Tony is on his bed, reading. Newsie is frantically clacking away on a news story. Crazy Harry has a stick of dynamite in his mouth for some reason, but thankfully, it's not lit.
From out of nowhere, pop music springs up. Lefty begins dancing and swaying in time to the music, trying to get Tony's attention.
Lefty (sings)
Big goils don't cry!
Big goils don't cry!
Biiiiiiiiig goils....
Do-hon't cry-yi-yi!
Dey don't cry!
Biiiiiiig goils...
Dey don't cry!
(after a beat)
Tony: No.
Lefty: SHHHHHHHHHH! I haven't finished!
Tony: For the last time, I'm not writing a musical!
Lefty: Riiiiiiiight! I getcha. But I figured ya script could use a little number here and dere.
Tony: Have you been reading my play?
Lefty: Naw, naw...well...I took a little peeksie...
Tony: Lefty! I didn't say you could read it!
Lefty: Ya didn't say I couldn't read it!
Newsman: Hey, can you two keep it down? I'm working on a story about something known as the Gingerbread Man Flu. It seems people who come down with the flu actually turn into gingerbread men! (does a double-take) What? I've been working all morning on this? (yanks paper out of typewriter, and crumples it up; he tosses the wad of paper, which hits Lefty) And to think...I could have been covering that story on the squirrel that bears a striking resemblance to Bozo the Clown...
