The Greatest Showman quotes
Page 1 of 3It is hard to understand wealth and privilege when you're born to it.
No one ever made a difference by being like everyone else.
The noblest art is that of making others happy
Yes, I do, indeed. Refunds are available at front box office.
You don’t need everyone to love you. Just a few good people.
Charity? Oh God, Charity. I am...
I don't wanna talk to you.
Nothing happened. This is ridiculous.
Oh, sure. Nothing happened. It's on the cover of every paper in New York.
Because she orchestrated the photo. I'm not in love with her.
Of course you're not. Not with her, not with me, not with anyone. Just you and your show.
What are you doing?
I'm going home.
This is your home.
The bank... They're evicting us. Why didn't you ask me before? I would've said yes. I never minded the risk, but we always did it together.
And what is your act, Mr. Carlyle?
I don't have an act.
Everyone has got an act.
Well, Mr. Barnum. This...is...to making dreams come true.
Thank you, Jenny. It's two hours to curtains.
I've given you the world, haven't I?
I, I should go. I have become a distraction. I'm sorry, Jenny. You should finish your tour without me.
What? You're leaving?
The itinerary is well in hand.
So that's it.
What do you mean?
I'm just another one of your acts.
Jenny.
I'm done.
Jenny, Jenny, please. You have to finish the tour.
Must I?
It will ruin me.
When you're careless with other people, Mr. Barnum... you bring ruin upon yourself.
I have risked everything.
Well, so did I.
And seems we've both lost.
You are the American. I believe I might have heard of you.
Oh, well, If you've heard of me all the way over here, I must have been doing something right.
That, or something very wrong.
In the world of publicity there is hardly any difference.
I believe those are the words of a scoundrel, Mr Barnum.
A showman, Miss Lind, just a showman. The best on my side of the Atlantic.
Hey sweetie, who's that young man over there?
Oh that's Phillip Carlyle. A bit of a scandal, they say. His last play was a hit in London.
Play? Pay good money to watch people stand around and talk for two hours and they call me a conman.
Jenny, this is my wife Charity and our girls.
Of course, and I've heard so much about you. And your father tells me you are a fan of the ballet.
Yes, I'm studying ballet.
Oh, are you?
Of course I am.
Of course she is.
And what about you, Helen?
You look like a princess, ma'am.
This isn't the life I promised you.
But I have everything I want.
What about the magic?
What do you call those two girls?
Mr. Barnum, I can not just run off and enter into the circus.
Why not? Sounds thrilling, isn't it?
Let's just say that I find it much more comfortable...admiring your show from afar.
Comfort, the enemy of progress.
Do you understand that just associating with you could cost me my inheritance?
Oh, it could cost you more than that. You'd be risking everything. But, on the other hand, well, you just might find yourself a free man.
Sir, it looks like you have yourself a junior partner.
What I have is an overcompensated apprentice.
