Act III
Scene III - In Central Park, enter Weasel and the Delancy brothers.
Morris Delancy: But who did bid thee join us?
Weasel: David
Oscar Delancy: He needs not our mistrust, since he delivers
Our offices and what we have to do
To the direction just.
Morris: Then stand with us.
The west yet glimmers with some streaks of day:
Now footsteps the lated traveller apace
To gain the timely house; and near approaches
The subject of our watch.
Weasel: Hark! I hear voices.
Blink: [Within] Give us some light!
Oscar: Then 'tis he: the rest
That are within the note of expectation
Already are i' the lodging house.
Weasel: Almost a mile: but he does usually,
So all newsies do, from hence to the door
Make it their walk.
Oscar: A light! A light!
Enter Blink and Snipeshooter
Weasel: 'Tis he.
Morris: Stand to't.
Blink: It will be rain to-night.
Morris: Let it come down.
They attack Blink
Blink: O, treachery! Fly, Snipeshooter, fly, fly, fly! Thou mayst revenge. O slave!
Morris pulls out his brass knuckles and kills Blink, Snipeshooter escapes
Weasel: Who did strike out the light?
Morris: Wast not the way?
Weasel: There's but one down; the other is fled.
Oscar: We have lost
Best half of our affair.
Morris: Well, let's away, and say how much is done.
