Ally Bonino - Find A Way Lyrics

[ALICE, spoken]
Oh

[LUCY, spoken]
Alice?

[ALICE, spoken]
Lucy, thank God

[LUCY]
I got your telegram and came as soon as I could

[LUCY, spoken]
What's the emergency?

[ALICE]
The first protest march ever held in our nation's capital

[LUCY, spoken]
Today?

[ALICE]
Two months from today
So there's no time to waste
Welcome to our new office
[LUCY]
Ah

[ALICE]
You're a member of the Suffrage March Planning Committee

[LUCY, spoken]
Holy cow! How many in it?

[ALICE, spoken]
Counting you?

[LUCY, spoken]
Don't say two

[ALICE, spoken]
Two

[LUCY]
But Alice, we're not in college anymore
We've never planned a national action before

[ALICE, spoken]
Nope

[ALICE]
How will we do it when it's never been done?
How will we find a way where there isn't one?
[ALICE & LUCY]
How will we find a way
Find a way
We've got to find a way
Find a way

[ALICE]
First pursuit is to recruit
Inez Milholland

[LUCY]
The Inez Milholland?

[ALICE]
The papers call her glamorous

[ALICE & LUCY]
Dazzling

[ALICE]
All the things I'm not
We need a public face

[ALICE & LUCY]
It's gotta be Inez Milholland
[ALICE, spoken]
I'm Alice Paul and this is my best friend Lucy Burns

[LUCY, spoken]
We were field hockey teammates at Swarthmore

[ALICE, spoken]
Offense!

[LUCY, spoken]
Defense!

[INEZ, spoken]
Wow, okay, sporty
Why don't we have a smoke?

[ALICE, spoken]
Oh yes, we adore cigarettes

[LUCY, spoken]
*Cough* It's really nice

[ALICE]
We want you to be the grand marshal of our suffrage march

[INEZ]
Miss Paul, I'm far too busy with the bar

[ALICE]
She'd rather get liquored than fight our liberty?

[INEZ, spoken]
I'm studying for the bar exam

[ALICE, spoken]
Oh, that's marvelous
We could use your legal skills to procure our permit
This march is unprecedented

[INEZ]
How so?

[ALICE, spoken]
It's on Pennsylvania Avenue

[INEZ, spoken]
Oh

[ALICE]
The day before the inauguration

[INEZ, spoken]
Ooh

[ALICE]
We'll make every front page with a picture of you leading the pack

[INEZ]
On horseback

[ALICE & LUCY]
What?

[INEZ]
I should be riding
My steed should be white
A feminine reclaiming of the armored knight

[ALICE]
Of course

[LUCY, spoken]
Where the hell are we getting a horse?

[ALICE & LUCY]
How will we do it when it's never been done?
How will we find a way where there isn't one?

[ALICE, LUCY & INEZ]
How will we find a way?
Find a way
We’ve got to find a way
Find a way

[INEZ]
I want you to meet someone

[LUCY]
A socialite?

[INEZ]
A socialist
Ruza Wenclawska

[ALICE & LUCY]
Ruza Wenclawska

[RUZA]
My fellow workers
We must strike!

[INEZ]
Came from Poland when she was seven

[RUZA]
We must strike for safe conditions

[INEZ]
Worked in a mill since she was eleven
This is her fight, too
Not just us fortunate few
They'll listen to her

[RUZA]
Strike!

[INEZ]
Not to you

[RUZA]
Strike! Strike! Strike!

[ALICE, spoken]
That was a great speech

[INEZ, spoken]
Ruza, this is Alice Paul from the suffrage movement

[LUCY, spoken]
Suffrage is votes for women

[RUZA, spoken]
I’m Polish, not stupid
Look, I want no part of your polite little suffragette parlor games

[ALICE, spoken]
Well, that's perfect
Because when we take on a tyrant
We burn him down

[RUZA, spoken]
So how do we afford a march?

[ALICE, INEZ, LUCY & RUZA]
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

[ALICE, spoken]
Get up on this soapbox

[INEZ, spoken]
Ooh

[ALICE, spoken]
Stand there

[RUZA, spoken]
But no one's here

[ALICE]
Gotta start somewhere

[INEZ]
Women of the country
How long must women wait for liberty?
How long—

[ENSEMBLE]
How long must we wait?

[INEZ]
—Must we wait?

[ENSEMBLE]
Must we wait?

[RUZA]
Must we wait?

[ENSEMBLE]
Must we wait?

[INEZ, spoken]
Join us in a march
On March 3rd

[RUZA, spoken]
Give some money

[ALICE, spoken]
Spread the word

[RUZA, spoken]
Give more money!

[INEZ]
Make your voice heard

[ALICE, INEZ, LUCY & RUZA]
How will we do it when it's never been done?
(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? (How will we find a way?)
We've got to find a way
Find a way

[DORIS, spoken]
March for our liberty!

[ALICE, spoken]
Lucy, who is she?

[LUCY, spoken]
Doris Stevens

[DORIS, spoken]
A student from Nebraska

[LUCY, spoken]
She just showed up

[DORIS]
When I heard about your march
I hopped on the next train
I want to help!
Whatever I can do

[DORIS, spoken]
I wrote up these leaflets, too

[ALICE, spoken]
So you're a writer

[DORIS, spoken]
Yes sir—ma'am!

