Watch What Happens (Reprise)
[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
[DAVEY, KATHERINE, & LES]
Get those kids to see we're circling victory
And watch what happens
[JACK, DAVEY, KATHERINE, & LES]
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!
