The Greatest Showman Edit

A 60 piece orchestra?

A bit of a nasty element.

A bit of a scandal, they say.

A few. Yeah.

A glider that can take a man in the air, sir.

A place to be transported.

A place where people can see things

A present for what?

A showman, Miss Lind, just a showman.

A theater critic who can't find joy in the theater.

A very good thief. I caught him nicking my watch.

Absolutely not. Okay.

Admiring your show from afar.

Ah, Mr. Bennett from the Herald.

Ah, pleasure.

Ah.

Ain't that a sight for sore eyes?

All colors... shapes, sizes...

All that fortune, and still just the tailor's boy.

All that's left is

All we need is a tent.

Allow me to introduce you.

An insignificant man like me

An invitation to every party in town.

And actually do something with their lives.

And at 20 percent of the gate,

And for your father.

And have you heard me sing?

And I can't have you mingling... guys!

And I need a star.

And I want it everywhere!

And I will give her a life as grand as this one.

And I wouldn't listen.

And I've heard all about

And if I have remembered correctly...

And if you agree, I'll make you the most famous singer

And it keeps them safe until they come true.

And it seems we both lost.

And life always manages to remind me

And look at that.

And most lavish ovations."

And my children will not be.

And now you're giving up on us, too.

And now, thanks to you, all that's gone.

And right this way.

And she'll come running back home.

And that brought shame upon my family.

And that they should be nice to you anyway.

And that... leaves a hole that no ovation can ever fill.

And the blueprints were recovered

And the circus... that was our home.

And the most beautiful uniform ever made.

And they call me a con man.

And this extraordinary gentleman next to me...

And until further notice.

And what about you, Helen?

And what did we buy with this loan?

And what is your act, Mr. Carlyle?

And when they see him, they won't laugh.

And yet, you have no trouble selling tickets.

And your father tells me you're a fan of the ballet.

And your spooks.

And, Caroline, this is for you.

And, well, I trust your reputation

And... and...

Anne Wheeler. Mr. Barnum said he left a ticket for me.

Anne! Anne!

Anne! Oh my God!

Anne.

Anne.

Anything.

Are these...

Are we all invited?

Are you happy?

Are you?

Arm extended, elbow out.

Arm extended, elbow out.

As a purveyor of the offensive and indecent."

Associating yourself with that Barnum business is one thing...

At the very, very top.

At your service!

Ballet takes years of hard work.

Bank said no?

Bankrupt?

Barnum's American Museum.

Because she orchestrated the photo. I'm not in love with her!

Because we put up collateral.

Boring!

Boring?

Brava!

Brava!

Brava!

Brava!

Bravissima!

Bravo!

Building. We don't need a building.

But I always thought the people did.

But I have 100 bottles of good champagne on ice

But I have everything I want.

But I managed to commit them to memory.

But I will.

But it will change your life.

But it will change your life.

But like mine, your reputation precedes you,

But not just any present. Oh, no.

But parading around with the help?

But the blueprints had been lost for centuries

But they are going to love you.

But they are gonna love you.

But they're fascinated with the exotic and the macabre.

But they're not all wax.

But you gave us a real family.

But you know, we don't need all of this to be...

But, dear, we don't have any collateral.

But, on the other hand, well,

But...

By his imagination.

By Leonardo da Vinci, 400 years ago.

By none other than J.W. Mercantile.

Bye, Mother.

Can I buy you a drink?

Can I climb up its leg?

Can I have your attention?

Can I just ask how heavy you are?

Can I tell a wish?

Caroline, you were the best dancer on that stage.

Caroline! He's here.

Carriages, sides of trains,

Charge!

Charity, come here.

Charity!

Charity?

Charity.

Charles, right? Age 22?

Charles!

Charles!

Come here. See?

Come on, girls.

Come on, let's get him on!

Come on! Straight ahead!

Come on. Let's go.

Come to take in another show, huh?

Come! Join the Great American Railroad!

Comfort, the enemy of progress.

Could cost me my inheritance?

Couldn't even say "hello."

Daddy, no! Wait!

Daddy!

Daddy!

Daddy!

Daddy!

Daddy!

Daddy!

Daddy!

Daddy.

Daddy.

Deep in the South China Seas.

Did you sell any more tickets today?

Do these smiles seem fake?

Do you have a number for that?

Do you understand that just associating with you

Do you?

Does it bother you

Don't see you in a costume.

