Say, thanks, buck That's one thing I've been wanting to do all season ride some of their lead horses off the lot But the drivers have all been so busy and I have the regular leads on they're better than even a good driver Sure, I know they can see better and we can I guess I don't know about that But after years of pulling these heavy wagons off the lot they seem to have an instinct for the bad spot Come on wake up.

I don't mind telling you my hair So right up on in every hair of my head they block it feel I'm all separate what You scared of a nice friendly lion friendly say that feline took one look at me and she did out a roar You could have heard for a mile. Well, maybe she didn't like your hair standing up on end You should have combed it. Let me tell you it wasn't so funny. It doesn't look like she hurt you none Well, it just happened it was feeding time and she must have took one look at you and thought her raw meat Huh? Yeah, you said it but lucky for me the guy with fed him was just willing to dinner round He heard the roar and he run up the cage through in a big slab of meat one of the guards grab me before I had time to even think Yeah, it takes you quite a while to think I've noticed that and I listen. Don't be so smart Anyhow that cat took on the meat to fill in instead of me and Here I am wise animal. She probably got the tenderest piece of that. Yeah, is that so listen? I'm not so tough. I mean I Boy use your bite easy Gabby Hey, you guys notice what a nice job Jerry's done getting us up on the street now How can anybody ever know what's going on with a Gabby guy like this around Gabby?

Oh, that wasn't anything. It was fun On and I'm star when he Jerry's not here yet. I don't Hey spy, you know good guy alone in that booth over there. Oh that big good-looking one He's one of the roof off. Oh, it's one of them cossacks He's still been watching us ever since we came up to the counter. No, maybe he's thinking of putting you in his act Say and I'd be good too. Oh Here comes the grocery Pitching Gabby and away Say you don't think maybe that russian might really be thinking of using me in his act You never can tell maybe you're cut out to be an actor after all maybe Say you don't know from peanuts my folks always said I was born to be hung No, sir to go on the stage. Yeah. Yeah Say with your gift a gab you should be a salesman salesman. Yeah, I never thought of that I bet I'd be good at that too. I'll bet I could sell electric fans in Alaska if I had to listen Gabby I let you said you were hungry now pitch in and stop talking your coffee. You'll get cold Hey spike spike. Oh, what's your hurry Jerry Murray want you right away said it was important can't wait for morning No, but I told him you were eating but he said to get right over to the runs I'll say I got to go back to Gee that food sure smells good.

Yeah, he was sure in a hurry so long Gabby Yeah Hey, waiter, here's another cup of Java Hello, you are with the circus. Yes. Yeah sure one of the canvas men governor names Gabby No, I knew I'd seen you on the lot Mind if I finish my coffee here at the counter with you sure thing. Yeah, have a stew I was alone over there and well, I heard you two talking so I thought I guess the words You'd know a mouse kind of loud not at all. I was interested in you especially of me Say you wouldn't kid a fellow now. Would you governor you struck me as an ambitious sort of man? Yeah, that's me All right, I always want to get ahead you men work mighty hard Don't you I'll say and I'm telling you I've never shook a day's work in my life I haven't I can believe that but for so little What do you mean you are paid so little and you work so hard now to perform and this They get decent wages and they only work a short time in the ring. Yeah Often thought I wouldn't mind being a performer myself one of these days After all you laboring men are the backbone of the circus You don't think the show could open tomorrow if it weren't for you man. Do you know boss it couldn't I should think you deserve a Little extra for all that say I see a point governor Guess we should have more dough. Oh, not my point. I wouldn't start anything for the world But I can't help noticing things You see some days soon I'm going to have a circus of my own and I intend to see that my men are taken care of I Admire men who know what they are well and who demand that they get it That's an idea they open coming man of today's the leader of tomorrow. Yeah, that's me All right, and I admire a man knows what he's worth and the man's his rights Oh, sure, that's me. Why shouldn't employer pay more if the men don't ask for it You can't blame the boss indeed not if the men are underpaid. It's their own fault. Now. That's what I always say Hey, I never thought of that though. I wouldn't want you to repeat this is coming for me So I understand governor You've got to stand up for your rights nowadays to be respected and once the working men learn to stick together Say that's an idea I'm a pretty nifty talk and it's your duty to talk to the men and get them to demand the rights But it takes a leader. Yeah, I'm that all right. Yes, sir This is a free country put things are only artists when we take a stand and ask for them say I'm sure glad I talked to you. Of course. I wouldn't want our little conversation to To be repeated sure I understand you can depend on me gonna have another copper copy. Yeah, I don't mind what do Thanks governor You know, it's great talking to a man like you and I like talking to a man with courage and vision You
