girls. Youre kidding

You know Nancy? In the back of
a car first time I met her.

So you did do it? Had to
teach her a little bit.

Shes my best friend. What did
she say? About you, nothing at all.

Well she probably didnt say
anything because of her boyfriend.

Im really horny. Theres time
for that later.

I really am. Later.

How you like to get busted
week before grad?

You lack discipline.

Im gonna miss you in the fall McGregor.

Narcs are an endangered species.
Theyre not bright.

Instead of flying south they fly up
their own ass and mate with themselves

And what comes out. McGregor!

And if I catch you smoking dope around
campus, you ass is mine.

Are you crazy? These are precision
instruments you could snap a blade.

I didnt touch your machines.
You didnt?

I didnt come here to play games.
Then why did you come?

To point a killer at a finger. Go
ahead, everyone else in town has.

Maybe they know something.
They dont know nothing.

All the years I gave them
winners they loved me.

One accident where a child
gets a blood clot and

its my fault and lm out on my ass.

I say you got off easy.

Listen I didnt kill your sister.
I loved her.

Loved you lying bastard you
and your stupid track team.

I didnt kill anyone. I give my
life to Laura and all my kids.

I pushed them I yelled at them,
that didnt mean I didnt care.

I spent 4 years with Laura
I molded her I shaped her

She was precision she was power.

Like a machine?

Im sorry I have a lot to
do. Why did you come?

I came for an answer I think I got it

Well meet again Michaels

Yeah I guess we will.

Hey give me my ball.

Listen coach lm really
sorry I really am.

Coach Michaels looks like you
had yourself a pretty good deal.

Surrounded by all that fine young stuff.

You got lipstick on you.
To bad you blew it

Dont treat me like shit coach I
can hurt you bad. If I put my mind to it.

You son of a bitch.

whats wrong? Did I do something?

You know its a really nice night.

Must be nice to piss anywhere.

Im not saying youre right.

Of course she can come to that.
Shell be there at 4 o clock.

Shes not supposed to miss
graduation exercise.

Its miss Fisk she is fit to be tied.
Tony has not been home all night.

What does she want? She needs someone
to crab at and lm not important enough.

Why me I dont know where the damn
kid is. Tell her that shes on line 2.

Tell here what? If I knew Id
have your job.

I dont have the time just tell
her lm not here.

I do lots of things for you Mr.
Guglioni, but lying is not one of them

Hi Ms. Fisk. How are you,
yes I did hear.

Apparently some of the kids didnt
get home last night.

I am and lm not.

There good kids all of them.
All from the same track team.

I certainly would if the were mine.
I certainly will Ms. Fisk.

why are those little bastards
doing this to me.

This is their graduation not mine.
I am calling this all off.

I got a thousand people waiting for me.

Mr. Guglionis office hes right here.

I told you I didnt want to
speak to more people.

You tell the truth on your own time.

its Ms. Brentwood, Paulas mother
wants to talk to you.

Im not here Blondie, tell them
jokes tell them lies.

Just tell them to stop bugging me.

Mr. Guglioni? Who let you in?

From now on its fly or fall
on their own.

Their probably just raising hell.

Neither do I. Thats why lm here.

Hey chief. Whats the good word?

Wheres your badge?
I must have lost it.

Heres a list of home rooms,
check em out.

Got you covered. What if
theyre not there?

Then you write in your
report not there.

Should I look for them?

No McGregor were here to make
a report. Thats all.

About a bunch of irresponsible
inconsiderate kids,

about to fly out of their nest
and shit all over us.

So make your report and lets go.

I get Closter phobic just being
around schools.

Thats a good one.

Impressive isnt it?

Its too bad about coach Michaels.

Yes it is. It is a pity.
He was a fine coach.

Thats the way it is in public life.

Youre only as good as you last mistake.

Sobering thought isnt it?

How is your report going?
lm working on it.

Coach Michaels lm inspector Helliman.

Six seniors didnt make
it home last night.

Do you know anything about it?

You didnt see or hear anything
theres nothing you can tell me?

They were all on your track team.
I have no track team.

In case you hadnt heard lve
been canned. I heard.

If youll excuse me I have
to finish packing.

Ill see you at the graduation ceremony.

Theres no need to worry
mam, theyre probably out

planning a big graduation
day surprise. Thats all.

Joanne come here.

Look at this look.

Its blood.

What is it?

Im gonna make you pay Michaels.

You dont understand nothing.

Kevin you cant do this alone.

Theyre coming to get you.
Your killing days are over.

Everyone hes over here.

Inspector we have to find them.

Who are you whats your
stake in all this?

You dont understand I never
killed anyone. Its all a mistake.

I was there I saw you kill her.

What are you talking about?

You killed Laura you all killed her.

Now you all have to be punished.

You killed Sally.

Sally, Ralph, Diane, Paula, Tony, Pete.

All of them thats right.
They all had to punished.

30 seconds thats all it took.
Just 30 seconds.

Come on Laura. You can do it.

Just a little bit more, move your ass.

30 seconds. Then youre dead.

My whole life was changed
in just 30 seconds.

We were gonna be married the
day after graduation day.

Today Michaels!

Kevin are you alright?

He killed them.
I tried to get him to tell you.

Could you come to the
station and make a statement?

A statement of what?

A record of What happened,
what you saw what he said to you.

Try to make sense of this mess.

Ill go with you. No I dont
want you involved.

Did you ever see anything so awful?

You work with people day
after day week after week.

Month after month, year after year.

Could you get me Lauras trophy I
want it before I leave.

Lauras trophy? Kevin picked it up
today with Lauras diploma.

Are you sure?

This morning he said that you said
you wanted him to have it

Kevins not the type of boy
to lie is he?

No of course not, thank you.

Were getting married after
graduation just like we planned.

I though you loved her?

What kind of sister are you
shes your flesh and blood.

Laura loves peace and quiet.
Dont you sweat heart.

They were so awful to her.

They just stuck her in the
ground like she never existed.

Nobody would talk abut her.
You couldnt mention her name.

But I set them straight now theyre
all dead and gone.

Terrible I dont know what more to say.

Cant you stay longer.

I got to be on that plane
tomorrow morning

Im sorry mom I really am.

They took her from the grave.

