Tony enters his room, and knocks on the trap door. Alex? Alex? You there?

Tony (sees the Newsie running around, rapidly changing into Crazy Harry) What the...? I thought he was in the...Newsie? Newsie? (looks around) Huh. Probably went to have that bite looked at. Hey, I'll be right back! Gotta do something quick... Tony runs to his room.

Tony: Hey guys, Claudia invited us to go down to the common room. Kathy, Beth, Kate and their roomies are down there. Pizza! Wanna come with? Lefty (in his hammock, lovingly caressing his letter O) My precious...my precious... Tony: Uh...Lefty? Lefty (oblivious) My...

Tony reaches up, and hands Alex a few items. I picked these up this morning for you, sweetie. Here's a giant plush Hefty Smurf, holding a heart...got it? Okay, and here's a first edition of To Kill a Mockingbird...a copy of Hamlet...sorry, I couldn't find a first edition for this one...a...

Oh! (slaps forehead) Yeah...riiiiight...I mean, right, I remember that scene! I just didn't put two and two together. DUH! Newsie: Hey, thank you Alex, for The Maltese Falcon. It's one of my favorite movies, how did you know? I feel much better already! Lefty: Hey Alex...tanks fer da...

Tony is on phone. Tony: Hey, Prairie...Lefty? Yeah, he's here, hang on. (goes to Lefty on hammock) It's for you. It's a girl...(hands Lefty the phone, and winks)

The Newsman enters, dissheveled. His coat is torn, his glasses are broken and hanging on one of his ears, and he sports a black eye. Tony: So how'd it go? You have a good time? (takes in the Newsman's appearance) Oooh, you sly dog! (playfully punches him on the arm) Do tell! Newsman...

Hey Alex, I never thought of that, but ya know what? Who knows? The Newsman could very well be related to Ron Burgundy! I'll have to ask him when he gets back...if he gets back... Oh, and, er...why is Sweetums singing "Afternoon Delight"?

Tony: Hear that, Lefty? Ed just said Claudia is taken. Lefty: Yeah, I hoid it...(sniffles) Sorry, I...I got a cold... Lefty crawls into his hammock, his back to Tony. Tony: You okay? Lefty (softly sings to himself, as the hammock sways back and forth) How would ya like ta buy an O....

Lefty hurries in, slamming the door behind him. Lefty: Kid, kid, are ya busy? Tony: Well, actually I've been working on a play. I'm relaxing right now, reading this-- Lefty grabs Tony's book, and flings it across the room. Lefty: Ya just finished! Tony: Lefty, what in the name of...

Don't worry, Alex sweetie, I'll never stand you up!:) :flirt:

(looking up) Yeah, and Mildred takes punctuality very seriously! And from what I hear, she has a very vicious temper if someone stands her up, so...I think tonight the Newsman may be the subject of a news story rather than the anchor!

Awesome! Yeah, the Newsman's a bit tense. Tonight is his first date with Mildred, and he's a little on edge...she likes punctuality. In fact, she told him to meet her...(looks at watch) TWO HOURS AGO ? ! Uh-oh...I wonder how a journalist of his caliber could completely lose track of time...

(looking upward) Hey, Alex! Alex! It appears Uncle Deadly is offering his trap door again. What do you think? It would save us from having to go up and down on the elevator! I'm fine with it, if you are! And, by the way...the first chapter of your story was not boring at all! It was...

Tony is at his desk, pecking away at the typewriter. Newsman: So how's it coming? Tony (without stopping, and without looking at Newsman) Uh-huh... Newsman: Coming along? Coming along? Coming along? I bet it's really coming along! (pause) Hey, are they ever gonna fix our ceiling...

Hmmmm...Uncle Deadly has a wonderful idea... (looks up) Hey Alex, what do you think? Would you like a trap door installed? I mean, there already is quite a sizeable hole in my ceiling, anyway.

Tony: Yes, Claudia. I like doing stuff, too. Silence. Tony goes back to Lefty, who speaks to him confidentially. Lefty: What'd she say? Tony: Um, she likes doing stuff, too. Lefty: I knew it! (pause) Okay. Tony: Okay what? Lefty: Hang on, I'm tinkin'...uhhhh...oh! Ask her...

Er...sorry about that, Kathy! Lefty seems to have come equipped with his own theme music, and the backing track to "Would You Like to Buy an O."

Righto!;)
