Liliom

1

Two tickets.

Ladies and gentlemen,

step right up!

Come one, come all

to the Hippo-Palace...

where style meets fun.

Great. You're really getting

a taste for it, madam.

What you need is a subscription.

Take the zebra this time.

That's it, jockey-style. Keep your knees

in tight. Careful with the silk stockings!

Come on, you amazon ladies.

Saddle up quickly.

Half price for the military...

and half price for children.

Hey, skinny,

you're gonna tip us over!

Come on, try sideways!

Step right up!

Who wants a good time?

We give you a good time

and in style!

Step right up.

Take a break

from the other attractions.

We'll show you a good time.

No pushing or shoving.

You're not competing

for a tea set here.

What we offer

is personal pleasure.

Come on, ladies first.

I see we have some high society here.

You want to join in, kids?

Here they are, the real experts.

There's one seat left.

The last! The best!

Who will take it?

What's this?

An important visitor!

Over here, Admiral!

Only half price!

We've got a lot of roll and pitch here,

and rough seas.

Bring your balloons over here.

Don't listen to him.

You'll get seasick.

It'll make you weak.

That's it, step right up!

Push the torpedo boat.

I'll show you how it's done.

Hey, Admiral,

made up your mind yet?

Leave him.

Take a look at these pretties.

You've dreamed about them

in the China Sea.

They're young, they're fresh,

and they're not shy.

To find the same ones in Singapore...

in Tananarive, in Chandernagore...

you'd have to get up real early.

Don't listen to him!

Stay here!

You could be world champion

in three shots.

No need for skill.

All you need is strength.

Watch this! Once.

Twice!

Three times!

There we go!

Now it's your turn.

I'm gonna feel the wind

in my sails again.

Yes, but stay anchored

on the good old earth.

Here, next to Mrs. Aperon.

She fought in the war, you know.

Take it slow. Have fun.

All right, any way you want.

Be careful you don't blow away.

There's a strong wind.

And that makes a full house!

Sorry, madam.

There'll be room on the next ride.

And now let me have

your tickets.

Thanks, sweetheart. Thank you.

I see you're not afraid

of catching a cold.

What will I have the pleasure of singing

for these ladies and gents?

- Something sentimental?

- "Love's Sorrow."

- Silence!

- "Speak To Me of Love."

We'll get to that later!

Silence!

You, the cutie over there!

This is your fourth ride.

What do you want me to sing?

Come on, I'm listening.

- "Come, Child's Child."

- Yes, "Come, Child's Child."

Sold! "Come, Child's Child."

Start the music.

Here we go, gently and slowly.

One, two, three, four...

Come with me, it's spring

The weather's so fair.

That it makes my head spin

I'll take you for a ride

on a carousel pony.

In my neighborhood

there's a party.

Come, child's child

Let's go for a spin.

Let's have a ball

and turn and turn.

Don't be beastly

We'll share true love.

Night and day.

On the carousel horses

we will feel much better.

Holding you tight against me

Cheek to cheek.

We take off happily.

Toward the sky.

Come, child's child

We'll go for a spin.

Here in my arms

We'll speak of love.

Don't be beastly

We'll love each other truly.

You have to grab it!

Hey, you see that?

Liliom's chatting up a young thing.

And he's right to do it.

You have to be friendly to customers.

I really don't care,

but he's going a bit far.

What do you say?

Is Liliom right?

Just being friendly

to the customers?

Go take care of your torpedo boat.

You might have a customer,

though I doubt it.

Very well.

Don't bite, all right?

Did you see this one?

What a beautiful peony!

Someone snatched my peony.

A hooligan stole it from me.

Is that any way to behave?

I'm telling you, sir.

I turn my back for one minute...

and it's gone.

Come on, don't make a scene.

If you want to ramble on,

rent a booth like the rest of us.

Buy yourself a license.

Apologize or you'll be

picked up by the cops.

I want my peony.

Look. Here it is.

- Oh, my peony!

- I didn't mean to yell at you.

Get out of here now.

- That's kind of you, buddy.

- Buddy?

He pushed you off. I saw him.

- That's not true.

- You, beat it!

He picks on women and drunks...

but strong guys like me,

he wouldn't dare.

Drunk?

That'll teach you

to take on my buddy.

Scumbag!

Isn't he strong?

He sure knows a lot of tricks.

You, I know what you are!

What do you think you're doing here?

I'm a working girl.

I have a nice position in a house.

A whorehouse, you mean.

With a license.

Fly legs!

Women who don't behave properly

at the Hippo-Palace, out they go!

Me, not behaving properly?

I know how to behave, madam.

Just what do you take us for?

For a couple of easy women

looking to be fondled by Liliom.

Fondled? I don't let anyone

fondle me.

He was all over you

for a whole ride.

No, madam.

He was leaning against the deer.

A man has the right to lean

wherever he wants.

You are not going to tell

Mr. Liliom not to lean against me...

when he was in fact leaning

against the deer.

"Against the deer." Liar!

- He was holding your waist.

- And if he was? What of it?

- I wasn't talking to you, fish-face.

- He was holding my waist to be polite.

- No kidding. How about the carnation?

- Madam!

Shut up, I tell you!

You were rubbing up against him,

trying to get him excited.

Go back where you came from.

There's no shortage of soldiers!

Be quiet!

I'll do the talking here!

If I ever see you and your friend again

on my carousel horses...

just wait till you see

what's coming to you!

Say what you will...

I paid for five rides.

I've only gone four times so far.

I intend to stay for the next ride.

- We'll see about that.

- Nobody's going to stop me.

Nobody.

Not me, of course.

I wouldn't dirty my paws.

But I'll have my employee

kick you out.

Ah, but you like him

handling you.

Well, you just wait.

Liliom!

Stop! The boss is calling you!

Get over here. Recess is over.

What's up?

Liliom.

There's a little nobody over there

making a scandal.

Just take a look at you!

You hooligan.

Liliom, it's that grasshopper

over there.

I never want to see this again

at the Hippo-Palace!

- Listen, Mr. Liliom...

- Come on, you two.

Come on, down you go.

Come on, shoo!

Come on, Julie.

These are not our kind of people.

Not so quick!

- If she comes back, you chase her off!

- Come on.

Mr. Liliom, please...

tell me honest and truly...

would you throw me out

if I came back to the carousel?

Yes, sweetheart.

I'd throw you out lickety-split...

if someone gave me a good reason.

Thank you, Mr. Liliom.

And I say you'll be thrown out!

I forbid solicitation here.

What? Solicitation?

She claims that you held me

by the waist.

Is there some new rule?

I'm not allowed to be polite

with the ladies anymore?

Do I have to ask permission now?

From whom?

You can play the heartthrob

and knock up all the tramps you want...

but not that one!
