  • (03:55) “Wonder what's got into that mare.” – Whitey
  • (04:06) Jerry: “Maybe I can quiet her, Whitey. Nice lady. What's the matter, lady, huh?”

  • (06:00) Bumps: “What would you think of letting Rags work? Work? In my act?”

  • (11:29) Jason: “No, but I take a cage of tigers in preference to a fire any day.”

[Circus Worker]

Gary of the circus. Now for Jerry of the circus.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Goodbye, Rags. Now, you stay quietly in this wagon and behave yourself. Now, no use wagging your tail. I won't take you long, but I'll be right back after the show. Now, be a good dog.

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

That's right, Flossy. Keep going there, girl.

[Circus Worker]

Hey, out of the way, buddy.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Oh, sorry, mister. Golly, those horses are Butte.

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

They sure are. Yeah. Watch them get in the step before they even get near the big top. Say, you're the kid Randall took on this afternoon, aren't you?

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Yeah.

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

He said he had a kid to help with the water. Hey, why don't you go on into the horse tent and get acquainted with Whitey? He's the head man.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Thanks. Sure. It's all right.

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

It'll be okay. This is a good time to see him while those Rosenbecks are working. Well, so long, kid.

[Whitey (Head Horseman)]

Hello, there.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Oh, are you Whitey?

[Whitey (Head Horseman)]

That's what they call me around here.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

I'm Jerry.

[Whitey (Head Horseman)]

Yeah.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Mr. Randall said I was to help you, you know, carry water.

[Whitey (Head Horseman)]

Oh, yeah. So you're the boy. Know anything about horses?

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Well, I. I helped dad take care of a string of them for a couple of years out in Arizona.

[Whitey (Head Horseman)]

Yeah.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Pretty mare over there. Yeah, that's her colt, huh? Cute, isn't he? How old is he?

[Whitey (Head Horseman)]

About three months. Whoa, there, lady. Take it easy. Hey, there.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

She'll break loose if she doesn't stop churning around. So.

[Whitey (Head Horseman)]

Wonder what's got into that mare.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Maybe I can quiet her, Whitey. Nice lady. What's the matter, lady, huh? Put your nose in your cold, pork? Trying to push him right out of the stall.

[Whitey (Head Horseman)]

Hmm. Looks as if she wants to get rid of that cold, all right. I can see you understand horse talk, sonny.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Shall I take the cold away?

[Whitey (Head Horseman)]

Yeah, that's a good idea. Tie her up there in that empty stall way down at the far end.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Okay. Kind of frisky, aren't you? Hey, what's his name? Whitey?

[Whitey (Head Horseman)]

Splendor.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

All right, Splendor. Here you go right into this empty stall. Take it easy there. Gee, you're a pretty pony.

[Whitey (Head Horseman)]

Say, Jerry, when you finish tying up

[Circus Worker]

that colt, you better run along.

[Whitey (Head Horseman)]

That horse opry's about over and I'll be busier than I'll get out when those rosin bikes come back.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Okay, Whitey. Is the mare all right now?

[Whitey (Head Horseman)]

Well, she's a little better, but still pretty nervous. Funny, she never acted like that before. Thanks, Jerry, for helping.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Oh, that's nothing.

[Whitey (Head Horseman)]

Now, you be sure and report early in the morning. As soon as the horse tops up, I'll have plenty of work for you.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Okay, Whitey. Guess I'll go back to the big top and see the rest of the show tonight.

[Whitey (Head Horseman)]

So long, Jerry.

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

Well, hello there, Jerry, my boy. Where you been? I've been looking for you.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Oh, hello, Bumps. I locked Rags up in the wagon and then I met my new boss.

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

Oh, you mean Whitey.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Yeah, he's nice, isn't he?

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

Sure is. You'll get along with him just fine.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Say, Bumps. Well, I feel terrible about Rags. I'm sorry he followed you into the ring like he did.

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

As a matter of fact, that's what I wanted to see you about. Jerry, I've been talking to Mr. Randall.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Gee whiz, he isn't sore, is he?

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

No, no, not this time. We just kind of figured the circus kind of gutting Rag's blood.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

That's it. You know, the only time Rags ever ran away in his whole life was when a band came through town. He's crazy about band music.

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

Well, that's. Well, that's gonna work out perfect.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

What?

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

What would you think of letting Rags work? Work? In my act?

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

No. Oh, Bumps.

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

Well, why not?

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

You really mean it?

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

Sure. I think Rags and I understand each other pretty well.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Oh, gee, Bumps, honestly, I'm so excited I can hardly golly imagine. Rags a real circus trick dog.

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

Yeah. Hey, ought to be worth a little money to you too, Jerry. I'll have to speak to Mr. Randall about that.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

A Gee, Bumps, that's swell of you.

