The Greatest Showman quotes

Page 1 of 3

No one ever made a difference by being like everyone else.

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.

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.

Caroline Barnum

Yes, I'm studying ballet.

Oh, are you?

Caroline Barnum

Of course I am.

Of course she is.

And what about you, Helen?

Helen Barnum

You look like a princess, ma'am.

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.
