 Jerry of the circus, well, I've got to say that man Nemo is the most dangerous lion I've got out of my way folks. I'm going open that door any of you folks seem Jason around here He's not hurt Bradley. Oh, thank heaven. Oh, so there you are Listen young man. I'd thank you to keep your toothless old lions out of my wagon. What? Toothless. Oh Where is he? Why it's an imposition. That's what it is the idea of letting those old cats around loose might scare someone to death You might but but mr. Bradley, you know, but young man. Just keep those manger more feet and lions out of my way There he is again now here was I reading summer Shakespeare's finest sonnet and that cowardly lion leaped into my wagon So startling me that I reached for my shoe and gave him a well-deserved cuff on the ear I'm herring things. It can't be true. Well, where is he now mr. Bradley crouching back of my trunk for yellow liver to jungle cat Why I was to overcome with anger and being disturbed did I fear I lost control of myself and threw everything at him that I could lay My hands on well, if you'll get out of the doorway, mr. Bradley, we'll get him into his cage now It was preposterous to let him out in the first place. Yes, of course now if you'll just get out of the way Men move that cage close to the openings and take no chance this time. You understand. Yes, sir Of all the crazy things I ever heard of one of one of you hand me that long pole I'll poke him out of from behind that truck I must say I see no reason for not going in and taking him out by his ear But mr. Bradley, that's Nemo. There's no difference to me what his name is. He disturbed my rest and I'm very annoyed But Nemo is Jason's most dangerous cat. Stop it nonsense, but he is really mr. Bradley Dangerous? Middlesticks? Why he's a great big hulking coward. Well, that's right boys. Stand by Nemo get out of there. Nemo, scat, beat it Oh good there he goes watch out there. Oh right into the wagon. Oh, that's well At last I'm glad that's over with push that wagon on back where it belongs over there in a minute I want to talk to Johnny. He was Jason. I bet you're sure glad to have that lion all safe and sound. Oh, you bet I am. Oh Johnny, I'm terribly sorry that line upset you Well, just so it doesn't happen again Well, you don't think I'd let a thing like that happen if I could help it. Do you well I always liked you Jason and I must admit it seemed kind of careless careless You don't seem to realize that Nemo is my most vicious cat and Jerry's been trying to tell me some such foolishness Oh, it's no foolishness that cat is the most treacherous one. I've got well It would seem to me that that would be all the better reason not to let him around loose Of course, I must admit them all to somewhat out of my line Johnny You certainly take the cake Jason. Why didn't Nemo hurt mr. Bradley? Well because he was too scared, but you just said Gee Jason that that doesn't make sense. I'm just getting you all balled up. I guess I'm not very good at explaining now Look, it's like this now. You weren't scared. Were you Johnny? No, I was too mad to think of being scared Well, not if Johnny had been scared Neal would have sensed it the moment he had got inside that door Well, you know that animals can always sense when you're scared, don't you? Yeah, I know that well He was plenty scared what with all the yelling we were doing and trying to catch him and then rags barking like mad Yeah, I guess he was too scared to think when he lets a little pup chase him across a lot what Do you mean to say that young animal of yours chased that big lion right into your wagon didn't you right? You're the fellow who's to blame for putting me to all this trouble He certainly is in all the years. I've trained animals. That's the craziest sight I've ever seen Go on with what you're gonna say. Well if Johnny had been scared Nemo would have leaped on to him and hurt him Boy, oh boy, but instead Johnny jumped at him and threw things at him and well you see what happened Carly that's your something and a pretty lucky something for me You don't know how lucky listen Johnny when you came out of there and began balling us out about that toothless old lion I could hardly talk I expected that cat to jump out at you any minute Yeah, he stood there in the open doorway just talking a long time. Didn't he I'll say he did I admit I was scared stiff for you. Well, it's all over with now and I apologize if I was a bit tested Jason Yes, the cage is back where it belongs. Oh, thanks bike. I'll be over there in a minute And who is spiked one of the new stakers? Yeah, I got a missed job. You got him a job Sure that day Zeke jumped the show Murray need another man. So I found well good for you I guess I'd better get back to Nemo and see if he's quieted down yet I'll see y'all later better be sure those cages are checked over so nothing like that will happen again Oh, you can bet I'll be sure. Well, so long. See you later Jason. Oh spy Something wrong. No, I just wondered how Nemo seemed after all excitement. Were you heading someplace special? No I just thought I'd drop by and see if Murray needs any help. Yes, there'd be plenty of cleaning up to do Yeah, Nemo sure cause an awful rumpus. Oh say you you don't know mr. Bradley I know you mr. Bradley, but I guess you don't know me. I'm glad to meet your spike I'm indebted to you for finishing up what I started with Nemo say you didn't tell me how Nemo is now It's all over. He's kind of tuckered