BIRDS CHIRP

We had hockey, netball and tennis, but no pool!

Swimming was so fun. Yes!

We should do it again sometime.

RUSTLING

What's that?

Probably just the wind.

Or maybe just a...

DOG BARKS

Oh, it's a dog!

Oh!

Oh, th-that's your breakfast!

It's worth it to pet her!

Oh, I do love dogs!

Jesse! Jesse!

Jesse! Oh! Hello!

You found her!

Walk the tightrope, Jesse.

Good girl!

Heavens, where did she learn that?!

From me, of course!

Nice to meet you - I'm Leila.

And then I go down into a cartwheel, and back up.

Leg lift.

Wow!

Oooh...!

That's my routine.

That's very impressive. My father taught me.

He's an acrobat. Here, take a leaflet.

You're in the circus?!

You should come and watch us!

If your parents will let you.

Do they own this whole place?

Oh, no, this is Malory Towers. Malory Towers?

It's a boarding school. What's a boarding school?

Um...

It means we live here.

With your parents?

Er, no. Just us girls and teachers.

Boarding school.

Imagine living in a school!

Imagine living in a circus!

Give these to your friends.

Oh!

Maybe I'll see you there. But tomorrow's our last night!

Bye, Leila! Bye! Come on, Jesse, let's go.

Quick! Let's tell the others!

It's only a shilling a ticket.

Sedgwick's Circus.

WHAT are you both doing in the corridor in your swimming costumes?!

And what is this?

Um...the circus is in town!

Circus? Mm-hm.

There'll be none of that for you girls -

not when your dormitory is enough of a circus already.

Matron, couldn't we go?

Not on my watch.

Upstairs, both of you!

Oh, it would have been such fun.

Don't give up so fast!

You and I will have ringside tickets to the circus in no time.

I promise you.

We Joneses never break our promises!

Did you really see a dog walk on its hind legs?!

Oh, yes. And we'll be seeing her again soon.

I'm taking Felicity to the circus!

Really? I thought Matron said no?

Matron's not the only one in charge!

Miss Grayling wouldn't overrule Matron.

You never know.

Poor Felicity. I hope she won't be too disappointed.

Of course she will be -

she won't get to see that wonderful dog again!

She will because...

..um, Miss Grayling has already said yes!

Really?!

Oh! You are lucky!

What exactly did she say?

Everything's sorted. You'll see.

Alors! Silence, s'il vous plait.

Today, I would like you all to get into pairs.

In your pair, you will interview each other about your life,

your likes, your dislikes,

and then you will tell the class everything you have learnt -

en francais, hmm?

Felicity, we should work together!

We need to work on our circus adventure!

All right, let's!

Oh! Shall we pair up?

But we know everything about each other already.

Then, it'll be easy, won't it?

Uh...

What's your plat prefere?

How do you say shepherd's pie in French?

Since when is it shepherd's pie?

Since Sunday lunch here.

Enter!

Oh, hello, Josephine, how can I help you?

Hello, Miss Grayling, I...

I wanted to ask your permission, for something important.

SHE SNIFFS

Please.

Go on. It's the circus, you see.

They're in town today and tomorrow, and...I would love to take Felicity.

Is that so?

We met one of the performers earlier,

and her life sounded so different from ours.

I thought it would be beneficial to learn by watching a performance!

It's a lovely idea.

It is always enriching to expand one's horizons.

Here you are, Miss Grayling. There you are. Thank you.

Thank you.

But I'm afraid I can't allow the two of you to go alone,

and it wouldn't be fair to the others.

Miss Grayling, I love your locket.

Wha...?

What if I take the whole form?

I'm sure Daddy would be happy to pay if I asked!

I can't ask your father to do that.

And, besides, it's too short notice to organise a trip.

There's always a reason not to do fun things, isn't there?

If it were feasible, I'd be the first to grant permission.

I love the circus!

Thank you, Miss Grayling.

Oh, it's going to be wonderful!

Will there be dancing horses? Or a lion?

Imagine - a lion jumping through a hoop!

Oh! I've just remembered - there's something I have to do.

I'm so sorry. I'll see you upstairs?

Of course, Jo, see you later.

Operator? Um, it's STO 3463.

Give me one moment.

Hello? Daddy! Jojo!

Oh, thank goodness you're home! It's an emergency!

