strong baling rings
slipping along the great poles,
until at last they reach to
the flags flying from the peak.
And as the big top rises in
each town, new risks are taken.
Caution is thrown to the winds
in this battle for the centre ring.

I warned her not to do
Jenny's act on that rigging.
Yeah. I was there the
night Jenny got killed.

- Paying for the hay all in silver?
- That's how we get paid.
Holly's spinning like a
weathervane in a Kansas twister.
- Swingovers?
- Yeah.
Her rope isn't rigged for that.
Tell the ringmaster to
whistle in The Zoppes.
- Fast.
- Right.
...107, 108, 109,
110, 111, 112...
Come on.
114, 115, 116,
117...
- What are they doing, Grandma?
- I don't know.
121, 122, 123,
124...
Like a fish on a line!
The red rope!
Hey, you!
You! Are you crazy?
Hauling me down in front of everybody!
Everybody laughing at me!
I was going for a record!
What's the matter, are you jealous?
Can't you stand to see me
work in the air anymore?
You can't do that trick
on a pull-up rope.
- I was doing it, wasn't I?
- Get out of the way.
A hurricane of hazardous horsemanship
displayed by the riding Zoppes!
Why didn't you put her over
your knee and spank her?
That would get some laughs, too.
Haven't you got enough clowns, you
got to make a comic out of her?
- She was trying to break a record.
- Shed have broken more than a record.
You sure saved her a buster.
You better tell her, Brad,
or shell never forgive you.
Alberto Zoppe and Cucciola,
worlds smallest bareback rider!
I would buy you spring violets
from the little old lady
in the Place de l'Opera
and crйpes suzettes.
You never eaten them?
Paris is a honeymoon city,
chйrie, full of enchantment.
On a night like this, the
Seine is deep and mysterious,
like a woman's eyes.
The lights in it are like jewels.
Did you know, chйrie, in your eyes
there are lights like stardust?
No, but keep going.
You are beautiful and
exciting, like wine.
You know women are like wine?
Some are like sweet Sauternes,
some are warm like Burgundy, some...
Which one was Angel?
- Angel?
- Angel.
Angel was like cognac,
all fire in a glass.
But you...
You are like champagne.
Sparkling, tantalizing.
You make a mans head spin.
- You've got a terrific line.
- A line? What is that?
Well, I mean, you've said all
this before to too many girls.
Well, never to one like you.
Oh, I have wandered a little.
But how else could I appreciate
what I have found now?
Id better go.
When we are up in the air,
I fall more and more in love.
- You, too, no?
- No.
A girl may say no, but
the woman in her means yes.
- Do not be afraid of me.
- I'm just scared of myself.
It is not of yourself. It
is love that frightens you.
Feel. My heart beats fast like yours.
- That's the magic of it. You love me.
- No. I mean, I don't know.
Let me go! Sebastian!
Never try to take
anything from an elephant.
Sebastian, do something!
A lion, I'll fight for you. A tiger.
But a redheaded wildcat
with an elephant, no.
You make this two-tailed
jackass put me down!
Did he tell you about
Paris in the spring?
It's none of your
business what he told...
Did he say you were like
cognac, all fire in the glass?
No. He said I was like
champagne. I made his head spin.
Yeah, only you'll be the one
that wakes up with a hangover.
You take care of your love
life, and I'll take care of mine.
No, I've got four
working here. That's all.
Well, if you've got an
elephant missing, go find her.
Joe, send into town.
They had a Republican
convention there tonight.
Hold it. Here's your
missing Jumbo. It's okay.
Come on, move it up,
Ruth. Come on. Move it up.
You...
All right. Put her down.
What's this, a new act?
You nearly lost your
stray lamb to a wolf.
You know,
