The Greatest Showman Page #4
see I'm doing fine?
I don't need to see the other side.
Now is this really how you
like to spend your days?
Whiskey and misery,
and parties and plays.
If I were mixed up with you,
I'd be the talk of the town.
Disgraced and disowned,
another one of the clowns.
little, finally laugh a little.
Just let me give you the freedom
to dream and it'll wake you up
and cure your aching.
Take your walls and
start 'em breaking.
Now that's a deal that
seems worth taking.
But I guess I'll
leave that up to you.
Well it's intriguing, but
to go would cost me greatly.
So what percentage of the
show would I be taking?
Fair enough, you'd want a
piece of all the action.
I'd give you seven, we could
shake and make it happen.
I wasn't born this morning,
eighteen would be just fine.
Why not just go ahead and
ask for nickels on the dime?
- 15.
- I'm doing eight.
- 12.
- maybe nine
10.
Sir, it looks like you
have yourself a junior partner.
What I have is an
overcompensated apprentice.
Don't you wanna get away to a
whole new part you're gonna play.
'Cause I got what you need, so
come with me and take the ride.
to the other side.
So if you do like I do
So if you do like me.
Forget the cage, 'cause we
know how to make the key.
Oh, damn! Suddenly
we're free to fly.
We're going to the other side.
So if you do like I do.
To the other side.
So if you do like me.
'Cause if we do
we're going to the other side.
Who is that?
Hey. No one is buying hats back here.
Get out front, go.
WD, Anne, I want to introduce my
newest hire, Mr Philip Carlyle.
- It's a pleasure to meet you.
- Yeah, pleasure.
And what is your act, Mr. Carlyle?
I don't have an act.
Everyone has got an act.
- Mr. Barnum.
- Yeah?
You better come see this.
Philip, keep up.
- A bit of nasty element.
- They're always is, isn't it?
Nothing draws a crowd
crying like a crowd.
Go home you freaks.
"Shame of the city".
"The protests amend
Mr. Barnum's reputation..."
"as a previewer of the
offensive and indecent."
"Offensive and indecent."
Mr. Bennett, I'm blushing.
No, I'm blushing.
What do you care what Bennett thinks?
- He's a prick.
- And a snob.
Yeah, all the snobs in the
New York are reading me.
What ever happened to the
thriving of controversy?
Yeah, well...
Look, hey..
- Do you have any thoughts on this?
- Philip.
- As a matter of fact, I do.
- Helen, come on.
"The master of the Household,
has it in the command of the Queen...
To invite Mr. Phineas Barnum and his theatrical
troop to a reception at
Buckingham Palace."
- The Queen Victoria? Is this real?
- I had to pull a few strings.
If you want society to accept you,
you may as well start
at the very very top.
Are we all invited?
I guess I'll just have to tell
or none of us will.
The Queen of England.
Can't get much better than that.
- Why aren't we in tails?
- We are the entertainment.
I don't see you in a costume.
Your Majesty, Mr Phineas
T Barnum and his...
Oddities from America.
Is that real?
Your Majesty,
may I present Mr Barnum.
The honor is mine, Mr. Barnum.
And I've heard all about
your little colonel
from my friends in America.
General, ma'am.
You are even smaller
than I imagined.
Well, you are not exactly reaching
the top self yourself sweetheart.
Ah, that went well.
- Your Majesty.
- Philip.
Miss Jenny Lind.
She is really luminous.
- Who is that?
- The opera singer.
Singer, huh?
She is the most famous
performer in all of Europe.
She has sold out La Scala
a dozen times.
Not to mention
the French Opera.
Striking.
- What are you doing?
- Following you...
so you can introduce
me to Miss Lind.
- Introduce you?
- Yeah.
I don't know her.
Everybody knows her.
You just said so yourself.
Yeah, exactly. You don't just
Why not? We are presentable.
She is a person.
Miss Lind.
My name is Phillip Carlyle.
And this extraordinary
gentleman next to me...
Phineas Taylor Barnum.
The pleasure is mine.
Of course, 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.
of a scoundrel, Mr Barnum.
A showman, Miss Lind, just a showman.
The best on my side of the Atlantic.
- If you just say so yourself.
- I do, but I don't have to.
Oh, no, no.
He is one of the best.
That's very kind of you.
Miss Lind, let me get to the point.
I would like to bring you to New York.
And if you agree...
I will make you the most famous singer
not in Europe but in the entire world.
And have you heard me sing?
- Absolutely.
- No, I haven't.
But like mine, your
reputation precedes you...
and well, I trust your reputation
more than my own taste, so...
I have never been to America.
You will sing in the grandest theater...
with the finest orchestra in the
greatest city on earth.
"Jenny Lind".
"One night only." Or maybe two.
And at 20% at the gate, it will
be a queen's ransom for your..
I gave most of my
earnings to charity, Mr Barnum...
to orphans and widows.
"Voice of a nightingale,
Heart of an Angel."
That's brilliant. I mean the press
will go crazy with that story.
That's not a story.
May I ask you something,
Mr. Barnum?
Anything.
Why me?
People come to my show for the
pleasure of being hoodwinked.
Just once, I would love to
give them something real.
Miss Lind.
Everyone is here. Look at this.
Even the Winthrops.
- Are you happy?
- I will be, if this works.
Oh, God, I hope she can sing.
- What's taking her so long?
- They are still taking their seats.
Speaking of which. Tom and Lettie,
the others, they just arrived.
- What?
- Where should I put them? Your box?
- That box? No, that's pretty visible.
- Visible?
The acoustics are actually
better in the standing room.
- Miss Lind is ready now.
This is so beautiful.
- Isn't that beautiful?
- Yes.
I love it.
Ladies and gentlemen,
thank you for your patience.
I recently had the privilege of
hearing the most divine voice...
- I've ever heard.
- Suddenly he's a connoisseur.
Now, I know that sounds
like Barnum humbug...
but I have a 100 bottles of
good champagne on ice that says
that this is not just
another sideshow novelty.
May I present, the Swedish Nightingale...
Miss Jenny Lind.
I'm trying to hold to my breath
let it stay that way.
Can't let this moment end.
You set off a dream with me.
Getting louder now.
Can you hear it echoing?
Take my hand.
Will you share this with me?
All the shine of a thousand spotlights.
All the stars we steal
