How will we do it, when it's never been done?
How will we find a way, where there isn't one?
So what just happened?!
Did Carrie kick you out or did you quit?!
As in kick us out of NAWSA altogether?! (Yes)
How will we afford our travel?
How will we raise any money?
Have you even thought of money?
How will we...
We can do it!
How will we do it when it's never been done?
I want us to meet someone
A socialist?
A socialite
Alva Belmont
(Alva Belmont)
I divorced my husband for philandering
Now I've got his millions for philanthropy
(You really think she'll give her money to a radical squad?)
Every worthy cause needs a rich, old broad
(Alva Belmont)
I'm Alice Paul
Oh I know who you are, doll
We're starting a woman's political party
(Inez/Lucy/Ruza/Doris: What?/Sure/We are?/Yay!)
And we'd love for you to join it
You mean you'd love for me to fund it
Oh, that would be great
Let me get this straight
You gals just stood in front of the suffrage establishment
And the national press, no less
And declared political warfare on Wilson and his party
While the country's on the brink of war itself
And now you shamelessly demand my riches of me
For this risky rebel coup?
The nerve of you...
I love it!
To whom do I make out the check?
The Woman's Party
Should be the National Woman's Party
Gives it more oomph
Woman's Party is sharper
Is this enough to cover your plans?
National Woman's Party it is
Now wait a tick!
You capitalist elite merely want to exploit the working class to promote your own dominance
Ooh, I like you
You really put the 'rage' in suffrage
What's your name, darling?
Ruza
Rosie, be a good little socialist and socialize
That's not what that means
'Cause I've got a surprise
Close your eyes
Rosie
Close your eyes
Open sesame!
Welcome to your new NWP headquarters
Right across the street from the White House
(Alice/Inez/Lucy/Doris: What?!/It's huge!/Holy mackerel!/This is all for us?)
(Ruza: Now I'm on board)
Now go head out west on a radical spree!
(How can we ever thank you?)
Someday you'll name it after me
