A scene from The Greatest Showman 2017
Philip Carlyle

Mr. Barnum, I can not just run off and enter into the circus.

P. T. Barnum

Why not? Sounds thrilling, isn't it?

Philip Carlyle

Let's just say that I find it much more comfortable...admiring your show from afar.

P. T. Barnum

Comfort, the enemy of progress.

Philip Carlyle

Do you understand that just associating with you could cost me my inheritance?

P. T. Barnum

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.
