Not with her, not with me,

not with anyone.

Just you and your show.

What are you doing?

I'm going home.

This is your home.

The bank..

They are evicting us.

Why didn't you ask me before?

I would have said yes.

I never minded the risk,

but we always did it together.

Figured you'd end up here.

Feeling sorry for yourself?

Folks if you have come to get paid,

the money's gone. All of it.

- Nothing left to give...

- Shut up, Barnum.

You just don't get it.

Our own mothers were ashamed of us.

Hid us our whole lives.

Then you pull us out of the shadows.

And now you are giving upon us too.

Maybe you are fraud.

Maybe it was just about making a buck.

But you gave us a real family.

And the circus...

That was our home.

We want our home back.

I saw the sun begin to dim.

And felt that winter wind

blow cold.

A man learns who is there for him.

When the glitter fades

and the walls won't hold.

'Cause from then, rubble

one remains.

Can only be once true.

If all was lost.

There's more I gained.

Cause it led me back

to you.

I drank champagne

with kings and queens

the politicians praised my name.

But those are someone else's dreams.

The pitfalls of the man I became.

For years and years

I chased their cheers.

The crazy speed of always needing more.

But when I stop and see you here

I remember who all this was for

and from now on.

These eyes will not be

blinded by the lights.

From now on.

What's waited till tomorrow

starts tonight

it starts tonight.

And let this promise in me start.

Like an anthem in my heart

from now on

from now on

from now on.

And we will come back home

home again.

And we will come back home

home again.

And we will come back home

home again.

From now on we will come back home.

And we will come back home

home again.

And we will come back home.

And we will come back home

home again.

And we will come back home.

And we will come back home

home again.

And we will come back home

from now on

and we will come home again

from now on

home again

from now on.

These eyes will not be

blinded by the lights!

From now on!

What's waited till tomorrow

starts tonight!

It starts tonight.

Let this promise in me start.

Like an anthem in my heart

from now on

from now on and we

will come home again.

And we will come back home

home again.

And we will come back home

home again.

You are here.

From now on

from now on

home again

from now on

from now on

home again

from now on

from now on

home again.

- Caroline.

- He's here.

I would like to see my wife.

She's not here.

She's at the beach.

I have brought hardships

on you and our family.

You warned me...

and I wouldn't listen.

I just wanted...

I wanted to be more than I was.

I never wanted anything but

the man I fell in love with.

Let this promise in me start.

Like an anthem in my heart

however big

however small

from now on.

From now on.

- The bank said no?

- Emphatically. And repeatedly.

I don't think there is a

bank left in this country...

I can fool into loaning

me more money, so...

I'm really sorry to disappoint you all.

Don't worry, Barnum.

We've gotten used to it by now.

You know, Barnum...

when I first met you...

I had an inheritance, claim...

and an invitation to every party in town.

And now thanks to you.

All that's gone.

All that's left is this friendship, love

and work that I adore.

You brought joy into my life.

- Into all our lives.

- Yeah.

I need a bank who takes joy as collateral.

They may not...

But I will.

I own 10% of the show.

Knowing who I was working for...

I had the good sense to take my cut weekly.

Phillip, I can't let you gamble it on me...

Sure you can.

Don't turn sensible on us now.

Partners.

Fifty fifty.

Partners.

The only this is...

I don't know how we're

gonna afford a building.

Right.

We don't need a building.

Real estate in Manhattan

is a terrible investment.

I can get a land down by the

docks for almost nothing.

All we need is a tent.

This is the most beautiful show.

- Come on.

Colossal we calm these

renegades in the rain

where the lost get found in

the crown of the circus cage.

Don't fight it, it's coming

for you, running at ya.

It's only this moment, don't

care what comes after.

It's blinding outside and

I think that you know.

Just surrender 'cause you're

calling and you wanna go.

Where it's covered in

all the colored lights.

Where the runaways are running the night.

Impossible comes true,

intoxicating you.

Oh, this is the greatest show.

We light it up,

we won't come down.

And the sun can't stop us now.

Watching it come true,

it's taking over you.

Oh, this is the greatest show.

It's everything you ever want.

It's everything you ever need.

And it's here right in front of you.

This is where you wanna be.

It's everything you ever want.

It's everything you ever need.

And it's here right in front of you.

This is where you wanna be.

This is where you wanna be.

When it's covered in all the colored lights.

Where the runaways are running the night.

Impossible comes true,

- This is for you.

it's taking over you

Oh, this is the greatest show.

- What are you going to do?

- Watching my girls grow up.

The show must go on

- We won't come down.

And the sun can't stop us now.

Watching it come true,

it's taking over you.

This is the greatest show.

When it's covered

in all the colored lights.

Where the runaways are running the night.

Impossible comes true,

it's taking over you.

Oh, this is the greatest show

we won't come down.

And the walls can't stop us now.

I'm watching it come true,

it's taking over you.

Oh, this is the greatest show.

'Cause everything you want

is right in front of you.

And you see the

impossible is coming true.

And the walls can't stop us now, yeah.

This is the greatest show.

This is the greatest show!

Daddy.

Hey, girls.

Hey. Out of the way.

This is the greatest show.

This is the greatest show.

This is the greatest show.

This is the greatest show.

This is the greatest show.

This is the greatest show.

This is the greatest show.

It's everything you ever want.

It's everything you ever need.

And it's here right in front of you.
