1 It is not generally known that there are Atheist Societies using the schools of the country as their battle-ground - attacking, through the Youth of the Nation, the beliefs that are sacred to most of the people. [dissolve to:] 2 And no fanatics are so bitter as youthful fanatics. 3 "Call a meeting of the Godless Society tonight - same hour - same place!" 4 "This blasphemy is spreading through the school like a plague! It must be stopped!" 5 "I will address the Students at once!" 6 Judy, daughter of Atheism ... Bob, son of Gospel ... Intolerance versus Intolerance. 7 "All those who have copies of these blasphemous pamphlets, will bring them to me at once!" 8 "Are there any more?" 9 "Under the State Law, the student responsible for this outrage is liable to imprisonment!" 10 "As President of the student-body, I suggest you let us handle this our own way - and I guarantee it will be wiped out!" 11 "You may handle it your own way - but remember, no violence!" 12 A shabby hall, on a squalid street ... where little rebels blow spit-balls at the Rock of Ages. 13 "This is the Scientific Age - we don't need a God!" 14 "Come and get a pamphlet from 'Koko'! Don't high-hat him - he's your cousin!" 15 "Easy, fellers - those Godless babies are upstairs!" 16 "Handle these eggs gently - you may be old yourself some day!" 17 "Our new member, Mr. Bozo Johnson, will now take the oath!" 18 "Bozo, swear that you don't believe in the Bible - the Church - or God!" 19 "Does that cut out my Christmas holidays?" 20 "Well, if it isn't Angel!" 21 "You and your goofy gang beat it! We're going to wipe this place clean!" 22 "You've got just one minute to get out!" 23 "In just one minute I'm going to clunk you on the button!" 24 "If it's a fight you want - start it!" 25 "I'll teach you to tell my kid sister there isn't any God!" 26 "Well, Bible-Pounder, we're still with you!" 27 "I can get you out of this, Judy! All you got to do is go religious!" 28 "POLICE, quick! Riot-call!" 29 "You're going to need that rotten banner for bandages!" 30 "It's breaking - the rail's breaking!" 31 "Beat it - the cops!" 32 "That kid's dyin' - I'll get an ambulance!" 33 "Judy - tell me you're wrong - I don't want this to be the end! Tell me - there's something more!" 34 "Judy, this can't be the end! I'm scared - I'm scared to be all alone!" 35 "You ain't got no call to be scared, baby - where you're goin'! He's waitin' there to take you in His arms!" 36 "Judy - he's right! There is something more - I see it - I see ..." 37 "He pushed her over - I saw him!" 38 "You did this - you and your holy thugs - you killed her!" 39 "I'd advise you to shut up - as you'll both be held with manslaughter!" 40 The REFORMATORY..Bricks... Barbed-Wire...Iron... And rebellious Youth. 41 "Say, what's the big idea - I'm not a criminal!" 42 "No - but it won't be long now!" 43 "Just shape it a little at the nape of the neck - don't touch the front!" 44 "Save the gas, Sister - you got a big hill to climb!" 45 "New girls get their hair cut short - and every word you speak will add one day to your sentence!" 46 "Pipe down, Bimbo, you're just one of God's step-children in this joint!" 47 "Just a chip off the old block!" 48 "What does one do with these?" 49 "One parks the carcass in 'em, dearie! You ain't dressin' for tired business men!" 50 "Gimme them papers - the child is in London!" 51 "If you try a getaway - those cuts will leave tracks a blind man could see!" 52 "Them stripes are a target - so they can pot you if you escape!" 53 "Keep your pants on!" 54 "But they're all just alike!" 55 "I worked three years to get that!" 56 "3107!" 57 The muscles of an Ox... the brains of a Sheep... the mercy of a Hyena... the Head Guard. 58 Day in, day out...Week in, week out...GONGS to eat and gongs to drink...gongs to sleep and gongs to wake... 59 GONGS...crashing into her dreams of the Boy on the other side of the Iron Fence. 60 "That sour Matron ought to gargle this line about lovin' one another!" 61 "Let's cut the Bible stuff, Mame - it's just popular fiction!" 62 "You ain't so good, that readin' this won't make you better!" 63 "Bend for it, baby - or they'll pick you up in a dustpan!" 64 "I dropped it, Ma'am.. accidental!" 65 "No salvation-hunter can take my blame! I threw it there - on purpose!" 66 "So, you lied to protect another girl!" 67 "Now, both of you report to the Garbage Detail!" 68 "You almost make me believe this stuff works - when I see how white you are!" 69 "Wash - faces!" 70 "Wash - ears!" 71 "Who - did - that?" 72 "So you want to play with water! All right - I'll play with you!" 73 "Did I hear you say stop?" 74 "What you heard, is where you can go to!" 75 "Get out of here now - and report to the Garbage Detail!" 76 GARBAGE 77 "What a laugh! Your Belief and my Blasphemy, both ending in garbage!" 