Inspired by the strike put on by the trolley workers, Jack "Cowboy" Kelly (Christian Bale) organizes a newsboys' strike. With David Jacobs (David Moscow) as the brains of the new union, and Jack as the voice, the weak and oppressed found the strength to band together and challenge the powerful.

Racetrack: In 1899, the streets of New York City echoed with the voices of newsies, peddling the papers of Joseph Pulitzer, William Randalph Hearst, and other giants of the newspaper world. On every corner you saw them carrying the banner. Bringing you the news for a penny a pape. Poor orphans and runaways, the newsies were a ragged army without a leader, until one day all that changed.

David Jacobs: You're a liar! You lied about everything. You lied about your father being out west, 'cause he's not out west! You didn't even tell me your real name!::Jack Kelly: So? What you wanna do about it Dave?::David Jacobs: I don't understand you.::Jack Kelly: Oh, so let me spell it out for ya. You see, I ain't got nobody tucking me in at night, like you. It's just me, I gotta look out for myself, all right?::David Jacobs: You had the Newsies!::Jack Kelly: Oh, what'd being a Newsie ever give me but a dime a day and a few black eyes? You know, I can't afford to be a kid no more, Dave. For the first time in my life, I got money in my pockets. Real money. Money, you understand? I got more on the way and as soon as I collect, I'm gone, I'm away, all right?::David Jacobs: Well, that's good! That's good because we don't need you! We don't need you! All those words you said, those were mine.::Jack Kelly: Yeah, but you never had the guts to put them across yourself, did ya?::David Jacobs: I do now.

Jack Kelly: One thing's for sure, if we don't sell papes, then nobody sells papes. Nobody comes through those gates until they put the price back to where it was.::David Jacobs: You mean like a strike?::Jack Kelly: Yeah, like a strike!::David Jacobs: Are you out of your mind?::Jack Kelly: It's a good idea!::David Jacobs: Jack, I was only joking. We can't go on strike, we don't have a union.::Jack Kelly: But, if we go on strike, then we are a union, right?::David Jacobs: No! We're just a bunch of angry kids with no money.

Jack Kelly: Extry, extry, read all about it! Ellis Island in flames!::David Jacobs: Hey, where's that story?::Jack Kelly: Page nine. Thousands Flee in Panic!::David Jacobs: "Trash Fire Next To Immigration Building Terrifies Seagulls"?::Jack Kelly: Terrified Flight from Inferno!
