Can a full grown woman truly love a Midget? (taglines)

Phroso

So, you finally got wise to yourself, did ya? It's a funny thing about you women. Most of you don't get wise soon enough! You wait until you're so old, nobody wants ya.

That's it, that's it. Go ahead and laugh. It's funny, ain't it? Yeah. Women are funny, ain't they? They're all tramps, ain't they? Yeah. Except when you can get money from them!

You dirty, slimy, freaks! Freaks, freaks, freaks! You fools! Make me one of you, will you?

How many times have I told you not to be frightened. Have I not told you, God looks after all his children!

We didn't lie to you folks. We told you we had living, breathing, monstrosities. You laughed at them, shuddered at them. And, yet, but for the accident of birth, you might be one as they are. They did not ask to be brought into the world. But, into the world they came. Their code is a law unto themselves: offend one and you offend them all.

Hans: Are you laughing at me?

Cleopatra: Why no, monsieur.

Hans: Thanks, I'm glad.

Cleopatra: Why should they laugh at you?

Hans: Most big people do, they don't realize that I'm a man with the same feelings they have.

Phroso: Don't go out filling your hide with a lot of booze celebrating. 'Cause fun what's got that way never done NO one no good. Get me?

Venus: I got ya'. [stops and takes a closer look at Phroso] Say, you're a pretty good kid!

Phroso: You're darn right I am! You should have caught me before my operation!

Venus: She's still after Hans, ain't she?

Frieda: Yeah. Always she's smiling by him.

Venus: Yeah. Well, if she's smiling by somebody I know, she'll have to buy herself a new set of teeth!

Frieda: Why is it, we women always have stuff to worry.

Venus: Oh, it's always been that way. I guess it always will be.

Frieda: I was saying, tonight you must not smoke such a big cigar. Your voice was very bad at tonight's show.

Hans: Please, Frieda, don't tell me what I do. When I want a cigar, I smoke a cigar. I want no orders from a woman.

Hercules: I'm tired of spending time and money on somebody like you.

Venus: Yeah, your time, but my money.

All Freaks: We accept her--one of us--gooble, gobble--we accept her--one of us--gooble, gobble...
