Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted2012

Stefano:
There was a time when Circus Zaragoza, we were a great circus! Numero uno in all the Europa! And Vitaly... he was the biggest star of us all. He was fearless. Taking risks. Always new. He jump through the hoop like he could fly!

Vitaly:
Stefano, make the hoop smaller.

Stefano:
Like this?

Vitaly:
Smaller.

Stefano:
Like this?

Vitaly:
Good!

Stefano:
It had never been done before because it was physically impossible! And the people... they loved it!

Offstage Voices:
Viva Vitaly!

Vitaly:
Smaller!

Stefano:
And the hoop, she got smaller! Like the ring on a finger of the tiniest lady with the slimmest of fingers.

Offstage Voices:
Bravo, Vitaly!

Stefano:
He would not stop pushing. And one fateful day, he push too far!

Vitaly:
Light the hoop on fire!

Stefano:
He fly too close to the sun and he got burned, literally. The extra virgin olive oil is extra flammable. And he lost everything. His wife, she run off with a musician. He lost his dignity… his fame… his passion… and his fur. And when it grow back, it is less soft. More like a prickly beard. Scusi. Vitaly! [Vitaly growling] Nothing! His only passion now is the borscht.

Alex:
Whoa.

Stefano:
He was our inspiration. So when he lost his passion, well... as Vitaly goes, so goes the circus. This is why we need your help.

Alex:
What sort of help?

Stefano:
You can teach us to do new circus. Americano style! We find a new passion. Make a new show, and we go all the way to the US and A! (1 sec.) –A! I know. It is stupido idea. We are a lost cause.

Alex:
No, no, this isn't stupido. This could work!

Stefano:
What?

Alex:
What you just said.

Stefano:
What?

Alex:
The idea you said. 2 seconds ago.

Stefano:
What?

Alex:
Your "stupido" idea!

Stefano:
It could?

Alex:
Stefano, you're a genius!

Stefano:
No, no, no, no. I am only average intelligence. Some say I'm even slightly below.

Alex:
We are gonna rethink everything anybody's ever known about circus! l call it Phase 4-7B, wherein, in order to get home, we will come up with something fresh, something amazing, something brand-new! Fresh, never before seen! Off the chain! Something that'll blow that circus promoter away!
