Quotes
-
Phillip Carlyle : They come to see you... *Your* crazy ideas, *your* new acts. The unusual...
P.T. Barnum : Well then how about you show them a smile? That'd be unusual.
-
Phillip Carlyle : I can't just run off and join the circus.
P.T. Barnum : Why not? You clearly have a flair for show business.
-
P.T. Barnum : [hands Phillip his top hat] This is for you.
Phillip Carlyle : What will *you* be doing?
P.T. Barnum : Watch my girls grow up. The show must go on.
-
[after Barnum becomes 50/50 partners with Phillip Calyle]
Phillip Carlyle : The only thing is I don't know how we are ever going to afford a building.
P.T. Barnum : Right.
[Long and deep sigh]
P.T. Barnum : We don't need a building. Real estate in Manhattan is a terrible investment. Why, I can get land down by the docks for almost nothing. All we need is a tent!
-
P.T. Barnum : [seeing Jenny for the first time] Who's that?
Phillip Carlyle : The opera singer?
P.T. Barnum : Singer, huh?
Phillip Carlyle : She's the most famous performer in all of Europe. She sold out La Scala a dozen times. Not to mention the French Opera.
P.T. Barnum : Ah.
[he grabs Phillip's arm and leads him forward]
Phillip Carlyle : What are you doing?
P.T. Barnum : Following you, so you can introduce me to Ms. Lynd.
Phillip Carlyle : Introduce you?
P.T. Barnum : Yeah.
Phillip Carlyle : I don't know her.
P.T. Barnum : Everybody knows her. You just said so yourself.
Phillip Carlyle : Yeah, exactly. You don't just march up to someone like this.
P.T. Barnum : Why not? We're personable. She's a person.
-
Mr. Carlyle : Philip, have you no shame? Associating yourself with the Barnum business is one thing, but parading around with the help!
[Anne leaves, humiliated]
Phillip Carlyle : Anne! Anne!
Phillip Carlyle : [turns coldly to his father] How dare you speak to her like that.
Mrs. Carlyle : You forget your place, Philip.
Phillip Carlyle : My place? Mother if this is my place, then I don't want any part of it.
-
Phillip Carlyle : They're small minded people.
-
Phillip Carlyle : Before I met you, I had a name, an inheritance, and an invitation to every party in town. Now thanks to you, all that's gone. All I have is love, friendship, and a work that I adore. You brought joy into my life.
Lettie Lutz : Into all our lives.
Lord of Leeds : Hear, hear!
P.T. Barnum : If only the bank would take joy as collateral.
Phillip Carlyle : Well they might 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.
P.T. Barnum : Phillip, I can't let you gamble it on me.
Anne Wheeler : Sure you can!
Lettie Lutz : Don't turn sensible on us now!
Phillip Carlyle : Partners. 50/50.
-
Phillip Carlyle : Anne, they're small minded people. Why do you care what they think?
Anne Wheeler : It's not just them. You've never had anyone look at you the way your parents just looked at me. The way everyone would look at us.
