Freaks quotes

Angeleno

We'll make her one of us! A loving cup! A loving cup!

Half Woman-Half Man

We accept her. One of us. We accept her. One of us.

Knife thrower

Gooble, gobble! Gooble, gobble!

Armless girl

We accept her. We accept her.

All freaks

Gooble, gobble! Gooble, gobble!…

Frieda

I was saying, tonight you must not smoke such a big cigar. Your voice was very bad at tonight's show.

Hans

Please, Frieda, don't tell me what I do. When I want a cigar, I smoke a cigar. I want no orders from a woman.

Frieda

Why is it, we women always have stuff to worry.

Venus

Oh, it's always been that way. I guess it always will be.

Hans

Are you laughing at me?

Cleopatra

Why no, monsieur.

Hans

Thanks, I'm glad.

Cleopatra

Why should they laugh at you?

Hans

Most big people do, they don't realize that I'm a man with the same feelings they have.

Hercules

I'm tired of spending time and money on somebody like you.

Venus

Yeah, your time, but my money.

Phroso

Don't go out filling your hide with a lot of booze celebrating. 'Cause fun what's got that way never done NO one no good. Get me?

Venus

I got ya'. [stops and takes a closer look at Phroso] Say, you're a pretty good kid!

Phroso

You're darn right I am! You should have caught me before my operation!

Venus

She's still after Hans, ain't she?

Frieda

Yeah. Always she's smiling by him.

Venus

Yeah. Well, if she's smiling by somebody I know, she'll have to buy herself a new set of teeth!

Madame Tetrallini

How many times have I told you not to be frightened. Have I not told you, God looks after all his children!

Phroso

So, you finally got wise to yourself, did ya? It's a funny thing about you women. Most of you don't get wise soon enough! You wait until you're so old, nobody wants ya.

Venus

That's it, that's it. Go ahead and laugh. It's funny, ain't it? Yeah. Women are funny, ain't they? They're all tramps, ain't they? Yeah. Except when you can get money from them!

Carnival Barker

We didn't lie to you folks. We told you we had living, breathing, monstrosities. You laughed at them, shuddered at them. And, yet, but for the accident of birth, you might be one as they are. They did not ask to be brought into the world. But, into the world they came. Their code is a law unto themselves: offend one and you offend them all.

Cleopatra

You dirty, slimy, freaks! Freaks, freaks, freaks! You fools! Make me one of you, will you?
