Dumbo1941

Timothy:
Ya know, Dumbo, we gotta get an idea. Not just any idea. Something colossal! Like, uh--

[The light in the Ringmaster's tent comes on, as he talks to his janitor Joe]

Ringmaster:
Have I got an idea! What an idea!

Timothy:
[to Dumbo] Huh. He never had an idea in his life. [starts listening excitedly]

Ringmaster:
Just visualize! [Joe tries to hang his boss' jacket on his rack but drops it on the ground] Now, one elephant climbs up on top of another elephant until finally.... [taking off his trousers with suspenders attached to them] ....all 17 elephants have constructed an enormous.... [then kicks off his trousers and catches them] ....pyramid of pachyderms! [pulling down on his nightshirt until his head pops up through the collar that causes his top hat to bounce] I step out! I blow the whistle! [then rolls 'R'] The tr-rr-rumpets are tr-rr-rumpeting! [shaking his pointy finger up in the air] And out comes the climax!

Joe:
[brief silence] Yeah? What is the climax?

Ringmaster:
[shrugging] Hmm. I don't know.

Timothy:
[disappointed] I knew that he never had nothin'.

Ringmaster:
[removing his boots and itches his waist while getting in bed] Well, maybe it comes to me in a vision while I dream. Good night, Joe. [gets under his covers, and light goes out]

Joe:
Good night, Boss.

Timothy:
[thinking] Climax.... [struck with an idea] Climax! Dumbo, you're a climax! [hurries away, then comes back] I'll be back in a minute 'cuz I'm gonna take care of your future!
