IT JUST TAKES 3 IN A ROW.

THE LITTLE BOY JUST WON ONE.

HE'S ABOUT 7.

OK. HERE GOES ONE.

HEY! OH, EXCUSE ME.

YOU'VE GOT TO HIT THE LITTLE DOLLY.

THAT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN WIN.

I KNOW ABOUT THAT. I KNOW ABOUT THE 7-YEAR-OLD.

JUST--JUST-- JUST DON'T TALK. I NEED TO CONCENTRATE.

Charles: HEY, NELS.

OH, I'M SORRY.

HEY, HOW YOU DOING? HAVING ANY LUCK?

WELL, NOT--NOT VERY MUCH, I'M AFRAID.

I'M JUST GOING TO THAT WILD JACKASS RIDING CONTEST.

WANT TO COME ALONG?

OH, I'D LOVE TO.

I KNOW HARRIET'S NOT GONNA BE OVER THERE.

HEY, YOU OUGHT TO ENTER IT. IT'S A LOT OF FUN.

Nels: OH, CHARLES. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT.

Charles: COME ON. GIVE IT A TRY.

Woman: STOP, THIEF! HE STOLE MY BAG!

Man: THERE HE GOES! SOMEBODY, GRAB HIM QUICK!

Woman: SOMEBODY, DO SOMETHING!

Man: WE GOT HIM! WE GOT HIM! Woman: MY BAG!

Second Man: HOLD HIM DOWN!

[WOMAN SHOUTING]

CROWDS ALWAYS DRAW PICKPOCKETS.

SPOILS YOUR FAITH IN THE HUMAN RACE, DOESN'T IT?

IT CERTAINLY DOES.

Man: 3 TRIES FOR A NICKEL. HIT THE TARGET AND--

PLANNING ON TAKING THAT BALLOON RIDE, CHARLES?

OH, NO. NOT ME.

[CARNIVAL MUSIC PLAYING]

Mary: UH, SIR!

EXCUSE ME.

WELL, IF THERE'S SOMETHING I CAN DO FOR YOU,

YOU JUST NAME IT.

WELL, I'M LOOKING FOR A BOY.

HE'S 16 YEARS OLD AND, UH...

OH, I'D SAY ABOUT THIS TALL.

NO, NO, NO, NO.

THAT SHOULD BE THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

HE SHOULD BE THE ONE LOOKING FOR SUCH A PRETTY THING AS YOU.

WELL, I THINK MAYBE HE IS.

YOU SEE, WE WERE SUPPOSED TO MEET HERE,

AND, WELL, I'M LATE,

AND I THOUGHT HE MIGHT HAVE GONE TO SEE WHERE I WAS.

WELL, IF IT WAS ME, I'D HAVE WAITED.

WAS HE HERE?

16, YOU SAID?

UH-HUH.

COME UP TO MY SHOULDER, LIKE...

MOP OF BLOND HAIR...

NAME OF PATRICK, WOULD IT BE?

YOU KNOW HIM?

SURE. HE WORKS HERE, SAME AS ME.

HE WORKS FOR THE BALLOONIST?

OH, THAT HE DOES.

AND MORE'S THE PITY, THE WAY THAT MAN HAS THE TWO OF US SLAVING.

OH.

BUT HE'S A TERROR, THAT MAN...

A LIAR AND A BRAGGART

AND A DEVIL WITH THE LADIES,

IF YOU'LL EXCUSE THE EXPRESSION.

NOW, IF I WERE YOU,

AS SOON AS PATRICK GETS HERE,

I'D GO OFF FROM THIS PLACE AND NEVER SET EYES ON IT AGAIN.

WELL, IF HE'S SUCH A TERRIBLE MAN,

WHY DO YOU WORK FOR HIM?

WELL, MAYBE I AM STRETCHING IT A BIT.

LIKE, I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM EAT BABIES, AS SOME CLAIM.

OH, YOU'RE TEASING ME.

- ME? - HA HA HA!

TEASE SUCH A PRETTY LASS AS YOU?

I'D SOONER CUT MY HEART OUT

IF I HADN'T LOST IT TO YOU ALREADY.

