[Jack]
There's no way I am putting them kids back in danger
[Davey]
Tell me how quitting does crutchie any good
[Jack]
Dszahdh-
[Davey]
Exactly
So here's how it goes once we win
And we will be winning
Make no mistake
[Jack]
We'll be what?
[Davey]
We're already winning
[Jack]
Right
[Davey]
And we'll tell them straight out
They let crutchie go or they keep getting pounded
[Jack]
Dave, what the hell?
Did they bust up your brains or somethin'?
As I recall, dave, we all got our asses kicked
They won
[Davey]
Won the battle
[Jack
Oh come on
[Davey]
Jackie think about it, we got them surrounded
[Jack]
Here's where I think joe's a jerk
He's a rattle snake
[Davey]
You're right - and you know why a snake starts to rattle?
[Jack]
No, why?
[Davey]
Cause he's scared
[Jack]
Sure
[Davey]
Go and look it up
The poor guys head is spinning
Why would he send for the goons, an entire army?
Dozens of goons and the cops, and -
[Jack]
You know you may be right
[Davey]
Thank you, God!
[Jack]
If he wasn't afraid -
[Davey]
Exactly -
[Jack & davey]
He knows we're winning
[Jack, davey, katherine, & les]
Get those kids to see we're circling victory
And watch what happens
We're doing something no one's even tried
And, yes, we're terrified
But watch what happens
[Jack]
You can't undo the past
[Davey]
So just move on and
[Davey & katherine]
Stay on track
[Les]
(Stay on track!)
[Jack, davey, katheine & les]
'Cause humpty dumpty is about to crack
[Katherine]
We've got faith!
[Davey]
We've got the plan!
[Les]
And we've got jack!
[Jack, davey, katherine & les]
So just watch what happens
We're back!
[Les]
And I've got a date!
