 Jerry of the circus take it why you don't say Murray I got an idea just a second Jerry wait till we get this rope tight we can't that's just it he was Murray we'll never get it done what now you listen here young man it's almost 11 now and usually we're up by nine won't you listen Murray it's really a swell idea okay Jerry let's have it let's make it quick well now look you use the elephants to help raise the center post don't you sure men aren't strong enough for that work well then we're not strong enough to do good job on Titan and all this canvas by golly kid you're right why didn't I think of that myself oh I see Jerry means to put the bulls on these ropes and let them do the work huh sure flat that's it Jerry do you're a lifesaver I guess I've just been too worried to do a little thinking for myself and me too imagine here I was standing right here brains and all and I never even thought of getting an elephant to do the work for me that's a good one one elephant for one midget guess that's a fair enough exchange is that a major you look here so I better not try and start anything hey Jeff Pavolson bring a couple of those bulls back here we need them quick okay but he was Jerry seems like you could have thought of this a little earlier before I got all these blisters on me they those are beauts aren't they and I'll say hey Murray what can I do next that won't be so hard on my hands why not help Pat put up the seats he needs an extra hand that's just the ticket you know only the other day hooligan and I thought out a new system for putting up those things no fancy tricks there slats we got to be sure the audience is safe don't you worry I'll get hooligan and we'll try out our plan say listen it'll revolutionize the old system for putting up circus seats you wait and see yeah well I'm not so keen on anything new not today don't you worry Murray and now where well if you're going to use those elephants I guess you won't need me on this job Murray what can I do next you better rest a while major well listen here Murray just because I'm small you can't treat me like I'm a child better let him work you'll do it anyhow you bet I will okay major I need someone over at the wardrobe to direct those fellas on tightening the stakes we'll use your brains this time that's that ticket now you're talking sense you go over there and get those ropes all set so that when I send Olson over with the bulls they can be just hitched up to the ropes and that little top can be ready in record time and you bet I'll fix it okay Murray you're pretty lucky to have a man like me around and you can depend on indeed I am major say you're often coming over now if the elephant that's fine we'll be through in no time now Jerry thanks for the suggestion I should have had my head examined for not thinking of it myself all that's nothing poor major Mike he's more in the way than anyone I ever saw I know but you can't tell him so he'd ever fit I know and he'd raise such a rumpus that he'd cause even more trouble than he does now getting under everyone's feet yeah he gets so mad when things go wrong you know I nearly split laughing last night when they pulled him out of that wagon load with Kansas yeah and he blaming everyone else but himself hey fellas hitch those bulls up to the ropes and we'll get those guy ropes tight in no time and then we'll do the same with the menagerie top and then take the smaller top Murray what can you better work out Mundo he's your elephant oh so well that's great hey what's up good night the wardrobe job quick everybody all hands of the wardrobe top he was a major sure done at this time quick on that canvas raise it carefully I hope the major's not heard that's right take it easy easy major what do you suppose how would you feel if a whole tent fell down right on top of you know but good heavens man what were you doing inside I went in just to be sure everything was okay what's going on here thank you're sure lucky major hey look Mr. Anil that center pole held all the canvas off him I'm certainly glad you're not hurt major right of course I'm hurt I ain't all over this whole tent fell down on me didn't it but it didn't touch you he looked see that pole protected now listen here young man I'll thank you not to contradict me I guess I know whether I'm hurt or not but what happened how did all those ropes slip at once like that well you told me to get them ready for the elephant is well so we were untying you mean you loosened them all at once uh well it's lucky you weren't killed now listen major after all this you'd uh you better go and lie down a little while me I should say not you don't get me to lie down on my job now listen major we have to think of our show too I can't have my star attraction too tired to work now you go and get a little rest yes you're right I must think of my public that fall must have been a pretty bad shock shock that's hardly the word for it it was terrible okay major you will rest a bit we'll we'll send for you when we need you again all right Mr. Randall but I don't want you to think I'm lying down on a job oh I should say not you're one of the pluckiest of all okay if you realize that then it's all right but I won't sleep mind you boy what a mess I tell you we never would have gotten this show up with that midget loose around here I could see that Murray and the poor little fellow so anxious to do everything to help yeah but he can do more damage than 10 zebras okay man give us a hand with this canvas say mr. Randall you think you'll be able to get our show on for the matinee oh yes if you're not all too dead tired to work ah don't worry about me and how are things going under the meantime fine I guess they were spreading out the