What's happened?! I met the most wonderful girl today.

Her name was... Was it...?

Oh, it doesn't matter what her name was but she had a dog,

and the dog's name was Jesse and it could go on his own hind legs.

You know Felicity, my friend?

I...used to like tapioca.

When I was... Two years old.

It's fine - it's just what makes you Ruth!

There you are, Connie! Time for a knock-about before supper?

Rather!

What about our prep? I can finish it later.

I know everything about you already, remember?

You want a rematch after such a trouncing last time?

But last time, Connie, you lost!

THEY GIGGLE

It's twin stuff.

Is Connie making you do her work again?

No. It's just...

..she's changed so much recently. And...I haven't.

I thought you wanted her to become more independent.

Yes, but it almost feels like we're not even twins any more!

Or you're just two twins learning to have fun without each other.

SHE certainly is...

Maybe you should show her you are too?

How about a quick swim before supper?

Come on, the fresh air will do us both some good.

All right. Let's.

We could try diving, we could swim for marbles!

GULLS CAW

HANDBELL RINGS

Josephine, it's French. Come on.

Et le sujet prefere de Ruth est...

Les mathematiques! I love numbers.

Et faire de la natation!

Susan and I had a wonderful swim yesterday! Tres bien, girls.

Josephine and Felicity, s'il vous plait.

I didn't know you loved maths and swimming so much.

I suppose we've both changed.

Felicity adore les dogs.

Um, les chiens? Les chiens. Um...

Est elle adore le cirque!

C'est vrais. And aujourd'hui, we're going to the circus.

I mean, le cirque.

I'm not too sure about that.

En francais, s'il vous plait! Je ne pense pas. I don't think so.

June's right.

We aren't going to the circus.

I don't understand. En francais.

TAPPING

Is that...drumming?

Le cirque est ici! The circus is coming to us!

Look!

Silence, s'il vous plait!

Oh, my goodness!

EXCITED CHATTER

Look! There's Leila and Jesse!

Sedgwick's Stupendous Circus has arrived!

Josephine! Did you really do all of this?

A tower! We Joneses never break our promises!

Come on, everyone, let's go!

Girls! Girls!

We are in middle of a lesson!

Come on down, girls! Sedgwick's Stupendous Circus has arrived!

THEY ALL GIGGLE

HORN HONKS

The greatest show in the world!

Sedgwick's Stupendous Circus is here!

Stilt-walkers, giants, acrobats

and surprises galore!

You have the wrong place!

HORN HONKS

You are not meant to be here!

PHONE RINGS

APPLAUSE

Allo?

SHE MUTTERS

This is a school - not a circus!

Ruth, go and fetch Miss Grayling!

Um, um, there's no need!

Um, Miss Grayling already said

that the circus would, uh, expand our horizons!

No, no, come back here!

Introducing, Leila and her sisters!

That's the girl I was telling you about.

Always in motion!

I told you we'd get to see the circus!

I'm sorry for doubting you.

Though I have no idea how you convinced Miss Grayling

to let you do...this!

Yes, she said it was a lovely idea

and she'd be the first to give permission!

So...she...didn't give permission?

Jo, this is fantastic - thank you!

Come back here! Non, non!

Thank you! Thank you so much!

Thank you!

THEY SQUEAL

DOG BARKS

Wait... Look! It's Jesse!

Hello, Jesse! Awww!

There's a good dog!

Look! She wants to play with us!

And you want to play with her too, don't you?

Yes, but she's probably tied up for a reason.

Come on, let's show Jesse's tricks to the others!

Good girl!

Stop! Wait! Jesse!

There must be some proper music somewhere.

MUSIC: Ode To Joy by Beethoven Ahh!

Jesse! Come back!

Quick! Let's go!

Jesse!

Jesse! Come back!

CLATTER

Matron will have us cleaning this till our arms drop off!

At least we can see where she went.

It looks like she...

CLATTERING

Could be, oh, anywhere.

I've no idea, Miss Grayling.

Well! Where on earth did all this come from?

Oh, well. Oh, I think I know.

Matron's going to be furious.

Oh, Jesse! Sh!

MUSIC: Ode To Joy

BARKING

The back stairs!

I was about to ask what is going on,

but I have a feeling Josephine can tell me.

Have you seen her?

Jesse?

