The Bottom Line
Newsies-Original Broadway Cast

PULITZER

Gentlemen, we need to sell more papers. There's an answer right before your eyes, but you're just not thinking this through.

Nunzio knows, when

He's cutting my hair,

Trim a bit here and then

Trim a bit there.

Just a modest adjustment

Can fatten the bottom line.

BUNSEN

What if we cut back personnel?

SEITZ

How about a few salary trims?

BUNSEN

We could lower the price of the paper.

PULITZER

Bankrupting me even faster! Let me try again

Shaving is tricky: The razor

Should float

Shave me too close and you

May slit my throat.

Its the simplest solutions

That bolster the bottom line

BUNSEN

Ive got it! If we charge the Newsies sixty cents per hundred instead of fifty

SEITZ

Theyd have to sell ten more papers just to earn the same amount as always.

PULITZER

My thought exactly. Its genius.

HANNAH

Its gonna be awfully rough on those children.

PULITZER

Theyll be learning a real life lesson in economics. I couldnt offer them a better education if they were my own.

Give me a week and

Ill train them to be

Like an army thats

Marching to war.

Proud of themselves and so

Grateful to me,

Theyll be begging to pay even more!

When theres dirt

On our shoes, boys,

For Gods sake, relax!

Why throw them out?

All we need is some wax

Listen well to these barbershop lessons,

For theyll see you through.

EMPLOYEES

When youre stuck in the muck youll be fine.

Youll erase any trace of decline.

SEITZ

With a trim

HANNAH

And a snip

BUNSEN

And a shine!

PULITZER

And the powr of the press,

Yes! Once again is mine!

The price for the Newsies goes up in the morning!

Just a few common cents,

Gents, thats the bottom line!

EMPLOYEES

Every new outcome

Its income for you,

Thanks to that bottom line!
