 Jerry of the circus So early the phrase just lining up and you don't go on for quite a while I know usually I'm dressing at this time, but you realize Jerry I haven't seen a grand parade all season. Ah, you're fool I'm not it's a disgrace. That's what it is. Gee bumps, and I know every turn by heart Of course you do but the clowns work all through the show Those of us is just two star turns if usually only one thought till our turn is over I can see how that is It's probably better for you to concentrate on your own turn till it's finished This for me. I know every routine that follows my turn as well as you do Some is certainly stolen haven't you seen slats big thumb before I sprained it How can you spray it badly enough for it to grow as big as a dill pickle bad manners What could you do even with the worst of matters this boy your thumb so I hate to tell you Well, it's a bad habit. I started when I was but a boy I used this thumb for a pusher a pusher sure to push my food under my fork with and let me tell you I sometimes had to work it so hard. It kept swelling and swelling Sorry folks my public Do that big paper machine thumb Jerry say you missed one of the best clown act we've got if you haven't seen that Come on through here. I'll show you. Oh, I love this opening March Give me a thrill every time it starts up. Oh Hey, Jerry. Yeah, have you seen Jason much lately? Sure, but he's been kind of busy. You know that panther's been acting up Well, I know I just wanted if he wasn't making an excuse Seems if I never see him anymore besides that you've been away so much. Yes, I know Boris has insisted on taking me out for meals. You really have been nice showing me the talent It's been fun for a change. Yeah. Well, what do you expect then Patsy? You don't like Boris do you Jack? No, I don't but I do like you and if you have fun with him, I guess Oh Hey, Patsy look through here. Oh those elephants turning the beautiful. Don't they? I'll say and are they proud? Hey, look at El Mundo. Oh, he's gorgeous and all that beautiful purple and golden. Hey, see slats over there. Oh Trying to hitchhike a ride Even when he runs along after them He sure doing his best to track someone to catch him You're looks like a worn out hobo, but you just wait Did you ever see anything so won't be gone watch him now Patsy here comes the big line cage He's the most vicious looking cat Jason God Hey there see slats still summon for a ride, but the driver of the line cage is not sure He's opening the door to the cage gonna get slapped the left But of course, it's a fake door and Nemo can't get out Doesn't want to ride to that line and he didn't because if he had a good Boy, you're making time now. Hey Jerry. Hello Patsy. I didn't know you weren't here You're quite a danger. We've been watching slats that cat of yours sure looks gross. You mean Nemo. Yeah, it's part of his act And he knows it. Did you want something of me? Yes, Jerry. Will you try and find mr. Randall? I want him to watch my action nothing serious I hope but you know how streaks been acting up and I Jump on you last night. Well, I've been thinking it might be a good idea leave you to leave him out of the act That's a shame but naturally I'd want to consult mr. Randall first, okay? I'll get him for you right away, but Jason. Are you sure it's a beauty work the panther at all tonight, of course He's no worse than he's been all week Then he's not any better, and I just thought arrest might do the trick You're sure it's not dangerous. Of course. I am because you mustn't take any risks Jason. Don't you worry Patsy? I won't you know, I don't seem to see you anymore Jason Well, I guess you're pretty busy and but I'm not too busy to see you ever Do you mean that Patsy? Of course. What about after the show tonight? Maybe we could go over to that Chinese place and get some chop suey. Would you like that? You bet? I would I'd love it Jason only you see well, I had already promised bars. Oh, sure I see Patsy. Well, I've got to tell those guards not let streak until everything is set. Tell mr. Randall I'll be back just before going in of course, but Jason. Yes You do understand Sure, I do Patsy listen as far as I'm concerned you're one of the grandest girls. I've ever known them Well, I hope you're gonna be very happy so long Well of all things are the Lady Patsy. Well, did you like my turn over what? How did you like my act? Oh, yes, of course neither. Oh, it was awfully funny. It sound like the audience thought so too. Mm-hmm. Thanks Patsy Say it's something wrong. No, why you're sort of funny Didn't mean to be Jason just left as I came up. He didn't say something to you that if he did our knock is no No, of course. He didn't slat, but he Well, I think he's got the wrong idea about something and well, I don't know what I can do about it Uh-huh. He's such a stubborn fella. That's exactly it Well, I got to change but Patsy if there's anything I can do, you know, you can always depend on me, don't you? Of course, I do slat and thanks Yes, Jason gone in yet. No, not yet Jerry. Oh, did you find Mr. Randall? Yeah, he's right behind me Jason said he'd be back to see Mr. Randall just before going on. He'll be here in a jiffy, Mr. Randall Mr. Randall, you're sure it's safe for Jason to work street tonight. Oh, of course Jason's too level-headed to take any risks Say Jason knows his cats like a book and well, I guess they know him almost as well Well, can they tell when he's worried or upset? You bet they can. They smell it or something. Don't they, Mr. Randall? Sometimes it seems so. Animals sense strange things like that sometimes. I've heard that. I guess that's why I'm kind of worried What do you mean Patsy? Well, I was talking to Jason a minute ago and he misunderstood something and well, he seems sort of... Hey, you didn't quarrel, did you? Oh, no. I guess we don't have to worry much about Jason He's a showman first of all. I'm sure he can always take care of himself. Did he is. I never get tired of watching his somersaults Something with that tiger. Yeah, that's a knockout alright and the way she snarls and fights back. Why, you'd think she was gonna jump at him any Minute. That's a surefire trick. The audience falls for it every time He's on it. Yeah, they're putting a lion through the runway now. You sure you say he said he'd be here Here he comes now. Oh, I'm glad you're here, Mr. Randall. Please watch streak carefully. I'll talk to you afterwards about it What about the gun? I checked that they're loaded with the usual blank cartridges. Yeah, you sure safe? Of course. I've posted Mike to stand by the steel door one guard I can always trust. Say you better get going I'll say half my charges are already in the steel. All right. Well good luck Jason and be careful That's the best thing I do. Well, here goes Okay Sorry Mike everything ready just you done it yourself, okay? Keep your eye on streak when it comes in and don't leave this door for any reason if I need it I'll need it quick. Now you can count on me. Okay, open her up.
