 Jerry of the circus you take a few minutes of your time mr. Randall my books here, but they can wait What's on your mind? Well, mr. Randall. I I don't know just how to start but well I really come to talk to you about Jerry Jerry Well, you see mr. Randall a boy is just about heartbroken not being able to work with that new elephant El Mundo And it's his own fault major. I must have discipline on a lot But I don't think he had anything to do with cutting the bearded ladies beard off I don't either, but I do think he knows who it was. Hey, you don't happen to have anything to do with that beard cutting job Do you know me why mr. Randall? I happen to know you don't have a lot of love for the bearded lady. Well, she riles me You even get mad thinking about it. Yes, I do Oh, and isn't it reasonable for me to suspect you of cutting her beard off? Oh, mr. Randall Well, what is it you want to talk to me about about Jerry? I wanted to ask you if you wouldn't let him go ahead and work El Mundo He's got his heart set on it and he was so excited about that uniform I think he'd be a big attraction with the elephant Why is this sudden interest in Jerry? Oh, I've always liked Jerry. He's a great boy But I can't have underhanded work going on he's shielding someone major and I don't like it after all He's working for me and I'm paying him if he's going to be loyal to anyone I should be first well, but maybe he can't tell you nonsense But if he feels that way then let him take the punishment. Well, is that all major? You won't reconsider and let him work El Mundo. Oh, I've got to find out who cut the beard off the bearded lady Maybe Jerry'll decide to tell me how he happened to borrow those shears from Clara The best way to make a boy behave is to take something away from him that he wants badly But mr. Red was no prank major. What good the bearded lady without a beard She has no value at all now at least until her beard goes out again, and that'll take months Well, it serves her right. What's that? Well, it was her own fault, mr. Randall I believe you know more about this than you're saying why mr. Randall listen major if you know anything I I want you to tell me you've come to me pleading for Jerry now if you really want to help Jerry Tell me all you know if you learn who really cut the beard off with it. Let Jerry ride El Mundo. Well Well, yes, I will and for all that's what I want to find out. Well, you won't tell a bearded lady I'm afraid you're afraid. Oh, you promise you won't tell her. Oh, all right out with it. Who did it? Well now mr. Randall, I hope you won't get to and out with it major. Well, sir, I Cut the beard off. Oh Yes, sir, but she had it coming really she did let me decide that I'll tell you the whole story and then I'll bet you'll Agree with me. Well, it better be good. Well in the first place She's been sending threatening notes to Carmen bandini. She's been threatening Carmen's life, mr. Randall She's threatened to put acid on the tight wire the bandini's use and the last note She said to Carmen had a dagger stuck through it All right, she really had Carmen scared and the bandini brothers were going to take it into their own hands No, that's bad, but what did the bearded lady have against Carmen? She's jealous. That's what she is jealous Jealous of home. Well, I Guess me who because I've been paying a little attention to Carmen. Yes, sir She said in one of those notes that if Carmen didn't get out of the circus right away. Her life would be in danger Is this the truth major? Positively mr. Randall, but why didn't you come to me? Why do you always take things in your own hand? Oh, I really couldn't help it really I couldn't I just got the idea that by cutting a beard off I'd get even it might scare into behaving herself I just got the idea and the first thing I know I did it and you went in and did your barber trick while She was sleeping. Yes, sir major I don't know what to say to this Threatening people as she did Carmen is bad very bad Yes, sir folks that work on the wire are naturally high strong and nervous is upset her plenty mr. Randall I can well imagine. Well What are you going to do with me? Well major I I'm going to forget the whole thing and you won't tell the bearded lady. I did it No, no, I won't and you don't have to worry about her any longer either. No, I've already let her go She's leaving the circus this afternoon You've got that beard pretty short major these have no value at all with her beard as short as it is Is she gonna join up with us again when that beard goes in? Well, I haven't decided that yet at any rate. She doesn't have to worry about money while her beard is growing in she Had it ensured what yes, you'll get a nice piece of money from the insurance company Well of all things Now you will let Jerry work with El Mundo. Mr. Randall. We're well Sure You know major I'm kind of glad this whole thing came to light I won't have people around my show that send threatening letters to other performance Maybe without her beard. She'll cool off now in this little vacation Oh, give her a chance to think it over Can I go and tell Jerry that you said it was okay for him to go ahead and rehearse El Mundo? Go look him up tell him I said to go over to Clara and tell her to finish up his uniform right away Tell him to report to Oldson and rehearse his tricks with the elephant.