What did you come here for?
Never nothing but trouble.

You woke up Anne in the
middle of the night.

Come on, everyone to bed now.

Forgive Ronald hes been
through a lot.

Sleep tight. Dont let the
bed bugs bite.

unadulterated been set before you

4 £ 9 shilling have been
pocketed what a take

Where have you been?

Having a drink with one of the lions

What do you think I've been doing?

We'd better start counting today's takings

I can't figure them out I
counted them ten times

Why ten times?

Wouldn't once be enough?

Not when it come down different every time,
and your wife is not a chartered accountant

I only asked you to do it as a favour

You're always asking favours

I'd done you a favour when I married you

Blimey

That's a fact and you know it so
I am William Wainwright,Colonel indeed

Doesn't mean a thing,doesn't mean a
thing,that's just showmanship

False pretences

What about Lord George Zankhurst

That's different,he was christened
Lord it was his name

How do you know I wasn't
christened Colonel?

Doubt that you were christened at all

Now look her,Madam, are
you inferring that I am

Yes I am,better check over
tonight's viewings

All right,all right

I am constantly on someone
did something on this table

-It rocks
-I know it rocks

One of the legs is shorter than the other

Come on,you surprise me

-This chair
-Equal

Everything rocks

The show rocks

Better pick up that money

I got to see about supper

Married to a woman who
can't do super arithmetic

Your turn Mr Danton

Just making up the gross

Under 12 £ that's not the A business,Willie

We're all doing our best

For the show that's novelty

Supper is ready Colonel Wainwright

Supper,supper. Can't you think
anything else but my stomach

Isn't it time for you to
introduce Tom and Mary?

I'm sorry, finances is
making me forgetful

You know Mr Danton,Sir, my heart bleeds

Yeah, you don't look very anaemic to me

Willie,tell the gang I want to see
them all right after the show

All right

Ladies and Gentlemen

The most daring,the most brilliant,
the most inspired act presented

Two young acrobats as they are guarded by (?)
ladies and gentlemen,the flying aerials

Boss wants to see everyone after the show

What's does this mean?For a look?

I don't know doesn't mean a thing

Come on get to move everybody,

Come along,come along

This way

This way out please

He's got to whistle about,
he doesn't realize poor fellow

Are you the boss?

Well to a certain extent,
that's to say I'm a

Are you the boss?

He's not the boss and he's not a colonel

Where will I find the boss?

Well,I'm his raving old manager
you might say,what do you want?

A job

What a hope,we are not hiring,we are firing

Will he want a job too?

Subject to all what the takings were

I will be willing to work for my keep

It's no good,old man

What's that?

A mirror

What's it for?

Four for a shilling

Now come on,come on

Are you going to be all night on the job?
Don't keep the governor waiting

Well folks,my brother and I called you here

and I suppose you know the reason why

We are broke that's nothing
new in our business

but when it happens

The show usually folds up and the
boys and girls go their different ways

Once in a while you were able to pull
out but that was only once in a while

You weren't paid today because
there was nothing to pay you with

We have to feed the animals

Now we could carry on to the next
stand but there's no ready cash

Now let's face it

We can keep going on the hope

or I can write out a flock of IOUs we
can all turn around and head for home

Now it's up to you,what about it?

Shorty got no hope

-Let's keep going
-I'm sticking to you

Well, we are now all in this
together I'll let you know my plans

-When we get to the next stop
-Boss

That lion he broke lose

All the women get your men

Hans,Droopy get them quick behind him

I'm sick

Get back

Pasha

Quiet

Quiet

Poor Pasha

I am Torg

I am your friend

Now lie down

Down,down,down

Down,down

Good Pasha

Soon we shall go to our cage

What a good fellow is Pasha

Yes,what a good fellow Pasha,yes

Yes,yes,yes

Ladies and Gentlemen let
me introduce two friends

Mr Pasha and Mr Torg

It's terrific how do you do it?

Oh ,it's very simple,I make them obey
my eyes,make them like my voice

and then they do what I want them to

You mean you kept them hypnotized?

Hypnotized

Hypnotized? That's something new

A perfect stunt

I'm getting a new trainer and
I have an idea who it is going to be

How do you mean? This fellow?

That's the guy

"Pasha I'm you friend"

Certainly a new way of taming lions

I never saw anything worse
so wonderful in my life

Pasha fell in love with him

Phil,I got a marvellous idea

We know,we know

Now listen,the show is dying,we
need novelty,something new

-Smashing
-Sensational

-I'm going to crash
-Calm,calm yourself

Thanks very much

Now listen,Phil,Mary,Tom

I'm going to crash the local
writers with this lion story

A lot of the boys have already
seen what's happened

and the news will soon get round

and then then may that lead
that's (?) for buddies

We put Torg into the show with the lions

-You know,I think it's pretty good,Phil
-Just a minute

I got a better idea

And it depends on Torg

It depends on whether Torg is
just the man from nowhere

with a gift of controlling animals

or whether he has the
gift of controlling people

-What are you trying to get at?
-Hypnotism in the slide for life

Mary what are you doing in your act?

Don't be silly,Phil,you all know what I do

Tell us what you do

Well,I get up to a platform
on top of the high wire

listen to Willie below me

and get on to the wire with my back
to the ground hold my little parasol

and slide safety down to earth

And why do you hold your parasol?

To keep my balance you half-wit

-And if you didn't have it?
-Curtains for Mary

Unless something or
someone takes it's place

Oh I get it now

Mary does her act holding a dame
today's handkerchief in one hand

half of hundred weight of coal in
the other just to keep her balance

If you are going to rip me for
having a swell idea,Good Night

-Phil I got you
-What are you crazy too?

Just a minute,Tom,both
serious we'll try to help

Thanks Mary

What I'm trying to explain is

I believe it might be possible for
Torg to control Mary's balance

in the act through hypnotism

Ah,that's another fraud(?)

Is it? They do it on the stage

Yeah,I know makes the unfortunate guy
drinking Killerman's Port very funny

There's a lot in it I can tell you

Torg

Somebody find him for me

OK gov

Anybody know where this chap came from?

Oh,he just came around
looking for job I suppose

and ended with this stuff with Pasha

I wonder if it can be done

The idea,Phil

It's an exciting idea

If it works what a build up

We got the puppy to prove
that he is on the level

they saw it work with Pasha,didn't they?