Don't tell me you bought this house

Don't turn sensible on us now.

Don't worry, Barnum. We've gotten used to it by now.

Don't you have somewhere to be?

Don't you think there's enough blind trust in my life?

Elbow out.

Emphatically.

Encore!

Enough to bring joy to the most joyless critic, isn't she?

Even if you forget them, they're always there.

Even the Winthrops.

Everybody knows her. You just said so yourself.

Everyone is here. Look at this.

Everyone, stay close!

Everyone's got an act.

Ew, what's that smell? Do you smell that?

Ew. Something does smell.

Excellent!

Expand our appeal, go after the snobs.

Extraordinary.

Fair and ample wages. Come, make your fortune!

Father is sending me to finishing school.

Feeling sorry for yourself.

Figured you'd end up here.

First, it was buying a house on the same street as my parents.

Five minutes to curtain.

Folks, if you've come to get paid,

For ballet slippers.

For happiness like this forever

For the pleasure of being hoodwinked.

For you and you...

Freaks!

Friendship, love, and work that I adore.

From now on.

From the circus?

General, ma'am.

Gentlemen, gonna have to ask you to leave.

Gently lower your cup.

Get him!

Get out.

Girls, stay with me. Come. Quick, quick!

Go home, you freaks!

Go home!

Go to sleep, both of you.

God, no. But I have seen the crowds.

Goodness, no. It's rubbish.

Gracefully.

Half price for anyone who's wearing a hat.

Half price tickets to anyone who brings it in.

Happy birthday, Caroline.

Hard as that is to believe.

Has a nice ring to it.

Have you no shame?

He does their thinking for them.

He's out of his element.

He's still breathing. Come on.

He's taken a lot of smoke.

Helen, come on.

Helen, that's for you.

Hello.

Here we go, guys!

Hey, hey! No one's buying hats back here. Get out front, go!

Hey, sweetheart, who's that young man over there?

Hey, thank you very much for coming.

Hey, that's... that's a good wish, too.

Hey, you partners, look who moseyed into the corral.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey! Ringmaster.

Hey! Stop!

Hey! You looking for freaks?

Hid us our whole lives.

His last play was a hit in London.

Hmm?

Ho, ho! That's you, sir.

Hot, salted peanuts. Piping hot!

How could you?

How dare you speak to her like that.

How do you think I built it?

How many tickets?

How'd you get out?

How's it looking, girls?

Huh?

I am putting together a show

I believe I have skills and ideas

I believe I might have heard of you.

I believe I told you that free champagne

I believe those are the words of a scoundrel, Mr. Barnum.

I brought hardship on you and our family.

I can fool into loaning me more money, so...

I can get you somethin' real nice. Just say the word.

I can see it right now.

I do, but I don't have to.

I do.

I don't have a son.

I don't have an act.

I don't know how we're gonna afford a building.

I don't know what my future will be.

I don't think there's a banker left in the country

I expect them to afford you all the deference you deserve

I give most of my earnings to charity, Mr. Barnum.

I guess I'll just have to tell the Queen

I had an inheritance, acclaim,

I had the good sense to take my cut weekly.

I had to pull a few strings.

I have risked everything.

I have to admit, Barnum... she is remarkable.

I just want her to be proud of who she is, of her family.

I just...

I know I don't come from much, but...

I know that.

I know where you can find one of them.

I know.

I made her laugh.

I mean, if you were to apply that to this business,

I mean, it just needs a little work, but...

I mean, thank God for Jenny's tour.

I missed you. I missed you.

I must be doing something right.

I never liked your show.

I never minded the risk, but we always did it together.

I never wanted anything but the man I fell in love with.

I own 10% of the show.

I recently had the privilege

I see a soldier, no, a general

I sometimes don't feel like I belong here.

I started too late. I'll never catch up.

I think you have too many dead things in your museum, Daddy.

I thought the company had a dozen trading ships.

I understand, yes. Thank you so much, Mr. Jeffries.

I wanna go after the carriage trade.

I wanted to be more than I was.

I was born out of wedlock...

I was treated like dirt...

I wasn't sure you'd come if I asked.

I will be if this works.

I will only ask once more.

I will take care of your daughter

I wish to marry Santa Claus.

I wish...

I wish...

I would even say beautiful.

I would like to see my wife.

I would've liked that.

I would've said yes.

I... I believe there's only supposed to be one.