out. I should say he's crouched way back in the corner of his cage He's just sort of staring wide. I'd like guess you and rags scared the stuffing out of him mr. Bradley Well, I better get going You should have heard Clara signing off over there in the wardrobe top. Well spike glad to met you think you'll stay with us Jerry here was telling me you're new on the job. Yeah, I am Sure, hope I stay won't be my fault if I don't mr. Randall's a mighty fine man to work for spike And if you treat him right he'll always treat you right. Well, I'm satisfied say you're beginning to look better already spike Oh, how do you mean Jerry? Oh, I don't know you look kind of pale when you first came well spike working out of doors soon Puts color into your skin. Yeah, I guess it does say why don't you take your cap off while you're working? You'd get lots more sun that way. Oh, I don't know. I guess I'm just used to working a cap But you wear it so far down over your left ear and and it covers your head all up. Yeah Well, I couldn't work without it. I'm afraid Jerry. So you're a creature of habit to my man. Yeah, I guess I am Well, sorry, I gotta get to work. I'll be seeing you. Yeah, bye. Bye until we meet again spike. He's nice I kind of like him. Yes Yes, of course. What's matter something wrong? What no, no, no, I was just thinking It was a funny thing. There's something vaguely familiar about that young man's confidence But somehow it keeps escaping me Yeah, people are always reminding me of someone I know too. Yeah, but that young man Funny, I can't just place him. Well, you couldn't have seen him before because he just joined the show Well, it'll come to me. I never forget a face. I Tell you my boy is a younger man. I had a phenomenal memory. Yeah, you must have had now Why do you say that Jerry? Well, look at all the poetry, you know by heart. Oh, that's nothing son Why in my prime I used to know most of Shakespeare's plays by heart every line really indeed I did not to mention many many other plays Sometimes the school I I can't even remember my lesson for the next day We used to do a different play every night and not just two hour plays like in our theaters nowadays Why often our plays would last for four hours You mean to say you'd know enough plays all by heart so you could do a different one every night indeed Yes, it was necessary to know from 30 to a hundred or more parts if a man wanted to get a job in the theater in my day Collie and nowadays they hire an actor and teach him the part after he's hired see mr. Bradley Yeah, I just thought of something. Mm-hmm. Well, what is it Jerry? I got a letter from my lawyer today You did you mean that young man back in Jackson City who gave this spaghetti party? Yeah, my case is coming up before the superior court he hopes tomorrow at least that seems to be what he is trying to Tell me yes. Well, well, it was kind of mixed up and knowing you're pretty smart about things like that I wondered if you'd like to read it for me and explain exactly what it means. Oh, of course Jerry I'd be glad to I left the letter in the wagon. It's right over here. Want to walk over might be glad to good Come on rags. We're going places Rags say rags. No, he was here just a minute ago. He can get out of sight quicker than anything. I ever saw Rags. Oh There he are what you doing a mr. Bradley's wagon of all the curious mutts. Come on. We're heading for our wagon See he's happy just as long as we're going someplace So you got a letter from that nice young lawyer. Hmm. Do you hear from him often Jerry? Sure, he writes me every week just to keep me posted on the case Colley, I'm anxious about that safety deposit box. I believe you said once it was in your father's name Yeah, seems like it's sure taking a long time for the course to make up their minds to let me open it Well, that's the trouble with the law my boy Always a lot of red tape seems like a lot of foolishness to me It just makes common sense that if your dad leaves something behind he'd want his only son to have it instead of a lot of Strange yes, I know but of course the law is meant to protect its citizens and that's why they want to be sure They don't make mistakes. Yeah Hey rags stop running off That curiosity yours will get you in the trouble one of these days Well, here we are if you wait just a jiffy. I'll run in and get the letters No one here. They're probably hanging around the mess stand waiting for the flag to go up. Nice doggy. Nice doggy. Oh, come on, Rags That's right. Yeah, you like to have your ears Here's the letter shall we sit here on steps fine Now, let me see what that boy has to say. I mean that lawyer Can't you see mr. Bradley's busy Well, Jerry, this is simple enough young Grayson says he hopes your case will come up. Let me see yes That would be tomorrow. Yeah, that's what I thought it said But what was that stuff about if they didn't have time to do it tomorrow? They'd have to wait till the next something or other. Let me see Well, yes, this is it if they don't get to your case tomorrow It will have to be laid over until the next session. Yeah, but what does that mean that the next day? No, I'm sorry I'm sorry Jerry, but that means that all the members of the court are adjourned until they're called together again But Jiminy workers. Well, when will that be? Well, I guess that depends on the custom of that state Oh, gee, I hope they get it through it tomorrow. I feel terrible to have to wait much longer to see what's in that box