sawdust a little while ago oh good and you want to walk over with me when I check up sure thing I can help slats and hooligan they're putting up the seats with Pat and some of the clowns I certainly appreciate the loyalty of all of you performers ah you deserve it all right mr. Randall I've always tried to be fair but I go there it is right away by the fancy called Murray quick Jerry hey Murray Murray right here the main job be right over all those seats while they're caved in a slant hooligan are you hurt oh no so but we can't move panty and you Tony get those boards off quick be careful not to hurt those clowns take it easy take it easy now what happened what are you doing you see mr. Randall hooligan and I had a new system all worked out for getting these seats up quick and when Murray said for us to help it just seemed like the chance of a lifetime to try it out here so you did try out your own ideas anyhow uh yeah but I guess we weren't as smart as we thought you're telling me all right man get back to work as fast as you can it's almost noon and we've got to get this circus ready so that the performers can rest or they'll be so dead tired they won't be able to work okay fellas back on the job come on folks all right Murray come on boys what a day well we made it the tents are up and Collie we couldn't ask for a better crowd there's a good reason for that what well the papers are full of the fact that the canvas men and the stakers have struck gee whiz did the papers print that mm-hmm and they did Hastings even snapped some pictures while you were all working this morning and they'll be in tonight's papers they may be that'll bring a lot of folks in huh it'll bring them around a lot but whether they'll go in to see the show is another thing you see we'll have to leave out some of the axe jar yeah I know so the rest of us can help put up and clear away the props and folks are funny if all three rings aren't playing at once they may not think they're getting the money's worth oh that's silly because well they can't watch more than one ring at a time I know but we've trained people to expect three features going all at once and if they don't they feel cheated think they get a kick out of seeing the clowns and the rest of us doing our own turns and then they open the other folks I was looking for you hello there boy something wrong I was just messing inside show where stuff he called me and he said to tell you they can't wake up major might what they don't know what to do it's time for the first show they can't wake them up he's crawled in that little bed of his he keeps in his tent and he's snoring like a house of fire no wonder after all he's been through today yeah last night that stuff he said they'd shake him but the only mumbles and he doesn't even open his eyes I was afraid it'd be too much for him but this is really bad after all he's our star attraction in the side show hey mr Randall I've got a swell idea what is it Jerry oh why not just move him bed and all and put him on the stand snoring and everything oh that'd never do why not see I should think the folks would get an awful kick out of seeing that little bed and the speeler can explain it well he works so hard this morning that he won't wake up it's not a bad idea that mr Randall the major level fit if he wakes up oh no he won't not if he's got a mob around him saying how cute he is he doesn't care what he does just so the public gets a kick out of me I think I would do it mr Randall it's taking a pretty big risk but I don't know it might work sure it will come on let's go and try it I must say you're not giving me a chance to run mountain circus Jerry I didn't mean that mr Randall I just thought it was all right Jerry I think maybe after all I'll give it a try come on we'll go over to good then my job is finished I must get ready for my own yeah all right thank you Boris thank you for bringing the message that is all right mr Randall well good luck goodbye I'll see you later and tell you how the major that goes you do that hey Boris oh it is you Boris will you talk to me a minute please it's important of course I will get me but it's not good business for us to be seen together yeah step behind this wagon we can talk here without being noticed all right but just for a minute yeah I don't know what to do you see they got the circus up and hey look over there on the midway on account of the strike there are more folks there than ever today I'm afraid the strike isn't a good idea you will have to be patient Kaby these things can't all be done at once yeah I know but look even you help this morning I had to the performance aren't striking it would have looked funny if I'd been the only one not helping yeah I know well I don't know what to do next say has it occurred to you that we just barely got things done sure but it's done there'll be a show yes but if you could get the animal trainers on your side the animal trainer sure any guards and all that crowd they get about the same money you do yeah that's it without them you'd never gotten this short of it and without them it'd be impossible to open up to work the animals see that's so your performers couldn't handle animals and everything that's right but but I wouldn't want anyone to know I put such an idea in your head Gabby don't worry but you sure hit on the one thing can swing out troubles yeah it's an idea if it can be work you can just bet I'll try thanks that's all right the only thanks I want is for my name to be kept out of this in case of trouble yeah you can check out on me and that's fine Gabby good luck yeah we'll need it but I think I can talk to Jeff and some of the boys maybe there won't be a show tonight after so long thanks a million