[SIGHS]

OH, BUT HERE COMES YOUR PATRICK NOW.

IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME, I HAVE WORK TO DO.

UH, BUT DO LIKE I SAID.

RUN OFF WITH PATRICK BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

[GIGGLES]

[MAN LAUGHS]

UM, I'M SORRY I'M LATE, MARY.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

WELL, I LOST ALL MY MONEY.

I CAN'T TAKE YOU ANYWHERE.

I CAN'T BUY YOU ANYTHING.

I WANTED TO.

- LOST IT? HOW? - I DON'T KNOW.

IT MUST HAVE BEEN WHEN I SPILLED THE WOOD.

THE BARREL HIT A RUT,

AND THE DARN THING TIPPED OVER.

I GUESS IT FELL OUT OF MY POCKET

WHEN I WAS PICKING THE WOOD UP.

HEY, DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE MONEY, PATRICK.

I MEAN, LOOKING AT THINGS CAN BE ALMOST AS MUCH FUN AS BUYING.

LOOKING AT ICE CREAMS AND SODAS?

OH, LOOK. I GOT SOME MONEY.

I WOULDN'T LET YOU SPEND IT ON ME.

DON'T BE SILLY.

AW, COME ON.

LET'S START LOOKING ANYWAY, HUH?

OH, BUT DO YOU HAVE TO STAY HERE?

WELL, I HAVE TO BE HERE 15 MINUTES BEFORE THE NEXT SHOW,

BUT, WELL, THAT'S NOT FOR ANOTHER HOUR.

WELL, THEN LET'S GO.

Man: OH, NO, YOU DON'T.

I WARNED YOU, MY PRETTY ONE,

AND YOU DIDN'T HEED ME, SO NOW YOU'LL SUFFER.

IT'S ONLY CASS, MARY. HE'S ALWAYS PLAYING TRICKS LIKE THAT.

OH, PATRICK, LAD...

I COULDN'T HELP HEARING YOUR SAD TALE,

BUT I'M TAKING IT ON MYSELF TO MAKE AMENDS.

NOW...

YOU CAN EARN YOURSELF ANOTHER QUARTER BY HANDING THESE OUT.

BUT NO DUMPING, MIND, FOR I'M ONTO THE WAYS OF YOU YOUNGSTERS.

MEANWHILE...

I'LL LOOK AFTER YOUR LADY FOR YOU.

MARY...

YOU SHALL BE MY GUEST

FOR SODAS, ICE CREAM,

CANDIED APPLES, RIDES--

WHATEVER YOUR LOVELY HEART DESIRES.

NOW, WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THAT?

WELL, I--I DON'T KNOW. I--

YOU GO AHEAD. I-- I'LL GET IT DONE FAST.

YOU SURE?

OF COURSE HE IS.

NOW, COME ALONG NOW.

SEE YOU SOON, PATRICK.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

OUR COLOR BEARER WAS MR. HAROLD HANSON OF...

THANK YOU.

NOW, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN...

REMEMBER, I CATCH HIM, YOU RIDE HIM.

OH, CHARLES. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IN THE WORLD I'M DOING HERE.

COULDN'T BE ANY WORSE THAN A RIDE HOME

IF YOUR WIFE DOESN'T WIN A BLUE RIBBON.

- HEH HEH! - YOU MAY BE RIGHT.

THE FIRST MAN THAT CAN GET ON

ONE OF THESE ORNERY CRITTERS,

JUMP ON HIS BACK,

GO AROUND THE BARREL AND BACK ACROSS THE LINE

WILL WIN $50.

Man: WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLAY?

WHICH ONE HOLDS THE PEA? OH, WHAT A SHAME.

OH, YOU KNOW, THE ODDS ARE VERY MUCH AGAINST YOU--

I AM SORRY.

A WINNER, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

HE WINS 10 TIMES WHAT HE RISKED.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MY GOOD SIR.

WHO WILL BE MY NEXT LUCKY WINNER HERE?

WHY, HERE'S A BRIGHT YOUNG LADY NOW.

NOW, MISS, YOU KNOW I'M GIVING MONEY AWAY HERE.

