[00:01.241]PULITZER: Gentlemen, we need to sell more papers.
[00:05.898]There's an answer right before your eyes, but you're just not thinking this through
[00:11.679]Nunzio knows,
[00:13.481]when he's cutting my hair
[00:15.300]Trim a bit here
[00:16.896]And then trim a bit there
[00:18.979]Just a modest adjustment
[00:20.558]Can fatten the bottom line
[00:23.956]BUNSEN: What if we cut back personnel?
[00:26.293]SEITZ: How about a few salary trims?
[00:28.398]BUNSEN: We could lower the price of the paper
[00:29.959]PULITZER: Bankrupting me even faster! Let me try again
[00:36.778]Shaving is tricky
[00:38.610]The razor should float
[00:40.434]Shave me too close
[00:41.992]And you may slit my throat
[00:44.083]Its the simplest solutions that bolster the bottom line
[00:49.070]BUNSEN: I've got it! If we charge the newsies sixty cents per hundred instead of fifty-
[00:54.036]SEITZ: They'd have to sell ten more papers just to earn the same amount as always
[00:57.180]PULITZER: My thought exactly. It's genius
[01:01.118]HANNAH: It's gonna be awfully rough on those children
[01:03.478]PULITZER: They'll be learning a real life lesson in economics.
[01:06.886]I couldn't offer them a better education if they were my own
[01:12.129]Give me a week and I'll train them to be
[01:15.571]Like an army that's marching to war
[01:19.224]Proud of themselves and so grateful to me
[01:22.874]They'll be begging to pay even more!
[01:25.993]When there's dirt on our shoes, boys
[01:28.050]For God's sake, relax!
[01:29.608]Why throw them out?
[01:31.158]All we need is some wax
[01:32.987]Listen well to these barbershop lessons
[01:35.860]For they'll see you through
[01:39.793]EMPLOYEES: When you're stuck in the muck you'll be fine
[01:43.356]You'll erase any trace of decline
[01:46.741]SEITZ: With a trim
[01:47.768]HANNAH: And a snip
[01:48.552]BUNSEN: And a shine!
[01:49.855]PULITZER: And the power of the press
[01:51.426]Yes! Once again is mine!
[01:57.478]The price for the newsies goes up in the morning!
[02:00.343]Just a few common cents
[02:02.179]Gents, that's the bottom line!
[02:05.316]EMPLOYEES: Every new outcome is income for you
[02:09.535]Thanks to that bottom line!
