Circus

Opening night at the circus: "How's everyone's jitters?"

"What do you mean, you 'feel funny'?"

"You must forgive me, I seem to have misplaced my spectacles... Does the best man have the ring?"

'He's a control freak but the treats are good.'

'Do you still think we have this family under control?'

'When are you gonna get me some real competition?'

"He's so cute when he waves his little baton."

'Now, I want you to get back out there and beg him for mercy!'

"O.K., now—on three, I'm going to toss a second job in there!"

"It's Nellie the Elephant, Boss. She's just packed her trunk and said goodbye..."

'May I be serious for a minute?'