AT ANY MOMENT, THEY MAY COME AND CART ME AWAY

BECAUSE THEY THINK I'M MAD.

NOW, WHICH HOLDS THE PEA, MISS?

WELL, HOW UNFORTUNATE. THAT IS THE SECOND TIME.

OF COURSE, NOW, A DIME IS STILL GOOD FOR A DOLLAR

IF YOU'D LIKE TO TRY ONE MORE TIME.

OH, SHE WOULD LIKE TO PLAY. ONE MORE TIME.

THIS ONE.

WELL, SEE HERE. OH, AND HOW UNFORTUNATE.

AND VERY SELDOM WE LOSE 3 TIMES IN SUCCESSION.

LET'S CONSIDER IT NOW. WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO AGAIN?

SHE WOULD LIKE TO GO AGAIN! LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

THAT ONE.

IS THAT IT? WELL, I'M SO SORRY.

WHAT A STREAK OF LUCK, MISS. WHAT AN INCREDIBLE STREAK OF LUCK.

HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT THE RULE ON THE STREET. THE EASIEST GAME IN EXISTENCE.

AND ALL YOU MUST POSSESS IS A SHARP EYE.

SHE HAS ANOTHER DIME, AND WE WILL SEE WHAT SHE PLAYS HERE.

THIS ONE.

OH, I CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT. I THINK YOU SHOULD PROBABLY KEEP PLAYING.

YOU WOULD NEVER LOSE 5 TIMES IN A ROW.

THIS IS THE EASIEST GAME ON THE STREET. LET'S SEE.

- THAT ONE. - THAT ONE NOW.

YOU THINK THAT'S IT FOR SURE?

YEAH. THAT'S IT FOR SURE. I KNOW THAT'S IT.

I JUST CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT.

THAT PEA IS UNDER THERE. WE KNOW IT'S UNDER THERE.

I THINK WE SHOULD JUST KEEP PLAYING TILL I HAVE ALL YOUR DIMES.

YOU HAVE THEM ALL.

WELL, IF YOU CAN'T PAY, THEN YOU DON'T PLAY.

PLEASE MOVE ALONG. MOVE ALONG NOW.

MARY...

WOULD YOU SAY YES TO SOMETHING IF I WAS TO ASK YOU?

WELL, IT-- IT DEPENDS.

WELL, I'VE ALWAYS FELT THAT MY SHOW LACKED

A TOUCH OF CHARM, BEAUTY.

LOOK AT THOSE LOVELY GLASSES OVER THERE.

OF THE ULTIMATE FEMININITY.

NOW, I MAKE A BIT ON THE SIDE

SELLING PICTURES OF MYSELF IN THE BALLOON.

YOU COULD DO THAT FOR ME...

AND HELP ME WITH MY LECTURE AND DEMONSTRATION.

MARY, YOU'LL WIN THE HEARTS OF THE ENTIRE AUDIENCE.

NOW, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO THAT?

Man:...COLD WATER.

Woman: AAH!

AAH! AAH! GET ME OUT OF HERE!

GET ME OUT OF HERE!

AAH! I QUIT!

I HIRED YOU-- GIVE ME MY MONEY!

I HIRED YOU FOR 2 HOURS.

WELL, PAY ME FOR ONE

AND FIND SOMEBODY ELSE!

I'VE GOT MY MONEY DOWN FOR 3 MORE THROWS!

IF YOU'RE SMART, YOU'LL KEEP HIM AWAY FROM HERE,

OR YOU'LL NEVER GET ANYONE FOR THAT CHAIR.

ALL RIGHT, BOYS. YOU'VE HAD YOUR FUN.

JUST KEEP AWAY FROM HERE FOR AWHILE.

MY MONEY'S DOWN FOR MORE.

NOT ANY LONGER IT ISN'T. OFF YOU GO.

NOW, THERE'S A DOLLAR IN IT FOR ANYONE WILLING

TO SIT IN THAT CHAIR FOR ONE HOUR.

99 TIMES OUT OF A HUNDRED, THEY'LL MISS THE TARGET,

BUT ON THE TENTH TIME, YOU GET AN ICE-COLD BATH.

ONE DOLLAR JUST FOR SITTING IN A CHAIR.

