Stefano turned on a lantern then said "Wow! Circus americano! You must all be very famous!" Orson said "Yeah like...magazine cover famous."

Alex said "Yeah, we uh..."
Gloria said "Absolutely."
Alex said "We're relatively well known..."
Marty said "But Garfield is really the star."

Garfield said "Well, I'm not... I wouldn't say "star." More like... More like... well, star."
Stefano asked "What is your act, Alice?"
Garfield said "Well... I basically, uh, I jump up on my rock..."
Gia asked "Rock?"

Garfield said "Yeah. It's a very high... rock."
Melman said "A really high rock!"
Stefano asked "And then?"
Garfield said "And then, well, I roar like... like a serious "Rawrrr!""
Stefano asked "And then?"
Garfield said "And then I jump off the rock."
Stefano asked "And then?!"
Garfield asked "And then... And then what?"
Gia asked "That is all?"
Jax asked "That's it?"
Booker asked "So no pizzazz?"

Gloria shouted "Into a pool!"
Marty said "Full of water!"
Melman said "Full of cobras!"
Alex said "Actually, it appears like I'm jumping into a pool..."
Melman said "With cobras!"
Garfield said "Aquatic cobras. For effect. But I actually pull up at the last second."
Stefano asked "Pull up?"
Alex replied "Yeah."
Stefano asked "How do you do that?!"
Melman said "Wire harness!"
Gloria shouted "Balloons!"
Marty said "Jetpack!"
Garfield said "Well..." he stuttered "I flip off the wire harness, ignite my jetpack, and then toss balloons to the children of the world. Kids love it. Kids always love that."

Vitaly said "Hmm!"
Stefano asked "ls this like the trapeze?"
Orson asked "A flying trapeze, is what he's asking."
Garfield replied "Yes! Trapeze! Exactly!"
Stefano said "Wow! Trapeze americano! Hey, I have a great idea! Maybe you come with us to Roma!" A knife landed in front of him making the gang gasp "Hey, Vitaly is just playing around. He is good, no?"
Alex said "Yeah, thanks. Thanks. But we're gonna get off at the next stop so we can get back to America."
Roy said as the knives landed in front of him "That is such a coincidence! Because we're going... going to..." he crowed out "LET ME FINISH!!!" He finally said "We're going to America, as well!" He growled "Errgh!"
Marty asked "What?!"
Alex asked "America?"
Gloria asked "Going to America?"
Melman asked "What?"
Stefano said "Si."

Alex said "Wow! When?"
Stefano said "After Roma, we go to London. And then a big-time promoter will see us and then send us to New York."
Alex said "They're going to New York!"

Ragatha said "Well, only if he likes what he sees."
Alex asked "New York? Seriously? That's our home. That's where we live."
Stefano asked "Isn't that fun?"
Marty asked "Could we go with you?"
Stefano said "Sure! You can bunk with Vitaly!"

Then weapons were thrown at them making them all shriek. Garfield dodged the spear "Whoa!"
Stefano said "Or not."
Vitaly said "Nyet!" He walked closer to them.

Stefano said "Oh, no. I don't think Vitaly likes that idea. What's he gonna do?"
Gangle said "I hope he doesn't hurt them. I like the dog."

Vitaly asked "Which one of you is leader?" Marty and odie pointed to Garfield making him roll his eyes "Tell your comrades there is one rule we do not break!"

Garfield asked climbing the spear "Thou shalt say it and not spray it?"
Vitaly said "NYET!! Circus owner Caine no allow stowaways!" He chuckled then a chain saw came through making Vitaly back up. A piece came through as it showed the penguins.
Skipper said "I hear you, Russki. Although the circus owner may allow stowaways, if the stowaways just happens to be the owners. Riddle me that."

Vitaly asked "What is sharply dressed little birdie talking about?"
Skipper said "Show 'em, boys."
The monkeys held out a wallet.
