PULITZER
(looking up from a report)
The World is in trouble. Our circulation is down for the third quarter in a row.
BUNSEN
We could use an exciting headline, Mr. Pulitzer.
PULITZER
What have we got today?
SEITZ
The trolley strike.
PULITZER
That's not exciting? It's epic!
HANNAH
It's boring. Folks just wanna know, "Is the trolley comin' or ain't it?"
SEITZ
Big photos attract readers, sir.
PULITZER
Do you know what big photos cost?
BUNSEN
But without flashy photos or headlines, how are we supposed to sell more papers?
HANNAH
We don't sell papers - newsies sell papers.
BUNSEN
That's ridiculous.
PULITZER
We don't sell papers, newsies sell papers!
BUNSEN
That's brilliant!
HANNAH
Thank you.