NOW, WHO WILL TAKE ME UP ON IT?

I'LL DO IT, MISTER.

NOW, THERE'S A SMART YOUNG LADY.

Woman: COULD YOU HELP ME, PLEASE?

VERY CLOSE, HARRIET.

[BALLS CLUNKING]

TOO BAD, LITTLE LADY.

BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME.

STEP RIGHT UP, FOLKS.

I BET IT'S A FAKE.

I BET NOBODY HITS THE TARGET.

DID YOU USE UP ALL YOUR MONEY?

NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

YOU GET PAID FOR SITTING THERE?

DOLLAR AN HOUR.

NELLIE, YOU'RE RIGHT. IT IS A FAKE.

EVEN IF YOU HIT THE TARGET, NOTHING HAPPENS.

SAY--OH, YOU GUYS AGAIN.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I'LL DO. I'LL SPLIT IT WITH YOU.

Cass: NOW, WHICH OF YOU IS BRAVE ENOUGH

AND RICH ENOUGH

TO RISK RIDING THE WINDS WITH ME?

[CROWD MURMURING]

WHAT?

SURELY ONE OF YOU BIG, STRONG MEN

MUST HAVE ENOUGH INTESTINAL FORTITUDE

TO ASCEND THE HEIGHTS WITH ME.

YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES.

WHY, THIS LOVELY LITTLE LASS HERE...

HAS NO FEAR OF A MERE BASKET AND A BALLOON.

- I DON'T? - INTO THE BALLOON.

INTO THE BALLOON, NOW.

THERE WE ARE.

NOW WE HAVE NEED OF ONE MORE VOLUNTEER.

WHO SHALL IT BE?

THERE WE HAVE ONE.

THERE'S A GENTLEMAN NOT AFRAID TO RISK

THE VOYAGE OF HIS LIFETIME.

THANK YOU, SIR.

AND NOW JUST INTO THE BALLOON.

JUST STEP RIGHT IN THERE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

NOW, I'M SORRY, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

BUT BRAVE THOUGH THE REST OF YOU MAY BE,

ONLY 3 OF US CAN ASCEND AT ONE TIME.

NOW, IF YOU'LL ALL JUST STEP BACK.

THAT'S IT. ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE BENCHES.

Man: HEY, COME ON OVER, FOLKS.

COME ON OVER AND RIDE MY CAROUSEL.

IT GOES ROUND AND ROUND. IT'S ONLY A NICKEL.

BIG AND LITTLE-- ALL OF YOU--

COME ON OVER AND RIDE THE CAROUSEL.

OH, MY, CARRIE. LOOK AT THAT LINE.

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT AN AWFUL LONG TIME FOR A RIDE.

YOU SURE YOU STILL WANT TO STAY?

I'M SURE.

ALL RIGHT.

[EXPLOSION]

THAT MEANS THE BALLOON SHOW IS GOING TO START SOON.

WOULDN'T YOU RATHER SEE THAT?

NO.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT--

YOU STAY HERE. I'LL BE BACK IN A MINUTE.

I JUST WANT TO SEE THE BALLOON GO UP.

OK. NOW, YOU WAIT HERE, PROMISE?

ALL RIGHT.

AT LEAST YOU DIDN'T LEAVE ME.

NOT YOU, TOO!

[EXPLOSION]

[BANDIT BARKS]

Cass: LET'S BE OFF!

[CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS]

MARY!

TELL MA AND PA I'M GOING TO BE A LITTLE LATE, ALL RIGHT?

TELL MA AND PA I'M GOING TO BE A LITTLE LATE, ALL RIGHT?

YOU SHOULDN'T BE GOING...

BUT HAVE A NICE RIDE.

Man: BIG AND LITTLE-- ALL OF YOU--

COME ON OVER AND RIDE THE CAROUSEL.

CARRIE, WHY ARE YOU WAY BACK HERE?

I GOT UP TO THE GATE, AND THE MAN SAID, "5 CENTS, PLEASE,"

AND I DIDN'T HAVE NO MONEY,

SO HE SENT ME WAY BACK HERE.

OH. WELL, WHERE'S BANDIT?

