James Gordon Bennett
- James Gordon Bennett: Tell me, Mr. Barnum, does it bother you that everything you're selling is fake?
- P.T. Barnum: Do these smiles seem fake? It doesn't matter where they come from. The joy is real.
- James Gordon Bennett: So you are a philanthropist?
- P.T. Barnum: Well, hyperbole isn't the worst crime. Men suffer more from imagining too little than too much.
- James Gordon Bennett: The creed of a true fraud.
- P.T. Barnum: Mr Bennett, when was the last time you smiled? Or had a good laugh? A real laugh. A theater critic who can't find joy in the theater. Now who is the fraud?
- James Gordon Bennett: I never liked your show, but I always thought the people did
- P.T. Barnum: They did. They do!
- James Gordon Bennett: Putting people of all Shapes, Sizes, Colours. Putting them on stage together and presenting them as equals, another critic might have even called it a celebration of humanity.
- P.T. Barnum: I would've liked that.
