. Money, you understand? I got more on the way and as soon as I collect, I'm gone, I'm away.

Well, that's good! That's good because we don't need you! We don't need you! All those words you said, those were mine.

Yeah, but you never had the guts to put them across yourself, did ya?

I do now.
