"Is anyone else coming?" Davey asks

"I got no clue" Jack says.

"You seen Spot Conlon, right? What'd he say?" Race asks

"Sure we seen him" Daisy says

"Him and about 20 of his gang." Davey adds

"And them Brooklyn boys is big." Les says

"And I gotta say, Spot was very impressed, wasn't he?" Jack says

"I'd say." Daisy says

"So they're with us?" Race asks

"Well that all depends on how you look at it. If you look and see Brooklyn, then they're with us." Davey says

"They want proof that we're not gonna old at the first sign of trouble." Jack says

"Are we?" Finch asks.

"We are not! There's us, we got Harlem-" Jack says.

"Not so fast, boss. Harlem wants to know what Brooklyn's gonna do." Mush says.

"What about Queens?" Daisy asks.

"Hey, Queens'll be right here backing us up, as soon as they get the nod from Brooklyn." Specs says.

"I got the same fish eye in Midtown." Race says

"Oh, hey, Oscar! Looks like it was bum information we got about a strike happening here today. Not that I'm complaining, my skull busting arm could use a day of rest." Morris says as he unlocks the gate.

"Are we doin' the right thing?" Les asks

"Sure we are." Daisy says walking up to Les with Davey by her side.

"Maybe we just could put this off a couple of days." Race says.

"No, we can't just put this off..." Davey says

"Say Something Jack! Telll them if we back off now, They'll never listen to us again." Daisy says

"Hey, we can't back down now, alright, no matter who does or doesn't show. Like it or not, now is when we take a stand" Jack says.

"How's about we just not show up for work? That'll send the message." Finch says

"They'll just replace us!" Daisy says

"They need to see us stand our ground! Davey, you tell 'em..." Jack adds

"I don't know what to say." Davey says... Then he thinks of something

"Now is the time to seize the day stare down the odds and seize the day minute by minute that's how you win it we will find a way but let us seize the day" Davey sang.

"Hey, Jack, look what I made!" Crutchie says as he holds up his crutch to reveal a sign that said Strike. "STRIKEEEEE" he yells

"Thats great!" Daisy says

"That's pitiful" Race says to Davey.

"Don't be so quick to judge. Maybe Pulitzer will see it from out his window and feel sorry for us." Les says

"Hey, Specs, any sign of reinforcements?" Jack yells up at Specs. He shakes his head. "Davey, alright Davey"

"Courage cannot erase our fear, Courage is when we face our fear tell those with power safe in their tower, we will not obey!" Davey sings

"Behold the brave battalion that stands side by side" Davey and Jack sing, putting their arms around each other.

"Too few in number and too proud to hide then say to the others who did not follow through you're still our brothers, and we will fight for you" Daisy joins Jack and Davey, putting her arms around Jack.
