Phillip Carlyle Quotes

Phillip Carlyle: Sir, it looks like you have yourself a junior partner.

P. T. Barnum: What I have is an overcompensated apprentice.

P. T. Barnum:

Now is this really how you like to spend your days?

Whiskey and misery, and parties and plays

Phillip Carlyle:

If I were mixed up with you, I’d be the talk of the town

Disgraced and disowned, another one of the clowns

P. T. Barnum:

But you would finally live a little, finally laugh a little

Just let me give you the freedom to dream and it’ll

Wake you up and cure your aching

Take your walls and start ’em breaking

Now that’s a deal that seems worth taking

But I guess I’ll leave that up to you

Phillip Carlyle: Do you understand that just associating with you could cost me my inheritance?

P. T. Barnum: Oh, it could cost you more than that. You’d be risking everything. But, on the other hand, well, you just might find yourself a free man.
