The Greatest Showman Page #6
Phillip, is that you?
Mother. Father.
This is Anne Wheeler.
Phillip, have you no shame?
To associate yourself with that
Barnum business is one thing...
but parading around with that elf.
Anne.
How dare you speak
to her like that?
- You forget your place, Phillip.
- My place?
Mother, if this is my place, then
I don't wanna be a part of it.
Anne.
- Why do you care what they say?
- It's not just them.
Never had somebody look at you
the way your parents looked at me.
The way everyone would look at us.
You know I want you.
It's not a secret I try to hide.
I know you want me.
So don't keep saying our hands are tied.
You claim it's not in the cards.
And fate is pulling you miles away.
And out of reach from me.
But you're here in my heart.
So who can stop me if I decide
that you are my destiny?
What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine.
Nothing could keep us apart.
You'd be the one
I was meant to find.
It's up to you,
and it's up to me.
No one can say
what we get to be.
So why don't we
rewrite the stars?
Maybe the world could be ours,
tonight.
You think it's easy?
You think I don't want to run to you.
But there are mountains.
we can't walk through.
I know you're wondering why.
Because we're able to be
Just you and me
within these walls.
But when we go outside,
you're gonna wake up and see that
that it was hopeless after all.
No one can rewrite the stars.
How can you say
you'll be mine?
Everything keeps us apart.
And I'm not the one
you were meant to find.
It's not up to you,
it's not up to me.
When everyone tells us what we can be.
How can we rewrite the stars?
Say that the world can be ours,
tonight.
All I want is to fly with you.
All I want is to fall with you.
So just give me all of you.
It feels impossible
It's not impossible.
Is it impossible?
See that it's possible.
How do we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine?
Nothing can keep us apart.
Cause you are the one
I was meant to find.
It's up to you,
and it's up to me.
No one can say
what we get to be.
And why don't we
rewrite the stars?
Changing the world to be ours.
You know I want you.
It's not a secret I try to hide.
But I can't have you.
my hands are tied.
First it was buying a house on
the same street as my parents.
Then meeting the queen.
When will it ever be
enough for you?
I am doing this for
Caroline and Helen.
Look around you.
They have everything.
- You don't understand.
- I do.
No. You don't understand!
How could you?
My father was treated like dirt.
I was treated like dirt.
My children will not be.
You don't need everyone
to love you, Phin.
Just a few good people.
I know that.
- Thank you.
- Sir.
No. Daddy.
Daddy.
Daddy, no. Wait.
- Daddy.
- Go.
Wait, Daddy.
Some people long for a life
that is simple and planned.
Tied with a ribbon.
Some people won't sail the sea
'cause they're safer on land.
To follow what's written.
But I'd follow you
to the great unknown.
Off to a world
we call our own.
Mountains and valleys, and all
that will come in between
desert and ocean
you pull me in
and together
we're lost in a dream.
Always in motion
so I risk it all
just to be with you.
And I risk it all
for this life we choose.
Hand in my hand
and you promised to never let go.
We're walking the tightrope.
High in the sky.
We can see the whole world down below.
We're walking the tightrope.
Never sure,
will you catch me if I should fall?
Well, it's all an adventure
that comes with a breathtaking view.
Walking the tightrope
with you
with you
with you
with you
with you
with you.
"It is as though we've learned
for the first time..."
Miss Lind deserves our nation's highest
esteem and lavish ovations.
- I mean...
- The world at our feet.
Well, Mr. Barnum.
This...
is...
Thank you, Jenny.
It's two hours to curtains.
I've given you the world, haven't I?
I, I should go.
I have become a distraction.
I'm sorry, Jenny.
- You should finish your tour without me.
- What? You're leaving?
- The itinerary is well in hand.
- So that's it.
What do you mean?
I'm just another your acts.
- Jenny.
- I'm done.
Jenny, Jenny, please.
You have to finish the tour.
- Must I?
- It will ruin me.
When you're careless
with other people Mr Barnum...
you bring ruin upon yourself.
- I have risked everything.
- Well, so did I.
And seems we've both lost.
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.
Thank you.
What was that?
That was goodbye.
Thank you very much for coming.
- Say your fancy neighbors.
- What a beautiful show.
Who enjoyed yourselves? You?
Tell everyone how much fun you
had at the circus.
New acts every night.
Hey, ringmaster.
Gentlemen, I am gonna
have to ask you to leave.
This is our town, son.
you and your freaks.
And yours spooks.
Sir.
I will only ask once more.
Then what, boy?
Attack.
Daddy.
- Daddy. Daddy!
- Girls.
You have grown so much.
What made you decide
to come back early?
I missed you.
- That sounds lawful.
- Fire.
- Out of the way. Fire!
- Hurry, it's coming from the circus.
Girls, stay with me.
Come, quickly.
Everyone! Stay close.
Phillip, is everyone out?
Is everyone okay?
The animals?
We set them free.
What else could we do?
- WD, where is Anne?
- Where is Anne?
No, Phillip.
No. Stop.
You can not go inside.
Keep pumping.
- WD.
- There she is.
- Phillip.
- Daddy.
- No dad.
- Daddy.
No.
Stay back, please.
Daddy.
Stretcher, stretcher.
He has taken a lot of smoke.
He's still breathing.
Let's get him on.
Up.
What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were meant to be mine?
Nothing can keep us apart
you are the one I was meant to find.
Here we go.
Come on, straight ahead.
If you had come to gloat
I wouldn't.
They caught the thugs
who started the fire.
I thought you'd like to know.
But I always thought the people did.
They do.
Mind you, I wouldn't call it art.
Of course not.
But...
Putting folks of all kinds on stage.
All colors, shapes, sizes.
Presenting them as equals.
Another critic might have even called it
'a celebration of humanity'.
Well, I hope you'll rebuild.
Thank god for Jenny's tour.
We can borrow off the profits.
We'll be fine.
You don't know?
I'm sorry.
Charity?
Oh God, Charity.
- I am...
- I don't wanna talk to you.
- Nothing happened.
- Ouch, nothing happened.
It's on the cover of
every paper in New York.
Because she orchestrated the photo.
I am not in love with her.
Of course you're not.
