Quotes
-
Lettie Lutz : [singing] When the sharpest words wanna cut me down/Gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out/This is brave, this is bruised, this is who I'm meant to be/This is me.
-
Lettie Lutz : You don't get it, Barnum. It's not about the money. Our own mothers were ashamed of us, they hid us our whole lives.
-
P.T. Barnum : Where is that singing coming from?
[Barnum spots Lettie behind a curtain. She stops singing]
P.T. Barnum : Ma'am, you are...
[he pulls the curtain back, revealing Lettie's bearded face. Barnum pauses]
Lettie Lutz : You need to leave, sir.
P.T. Barnum : You are beautiful. You are unique.
-
Lettie Lutz : Don't start acting sensible now.

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.

P.T. Barnum : Folks, if you're looking to get paid, the money's gone. There's nothing left to give...
Lettie Lutz : 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. Now you're giving up on us too. Maybe you are a fraud. Maybe it was about making a buck. But you gave us a real family.
W.D. Wheeler : And the circus... that was our home. We want our home back.
