Hou
Alice!
Thank God
I got your telegram and came as soon as I could
What's the emergency?
The first protest march ever held in our nation's capital today
Two months from today, so there's no time to waste
Welcome to our new office You remember the suffrage march planning committee?
Holy cow, how many in it?
Counting you?
Don't say two
Two
But Alice, we're not in college anymore
We've never planned a national action before
Nope
How will we do it when it's never been done?
How will we find the way where there isn't one?
How will we find a way?
Find a way
We've got to find a way
Find a way
First pursuit is to recruit Inez Millholland
The Inez Millholland?
The papers call her glamorous, dazzling, all the things I'm not
We need a public face It's gotta be Inez Millholland
I'm Alice Paul, and this is my best friend Lucy Burns
We were field hockey teammates at Swarthmore
Office defense?
Wow, okay Sporty
Why don't we have a smoke?
Oh yes, we adore cigarettes
It's really nice
We want you to be the grand marshal of our suffrage march
Miss Paul, I'm far too busy with the bar
She'd rather get licked than fight for our liberty
I'm studying for the bar exam
Oh, that's marvelous
We could use your legal skills to procure our permit
This march is unprecedented
How so?
It's on Pennsylvania Avenue, a day before the inauguration
We'll make every front page with a picture of you leading the pack on horseback
I should be riding
My steed should be white, a feminine reclaiming of the armored knight
Of course
Where the hell are we getting a horse?
How will we do it when it's never been done?
How will we find a way where there isn't one?
How will we find a way?
Find a way
We've got to find a way
Find a way
I want you to meet someone
A socialite, a socialist
Bruja Vin Slavska
Bruja Vin Slavska?
My fellow workers, we must strike
Came from Poland when she was seven
We must strike for safe conditions
In a mill since she was eleven
This is her fight too Not just us fortunate few
They'll listen to her
Strike!
Not to you
Strike! Strike! Strike!
That was a great speech
Bruja, this is Alice Paul from the suffrage movement
Suffrage is votes for women
I'm Polish, not stupid
Look, I've won no part of your polite little suffragette parlor games
Well, that's perfect because when we take on a tyrant, we burn him down
Or they march
How will we do it when it's never been done?
How will we find a way where there isn't one?
How will we find a way?
Find a way
We've got to find a way
Find a way
Get up on the soapbox
Stand there