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

Hey, hey, Jerry, look. They're bringing the lions back. Jason's just finished his act. You see him over there? They're taking the lions and tigers out of the big cage and putting them back in the animal wagon.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Gee, isn't that exciting, Bumps? Jason sure must be a brave man. Wish I could be a wild animal trainer.

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

Oh, looks as if you'd like to be a three ring circus all by yourself. Oh, here comes Jason now.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Boy, doesn't he look keen in that uniform.

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

He's a handsome man, all right. Oh, oh, Jason. Say, Jason.

[Circus Worker]

Oh, hello Mom.

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

Come here. I want you to meet a friend of mine. This is Jerry Dugan.

[Whitey (Head Horseman)]

Jason.

[Jason (Wild Animal Trainer)]

Hello, young fella. Glad to meet you.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Gee, me too.

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

Jerry here thinks he'd like to take up wild animal training.

[Jason (Wild Animal Trainer)]

Well, we might get around to that someday. Jerry, whenever you see me putting the tigers through their tricks, drop around and watch. That's the way I started.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

You did? You mean you can learn to train wild animals just from watching?

[Jason (Wild Animal Trainer)]

Well now, maybe it isn't quite that easy, but you can learn a whole lot from observation.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Well, tell me exactly how you did start, will ya? Weren't you afraid the first time you went into a cage with a lion?

[Jason (Wild Animal Trainer)]

Not exactly. You see Jerry, I didn't start with lions. No, no sir. The first animal I taught trick tricks to was a cat.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Oh, you mean a tiger, huh?

[Jason (Wild Animal Trainer)]

No, Jerry, not that kind of a cat. I mean a plain old alley cat collie.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

That's not a wild animal. There isn't any danger to teach a plain old cat trick.

[Jason (Wild Animal Trainer)]

That's right, Jerry. But there's plenty to learn with a domestic animal before you take up with the wild ones. You have to learn patience and plenty of it. You have to learn to keep cool and level headed. Even though it takes hours to teach one little trick. You have to be calm and never let the animal know you're excited.

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

Oh, you see, Jerry, there's a lot more to it than just cracking a whip and being brave.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Gee, I'll say there is.

[Jason (Wild Animal Trainer)]

Now, do you still think you'd like to learn to be an animal trainer?

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Uh huh. Cause I already know how to train domestic animals.

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

You do?

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Sure. I taught Rags most of the tricks he knows.

[Jason (Wild Animal Trainer)]

Rags? Who's Rags?

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Oh, you haven't seen him yet. Well, Rags is my dog.

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

Yeah, and a mighty fine dog too, Jason. I guess as friendly little fellas I've ever seen.

[Jason (Wild Animal Trainer)]

Well, fine. Then you're one up on me, Jerry. I guess you're about ready to start on leopards and tigers now.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Oh no, but I would like to see if I could get friendly with a little lion cub sometime.

[Jason (Wild Animal Trainer)]

Well, we'll see. You seem to like animals pretty well and that's the first step to being a trainer.

[Circus Worker]

Hey, quiet. All you guys not working, get over to the horse top quick. There's a fire and the horses are stampedin. Fire. Fire in the horse top.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Fire in the horse top Bumps. That's what was wrong.

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

What was wrong, Jerry?

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

That mare, she must have smelled the smoke. Horses sense Most things before we do. She was having a fit. That's why she wanted to get her cold out. She knew there was a fire starting.

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

I don't know what you're talking about, Jerry, but we'd better get moving. They'll be short, shorthanded over there.

[Jason (Wild Animal Trainer)]

It's a bad night for a fire with that wind coming up.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Gee, you can see the place from here.

[Jason (Wild Animal Trainer)]

Lucky most of the horses are still working.

[Circus Worker]

Every man grab a bucket.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

What are all the men getting in line for?

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

They're forming a fire brigade.

[Circus Worker]

Get all the buckets from the mess tent.

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

That's so they can pass the buckets

[Circus Worker]

of water up to the fire.

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

Quick, Jerry. And the other line over there is

[Circus Worker]

to pass the empty buckets back to

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

get them filled again.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Say, what about getting the elephants to help spray water on the fire?

[Circus Worker]

Elephants?

[Jason (Wild Animal Trainer)]

Good idea. How'd you happen to think of that?

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Dad told me about saving the whole surface that way.

[Circus Worker]

It's a swell idea. I'll see about getting in the elephants.

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

Jason.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Listen to those poor horses. Poor things.

[Circus Worker]

Hey, Jason, give me a hand with these Arabians.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Let me help too.

[Circus Worker]

Well, Jerry, now, you run over to

[Whitey (Head Horseman)]

that box right outside the entrance and grab some of that canvas.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Okay.

