from the night sky

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

All the shine of a
thousand spotlights.
All the stars we steal
from the night sky
will 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

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.
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
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.
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.
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.
We'll have plenty of profits
- 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.
go to the theater.
