059- A Five Dollar Vest

Jerry of the circus. Jerry of the circus. That's right, Santa. The police station.

Please, Mr. Platt, won't you let me explain? I will not. Oh, Jack, this phone. The police station can't be busy all the time. Hello. Hello, Santa. Will you please get me the police station? The line must be caught.

Honest, Mr. Platt. We weren't going to take nothing. Yeah, you tell that to the police. Mr. Platt, I'm with the circus that's just come to town. I was told with succulents. The toll was stuck in this.

Always a lot of no good loafers and hangin' on. Not with this, sir, kid. What that, Central? The line is busy. And it's a knife, how do you do? Can't even get the police when you need them.

Please listen, we had a fire last night. Our props and costumes got burned. I'm just trying to find an old-fashioned vest. We'll pay cash. What's that you say? I said we wanna buy whatever we can use.

We had a fire. Yeah, I heard about the fire, all right. But why didn't you say in the first place that you'd pay cash? Well, I tried to, but you wouldn't let me. Oh, I'll make you think I've got something that you can use.

Well, you see, Slats and me, he's one of the clowns. We were shopping around, trying to find an old-fashioned vest. We got to talk in a time here. So when they said they'd pay for them, I remember those old-fashioned things you had in this trunk.

Then when we got out here and found your car was gone, we thought we'd missed you. That's no excuse for opening trunks that don't belong to you. Well, I know. It's my fault. I had to hurry, and I just wanted to see if you had anything.
