Dumbo Page #5

Synopsis: A young circus elephant is born with comically large ears and given the cruel nickname Dumbo. One day at a show, he is taunted by a group of kids, inciting his mother into a rage that gets her locked up. After Dumbo's ears cause an accident that injures many of the other elephants, he is made to dress like a clown and perform dangerous stunts. Everything changes when Dumbo discovers that his enormous ears actually allow him to fly, and he astounds everyone at the circus with his new talent.

for a glorious finish!

- Finish? - And who is your climax?

The little elephant with the big ears!

The world's mightiest midget mastodon! Dumbo!

What?

- Dumbo. - Dumbo.

- Dumbo. - Dumbo.

- Dumbo. - Dumbo.

I got it! I got it!

Ladies and gentlemen...

we will now present for your entertainment...

the most stupendous, magnificent...

super-colossal spectacle.

On this tiny...

little, insignificant ball...

we will construct for you...

a pyramid, not of wood, not of stone...

To hear him talk, you'd think he was going to do it.

- but a living, breathing... - The stuffed shirt.

pyramid of ponderous, pulsating...

pulchritudinous pachyderms!

I give you the elephants.

Aren't we a bit clumsy?

Gaining a little weight, aren't you, honey?

You're no cream puff yourself, dearie.

Quiet up there. Tend to your work, girls.

Take your foot out of my eye, clumsy ox.

Steady, girls.

Boy, that was a close one.

They're almost ready now, Dumbo. Don't forget to wave that flag.

Okay, okay. Don't wave it no more. I saw ya.

Now, look. All ya gotta do is run out, see?

Jump on the springboard.

All right, now show me just how you're gonna do it.

That's it. Attaboy. That's the stuff. Come on.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Dumbo!

Oh, those ears. We gotta do somethin', quick.

Ladies and gentlemen...

you have now seen the impossible...

accomplished in front of your faces.

Seven jungle giants...

each one weighing not--

That windbag!

- Why doesn't he come to the point? - pounds!

And now, I present...

the world's smallest little elephant...

who will spring from this springboard...

in one spring...

to the top of this pyramid, waving his little flag...

for a grand climax!

Ladies and gentlemen...

I give you Dumbo!

Go on! Get goin'!

What's the matter with you? Dumbo! That's your cue!

You're on, Dumbo.

Out of my way, assassin!

- Dear! - Ohh.
