"My newspaper was upset because it was bad for all newspaper businessmen. They weren't happy about the fact that you were striking, but they were even more upset that I was reporting it, saying that I was all for you guys striking. They thought that I should have been reporting stocks, or anything else."
"Racetrack," David said, "I thought that we were going to cut the soakin' out! 'Member? It gives us a bad name!"
David handed him a napkin.
"Here wipe off your face," David laughed, "I can't keep a straight face when I'm looking at you, all covered in mustard!"

"Whad are ya me mudda?" Race said jokingly,taking the napkin and wiping the mustard off.
"Stocks?" Jack said,raising an eyebrow. " Dats nuts. " he then said, "Well dey betta be ready ta get upset again cause we're back ta da picket lines.But dey ain' gotta worry bout you puttin' it in dere paper. Casue we're gunna have our own paper."
"oh yeah!" Racetrack said, " I forgot about dat!" he ran over to tell the others Newsies on the table. " Wait, Jacky boy we ain't got dat kinda dough."
"Your forgettin' bout da printin' press under da distribution center." Jack said, " As far as I know Pulitzers son doesn' know about it and we can make da paper dere at night. Like say..a group of us take a shift a night and make da papes,den da rest of us distribute 'um."

Denton looked at the boys, "Really?"
David nodded. "Yeah. And if you're too busy, I was gonna write it. I haven't figured the whole thing out yet, but I got some ideas," David tapped his temple with his forefinger, knowingly.
Denton laughed, "Really? Well, I know that you've been wanting to be a writer, so I guess that this is your chance, huh?"
David nodded.
"What else have you boys got in mind," Denton asked, looking around the table.

"Well," Jack said, "We're trying' ta get as many big-shots and shop owners to back us in dis. Cause last time we really didn't have dat much in our fava." he paused and took a drink from his glass then continued, "An' we've, bein' Davey, Myself and Spot have gotten da Newsies ta talk to da store keepers and people like dat to see if dey'd back us an' talk to da big shots about it."
"Like I got da owner of Shepshead to back us!Cause his son is a newsie in Queens" Racetrack said, "And Right after I re-paid him dat five bucks I owed him.." he muttered.

"Why did you owe him five dollars, Race," David asked curious.
"So," said Denton, "You are really going to do it. Well, it looks like you have thought about just about everything! Are you guys going to have another rally?"

"Long story." Racetrack said,trying to get it off the subject.
"Dat's the one ting we gotta do, "Jack said, "I'm tinkin' of talking to Medda about dat when I get outta here. I'm sure she'd be up for it,since da bulls aren' on me case anymore."

"Yeah! I think that a rally was a great idea. Too bad last time the cops showed up," David said. David shoved Racetrack, laughing. "Come one, Race. What was it," he asked jokingly.
"Well, I'd be happy to help out in any way that I can," Denton said, laughing at Racetrack's discomfort.
"So, Jack," David said, "When do you want the article done for the pape?"

Racetrack mumbled something about the bathroom and slid down under the table and ran off towards it.
Jack laughed at Race and said to David, "Whenevea we have time Davey," he said, "We still gotta talk ta Medda."

"Oh, right. Medda." David gazed out the window, thinking about when he had met Medda. Jack shoved him, teasing. David blushed.
"Well, I guess that I'd better go and write that letter, don't you think," Denton asked as he stood. He walked over to a waiter and handed the man some money saying, "This should take care of it."
"I'll see you boys around, right? Remember, I'm staying at the hotel on 14th street. Room 17. If you need me, you come straight up, you hear," he said to Jack and David.
David nodded.
((Ok! I have to go soon too! bye!))

Jack nodded too, waving as Denton left. He looked up at the clock David hadn't seen in the resteraunt and said, "We need ta see Medda before nightfall. It's six so we got time."
Racetrack finally came out of the "bathroom" and sat back down, "So's, what now?" he said.
