[JACK SCREAMING]

Stop the Wonder Wheel!

Help! Wonder Wheel!

I'm the Wonder Wheel

champion of the world!

Miracle Wonder Wheel!

The best one!

[AIR HISSING]

The best... Oh, Wonder Wheel, don't.

Wonder Wheel.

Come on, Wonder Wheel.

Don't. You can't.

We've been through

too much together.

Come on! Come on, Wonder Wheel.

Come on, you can do it,

Wonder Wheel.

I don't wanna go through life

being a Wonder Wheel murderer.

I want you to play with kids.

You haven't even been to the zoo.

You never even touched water.

Come on, Wonder Wheel. Don't die.

Wonder Wheel, don't die.

Please, Wonder Wheel.

Please, Wonder Wheel...

[GRUNTING]

I know what I want.

He likes Wonder Wheel.

Let's blow it up right away.

The black man.

He wants one in black, all right?

The black man.

He wants the black man.

No. No, Eric, no. Not today.

Not now. Not never.

Yes.

He's not a toy.

He's trouble. See the mustache?

I asked him to shave.

Mr. Morehouse, I really don't care.

But he's one of our cleaning people.

I want him.

He's not for sale.

Why not?

Because he's a person.

Daddy said anything I wanted,

anything in the store.

You can't buy a human, Eric.

Why not?

Because...

It's against the law, isn't it?

Absolutely.

Mr. Morehouse,

doesn't my daddy make the laws?

[CLEARS THROAT]

I think he's got a point there.

ERIC:

Mr. Morehouse.

Now.

Now?

It's your department.

Good choice.

You'll have a wonderful time.

[SCREAMS]

Tim O'Brien, Toys.

Jack Brown, Windows.

Hey. Remember me?

I'm fired, right?

No, no.

Do you see that kid over there?

Jesus Christ. Yeah.

Well, he is the son of our...

Boss.

Right.

He's bright. Phi Beta.

I see the resemblance.

Yeah. He'd like to take you

home with him.

He would... What?

It's just a joke.

What, is he sick?

No.

Nuts, right?

No.

What are we talking about?

He's just used to

getting his own way.

You guys are serious!

No jive.

You want me to go with him?

If you wouldn't mind.

Oh, I mind.

I don't want him throwing a tantrum.

He can do a lot of damage.

I don't care.

I'm not going anywhere.

No, sir. Not me.

No now. No tomorrow.

No next week. I'm not... No!

No! As you say, you know? No.

I think we have to butter your bread.

I don't care if you...

No! Hell no. You can't...

I can't be bought.

This got settled in the Civil War.

You can't have slaves. No!

We're not trying to buy you.

We just want to rent you

for a little while.

What is your hourly rate?

I don't have...

No. No.

By the hour.

No.

No. Now, I don't have to stay long?

Oh, no.

No.

You'll give a decent burial

to Wonder Wheel?

Oh, yes.

That's my friend.

This is light.

Well...

Thank you. Ah! Ha-ha.