[DORIS]
Yes, I am

[ALICE]
Congratulations on your new job

[DORIS, spoken]
What?

[ALICE, spoken]
You're our secretary now
Keep a record

[DORIS, spoken]
February 1st
Doris Stevens named Secretary!

[ALICE, INEZ, LUCY, RUZA & DORIS]
How will we do it when it's never been done?
How will we find a way where there isn't one?

[DORIS, spoken]
February 2nd
A meeting with Officer Sylvester

[MAJOR SYLVESTER, spoken]
It’s Major Sylvester

[ALICE, spoken]
Major, we need a permit for a protest on the third of March

[MAJOR SYLVESTER, spoken]
I don't have cops to spare for a ladies' parade

[INEZ]
I would just hate for my father to hear you
Deny me my constitutional right

[MAJOR SYLVESTER, spoken]
Father?

[INEZ]
Senator Dwight
Chair of the Law Enforcement Treasury
You know?
The man who signs your paycheck

[MAJOR SYLVESTER, spoken]
You can have your doggone permit
Now get the heck out of my sight

[INEZ, spoken]
Thank you, Officer

[MAJOR SYLVESTER, spoken]
Major!

[ALICE, spoken]
Is he really your father?

[INEZ]
I used to date his son

[ALICE, INEZ, LUCY, RUZA & DORIS]
How will we do it when it's never been done?
How will we find a way where there isn't one?

[DORIS, spoken]
One week to go

[ALICE, spoken]
Numbers?

[DORIS, spoken]
Twenty-six floats
Nine brigades

[DORIS]
A delegation from all forty-eight states

[ALICE]
Two hundred marshals

[RUZA]
Ten marching bands

[DORIS]
Representatives from?

[ALICE]
Thirty

[DORIS]
Thirty universities

[INEZ]
Contingents from fifteen professions

[ALICE, spoken]
Oh, and the dancers for the pageant

[DORIS]
So we're at one

[DORIS, spoken]
Wait, no, two

[DORIS]
With the crowd depending

[DORIS, spoken]
Two hundred thousand people attending

[INEZ, spoken]
We're gonna need more pinwheels

[All simultaneously]
[LUCY]
Should we all spread out or stick together?
If Inez is up in front, should I be in the middle?
Alice, are you marching with your college?
I don't have a cap and gown

[INEZ]
Did someone remember to get carrots for the horses?
Am I starting off the singing or do I wait for the bugles?

[DORIS]
Where will we be able to go to the bathroom?
What happens if it starts to rain?

[RUZA]
What if it's too crowded on the street
To even move an inch or let alone to march?

[ALICE]
We can do it!

[ALICE, INEZ, LUCY, RUZA & DORIS]
How will we do it when it's never been done?
How will find a way where there isn't one?

[DORIS, spoken]
Miss Paul

[DORIS]
Ida B. Wells wrote to say she plans to march

[LUCY, spoken]
Ida B. who?

[INEZ, ALICE, DORIS & RUZA]
Ida B. Wells

[INEZ]
She's a famous journalist

[DORIS, spoken]
But—

[ALICE, spoken]
What?

[DORIS, spoken]
Well, we've received letters from several Southern donors
Threatening to pull out if colored women participate

[ALICE, spoken]
But we've already said they're welcome to participate

[DORIS, spoken]
One proposes we tactfully ask colored women to withdraw

[INEZ, spoken]
Tactfully

[DORIS, spoken]
Others say they must march in back

[ALICE, spoken]
Let's make a special colored delegation at the back of the line
No one pulls out

[ALICE]
It'll all be fine

[RUZA]
I'm an immigrant so should I march in back, too?

[ALICE, INEZ, LUCY, RUZA & DORIS]
How will we find a way? (How will we find a way?)
Find a way
We've got to find a way, find a way

[IDA]
So you're this Alice Paul
I've been hearing so much about

[ALICE, spoken]
Mrs. Wells

[IDA, spoken]
Well, you've got quite the team

[ALICE, spoken]
Yes!

[INEZ]
We haven't slept in weeks

[IDA]
Please, I have four children
I haven't slept in years

[ALICE, spoken]
We're glad you're here for the march

[IDA, spoken]
I’m not only here for the march

[IDA]
My club has also come to agitate for laws against lynching
My people cannot vote
If they are hanging from trees

[ALICE, INEZ, LUCY & DORIS, spoken]
We support you

[RUZA, spoken]
Yes!

[IDA, spoken]
Why have I been told to march in back?

[ALICE, spoken]
All due respect, but we don't have a choice

[ALICE]
Without the Southern women's support
There might be no march

[LUCY]
We refuse to be exclusive
So we've made a place for you in back

[INEZ]
We're concerned for your safety should there be an attack

[DORIS]
Mary Church Terrell might agree to it, so—

[IDA]
Oh, the one other Black suffragist whose name you know?

[ALICE]
You are a brilliant agitator, Ida
Thousand of Suffs are arriving in town right now
Should we cancel the endeavor?

[IDA]
So I’m the one wrecking the endeavor?

[LUCY, spoken]
No

[INEZ, spoken]
Ida, how about—

[ALICE]
I think we all must do whatever it takes
For the march to go on
Even if that means waiting your turn
