Because whether you want to admit it or not, you were curious what Hawkeye wrote to Race.
Newsie Notes
The Other Note; math
Racetrack is in bold.
Hawkeye is in italics.
Dear Race,
You're coming to the fair with me.
Love, Hawkeye
No, I'm not going with you. You're going with me.
Difference please?
I was going to ask you first.
Well, you kind of failed at that. So I asked you.
But I'm the guy! I have to ask you.
What is this, the nineteenth century? I'm allowed to ask!
But I was going to ask you first!
How do you know? Maybe I was planning on asking you since last year or something.
Were you?
No. So d'you want to drive or should I?
I'm not going with you!
Give me one good reason why not?
'Cause you were supposed to go with me!
I said GOOD reason. And what's the diff anyway?
I was going to ask you!
Yes, I got that the tenth time. What does it matter? Either way we'd still be going with each other!
It's not the same!
Yes. It. Is.
NOT TO ME!
You know what? Just FORGET IT.
NO!
Stop passing the note back! I said forget it!
And I said no!
And I'm not listening! La, la, la, la!
Hawkeye!
Stop it…
NO! YOU'RE GOING WITH ME WHETHER YOU WANT TO OR NOT!
FINE!
FINE!
So, if you didn't catch on--Hawkeye says "What is this, the nineteenth century?" And I felt witty because Newsies took place in the nineteenth century, so it was all "OOH, IRONY!" Oh, the wittiness of me! (Kind of.)