[Circus Worker]

Tear it up in strips and bring it back here. We have to blindfold those horses if we're gonna leave them through the flames. Hurry up, now.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Okay. I'll be right.

[Circus Worker]

Here comes Bumps with the elephants.

[Whitey (Head Horseman)]

By golly, that's a swell idea. Look at those elephants spray water on that fire.

[Circus Worker]

I guess those trunks are good for something besides grabbing peanuts after all.

[Jason (Wild Animal Trainer)]

I'm afraid it's too late to do much good. That main pole's almost burnt through now.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Hey, here's the canvas, Whitey.

[Circus Worker]

Oh, good for you, Jerry. Come on, Jason, quick. I think we can get them all out in one trip. Clear that fence. He's got a cave in. Did they get all the horses out? All but the Arabians.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Why, he's bringing them out now. There he comes. And there's Jason. They got them all. Whitey. Hey, Whitey, did you get the cold? Remember, I tied him down in the forest stall.

[Circus Worker]

Oh, gosh, I forgot about that cold. Oh, Jerry, don't go into that blazing tent. Oh, it'll fall in on you. It's too late to save that cold now. Here, you stay away from that top.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Take your hands off of me. Whitey. Let me get that cold.

[Jason (Wild Animal Trainer)]

That's right, Whitey.

[Circus Worker]

Hang on to Jerry.

[Whitey (Head Horseman)]

I'll get the cold.

[Circus Worker]

It's too late, Jason. The tent's caving in now.

[Jason (Wild Animal Trainer)]

No, I can make it. Hate you with that bucket.

[Circus Worker]

Throw that water on me. I'm going in that tent. Jason, you can't make it. Oh, there you are, Jerry.

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

We got those elephants.

[Circus Worker]

A little too late, Bubs.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Jason went into the can.

[Circus Worker]

Look, there it goes. Why doesn't Jason come out?

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

There he is.

[Circus Worker]

Where?

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

There, in the smoke by the entrance. See him? And he's got the cl.

[Circus Worker]

Oh, I can't believe it.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Jason, you did it.

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

See?

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Poor little ponies. Scared to death, aren't you?

[Jason (Wild Animal Trainer)]

Well, Jerry, I guess that's all I

[Whitey (Head Horseman)]

could do with a bath. Golly, man, are you hurt?

[Jason (Wild Animal Trainer)]

No, but I take a cage of tigers in preference to a fire any day.

[Whitey (Head Horseman)]

Oh, thanks, Jason. I'll never forget this.

[Jason (Wild Animal Trainer)]

Well, here come the boys with the fire extinguishers. They'll handle it from now on.

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

Oh, sure. Yeah, they'll get it under control, all right. Oh, gee Whiz, it's almost 11. I gotta get back for the finale.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

And I better go get Rags. Don't be scared stiff with all this noise and smoke. I'll go along with you, Bumps, as far as a wagon.

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

Yeah, okay, Jerry, but hurry now.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

I'll be back and help you, Whitey, as soon as I get my dog.

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

Hey, you know, Jerry, that's the first fire we've had in over five years. It's lucky all the horses were saved.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Golly, wasn't Jason wonderful?

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

It takes a brave man to handle lions, Jerry.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Wasn't he ever hurt, Bumps?

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

Well, I guess if you'd call being clawed by wild animals being hurt, he's had his share.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Then he has been clawed, huh?

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

Oh, plenty of times. But it doesn't seem to put any fear into him. He always figures it's his fault when something goes wrong and one of the animals gets at him.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

And he goes right back into the cage with the same animal that Claudy.

[Jason (Wild Animal Trainer)]

Good.

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

After a lot of stitches and a short stay in the hospital, he goes right into the steel with his cats again.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

The Steel? What do you mean, Bumps?

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

Oh, oh, well, the steel, Jerry, is the big cage in the center ring where Jason puts on his axe. Oh.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Well, I thought that was a cage.

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

Well, yeah, that's what it really is. But around the circus, you'll find we have a lot of different names for things.

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

Bumps, look it.

[Whitey (Head Horseman)]

What?

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

The door to our wagon. It's open.

[Bumps (Circus Worker)]

Well, what of it?

[Jerry (Boy Helping at Circus)]

But I left Rags there. Rags. Rags. Rags, where are you? Bump? He's gone. Rags is gone.

[Liberty Mutual Agent]

And Doug, there's nowhere I wouldn't go. To help someone customize and save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual, even if it moves, means sitting front row at a comedy show.

[Liberty Mutual Customer]

Hey, everyone. Check out this guy and his bird. What is this, your first date?

[Liberty Mutual Agent]

Oh, no. We help people customize and save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual together. We're married. Me to a human, him to a bird.

[Liberty Mutual Customer]

Yeah, the bird looks out of your league.

[Liberty Mutual Agent]