I... I really don't think I have that power.

I... I, uh... I should go. I...

I'd like to bring you to New York.

I'd like you to meet Charity's parents.

I'm a thief.

I'm doing this for Caroline and Helen.

I'm going home.

I'm just another one of your little acts.

I'm looking for your son.

I'm quitting.

I'm really sorry to disappoint you all.

I'm sorry.

I'm sure she does. Okay, what are you doing here?

I'm... I'm sorry.

I've always wanted to go to the theater.

I've become a distraction. I'm sorry, Jenny.

I've ever heard.

I've given you the world, haven't I?

I've never been to America.

I've never seen so many little prima donnas in my life.

If only the bank would take joy as collateral.

If they did, they'd have to stop judging

If you didn't, I'd be worried.

If you only knew how suffocating they are.

If you put us on the stage.

If you want society to accept you,

If you've come to gloat, I wouldn't.

In front of their fancy friends?

In the history of the City Ballet."

In the South China Seas?

In the standing room. That's where they should be.

In the world to her right now.

Inside theaters?

Inside, all of you. Right now.

Into an adding machine.

Is a recipe for disaster.

Is that Barnum?

Is that... is that real?

Is this how we've taught you to behave?

Is...

Isn't that amazing?

It doesn't matter where they come from. The joy is real.

It is one hour of your time, sir,

It only took me 25 years, but...

It... it will ruin me.

It'll be a queen's ransom for your efforts.

It's a good bet is what it is, sir.

It's a good bet is what it is, sir.

It's beautiful,

It's hard to understand wealth and privilege

It's my fault, sir.

It's not just them.

It's not like the circus.

It's on the cover of every paper in New York.

It's two hours to curtain.

It's why we stare at it.

It's you, isn't it?

It's your word.

Jenny, America may not know it yet...

Jenny, this is my wife, Charity, and our girls.

Jenny. Jenny, please.

Just a few good people.

Just get the cheapest musicians you can and watch that.

Just once, I'd love to give them something real.

Just once, I'd love to give them something real.

Just to rub my parents' noses in your success?

Just you and your show.

Keep coming. Okay. Are you ready?

Keep pumping! Keep pumping!

Keep rehearsing. Just make it very clear

Keep your cup level.

Knowing who I was working for...

Ladies and gentlemen, a toast!

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your patience.

Let me get to the point.

Let's go.

Let's just say that I find it much more comfortable

Lettie! Lettie!

Load of garbage.

Look around you. They have everything.

Lord, that lady can sing!

Marie Antoinette with the sore throat. Napoleon.

Master of sleight of hand. A king of deception.

May I ask you something, Mr. Barnum?

May I present...

Maybe it was just about making a buck.

Maybe you are a fraud.

Men suffer more from imagining too little than too much.

Mind you, I wouldn't call it art.

Miss Jenny Lind.

Miss Jenny Lind.

Miss Lind.

Miss Lind.

Miss Lind's ready now.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm. And in the hands of a real purveyor of the arts,

More than my own taste, so...

More!

More!

Most everyone was rushing home, it's Friday, but...

Mother, if this is my place...

Mother. Father.

Mr. and Mrs. Hallett.

Mr. Barnum, I can't just run off and join the circus.

Mr. Barnum, I'd love to meet Miss Lind.

Mr. Barnum!

Mr. Barnum.

Mr. Bennett, when was the last time you smiled

Mr. Carlyle. You produced this play?

Must I?

My father was treated like dirt.

My name is Phillip Carlyle.

My newest hire, Mr. Phillip Carlyle.

My place?

N... nothing happened. This is ridiculous.

Napoleon didn't have a 60 piece orchestra.

Napoleon was defeated.

New acts every night!

New York society will never accept us.

Newspapers! Amazing stories from around the world!

Nice to see you, sir.

No, he is one of the best.

No, I'm blushing.

No, no! Daddy!

No, Phillip! No!

No, there's meant to be two.

No, you don't understand.

No. Hey, P.T.

Not in Europe, but in the entire world.

Not just any elephant.

Not to mention the French Opera.

Not with her, not with me, not with anyone.

Nothing draws a crowd quite like a crowd.

Nothing more to look at!

Now who's a fraud?

Now, I know that sounds like Barnum humbug...

Now. Yes!

Now... I know how it looks.

O'Malley, that's Caroline's piggy bank.

O'Malley.

Oddities from America!

Of course not.

