"Step right up ladies and germs - the circus is coming to Springfield! Actually, it's three circuses – each more circus-y than the last. And NO this wasn't a scheduling error. It was totally intentional. ANYWAY... Fancy a freak show? The Burnsum and Bailey Circus is where it's at! High wire animal stunts? Head to Ding-A-Ling Bros. Circus. Need a fancy French circus? Then Cirque de Puree is your circus du jour. Still not enough circuses for you? Then you probably have a problem."

Gil Promo

After tapping on Gil's icon Hey, friend, have I got a deal for you! You can't contain this train, to pass on it would be insane! Lions, Tigers, Giraffes, and Seals...adding this train is sure to appeal! Did ol' Gil's rap win you over? I can lay it on ya again. I have nowhere else to be. If the offer is accepted You've made an excellent purchase. This puppy gets seven miles to a shovel of coal. Just don't get between the clowns and their hippo juice. They're pretty feisty when it comes to that stuff. If the offer is declined Aw, shucks. I knew I overdid it with that rap. You put your wallet away and took a nap! Speaking of naps...there's an empty park bench. Gil's gonna be off the ground in slumberland tonight!
