The Greatest Showman Page #5

from the night sky

will never be enough

never be enough.

Towers of gold are still too little.

These hands could hold the world

but it will never be enough

never be enough

for me!

never, never,

never, never,

never for me.

never enough,

never enough,

never enough,

for me, for me

for me.

All the shine of a

thousand spotlights.

All the stars we steal

from the night sky

will never be enough

never be enough.

Towers of gold are still too little.

These hands could hold the world

but it will never be enough

never be enough

for me

never never

never never

never for me

for me

never enough

never, never

never enough for me

for me, for me

for me.

Bravo.

- Bravo.

- Lind.

Superb.

Bravo.

Awesome.

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.

- Yes, I'm studying ballet.

- Oh, are you?

- Of course I am.

- Of course she is.

- And what about you, Helen?

- You look like a princess, ma'am.

I have to admit, Barnum,

she is remarkable.

Enough to bring joy to the

most joyless critic, isn't she?

And in the hands of a real

previewer of the art...

she could be something

in this country.

Shame she's fallen in with you.

You really are better on the page,

Mr Banner. How does that is to believe.

Oh, Mr. Barnum? I would

love to meet Miss Lind.

And you will meet miss Lind

if you just give me a moment...

- Phineas.

- Yes.

You've done well.

Thank you.

Allow me to introduce you.

Excuse me, Jenny.

I would like you to meet Charity's parents.

- Mr and Mrs Hallett.

- Ah, pleasure.

- How do you do? Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

- Mother.

- Hello dear.

- Are these...

- Yes, yes, those are your granddaughters.

- Phineas, not here.

- Not here?

You are afraid that

I'm gonna embarrass your

parents in front of their

fancy friends?

I really don't think

that I have that power.

An insignificant man like me...

was clearly destined

to lead an insignificant life.

All that fortune and still

just a tailor's boy.

Get out.

Well, Phineas...

I believe that I told

you that free champagne

is a recipe for disaster.

Charity.

Now would everyone please

raise their glasses?

To Mr Barnum, who showed

once and for all...

that a man's station is limited

only by his imagination.

- To Barnum.

- Thank you.

To Mr Barnum.

Thank you.

It's hard to understand wealth and

privileges when you're born into it.

I sometimes don't feel

like I belong here.

You?

I was born out of wedlock

and that brought

shame upon my family.

And life always manages

to remind me

that I don't deserve

a place in this world.

And that leaves a hole that

no ovation can ever fill.

Mr. Phineas.

- Lord, that lady can sing.

- I know.

Thinks she likes a man in uniform?

I'm sure she does.

What are you doing here?

You got a show in an hour, OK?

That's enough time for us to have

at least three drinks, right? Come on.

- No no. Lettie.

- What?

It's very crowder in here, okay?

And I can't have you mingling.

Who's gonna pay admission

if you are out there for

all the world to see.

- Have a great show.

- Wait...

Ladies and gentlemen, a toast.

Jenny, America may not know it

yet, but they are going to love you.

To Miss Lind.

I am not a stranger to the dark.

"Hide away," they say.

"'Cause we don't want your broken parts"

I've learned to be

ashamed of all my scars.

"Run away," they say

"No one will love you as you are."

But I won't let them

break me down to dust

I know that there's a place for us.

For we are glorious.

When the sharpest words

wanna cut me down.

I'm gonna send a flood,

gonna drown them out.

I am brave, I am bruised

I am who I'm meant to be

this is me.

Look out 'cause here I come.

And I'm marching on

to the beat I drum.

I'm not scared to be seen

I make no apologies,

this is me.

What are they doing here?

Another round of bullets hits my skin.

Well, fire away.

'Cause today,

I won't let the shame sink in.

We are bursting through the barricades

and reaching for the sun,

we are warriors.

Yeah, that's what we've become.

Won't let them

break me down to dust.

- I know that there's a place for us.

- Freaks, go home.

For we are glorious.

When the sharpest words

wanna cut me down.

Gonna send a flood,

gonna drown them out.

I am brave, I am bruised

I am who I'm meant to be,

this is me.

Look out 'cause here I come.

And I'm marching on

to the beat I drum.

I'm not scared to be seen.

I make no apologies.

This is me

This is me.

And I know that

I deserve your love.

There's nothing I'm not worthy of.

When the sharpest words

wanna cut me down.

I'm gonna send a flood,

gonna drown them out.

This is brave, this is bruised.

This is who I'm meant to be,

this is me.

Look out 'cause here I come.

And I'm marching on to the beat I drum.

Marching on, marching,

marching on.

I'm not scared to be seen.

I make no apologies.

This is me.

When the sharpest words

wanna cut me down.

I'm gonna send a flood,

gonna drown them out

I'm gonna send a flood,

this is me.

Why can't you just put

more shows in New York?

Why do you need t

tour the country?

Why did Napoleon

march on Russia?

Napoleon was defeated.

Napoleon didn't have a 60 piece orchestra.

A 60 piece orchestra.

Just get the cheapest musicians you can,

you watch that.

We still have to aboard them.

Get married ones. They can share a bunk.

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

Costumes sets? Fireworks?

Inside theaters?

That's genius.

No. These are the most famous

theaters in the country.

- They make you buy their seats in advance.

- Yeah, yeah. I took out a loan.

And we have to pay Jenny?

It was a large loan, okay?

You're not gonna see a penny of

profit until your 40th show.

41st actually.

You're risking everything

you've built here.

How do you think I build it?

We'll have plenty of profits

to go around after this.

- P. T?

- What?

Your attention has been

divided long enough.

Our gate is down, we have

more protesters every day.

You just need to get

people to come back.

"If you haven't been to

Barnum museum lately...

You have not been to

the Barnum Museum."

The come to see you.

Your crazy ideas, your

new acts, the unusual.

Then have you show them your smile.

That would be unusual.

Keep rehearsing.

Just make it very clear that I expect

them to afford you all the

deference you deserve...

And that they should

be nice to you anyway.

Ain't that a sight for sore eyes?

- He couldn't even say hello.

- Or goodbye.

He is going on tour.

Sorry guys.

Pull yourself together, Carlyle.

Don't you have somewhere to be?

Anne Wheeler.

Mr. Barnum said he

left a ticket for me.

I'm sorry.

- I believe this one supposed to be one.

- No, there's meant to be two.

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

Five minutes to curtains.

I've always wanted to

go to the theater.
