Because we're going... going to...

Let me finish!

We're going to America, as well!

- What?!

- America?

- Going to America?

- What?

- S.

- Wow? When?

After Roma, we go to London.

And then a big-time promoter will see us

and then send us to New York.

They're going to New York!

Well, only if he likes what he sees.

New York? Seriously?

That's our home. That's where we live.

lsn't that fun?

- Could we go with you?

- Sure!

You can bunk with Vitaly!

- Whoa!

- Or not.

Nyet!

Oh, no.

l don't think Vitaly likes that idea.

What's he gonna do?

Which one of you is leader?

Tell your comrades

there is one rule we do not break!

Thou shalt say it and not spray it?

Nyet!

Circus owner no allow stowaways!

l hear you, Russki.

Although, the circus owner

may allow stowaways

if the stowaways

just happen to be the owners.

Riddle me that.

What is sharply dressed

little birdie talking about?

Show 'em, boys.

You have a deal, mi amigo.

l am sure this circus

will bring you great success!

l guess this is good-bye and good luck!

What do we know about owning a circus?

Nothing. But it's our only shot

at getting home.

You better know what you're doing.

You're risking

Private's community college fund.

l'll never be president.

Hey, this is not first class.

Definitely coach.

Mort! Stop it!

Hey, gorgeous.

Has anyone ever told you

that you look like a supermodel?

Albeit a fat, hairy one who smells.

You have a very hairy back.

l like that in a woman.

That's it! l'm going in.

Stop! lt's too dangerous!

Don't be a hero!

Lion.

Twelve hours old.

Two hundred and fifty kilograms.

Glossy mane.

Too much conditioner.

Stupid bozos!

Hello, kitty!

So, you ran away with the circus.

What a clich.

What a dump!

lf they want to attract

a decent sports team,

they should bulldoze this rat trap

and invest in a new arena.

The Colosseum, Marty!

The original theater-in-the-round.

- My ancestors used to perform here.

- No kidding!

Yeah. Every show had a captive audience.

- Apparently, they killed.

- Sounds like a great gig!

Trenta minuti, everybody!

Trenta minuti!

This is so exciting!

Remember, we just lay low.

Stay out of the way.

Let them do their thing.

Would you look at this?

You gotta go back

in your momma's belly,

'cause you're too cute

to be out here in the real world.

- Oi! Naff off, you muppet!

- Whoa! What the...?

Marty, they're professionals. Come on.

You look gorgeous!

All right, animals!

We may be your new owners,

but we don't want to reinvent

the circus wheel here,

so just go out, do what you do!

Just think of this as a fun warm-up

for that promoter in London.

Right, Marty? Marty?

l want to be a circus horse!

We could paint you white!

And then paint you pink!

- Awesome!

- Not laying very low, are we, Marty?

Sonya! Where is the bear?

Sonya! We're about to start!

Hey, Vitaly!

Got your game face on.

Good game face.

What is that cat's problem?

"l'm a mean Russian cat

who isn't nice to anybody."

Hey, honey, look! Look, l'm doing it!

Guys, stop fooling around.

We're just having a little fun.

Let's let these animals do their show.

Da-da da-da-da-da-da-da, circus!

Da-da da-da-da-da-da-da, Afro!

Circus Afro

Circus Afro

Polka dot, polka dot, polka dot, Afro!

Really?

Sonya! Where is Sonya the bear?!

l want to kiss

every inch of your huge head.

lt may take me a number of weeks.

Hey, watch it!

That was heavy.

Don't cry. Stop crying!

lt makes me cry

to see you cry, my darling.

l will get you something even better.

Hey, you can buy love.

Whoa, not too fast!

Ladies and gentlemen,

presenting Gia,

the trapeze-flying jaguar!

And there she go.

The triple-flip roll

with a double leap, and...

What are you doing?!

That's just paper.

Were you spying on me?

No! l just came by to say

that l don't want you to think...

l don't want you to think of me

as some sort of authority figure.

Don't worry. l don't.

- You don't?

- Not at all.

Well, the other circus animals

might find me a bit intimidating.

No. Nobody is intimidated at all by you.

Oh, good stuff. Good. Good news.

ln fact, l do not think

they have given you a second thought

since you showed up.

That's good to hear.

lf anything,

they're starting to feel sorry for you.

OK, l get it. OK?

ls there more?

l just wanted to thank you

for letting us get on the train back there.

l know the big cat with the accent...

...wasn't so excited

about us getting on.

Look, lion guy.

This circus means everything to us.

And if you do anything

that threatens this circus,

you will have to answer to me. Capisce?

l capisce, cool. Trust me, we're cool.

You call this laying low?

Faster! Faster!

Where there is circus, there is lion.

And when in Rome...

Vive la France!

Halt!

Come on, my hairy queen.

We'll do doughnuts in the Pantheon.

You're in big trouble.

Now you're really in big troub...

Now you're really, really in big tro...

l'm new!

OK! Strike up the band!

You have a band?

Prepare to be blown away!

- Blow me away!

- Here we go!

Look at this. Whoa! Hey!

lt's nice to be...

Yay...

Hey!

Whoa! How do dogs do that?

Get on with it!

Stupido!

Well, that was worth

the price of admission.

Watch it, mate!

Who's from Cincinnati?

Stefano, you know

"blown away" means good, right?

Don't worry.

The big finale is coming up!

Give me a downbeat! Look at this!

Oh, no. No, this is not happening.

You have a deal, mi amigo.

lt's good, no?

Yes, go out and get food and come back!

Deep breaths.

You're in a happy place. lt's all good.

There's an angry mob outside,

and they're demanding

their money back!

l think we all know the right thing to do.

Come on, come on!

Come on! Hurry up!

Hop on the train!

Come on, guys!

Mamma mia!

Hurry up!

Grazie, Alice.

Just throw us the money!

Captain Chantal Dubois. Get up.

l'm going to have to send you

back to Monaco under maximum security.

What?!

lt's just a pillow!

That's the oldest trick

in the book, Comandante.

Every bambino in ltaly knows that one.

Maybe, but do they know

about the old escape hole

behind the innocent-looking poster?

Or the really old "l'm gonna

hide up on the ceiling" trick!

Of course.

The secret tunnel under the bed!

Get this thing out of the way.

Let's go!

This secret tunnel is a dead end!

There's nothing but bedsprings

and mattress stuffing down here!

Was that the sound

of a cell door closing?

Voil!

Was that the sound

of my HP printer printing?

This is a disaster!

We blow all our money on a bad circus,

and we're not any closer to New York!

lf anything, we're further away!

We could have at least bought a circus

that knew how to circ!

l don't even know why we bought

a circus in the first place.

We had enough dough for a plane!

Are you kidding me?

You must have some money left over.

l used it to buy teeth

and then have them capped in gold.

Now l can eat apples!

Sadly, l discovered l don't like apples.
