Jerry up the circus. Or Jerry up the circus. So much in this backyard.

Stay right by me. I'm not going over our wagon. I'm going over a giant Bradley's wagon. I'm going to tell him about the party last night. Come here now. Just got your leg as well.

You can't have the show off and run so fast. Now you wait right here. Mr. Bradley. Mr. Bradley. I guess he's not here yet. Well, we'll just wait around for him. What do you say?

Hey, how about some tricks? Think you can jump up on my shoulder like you do it, boss? Okay, let's try. One, two, three. Ah! Good boy, good for you. Now let's see if you can jump down to my foot and somersaw back up to my shoulder again.

Ready? Go! I'm sorry for you, Ray. You're all right. You know, I bet you and I could do bumpsack without any trouble. I'm glad to know that too, because Mr. Randall said I was the understudy, and I have to be able to do all of the clownsack.

Now let's try that double-summer salt now. No, gettin' back at me like you do a bump. That's the fella. Now ready? One, two, three. Go up. Oh, ya did it. Oh, John, I mean, Mr. Bradley, I didn't see you.

Hello, just got here, Jerry. Just in time to see that last trick. I would just put in rags through some of his stunts to see if he could do him with me as well as he does with bonds.

I should say there's little doubt about that after witnessing your demonstration. Yeah, he does a trick just as easy with me as he does him with bonds. I'll bet he'd even work with you if you'd give him the right cues.