Of course you're not.

Of course, and I've heard so much about you!

Of course, you are the American.

Of course. I, uh... I wouldn't suggest otherwise.

Of having nothing,

Of hearing the most divine voice

Oh, God, Charity.

Oh, God. I hope she can sing.

Oh, I know what it is. Peanuts.

Oh, I'm counting on it.

Oh, it could cost you more than that.

Oh, Mr. Bennett.

Oh, my God! Oh, goodness.

Oh, sure. Nothing happened.

Oh, that's Phillip Carlyle.

Oh, that's very kind of you. Miss Lind...

Oh, well, if you've heard of me all the way over here,

Oh, yeah, we're gonna pay it. We just need customers.

Oh, yeah. This is a ten ton bull

Oh, you've grown so much. Stop it.

Oh.

Oh. Thank you.

Okay, I do have a present...

Okay. Anne and W.D. Wheeler. Brother and sister?

Okay. Thank you, thank God!

On the shores of Nantucket.

One for me, one for the lady.

Opportunity awaits you, sir, out on the rails!

Or "goodbye." He's going on tour.

Or any job, apparently.

Or had a good laugh? Like a real laugh?

Or maybe two.

Or none of us will.

Our gate is down,

Our own mothers were ashamed of us.

P.T. Barnum, at your service.

P.T. Barnum.

Partners.

Partners.

Peanuts. Get your peanuts here.

People come to my show

People don't want to admit it...

People leave your shows a great deal happier than when they came in,

People will come from all over the world,

Phillip, I can't let you gamble it on me.

Phillip, is that you?

Phillip, keep up!

Phillip!

Phillip! Is everyone out?

Phillip.

Phillip...

Phin...

Phineas Taylor Barnum.

Phineas, hurry up. We're gonna miss the train.

Pinkie in the air, arm extended...

Pinkie in the air...

Pinkie up.

Please leave me alone.

Present legitimate acts,

Presenting them as equals...

Push.

Putting folks of all kinds on stage with you...

Reaching the top shelf yourself, sweetheart.

Real estate in Manhattan is a terrible investment.

Really?

Refunds are available at the front box office.

Repeatedly.

Reprint this review in every paper in New York.

Riding across the stage with a sword and a gun,

Right.

Run! Let's go! Fire!

See the open plains of America!

Shall we do it again?

Shall we?

Shame, she's fallen in with you.

She can't quit. No. No, I mean, she just...

She could be something in this country.

She is luminous.

She is proud.

She just feels out of place with the other girls.

She shouldn't have to.

She'll be back.

She'll learn to ignore them just like I did.

She's at the beach!

She's not here.

She's right. You need something alive.

She's sold out La Scala a dozen times.

She's the most famous performer in all of Europe.

Since when has happiness ever been boring?

Singer, huh?

Sip, never slurp.

Sir, I...

Sir, I'll have to ask you to leave.

Sir, it looks like you have yourself a junior partner.

Sir, Phineas Taylor Barnum.

Sir, you shouldn't be here.

Sir.

Sir.

Sir.

So come join the circus.

So it's different than everything else then?

So might as well get paid.

So, you are a philanthropist?

Something sensational.

Something that isn't stuffed.

Sooner or later, she'll tire of your life...

Stand up straight.

Stay away from my daughter.

Stay back! Please!

Step right up. Go ahead.

Straight from the plains of Africa.

Stretcher!

Stretcher!

Suddenly, he's a connoisseur.

Sure we do. In the South China Seas.

Surely not for the faint of heart, but I can tell you're gonna love it.

Teach me how to appeal to the highbrows.

Tell everyone how much fun you had at the circus!

Tell me, Mr. Barnum,

Terrific. I don't need to see it.

Thank you, Chalmers, that'll do.

Thank you, Jenny.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. You'll have the money by the end of the day.

That a man's station is limited only

That box? No, no, no, that's a bit visible.

That either all of us go...

That go well beyond punching numbers

That I don't deserve a place in this world.

That is a good wish.

That says this isn't just another sideshow novelty.

That sounds an awful lot like humbug.

That was goodbye.

That was great!

That went well.

That word you used to describe my show?

That, or something very wrong.

That's a big word.

That's because I'm selling virtue.

That's brilliant. I mean, the press will go crazy for that story.

That's enough time for us to have at least three drinks, right?

That's genius.

That's good, but I need it five times bigger!

That's not a story.