BANDIT WENT OFF WITH ANOTHER DOG.

[EXPLOSION]

OH, NO. WE GOT TO MEET MA AND PA.

Man: COME ON OVER, KIDS.

[CROWD WHISTLING AND CHEERING]

[BAND PLAYING]

Charles: HALF-PINT!

HOW YOU DOING? FINE.

HAVING A GOOD TIME? YEAH.

HAVE YOU SEEN MARY? WHERE IS SHE?

THERE SHE IS.

- OH! - IT'S ALL RIGHT.

HI, PA!

LAURA?

DON'T ASK.

COME ON.

OH, PA AND MA, IT WAS THE MOST EXCITING THING THAT'S EVER HAPPENED TO ME!

Charles: YOU WENT UP WITHOUT ASKING OUR PERMISSION, YOUNG LADY.

I KNOW, BUT I WAS HELPING CASS,

AND BEFORE I KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING,

THERE I WAS IN THE BASKET. BESIDES, YOU DIDN'T SAY NO,

AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE YOU WERE SO I COULD ASK YOU!

WELL, I SHOULD THINK THAT COMMON SENSE WOULD HAVE STOPPED YOU FROM GOING.

BUT CASS HAS BEEN UP THERE THOUSANDS OF TIMES, AND HE'S NEVER HAD ANY--

Cass: IT'S ALL MY DOING, SIR.

THE YOUNG LADY'S NOT TO BLAME.

ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF.

CASSIUS McCRAY, SIR, AT YOUR SERVICE.

MR. McCRAY, DO YOU DO THIS VERY OFTEN--

I MEAN, TAKE YOUNG LADIES UP WITHOUT ASKING THEIR PARENTS' PERMISSION?

WELL, THAT NEVER CROSSED MY MIND.

OH, IT'S WONDERFUL, PA.

IT'S SO QUIET UP THERE AND SO BEAUTIFUL.

I COULD SEE FARM AFTER FARM,

AND EVERYTHING WAS SO TINY.

ALL RIGHT. I SUPPOSE THERE'S NO HARM DONE.

I SHOULD THANK YOU, MR. McCRAY, FOR GIVING MY DAUGHTER SUCH A TREAT.

IT'S MY PLEASURE.

I WOULD LIKE HER TO ASSIST FOR THE REST OF THE DAY...

WITH YOUR PERMISSION?

OH, PA, MAY I?

ALL RIGHT, BUT NO MORE BALLOON RIDES.

THANK YOU, PA. THANK YOU, MA.

WELL, I'VE GOT TO GET TO THE PICKLE JUDGING.

WE'LL ALL GO. WIN OR LOSE,

I WANT TO EAT THOSE PICKLES.

OH, MY BABY!

OH, SHE'S ALL RIGHT.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

IT WAS ALL MY FAULT.

YOUR FAULT?

YEAH. I CUT THE ROPES ON THE BALLOON.

I DIDN'T KNOW SHE WAS IN THERE.

YOU CUT 'EM?

WHAT FOR?

WELL, I WAS MAD...

JEALOUS.

I'M SORRY.

SORRY WOULDN'T HAVE PATCHED THAT BALLOON IF YOU HAD TORN IT.

IT'S LUCKY FOR YOU IT'S ALL RIGHT,

OR I'D HAVE HAD YOUR SKIN FOR IT.

HE RISKED HIS LIFE TO SAVE IT.

NO, HE WASN'T TRYING TO SAVE THE BALLOON.

HE WAS TRYING TO BE A HERO.

AND ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS YOUR BALLOON.

WELL, YOU JUST GO TO YOUR BALLOON

AND LEAVE US ALONE.

COME ON.

HELLO.

- BYE. - BYE.

I WANT YOU TO STOP THAT THIS MINUTE!

DID YOU HEAR ME?

BYE.

Charles: I CAN'T FIND THAT DARN DOG ANYWHERE.

WELL, WE CAN'T LEAVE HIM HERE.

WELL, HALF-PINT, WE CAN'T LEAVE HIM HERE,

BUT WE CAN'T FIND OUR WAY HOME IN THE DARK, EITHER.

Carrie: BANDIT!