It's a great idea

Yes,if it works

You send for me,Sir?

Yes,come in

Have a drink?

I do not drink,thank you

Where do you come from?

Oh nowhere

What have you been doing?

Nothing

-Are you looking for a job?
-Yes,Sir,any kind of job

Are you an animal trainer?

Oh no I'm just anything

-No trade?
-No

I manage to get along

That hypnotism act you just did with
Pasha can you do that with human beings?

Oh yes

On the level?

You doubt my word?

Oh no no man

what the governor really means is
that he's found a new ticket in you

That's putting it rather crude
but I suppose you're right

And you think I might be able to help you?

We want to cash in on this
hypnotic powers of yours

No one seems to have cashed in on them yet

I haven't commercialised myself yet

No,that's obvious

I am in the way,excuse me

-Good Night
-Wait please Mr Torg

Won't you sit down?

Thank you

Let me explain

Have you ever seen an
act called the slide to life?

You mean the one with the wire?

Yes

Well,Tom and I do that act,I run the
wire and Tom catches me at the finish

I carry a parasol for balance

The boys suggest you try to the hypnotism
to make me do the slide without the parasol

Somebody has a brainwave

It was the governor

But I do not know whether
Miss Mary is a good subject

No why not find out now

The whole damned thing is unhealthy

Listen,Tom,this is for all our sakes

If Miss Mary is willing why
not show us something?

I'm perfectly willing

-Then with your permission
-Not mine

Tom please this is my affair

Now look into this little mirror

Just try to make your mind a blank

Think of nothing

Nothing

Imagine space

Emptiness

Dark

Look into my eyes

Lip

Lip

I am Torg

How am I?

Torg

Say I trust you

I trust you

Miss Mary

You cannot lift your right arm

It is heavy

As heavy as lead

Now,Sir,will you try to
lift Miss Mary's arm?

Sure that's a hard one

This whole bluffly nonsense has got to stop

Why? Of Course

Miss Mary

Your arm is normal

Now wake up

Wake up

-Hello everyone
-Mary,are you all right?

Of course I feel fine how was it?

It works

It certainly does

It's very well unhealthy I tell you

It's downside more unhealthy
to be out of a job

Tom,you got to admit that

I won't admit it

Have you used as a medium
for some tramp,yes

Tom you're behaving like a child

Listen if Mary is willing to take
the risk that ends the argument

We can try it out anyway with a safety net

And if doesn't work it
doesn't work so what?

I'm quite willing

Thank you for your confidence

That's settled it

You three can have a work out
tomorrow morning in the big top

I still don't like it

Oh,don't you,well I do

Oh governor will I go to tavern with a
publicity stunt or will I go to town

Oh go to hell

There is no need for you all standing
around watching this rehearsal

Get on with your work,you'll see
the act when it's all set

Now you heard what the governor said
there is no need to hang about

watching the rehearsal get
on with your work

Stop that the boss said all that

Phil I'm actually down to show (?)
and the boys and girls and the (?)

but I repeat I'm rehearsing
this stunt under protest

I won't let anybody take a risk,
particularly,Miss Mary

So Mr Danton is having the net put up

That's right,Teddy Bill
fix up the safety net

-Right Sir
-Come on ,let's clear out

But you can't do the show with the net

But we will rehearse several
times to have the show perfected

-Will that relieve your anxiety?
-No

I'm still not sold on this hokum

I'm sure Mary can't do it
without the parasol

We shall see

Well,haven't we better stop talking
about it and get on with the job?

Phil, my dear I was nervous as
if I was going to do it myself

I think I shall step out
and get a little air

No you don't besides they are not open yet

I can assure you that I've

You can't

In that case is

Nothing more to be said

Excuse me,governor,let's get out of the way

Tom you stand at the end at
the end of the wire over there

OK

Well,Torg we are in your hands

Thank you

I shall stand on that
platform facing Miss Mary

Who will be under my control

With my influence she will have perfect
balance until the slide has been completed

We hope

There is nothing like confidence and
you got plenty of that

Mary

-Are you sure?
-I shall be all right

Go,Torg

Phil if this comes off

I worked out the most sensational
bill (?) you'd ever seen

The public will start paying
before the posters are out

Let's see if it does work first

You ain't sling out and make mistake

you don't give a dare if that
crashes for long as it's used

I like that,I'm a publicity man

You're pain in my neck

Hear,hear

I've seen you as soon as look at
you you pompous fat little baloney

Oh no you won't if anybody
kins him it'll be me

Thanks

-Now look here,
-Cut it out

-You fixed?
-No problems,Sir

You all set

OK boss

Are you ready?

Now Mary

Look at this

And keep on looking at it

You have utter and complete
confidence in me

You trust me,don't you?

Yes

Me Torg

No other mind

Can ever dominate you

No other living person can
have any influence upon you

You will only hear my voice

All other voices and sounds
will not exist for you

You are at peace

Now Mary

You are going to do your wire slide now
without any balancing control but mine

Open your eyes,open your eyes

You are confident

I am confident

Now get on to the wire

Go

He's right,she's done it

Got a match,chum

I have not and my name
is not Chum it's Torg,Mr Torg

I can take care of myself

That is right,talk of the devil

You were talking about me?

-We were
-I'm honoured

I was just saying how dangerous it might
be having pet mesmer about the place

I'm not a pet mesmer I am a specialist

What are you BTW?

I'm a sharp shooting act
and a pretty good one

You have no ill effects of our experiment

None whatever

Good I knew you wouldn't

Miss Mary

I feel that this is just the beginning

You've got a quite an idea
about this haven't you?

Yes

Good Morning

You know Mary a little while ago
that was begging for work

So conceited a man

Hypnotism

Breathtaking,spellbinding,colossal

-How many ls in colossal
-One

Like in Colonel

Enabled been used before

Why can't I think about other
highly coloured words?

Public don't want highly coloured words,
it's not the kind of public we play to

They must be educated up to a
higher standard,after all I'm an artist

-Hm
-Why hm?

You're going to give me
an inferiority complex

Before I know where I am I shall
find myself in the other place

What's that you are drinking?