That's quite enough, sir.

That's right, fat boy!

That's right, you freaks! Your master's calling!

That's what makes our life together so exciting.

The animals? The animals?

The bank is going to need substantial collateral.

The bank...

The best on my side of the Atlantic.

The blueprints crossed my desk very briefly

The creed of a true fraud.

The deed and title to my entire flotilla of trading vessels.

The goat prices go up, so the pork bellies go down.

The honor is mine, Mr. Barnum.

The hospital record says you do.

The loan has to be paid back every month.

The money is gone. All of it.

The most amazing birthday present ever.

The only thing is...

The opera singer?

The pleasure's mine.

The Queen of England! Can't get much better than that.

The Queen Victoria? Is this real?

The Swedish Nightingale...

The tallest giraffe in the world.

The way everyone would look at us.

The way your parents looked at me.

The window.

Then bringing Jenny Lind, then my father the other night.

Then I don't want any part of it.

Then what, boy?

Then you pull us out of the shadows.

Then, meeting the Queen.

There always is, isn't there?

There's a ballet school right down the street.

These are the most famous theaters in the country.

They caught the thugs who started the fire.

They come to see you.

They did. They do.

They don't know it yet...

They don't understand, but they will.

They found skeletons and treasures

They make you buy the seats in advance just to book them.

They may not...

They'll salute.

They're all the rage in Europe. Look.

They're evicting us.

They're small minded people.

They're still taking their seats.

They've never seen before.

Think she likes a man in uniform?

This bank only wants to lend money

This extraordinary machine was originally created

This is a wishing machine.

This is Anne Wheeler.

This is bad.

This is our town, son.

This is so awesome.

This is the great... O'Malley.

This is the life I promised you.

This is your home.

This isn't about me.

This isn't the circus.

This isn't the life I promised you.

This line is so...

This venture you propose is risky and somewhat bizarre.

This venture you propose is risky and somewhat bizarre.

This...

Thomas, help me break this up.

Three meals a day. Roof over your head.

To a reception at Buckingham Palace."

To making dreams come true.

To Miss Lind!

To Mr. Barnum,

To Mr. Barnum.

To orphans and widows.

To people with money.

Tom and Lettie, the others, they've just arrived.

Tom! Up, up!

Trolleys, crates, milk bottles, everywhere they look!

Trust me.

Two, please.

Typhoon sank 'em all.

Uh, excuse me, Jenny.

Uh, I think you're Irish.

Uh, if I may, sir,

Umm...

Unicorns aren't real.

Unique.

Until just last week, on a stormy night,

Until your 40th show...

Up!

Vasily Palvos, sir.

W.D., Anne, I wanna introduce

W.D., where's Anne?

Wait, Daddy!

Walter!

Watching my girls grow up.

We can borrow off the profits, we'll be fine.

We don't have to be the Carlyles.

We don't want you in our city!

We have a show!

We have more protesters every day.

We sold a few.

We think you should leave.

We want our home back.

We'll get married ones, they can share a bunk.

We'll have plenty of profits to go around after this.

We'll still have to board them.

We're the entertainment.

Welcome home, Charity Barnum.

Welcome to the Barnum Museum, where everyone's special...

Welcome to the Barnum Museum.

Welcome to the Barnum Museum.

Well, hyperbole isn't the worst crime.

Well, I didn't think you were long for that job.

Well, I should certainly hope so.

Well, I've read about this German fellow, Lilienthal, I believe, who's developed

Well, if you do say so yourself.

Well, in the world of publicity, there's hardly a difference.

Well, isn't that what makes it fun?

Well, mermaids aren't real either.

Well, Mr. Barnum.

Well, Phineas...

Well, so did I.

Well, thank you for your honesty.

Well, that wasn't the only reason.

Well, then how about you show them a smile? That'd be unusual.

Well, they're laughing anyway, kid,

Well, you're not exactly

What about the magic?

What are they doing here?

What are you doing?

What are you looking at, flop doodle?

What do you call those two girls?

What do you care what Bennett thinks?

What do you mean?

What I have is an overcompensated apprentice.

What is this about?

What is your name?

What kind of museum is it?

What made you decide to come back early?

What singing really is."

What was that?

What will you be doing?

What?

What? Why would you quit?

What? You think I can't spot talent?

What? You're leaving?

What's taking her so long?

What's your wish, Mommy?

Whatever happened to thriving off controversy?
