At the distribution center all of the newsies were waiting in line to get their papers. "Cowboy!" Mr. Wiesel the short, plump distribution centers manager, exclaimed to Jack. "How ya doin' Weasel?" Jack replied. Mr. Weisel let out a loud sigh. (* If you don't know what I'm talking about here don't ask. You need to watch the movie more*)
They all laughed. "Hey Weasel, I wanna introduce ya ta our new boy. This is Anne..." Jack said, accidentally saying her real name. Mr. Weasel began to snicker.
"What's so funny Weasel?" Pie glared. He just continued to laugh as he yelled, "Hey Delancys' get ova' here," towards the back of the office.
Two large built, very dumb looking blokes pranced over to the window." "Guess what I jist heard Oscar," he said, referring to the oldest of the two. "What" he answered gruffly.
"Well, Cowboy jist introduced me ta their new boy...Anne." he pointed to Anne and began to once again roar with laughter.
Both Oscar and the younger one, Morris, quickly turned to look at this so-called Anne guy. Morris burst out laughing, but Oscar just began to stair.
"Hey...hey" Oscar said, trying to get Morris's attention. Morris was sprawling on the floor with laughter. "Get up ya big dumb ass!" Oscar roared. Morris quickly fumbled to get off the floor.
"Hey" Oscar said, once again trying to get his attention. "What?" Morris replied, still overcome
with giggles. He pulled Morris close to whisper, "Dere ain't somethin' right about dis Anne fellow."
The four newsies on the other side of the window were scowling at that point and the only thing that was preventing them all from tearing the Delancys' apart was the bars that stood between them.
"Ask for your papes Anne" Mush said through gritted teeth. "Thirty papes please" she whispered with a small smile. Weasel took her fifteen cents and handed over the papes.
Before she could take them from the window sill Oscar grabbed her delicate wrist. "Wait a second...You ain't no boy....she's a goyle," he whaled.
Anne then turned to give a pleading look at the boys behind her. Mush and Blink both lunged at Oscar's arms that still had a tight grasp on her wrist. They broke her free and held on to Oscar so he could not go after her. Pieboy reached around Anne's waist and slung her over his shoulder.
"Go after her stupid!" Oscar yelled at Morris as he struggled to get free. Pie rushed out into the crowded streets and was off down a darkened alleyway before Morris had even gotten out of the building.
Inside of the office Mr. Weisel grabbed a lamp and broke it over Mush and Blink's arms to break Oscar free. They both yelled in pain as the glass shattered on their arms. They quickly ran off into the street with Oscar following close behind.