This? Well,it's a bit of effect as a tonic,
I've been feeling a bit run down lately

and doctor,a very nice fellow,
he recommended this in case of (?)

Give it to me

See for yourself it's a medicine
bottle doesn't mean a thing

Give it to me

Gin

Easy,easy what a wicked waste,I call that..

I know what it cost and
I need new (?)

If ever I catch you squandering our money
again on alcohol,Colonel Wainwright

I shall thrash you

-Somebody throwing a pint
-No,Sir

Eve's been throwing her temperament

Temperance,William,not temperament

-Willie it seems to you're henpecked
-Henpecked?

Blimey I got chicken pox

I do not see the announcement for
Miss Mary and Torg ready for tonight

No,I can't bring sufficient eugenic words

-Eulogistic
-Eulogistic

That's it

Dr Stephen Torg

And stress on the deed
Dr Stephen Torg and Miss Mary

and move up the fourth sensation
in the backspace and (?) and carry on

There you are

Yes,not bad,not bad but I
don't like the colour scheme

get on to Bellow and tell him to
meet me alone at lunchtime

I want to have a chat with him

Hello news editor,news editor,
this is Powers no no Powers

P for power O for Oliver W for warder E
for Edward R for Robert S for Samuel

A moment please,Duncan Circus

Miraculous is the word,gentlemen

Now this isn't sales talk bigger
men than Phil Danton

have spend a lifetime searching the
world for sensational novelties

but I promise you that after you've
seen tonight's performance

you will all agree with me

that no one in any show business has
staged a more breathtaking spectacle

This is fact not fiction

Well, Ladies and gentlemen
here's to the show

-When is the big stuff
-After the Rico act

and if you don't tell me it's
the best act ever I'll eat this hat

Ladies and Gentlemen I like to
introduce to my governor Mr Phil Danton

Gentlemen,Miss Mary Mr Tom
Danton and Dr Stephen Torg

Well Mr Danton,I understand you've
got a very sensational act

You're right there is not
another act in the country like it

What did I tell you

That must be a very comforting
part to any show

Well I've been looking for a novelty like
this for years,it certainly comforts me

Ladies and Gentlemen

Sorry,sorry

Boys and girls

My friends

That's the eight (?) words

Order

I wish to propose a health to
our dear governor Phil Danton

Will you love him?

And apart from any personal
interest you may have

we're all delighted that
fortune has smiled upon us

I remember many years
ago when I was a lad

What a memory

When I was a lad I heard a funny little
story which I think will bear repeating

It appeared that there
was a commercial traveller

That's enough you've been drinking

What do you expect me do
at a party,die of thirst?

-It proposes
-That's all right Willie,that's all right

I appreciate you proposing my health

but I feel we should thank the real
founders of this feat,Mary and Torg

Of course Tom

Oh,forget it

The success of this new act
has put us all on our feet

so boys and girls I ask you
raise your glasses and drink

to the long life and the good fortune of
our Mary and our very welcome stranger Torg

Mary and Torg

Oh,we mustn't forget the
brain to the outlet?

the greatest publisher man in
the business Jimmy Powers

Doesn't mean a thing,doesn't mean a thing

Gag pincher

-First dance is ours,isn't it?
-Yes

Oh,I'm so sorry I promised this one to Torg

Torg?

Fast work,isn't it?

After all he is new at Maxies I think we
ought to make him feel at home

-Sure,anything you say
-You don't mind,do you?

What is the mind? Of course I don't

-Excuse me
-Go ahead

Peeling some?

You're knocking them
back a bit aren't you Dora?

Keep those nerves steady of yours
for that shooting act you know

My nerves are all right
(?)nerve I worry about

-Whose?
-Can't you guess?

Listen Jimmy, I trucked around with Phil
Danton for years because I wanted to

It's the first time he has enough
money to throw a party

-I suppose I ought to be glad
-But aren't you glad?

No,I don't like the way
the success has come

You mean the new act?

I mean Mr Torg,I don't like him
Jimmy gives me the creep

Can't explain why I'm not afraid
about what he might do to the show

he sure can take care of himself,
it's Mary I worry about

I don't want that kid to
pay for our success

Come on Dora you had a couple of too many

It's time like these when I speak
the truth,get me another drink

Hello Dora enjoying yourself?

I'm not sure

What's the matter?

That guy gonna call you trouble

Don't be silly

His act is sensational

I'm not talking about the act

No,you are talking about me aren't you?

Yes, as a matter of fact,I am

I don't like you

At least that's frank I appreciate it

I do not like the doctor Fell
the reason why I cannot tell

-Remember that jingle
-I'm not familiar with it

You should be

Come on Dora snap out of it

All right Phil just admit it

I got nothing against you but
I got a feeling right inside me

that it was a bad day for the show and
worse one for Mary when you came around

Dora be quiet,you don't know
what you are talking about

Don't I? You wait

Strike up the music,
come on,we'll dance this

Shall we? If you excuse us

By all means

Well,well,well, the lady gunman you
certainly shot the worst last night

Now listen,Dora,Torg is our
meal ticket,you got to lay that at him,he's

-Dangerous?
-Dynamite,thanks

Hey Phil

Here

I just left the press boys,we got the
headline Torg he's the whole works

What?

I mean you him and Mary

Just a minute I'm running my own show

I know Phil I know I'm
only trying to help you

Listen that's venomous
sprain down in a second

What a brainwave

Why don't you think of something new

That's reminds me I have
got something new,come over here

-What is it?
-A laughing sailor

I got it from some West Work show

-Did you fix it Harry?
-Yes,it's OK-Good

What do you think of it?

What does he do?

-It laughs
-I can't hear anything

Of course you can't you fatheaded,
it isn't switched on yet

-What did you pay for it?
-25 £

25 £? We could start another
circus with that

How does it work?

You switch it on from
the back try it for him

He's talking

Better get strung

What do you think we should call him?

Jolly Jack Corn

-Hello
-Hello Mr Danton

Cigarette?

You satisfied with everything?

Sure I've nothing to complain about

Pretty good eh?

Cheap

It cost 25 £

Cheap publicity

I am the attraction

And I am not satisfied

Meaning?

Can we go and talk inside?

Come in

How much do you want?