78 "Cover up, dearie - I've seen better heads on cabbages!" 79 "You got a snooty habit of steppin' on things over your head!" 80 "I'm the Mama that put the it in mitt!" 81 "Take that mitt home, Blondy - and keep it for a pet!" 82 "Nix - it might have mittens!" 83 "Don't be sore, Judy - I tried to railroad you to heaven, but I landed you in hell!" 84 "I'm not sore! That kid's been dying in my arms every night - I'm begin- ning to understand a lot of things!" 85 "From now on, Sheik, you can do your love-makin' on bread and water - in Solitary!" 86 "I'll get you out of this hell-hole, Judy - I'll get you out!" 87 "Say - prayers!" 88 "We ain't prayin' to God - we're prayin' to a gong!" 89 "Goodnight, Mame. The more I see of you - the less I like myself!" 90 Solitary - a black hole lined with stone and steel - to shut in Hate, and shut out Mercy. 91 "What have they done to Judy?" 92 "They've put her to work in the Girls' Meat House!" 93 "I'll learn you that bread and water - means bread and water!" 94 "Let him go, you big bum! He's only a kid!" 95 "I'll - be - back!" 96 "I'm back - and I'm comin' in for you!" 97 "Take this load of provisions to the Girls' Meat House. Here's your pass!" 98 The incidents of this story are true. These conditions actually exist in certain reformatories. There are many others, however, that are humane and progressive - thanks to those who are striving to help our Delinquent Youth to become good men and women. 99 "I'm just puttin' on a little dog!" 100 "We're going to escape!" 101 "Are we? Ain't that grand!" 102 "Get Judy..and keep the Matron busy while we duck!" 103 "Judy?...Oh, you mean Judy!" 104 "Snap out of it, Romeo - I'm waitin' for a hog!" 105 "You'll crab the act! Wait till I do my stuff - then blow!" 106 "Gimme that crate of hen-fruit - and watch me lay an omelette!" 107 "So long, babies - don't look backward!" 108 "You'll pay for this!" 109 "The dirty skunk crashed out! He's dog-bait now! Let's go!" 110 "He breezed - in the boloney bus!" 111 "They're after us!" 112 "Grab some grub and step!" 113 "Let's take to the water - and lose the dogs!" 114 Night...a deserted Farm... and Sanctuary. 115 "I've tried - so hard - to hate you!" 116 "And I've tried - so hard - not to love you!" 117 "We'll follow along the bank, and pick up the trail where they come out!" 118 New day...new hope... 119 "When you look at all this - it's easy to believe Someone is running things!" 120 "I'll show you what that joint has made me believe in!" 121 "Your figures add up wrong, Bob - let's try mine!" 122 "Here's where they left the river - it won't be long now!" 123 "I love you, Judy! Let's live today...it's all we're sure of!" 124 "I'm sure of a Tomorrow, Bob, and it depends on Today! Don't let's spoil it...I love you!" 125 "Where's the girl?" 126 "Flop him up against the wall - and I'll give him what's comin' to him!" 127 "They can't hurt us now, Bob! We've found what they can never take away!" 128 "When you get out of that bracelet - you'll be thin enough to dive through it!" 129 "That black cat ain't goin' to hoodoo me!" 130 Red Judgment 131 "Let 'er sizzle, Sisters! It's a red-hot chance for a getaway!" 132 "Block that door so's to give the fire a chance! Turn off the water - and beat it down the back way!" 133 "Judy!" 134 "Whoopee! Get out your asbestos union-suits!" 135 "I thought I was the whole thing - but now I'm up against it - and I need You!" 136 "Fire on the girls' side!" 137 "Keep the gates locked - and the boys on their own side!" 138 "Judy! Judy! They've forgotten you!" 139 "So long, Mame! Beat it, and save yourself!" 140 "Hang on, kid! I'll be back with those keys - or melt comin'!" 141 "Do you see Judy anywhere?" 142 "Quick - another hose - down by the cells!" 143 "Gimme your keys - Judy's in Solitary!" 144 "Mame's got the keys! Let's grab 'em and crash out!" 145 "Stick the blonde Sardine behind the gate!" 146 "Judy's sunk if you don't get to her! Climb the wall - then down to the cells!" 147 "Keep hold of me - don't let me be afraid!" 148 "Oh, Lord - we're dependin' on You!" 149 "Come back - don't leave me!" 150 "We've got to get Judy - she's in Solitary!" 151 "You dirty rat - she'll burn alive!" 152 "God - don't let him go through that gate! Don't let him leave Judy!" 153 "It's got me - it's got me!" 154 "Don't touch him, Bob - it'll kill you!" 155 "The switch - quick! I'm dying!" 156 "Save me, kids - don't let me burn!" 157 "Don't judge him, Bob - save him!" 158 "Come on, we'll get 'em - or roast!" 159 "The Inspector's here - get him - I'm done for!" 160 "This bunch risked their lives to get me out - I recommend - release!" 161 "Come with us, Mame - let's go on together!" 162 "Nothin' doin' - three ain't a couple - it's a calamity!" 163 "Don't be so bitter, Bob! after all, it did teach us to believe - and let believe!"