Freude, schoner Gotterfunken

Tochter aus Elysium,

Wir betreten feuertrunken,

Himmlische, dein Heiligtum...

Mam'zelle, it's payback for the flowers! Oh, you must.

Alle Menschen werden Bruder

Wo dein sanfter Flugel weilt

Deine Zauber binden wieder

Was die Mode streng geteilt

Alle Menschen werden Bruder

Wo dein sanfter Flugel weilt... BARKING

THEY LAUGH

I think you've done enough!

LAUGHTER AND CHEERING

Oh, Mr Parker!

Why don't you head back to school and clean up before...?

I'll take care of things from here.

Yes. Um, indeed.

HE GROANS

Mam'zelle, why not take the girls back to class before lunch,

and finish their lessons?

Has anyone seen my dog?

I tied her up but she's gone!

I'll help you look.

BARKING

What on earth?!

Jesse? Jesse!

Jesse, where are you? There you are.

Do you know where Jesse is? We know where she's BEEN.

Hurry! We have to find Jesse before Matron does.

BARKING

Sorry!

She loves chewing pillows.

Is this where you all sleep?

Oh. Yes.

Well...at least you don't keep food up here.

She can smell a sausage at 100 paces.

Lunch! Jesse! Jesse! Jesse!

ALL: Jesse!

Jesse! There you are!

Jesse, wait!

DOOR CLOSES

There! Got her!

She can't escape now!

Why would she? That's where our lunch is!

SMASH!

Jesse!

There goes our lunch.

Agh!

Is that a DOG?! Eating your LUNCH?!

Josephine!

I might have known you'd be behind this.

The circus indeed!

And as for the mess!

Which one of you let a dog into the school?!

Nobody! She ran in on her own. You can't speak to us like that!

You watch your tone, young lady!

You...

Take it outside.

Now! And then you'll come straight back and clear everything up!

WHIMPERING

Am I supposed to be impressed?

And you - straight to Miss Grayling's office!

She's been looking for you!

Now.

Chat-back!

Go on!

Come on, Jesse, come on. And you.

Off.

Ugh.

Ugh!

I was very clear when I said you weren't allowed to go the circus.

But we didn't really go to the circus - it came to us.

Without my permission.

I just thought that you wouldn't mind.

My daddy was happy to pay for it all, so nobody was left out,

and I helped him organise everything.

You deliberately disobeyed me.

Why?

I just...

I-I just thought it would be fun, and...

I'd already given my word to Felicity.

Friendship isn't something you can buy, Josephine.

It's earned.

Through honesty and kindness, not grand gestures.

Remember that and it will stand you in good stead here at Malory Towers.

Now, I'm taking away your telephone privileges

for the next two weeks. It will be letters home only.

Oh, but, Miss Grayling...! That will be all.

I'll speak to your father to explain the situation.

You know, Josephine, if you put as much effort into your schoolwork

as you do trying to impress others, you'd make us all very proud!

Leila! I need to tell you.

It was our fault that Jesse escaped.

Jo and I untied her.

I knew someone must have let her go!

I really am sorry. We shouldn't have done it.

It's all right - I know you meant no harm.

Uh, are you still here?

Er, I was just leaving.

I've got another performance to prepare for!

Oh!

I'm glad someone knows her manners!

Ah, oh!

Girls, back inside! Allez! Vite!

Allez, allez, toutes. Rentree, les filles.

Thanks for a smashing day!

Goodbye, Leila, goodbye, Jesse! Come back any time! Oh...

Goodbye, Malory Towers! And thanks for having us!

Jesse! Come here, what's this?! Jesse!

Allons-y-nous.

I don't remember the last time we had this much fun! Thanks, Jo!

I am ready for bed!

Me too!

SQUEALING

Oh, I do hope Jesse and Leila come back to visit us one day.

If not, we can always go to them.

Not on Matron's watch!

Today was wonderful. I can't believe you pulled it off!

I'm not sure I totally did.

Miss Grayling was pretty cross.

Did she punish you terribly?

Yes.

Well...

I think today is the best I've ever had at Malory Towers!

I suppose it was a lot of fun.

Rather! We saw Mam'zelle throw a pie at Mr Parker!

And a juggling clown!

I wonder if I can learn to juggle like him.

Oh, bravo, bravo!

You know, you must be the first girl in Malory Towers history

to ever bring the circus here!

I suppose I am!