It isn't that exactly

No then what is it?

Recognition

I like more recognition

Recognition? Get Powers to rake up a
story about you he's my press agent

Not from the public,one has that

I'd like more recognition from
the people in this circus,Mr Danton

And respect

Respect?

That's something we all have to earn

After all I buy my people services
not their freedom of thought

You mean I enable you to buy their services

Listen,Torg,if you are trying
to put a gun in my rib

The gun is already there Mr Danton
I'm trying not to pull the trigger

All right

What's your proposition?

Oh,it's not very difficult
I'd like to be your partner

You would,eh?

On what terms?

I leave to you I'm not a businessman

Tom is in our mission,you know

That's for me but you are the boss

Don't ever forget that

Of course not

I have the power to command success,
Mr Danton,I can do a lot for you and Mary

-And Tom
-And Tom,actually

We mustn't forget Tom

You'll think it over?

Yes,I'll think it over

-Torg
-Thank you

Tonight we shall have good
business,you'll wait and see

Torg

Come on

Take your hands off her
unless you want trouble

Trouble? You behaved foolishly

I could take a sock at you right now

Don't,for heavens sake be quiet

You should keep out of this

You are in trouble already
working with this slug

Get in there

Burt?

I'd like you to be careful

And I advise you to keep a nose
out of my business and Mary's

Everything was OK until you showed up

-Except that you were starving
-Stop it both of you,the show

To hell with the show

no one got the guts to rub
the thing out I'll do it myself

Just a minute

I'll settle this,get out Mary

Now get this you two

One more of this brawls and
you through both of you

I don't care what happens to the show

You are supposed to be
troopers don't forget that

Now get back on the job

OK you're the boss

-And as for you,Torg
-I agree with you Mr Danton

It is bad policy in
front of the customers

And the name is Mr Torg

Like to see some action

I seemed to have heard
that somewhere before

What do you want?

Only to say that I am sorry

I'm sorry about

Tonight I should have had more sense

Right I had just forgotten about it

No you haven't

-I know you haven't
-Do you?

You seem to know a great deal

Yes,a great deal

Even your thoughts

Please go away

That wouldn't make any difference,Mary

because even if I went away,
you would not be alone

I am your friend,you need
never be afraid of me

I'm not afraid

You are cold

No

No I think it must have been
someone walking over my grave

How many have you get done?

What did you say?

You heard your voice is terrible

Ghastly

If a bloke likes to be happy
you give him the bird

Blimey Jolly Jack talk

I wonder who he
hypnotised to get back

-Some poor girl they (?) him?
-Did he court her with a whistle?

-That's a nice bit of stuff
-Pretty hard

Did you? I didn't know you
were in tailoring game

Where is the (?)? How much is to
speak when I'm talking old boy

More than you or this riff raff can afford

Now look here

Willie come here and finish the washing up

Where is Miss Mary?

In the big top working

Dressed to kill aren't you?

I know how I'd like to kill

As a lady killer you would be a scream

I think they don't like him on the pictures

-Mary?
-Hello

My goodness me you are a swell

I've been doing a little refitting

I thought that I deserved now
that we are in the money

Where did you get that suit?

The only one if you star on it the
band to play Yankee Doodle

As a comedian you are a very fine acrobat

I have invested in something else too

Sounds exciting what is it?

Outside I'll show you

-That is the investment
-Yes,do you like her?

It's lovely but isn't it rather
extravagant and unnecessary?

It cost 40 £ and I think it
is very necessary

Why?

Oh to satisfy my ego I guess

This crowd of troopers are little envious

Call it conceit if you like

But I'm sick of being treated like a tramp

Don't you think that maybe
a little your fault?

After all you are not exactly
what you call a good mixer

There is something crispy

They don't talk my language you know

But I think you understand me

Yes I think I do a little

Listen, one night this week after the show

will you let me drive you into the town,
will you have supper with me?

Very sweet of you but really it's so
late when the show finishes

Mary have you forgotten that you
have to do a show tonight?

I think you mean we have got to do a show

All right we've got to do a show,
Mary has to take the physical risks

We've got 20 minutes for rehearsal

I've done enough rehearsing,see you
later and thanks for the invitation

Will you come?

I certainly think about it

What's all this about an invitation?

-My business
-Is it?

It's my business too and
I hate to see you

You all seem to hate that little
man for no apparent rhyme or reason

Just as the fact that you resent
his having put butter on our bread

make a success for we won
the biggest slots in the business

I think most of us prefer the
bread without the butter

You are jealous that's your trouble

Maybe I am at that?

Mary, look I know that we are not
actually engaged but bit was understood

It was understood that you
should run my life for me

Well,what's the trouble?

The usual trouble your wide headed boy Torg

What's he done now?

Apart from causing hell's delight between
Mary and me,nothing absolutely nothing

Never ever do a stroke of work

Never puts his weight with
packing,tent directing or clearing up?

Now,if you please,he is swanking
around in a second hand car

All right he is on the fare,Tom

Shirking work is not, it's mine or
everybody else's around here

you making him a partner
without even consulting me,OK

but why do you think he isn't milled
from ordinary spot of hard work

Just a minute,don't get excited,
I agree with everything you say

But if we throw him out what
happens to the show?It falls out

I know same line of talk that
Mary has been giving me

Sure,she's got sense,now Tom,we are
partners you the artist I'm the businessman

I don't know if I expect you to
realize why I do certain things

but sometimes it pays to
give in to the other guy

I do ask that you let me
handle the business end

After all I have our interest
at heart,you know that

All I know that we were happy
before Master Torg came along

I wish we never set eyes on him

This is lovely

Very lovely

It was a heavenly supper

I was right wasn't I?
The restaurant was good

And cheap

I don't know so much about being cheap

I couldn't help seeing the bill

I spread myself

What is the expression?

I went to town

After all tonight is a special occasion

Oh is it?

Why? Your birthday?

In a way it is

Tonight I was reborn,to a new world

Keep my time happy

You did that for me

Haven't you ever been happy before?

I nearly was

Once

Tell me about yourself

You're interested?

Of course after all you
walked into our lives

Nobody from nowhere as you put it

Anybody would be interested
especially a woman

But I don't want any
woman to be interested

Only you

All right then,relieve my morbid curiosity

As a boy I

My home was not a happy place

I was sent to school,a charity school

I was small the other boys were
big and the made my life a misery

Physically I couldn't compete with them

But mentally

Yes

I run away,starved got
odd jobs here and there

until one day I discovered
that I had a gift

Great gift

I could control animals

They obeyed me

They were frightened of me

And I revelled in the power I had

You know,Mary,it's a great thing power

Makes you feel a king

Specially if all your life you've
been made to feel a beggar

I am so sorry

Yes,I could control animals by my will

So,I said to myself,if animals why not men

Men and women that high
up form of animal life

You haven't much time
for humanity,have you?

I hate it

At least I hated until

I love you Mary,you see I mean I love you

If I'm walked and bitter it's only because
fate has kicked me around

But you can make me happy

You can give me peace

I'm sorry Torg

I'm very sorry

It's Tom isn't it?

Yes,it's Tom

Deep in my heart I know it'll be always Tom

I understand

We are still friends aren't we?

Yes,we are still friends

I suppose we'd better go home

Yes

Let's go home

-This is the last drawer Bill
-OK

There is another night

the eighth wonder of the world as
everybody to share of the work

Only this time he's taken Mary with him

I'll talk to him

Talk good better firing him

Because he is the difference between
prosperity and our packing up

I'd rather join the breadline
than tell you that little rat

Yes,so would I

That's easy talk I lay even money you'd
change your tune when Torg walked out on it

You're right I change to Hallelujah

But I'm surprised that Mary,she must
know the amount of work there is to be done

Doesn't mean a thing,she'd
probably didn't notice the time

She probably did

You might no excuse me the
blooming swank like hog the two things

Now here they are,there he is

Heavens they are packing

You know this is the first time
I have never done my work

I take full responsibility

I am nobody so selfish I hate it

Run along and start packing

You can make peace with them later

Busy?

What did you say you'll
do for two pence,William?

Yes my dear

Now look here Mr Torg

you know as well as I do that we
all have to pull together in this game

But you with your blooming
la-di-da,big cigar and motorcar

who do you ruddy well think you are?

One of your bosses

Hey

Is it right governor?

Haven't you told them?

Yes he is right,I made him a
partner,he has a shared interest

But why? What for?

Because my fat friend

I'm a considerable asset of
this show you remember that

and also remember that
ringmasters are five a penny

Where do you think you're
going? Where is Mary?

In the ramp

I gave her a good meal

and a rather short respite from
this somewhat tawdry atmosphere

Why you

-Hypnotize that one
-What a beauty

Oh boy why the hell didn't
you control yourself

He had that coming through for a long time

Come on go on with your
jobs everybody keep busy

That goes for you too,Torg

Well you don't stand there like a
stuffed owl get on with your work

I'll remember that

Tom give him a hand

You made Torg a
partner,that's grand

before you know where you are

you had your out in your ears

the bearings without his own

That was you think

Torg,partner

Torg,threatening to sack me

Me,who has been with this outfit for
I don't know how many years

If Tom hadn't done it I'd struck him myself

Why didn't you?

Get sacked

You make me thick

You

Oh leave me

Hello Mary

Cold? Nervous?

No

Oh yes I think you are little tired

But what?

I'll be watching you

Come I want to talk to you

-No Torg please I'd
-Come

Yes,Mary I've been watching
you and you are tired

You wouldn't go on if you
had your choice,would you?

-I suppose everyone
-Would you?

Turn and look at me

It is true isn't it? We would like to rest

Yes

Tonight on the trapeze you will be tired

Yes

When you are swinging with
your head downwards

Ready to catch Tom

You will be so tired

Say it

I will be so tired

You will not be able to hold him

Remember that

Yes

You must remember

I must remember

Now Mary

You will know nothing
of this talk,will you?

Nothing

There you are Mary,you'll be on in a minute

Yes Willie

Hello Kid

-Hello
-You've been talking with Torg

-Yes
-What has he been saying to you?

Mary I asked you what
Torg had been saying

-Something about..
-Yes?

Something about

-We are on
-Just a minute Tom

Sorry we are on

And now ladies and gentlemen

I have the honour of introducing

the celebrated Miss Mary
and her partner Tom Danton

The only performance in this country

Who worthy of the dizzy heights

Perform the most amazing
aerial feat without a net

Miss Mary and Tom Danton

I don't like it,I don't like it

What's wrong?

Mary I think

-OK Mary pull me up
-I can't Tom I'm tired

Come on,come on

Something haywire

-I can't hold you
-Try,try

I'm tired

Why didn't she pull him up?

She can't

-Get the net,get the emergency net
-Get the net,get the emergency net

Likely both of them crash

-Only 2 minutes please Mr Danton
-Thank you

Hello,Tom,how do you feel?

Oh,how is Mary?Where is she?

She is all right

Look Phil you've got
tell me did Mary fall too?

She is all right I tell you she didn't fall

She'll be here to see you
later on,don't you worry

I was so scared when she said
she was tired and couldn't hold me

-That's why I had her let go
-What?

It was no need for both of us to fall

She was so weak

Wait a minute Mary said
she couldn't hold on

Of course she was worn
over rehearsed I guess

-My fault
-Your fault?

We must let him rest now,Mr Danton

All right

Well,Tom anything you want?

No,just give my love to Mary

I will

Thank you

-Mary
-Who is it?

-Phil
-Oh come in

I want to talk to you

How is Tom?

Quite tough,but I guess he'll be all right

Phil

I'm going to find out just how
this accident happened

So suppose you tell me just how
my brother happened to fall

I told you I don't know

You still don't know

You were up holding him,why don't you know?

I just don't,Phil,it seems sort of a blank

Then why did you tell him
you couldn't hang on?

I didn't tell him that

Tom said that you did

I couldn't have said that

I have no reason to doubt Tom

I tell you the whole thing is just a blank

So you said

Honestly I just don't know how it happened

You knew enough to
hang on yourself,didn't you?

Yes

Perhaps you were a bit
absent-minded thinking about Torg

Phil don't talk like that

First and now I talk in anyway I like

I'll tell the world,I'll take a page
out in every (?) paper

so everybody will know just
what kind of a double crosser you are

believe me if you're to work again

That's enough Phil come
on here and talk to me

Well what do you want?

Calm yourself Phil this is not
the way to clear it up

So I'm wrong again

What's gotten into all of you?

A rotten influence called Torg

You know that,you shut your
eyes to it because of the show

This guy got you all scared,don't you
know he is just putting on an act?

This is no act Phil it's on the level

Sure it's on the level

While they are working?

On the level all the time

What are you getting at?

Mary is under Torg's control
anytime he chooses

I believe it's through him that Tom crashed

How can that be?

His more in this than we realize

I am a woman I feel the influence
of this man,it's uncanny

-Oh,nonsense
-Don't be be so stupid,Phil?

You've got to do something

He's dangerous

If I thought you were halfway right

OK I'll handle this

Torg

Hey Torg

-I want to talk to you
-Yes

I want to find out what caused Tom's fall

Why ask me,Mr Danton?

Because I think you know

Indeed,your intelligence surprises me

Just a moment I have a hunch you're
working everything for your own end

And that goes for Mary too

since Tom isn't here to speak for himself
I'm doing the talking for him

Now listen Torg

it maybe easy for you to put
the influence on a young girl

but you are not putting the influence on me

Don't yell at me

I'll yell at you,I'll speak to
you in anyway I like

I have a hell of good mind
to chuck you right out of you

Just try

Why you slimy little

-Here again,
-Take it easy governor

Take it easy

-Don't allow to speak to yourself
-Don't lose our nerve

OK you can let me go

Get this,pack up and get out

Get out while you are still able

All right Mr Danton I'll go

But in my own time

Where are you off to?

Going to the hospital to see Tom

Poor boy

Give him my love and ask him
if there's anything he wants

-I will
-You know it one shop

-Remember that
-I will

-And don't come back smelling of beer
-I won't

What are you laughing at?

Danton Empire Circus

-Everything all right
-Yes

What are you going?

To say good bye to Phil

I must do that

Of course you must go along

Where are you going?

I'm leaving with Torg

But I couldn't go without
saying good bye,Phil

Mary,any argument I have
with Torg doesn't include you

What makes you think you ought to quit?

It's not with I think I'll quit but

If Torg leaves there won't be any act

I can't work without him

Listen Mary I'm your friend but
at the same time I'm your boss

You got to work with anyone I say

I know Phil

Let's try to get these things straight

Get on with your work everybody

Listen Torg

You can't take my people away like this

I? What is to do with me

If I went alone she would follow

Wouldn't you?

Yes

You see

-Are you ready Mary?
-Wait a minute

Yes Mr Danton ready to talk business?

Yes I'm afraid I'm ready to talk business

Because I don't want to lose Mary

May I remind you that Mary
is nothing without me?

Yeah I get that

Then shall we both be reasonable?

OK we'll be reasonable

Carry on as you were we
short of forget the whole thing

All right

For this time we will forget it

You don't know what you are getting down to

I guess you're right

That's not the way to handle it

-Oh Mary used to be such a swell kid
-Used to be?

She still is

Yeah,then why is she let a slug like Torg
run her around,it doesn't make sense

Listen,Phil

just because we don't understand it
doesn't mean it can't be explained

Now if you got something
wrong with your eyes

you'd go to an eye
specialist wouldn't you?

Of course

Well if you got something
wrong with your mind

You mean that Mary

No,no it's (?) that way

Oh Phil she's got to see a doctor

See a doctor?

She's seeing plenty of one now

Dr Stephen Torg

Let's judge it, we got to
do something about it

As efficaciously Phil

Yes, an expert on the mind,a psychiatrist

But Torg's act is 100 % my show

If he should

Yes but it's what his influence
is doing outside the show,Phil

Listen Phil

Tom crashes

Torg makes you give him
an interest in the business

he tries to get Mary to
run away with him

There has been nothing but
trouble ever since he came here

Where do we find this specialist?

Mary,Dr Wilson here is a psychiatrist

he is very interested in hypnotism
he's heard a lot about your act

I very much like to have a talk
with you,Miss Mary if I may?

By all means

What do you want to know?

I'll leave you two alone,
I'll have a cigarette

-Do sit down,won't you?
-Thank you

Tell me Miss Mary do you feel any ill
effects on these performances of yours?

No not at all

And when you are performing are you
aware of what you are doing all the time?

-Yes
-All the time?

Yes,except of course during the act,
then I'm controlled by Stephen

-Dr Torg
-Oh he is a doctor is he?

Well we call him one

I see

An you don't know what you are really
doing when you are under his control?

No but of course

I don't have to worry about anything
my partner does that for me

I quite appreciate that

You don't find yourself in any way
resenting this hypnosis?

Good gracious no,why should I?

After all I never after anything personally

Besides he's most considerate

Splendid you are very fortunate Miss Mary

Does Dr Torg use anything like this?

Yes he does

Do you mind looking into it for a moment?

I'm quite used to this
sort of thing you know

I suppose you are

Now this may make you feel a little sleepy

Are you little sleepy?

Not in the least I'm sorry

Please concentrate

You can sleep you know

You can close your eyes

That's all right Miss Mary,thank you,
that's all I wanted to know

I'm quite satisfied

I'm glad you are satisfied Dr

-You,I take it are Dr Stephen Torg
-Yes,how do you do

I meant to state
in this alleged control

you have over Miss Mary here

So a lot of other people ,Dr

And it is not only alleged

there is a complete and absolute
as you of all people should realize

Indeed

What are you doing here?

Oh I've been eavesdropping

-I'm not surprised,get out
-Certainly

Mary

Just a moment,Mary, I want to talk to you

Mary

-What can we do?
-Nothing I'm afraid

-Are you sure of that?
-Reasonably sure

But supposing I took her to see
Tom,after all they were in love

if she saw him lying there
all banded up that might help?

Yes it might it can't do any harm anyway

I can't say what the result would be,
but yes I should take her to see him

This control issue you call it, is it just
going on and on nothing that can stop it?

It's obviously a case of
willing co-operation

and no other control can intervene

If Torg should die what
would happen to Mary?

In that case she pass
into a state of hypnosis

which would gradually
merge into a natural sleep

on awakening she would remember nothing
about it and become her normal self again

-Thank you,Sir
-Not at all

-Mary?
-Hello Tom how are you?

She is here at last

Mary what's wrong?

Tom I

I so wanted to see you

Have you?

It's been a long time,isn't it?

Yes

I suppose it has

Mary isn't well,Tom,I think it's a reaction

There's no need to worry
I'm going to get better

I'm so glad

Well,that's fine

Listen,dear

If there's anything on your mind,
something that's worrying you

you want to tell me you'd better say so,
I think I'll understand

Listen

There's something I want to say

Yes?

I

I

Please leave me alone I don't want to talk

Don't worry,I understand all right

You don't

Listen Tom

Mary is trying to say that she hasn't
changed her mind about anything

isn't that so,honey?

We mustn't stay too long in here

You'd better take her away,
Phil,she wants to go

Stephen would be angry if I'm late

Stephen ? Torg

So that's it,isn't it?

Why don't you come right out and say so

Listen I'm trying to tell you

she can't help it,it isn't her
fault,can't you get that?

You must both think I am pretty dumb

Good Bye I had enough

Come on Mary

Mary?

Ladies most sensational
most colossal new improved work

Ladies and Gentlemen

Introducing Torg and Dantons circus

Ladies and Gentlemen,the Settler's trio,
Anglo American Skating act

That's return,Sir

525£ what a (?)

Yes certainly we did very well

-Yeah we are doing very well
-Good Night,Sir

-Good Evening
-Hello,George

Hello there

Tom

Why we all saw it so,good to see you

here sit down,take the load off you please

I told you I'd come back didn't I?

How are you?

Fine but how are you that's more important

Pretty good have to go around
with this stick for a while

but they tell me in a week
or two I'll be perfectly well

That's swell

You certainly seemed to have
drained some business

from the noise the customers are
making it might be the cup final

What's the matter is the
success story getting staled?

Staler than last week's bread

Have you seen the new posters?

Yeah

Torg and Danton

He muscled into some tune hasn't he?

He has,I should have taken
him in the pants weeks ago

-Would have gone broke?
-Willingly

How's Mary?

She is all right

Is she happy?

That kid is not with us any longer

Outwardly,yes,she eats drinks talks with us

but the mind soul,the real Mary
we all loved belongs to that little rat

-Meaning Torg
-Who else?

-Have a drink?
-Yes,just a small one

You know,Tom,hypnotism is a bad
thing in the hands of bad boys

You know when I brought
her to the hospital?

Not likely to forget it

She was under his influence then

You didn't realize it but I did?

But all the time I thought

All the time you thought
she was high-hatting you

That wasn't Mary that was a
dummy and Torg was her vent

-And still is
-Sure

They are doing a new act,you know

It follow this,I got an atrium(?),
do you like to see it?

-Is it still the last one?
-Just the bit

-Aerial?
-Yeah

Phil

Suppose one night in the middle of the act

Torg were to turn of the plug(?)

Yeah that's what's worrying me

If he ever double crossed Mary I'd

Isn't there something you
can do to stop it?

Nothing

Yet

Come on

Don't tell me she is going to

She'll be all right

Ladies and Gentlemen

In view of the importance

Of the sensational act that
is to be presented to you

I wish to introduce Mr Phil Danton himself

Thank you Ladies and Gentlemen,we now
reach the high part of our program

The amazing act performed by Miss Mary

under the hypnotic control
by Dr Stephen Torg

This is the act that has been
the sensation of three continents

And one that is genuinely admitted

could not possibly take place

if Miss Mary were not entirely
under the control of the doctor

Ladies and Gentlemen it's my pleasure to
present Miss Mary and Dr Stephen Torg

Miss Mary the doctor you
mind taking your place

Ladies and Gentlemen

Owing to the exacting circumstances
under which this act is performed

I must ask for absolute silence,please

-How do you fell tonight,Mary?
-Fine Stephen

All right

-Shall we go
-All set

You should never have allowed this

Get on to the wire

Are you ready,Miss Mary?

I'm ready

Dr Torg are you ready?

Yes I'm ready

All right Mary

Come along

Come along Mary

Come along

Again Mary again

All right Mary

Stay there

Stay there until I tell you to go

Mary

Keep quiet

All right Mary

Don't lose

You are safe

You are safe Mary

Do as I tell you,back

Back Mary,hand over hand

Back

Back,back

Back

Back

Hand over hand

Back back

This rope was deliberately cut

Now it's never kidding ourselves

there is not one of us that doesn't
feel a sense of relief of what happened

But that sense of relief won't
extend to the police

They'll just regard it as deliberate murder

They grill everyone of us until
they found out who is guilty

Now we might as well save
ourselves lot of time

and find out amongst ourselves now

As far as I was concerned I was
sitting over there watching the show

Where were you Willie?

Where was I? Let's see where was I?

Blimey you don't think that I?

I mean I hated the little bastard

Ah Willie where were you?

He was standing over there by the entrance
I saw him I've just come out of the pay box

OK I suppose it's not Willy

Now Jim

What were you doing?

I was in the caravan having a drink

You don't believe me

Of course I believe you but
police want confirmation

-But I had no reason
-OK you were in the van having a drink

Now let's see who else?

Stop this stupid questioning

-I did it
-Phil

I cut the rope and I'm glad of it

Torg was destroying all of us

It was the worst day of our
lives when he walked in

I started this thing and I've finished it

I brought him into the show

stood by while he turned Mary into a puppet

shut my eyes to the fact that he tried
to murder Tom, I even made him a partner

Then I found out the only possible way I
stop this control over Mary was by death

That's all

Somebody call the police

One moment Mr Danton

This man didn't die because of the fall

He was shot

What's that?

Shot through the head

But when

I should say as he was
falling to the ground

Which direction did the bullet come from?

The bullet entered the
skull by the left ear

Must have been fired by
a first rate marksman

standing somewhere in that direction

Remember me?

Yes,doctor I shot him

Dora

So active you mean more
to the show than I do

You can get along very well without me

I could sense what was in your mind

Only I got in first

Besides I happen to be rather
fond of Mary and Tom

I wanted just to be the one that
made things come right for them

Jim call the police

I can't

I'll attend to that

Mr Danton

Hello Tom darling

Mary

town the thrill of the lifetime
