Meanwhile, Freddie is bullying his siblings, and repeatedly punches Bobby. He also hits Sammy and Shakey (who try to save Bobby), while Frankie also attempts to stop Freddie with her switchblade.
Bobby asked "Oi, what's he doing?"
Frankie said "Hand over that circus, Freddie!"
Freddie said "I'll have my blue guts for garters!"

Garfield said "Hey, hey, put your weapons down."
Bobby said "Aw, get off."
Alex said "Guys, chill out. Cute and cuddly's obviously not your thing."
Shakey asked "What?"
Freddie said "He's got us pegged." Bobby gets his revenge by punching Freddie back "Oh!"
Alex said "I got a better idea. Show 'em, Rico." It showed Orson, Sheldon, Wade, Roy, and Bo wearing rocket shoes then they were launched they all screamed "Aah!" Roy said "That was great! Woah!" They flew off screaming into another area as the two ducked.
Shakey said "Flippin' 'eck!"
Bobby said "Rocket shoes!"
Sammy said "I want to try that."
Bobby said "Come on!
Sammy said "Yeah!"
Freddie said "Roy! Orson!"

Garfield got up the he got spooked by Pomni "Whoo. Hey. Hi." Pomni said "I admire how you have inspired this crew."

Garfield said "Oh. Thanks."
Pomni said "And what you said about passion, it was like poetry."
Garfield said "I love passion and poetry. They go together, really. I mean, I know they don't rhyme."

Pomni said "Trapeze is my passion!"
Garfield said "Terrific. I look forward to seeing you up there."

Pomni said "You can teach me!" Garfield asked "What?"
Pomni replied "Teach me."
Garfield said "Well, I've always been kind of a solo act. So that kind of rules that out."
Pomni said "I wonder if you actually do trapeze."

Garfield said "Oh, I actually do do trapeze."
Pomni said "Show me!"
Garfield asked ""Show me"? What are we, five?"
Pomni replied "I am twenty five, actually." Garfield stumbled on his words then he sighed in defeat.

Melman said as he climbed onto the tightrope as Gloria danced "Dancing. All you're doing is moving and not getting anywhere. I mean, the music totally throws off my timing. You want excitement? Ha-ha. Check it out. Who's on a tightrope, huh?" He then realized "Who's on a... Aaah! I'm on a tightrope! I'm on a tightrope!"
Gloria said "Melman! Oh, my gosh!"
Melman screamed "Help me!"
Gloria said climbing up to get him "Baby, hold on. Hold on. I'm coming right now!"
Melman said "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!"
Gloria asked "Melman?!"
Melman was spinning on his neck "Aah! Aah! Aah!"
Gloria said "Calm down, Melman."
Melman screamed "I'm going to fall and break all of my neck!"
Gloria said "Just look at me. Look at me. All eyes on me."
Melman said "Okay."
Gloria said "Come to me."
Melman said "I can't."
Gloria said "It's just like dancing, Melman. Two steps forward, one step back."
Melman said "I can't dance, OK? OK? There, I said it."
Gloria said "Maybe because you've never tried."
Melman said "No, I have tried. I practiced in private because you dance so well."
Gloria asked "You practiced? For me?"

Melman said "Yes, but it's no use. I never know what to do with my arms."
Gloria said "Hold it. That part is so easy, Melman. OK? 'Cause all you have to do is put them around your partner. See? Two steps forward. One step back."
Melman said "I'm dancing. I'm dancing!"
Gloria said "Two steps forward. One step back."
Melman said "We're dancing on a tightrope!"
Gloria said "You're great."
Melman said "I'm dancing!"
Then Stefano was launched out of the cannon above the two laughing.

Garfield said looking nervous "OK. Ha. Hoo... All right."
Pomni asked "So when do we get the jet packs and aquatic cobras?"

Garfield said "This is a beginners' class, and that's a pretty advanced maneuver."

Pomni said "Okay, how do we begin?"

Garfield said "lt's a bit complicated unless you understand the whole pitch and yaw... arc and gravity. All that stuff, which I won't bore you with. OK."

Pomni asked "Do you need a push?" Garifeld said "No." pink laughed. She then pushed Garifeld "Just watch and learn!" He swings then used his legs to another trapeze "Whoa! Whoa!" Then he used his teeth to grapple onto a board. Pomni followed "Like that?"
Garfield said "That's one way of doing it, sure." Then he let go hitting a trapeze then he used the net to jump back up then he grabbed the trapeze.

Pomni said "Wow! You use a net!"
Garfield said "Yes! Trapeze americano. We use the net."

Pink followed.

Pomni cheered "Trapeze americano!"

Then Garfield hit the pole then bounced as Pomni's followed.

Then the others saw their tricks and looked impressed.

Orson said "Look at him go!"

Garifeld was swinging then let go "Haha!" He flew off too far to the left and was about to fall "Woah!" Pomni grabbed him as they smiled. Sheldon cheered "Yeah!"

They landed before they fell Garfield grabbed Pomni then they were in a dip. Garfield helped her up "Wow!"

Jax launched himself out of the cannon then knocked Garfield and Pomni onto the net as the three laughed as they bounced.

Stefano cheered "E bravo! Bravissima! Hey, Vitaly, maybe you even do two hoops, no?"

Garfield got down from the net
Skipper said "Senorita Bell-bottoms. Tenemos una problema grande."
Garfield asked "Qu? Qu grande problema?" Then he saw that Dubois was following them "Oh, no! She's onto us!"
Skipper said "Don't make it any easier on the psycho."
Garfield asked "What are we gonna do?"
Skipper replied "We'd better vamoose... pronto."

Garfield said "But we're not ready. We're in the middle of rehearsals."
Skipper said "Then why don't you lilt over, grab your peduncle, and kiss New York good-bye?"
