(ALL are standing in a circle, facing out, arms linked)
ALL (V.O.): We are the newsies. We are the last. We are the end of a time. (Camera pans to JAKE)
JAKE (V.O.): I had a mother and a father. (Fade to scene of YOUNG JAKE and MOTHER, running in a park or yard) Where are they now? Where are they? (Shot of YOUNG JAKE sleeping on a fire escape) They left me on my own. But not on my own. (Shot of ITEY seeing JAKE sleeping on the ground, offering him a hand) (Camera pans to SNODDY)
SNODDY (V.O.): We are not alone (Shot of SNODDY and PIE EATER, sitting on a roof, backs to the camera) We will never be alone. (Fades to the same scene, without PIE EATER)
PIE EATER (V.O.): Never aloneā¦
SNITCH (V.O.): We fought together (Shot of SNITCH shielding SPECS from an unseen attacker)
BUMLETS (V.O.): We fell together (Shot of BUMLETS catching SKITTERY as he collapses, face bloody)
DUTCHY (V.O.): We struggled together (Shot of DUTCHY and FLIPS screaming headlines in a blizzard)
ITEY (V.O.): We cried together (Shot of ITEY and SNITCH turning away from something unseen on the ground, crying)
SKITTERY (V.O.): Everything was together. Everything is together.
FLIPS (V.O.): Together we lived. Together we are remembered.
SPECS (V.O.): Together we will be forgotten. (Shot of SWIFTY, who suddenly stumbles and falls, breaking the circle, which collapses. Fades to same scene without newsies, with a single newspaper lying on the ground. Zoom in on newspaper. As we get close enough to read, it begins to rain and the ink runs. Fade to black.)
