Okay I love Spot, but he’s such a little gremlin, I can’t imagine he’s actually good at selling papers! But he MUST be good because he’s the leader.

ain’t you glad nobody’s waiting up for you?

shot through the heart, man

when i dream on my own, i’m alone but i ain’t lonely. for a dreamer nights the only time of day.

beautiful, for one

and then, like,,, he’s always been on his own (the way he sees it) so of course, he’s not lonely

except for maybe deep down

*dance break*

jack,,, why????

the flOOR SEQUENCE

santa fe, are you there?

he’s asking if it’s actually real and i just —

do you swear you won’t forget me?

tbh,,, the way that i see jack, he feels like no one really cares about him or is there.

so this is kind of an identity thing. like, santa fe is the only one he’s spilled his heart out to. it’s the only thing he has left.

so that’s what they call a family. ain’t you glad you ain’t that way?

i see this as jack kind of being in denial

because from the rest of the song, he obviously wants a family, that’s why he keeps trying to make sure that santa fe is real and is there

it’s his own family, in a way

oOF

Spot: Convicted?

Denton: Yes.

Race: No.

David: Don’t you mean tricks?

Race: He does not.

Racetrack Higgins was an obedient young man. He did what he was told, when he was told, every time, without fail.

Not because he wanted to.

Because some idiot of a fairy godmother had “blessed” him with the ever so amazing gift of being perfectly obedient all the time.

Race: Oh hey, look at that!

Jack: …

Jack: What?

“On the grounds of Brooklyn your honor.”
