Dear Diary It was a Saturday, the Third of September,
that the world as l had known was forever doomed.
The shadows that had sheltered me were banished by the blinding light of scrutiny.
I knew I was about to enter the gates of hell.
But like the inescapable pull of gravity,
there was nothing I could do about it.
Mrs. Tattler?
Mrs. Tattler, itâ€˜s Bill Palmer.
Your milkman.
Mrs. Tattler?
Oh. sweet Jesus.
Straight to the operating suite!
One bladder.
Three kidneysâ€"
two on the Ieï¬‚ and one on the right.
Nurse, Are you writing this down?
Yes, Doctor.
Four lungs.
Two hearts with a shared circulatory system.
"The victimâ€˜ 63-yearÂ»old Eudora Tattler,
was thought by neighbors to have lived alone
The unfortunate creature discovered at the crime scene,
who witnesses are describing as â€˜monstrously deformed.â€™
may be a relation, sources say.â€
I don't blame the old lady for keeping it hidden.
If I gave birth to something like that Iâ€™d drown it in the bathtub ï¬rst thing.
Penny. thatâ€™s terrible.
You better not let Miss Kilgreen hear you talking like that,
Or catch you wearing red lips on the floor.
Sheâ€™s already got it in for you.
I have rounds.
Can I help you?
l have come to visit my poor ailing aunt.
But I have trouble navigating your halls.
Um. youâ€™re not supposed to smoke in this wing, maâ€™am.
Oh, it's fine. It's Lucky Strike Itâ€˜s good for you.
Here, Have one. Go ahead.
Go ahead. try it,
So, tell me, my peppermint angel.
I could not help but see a police ofï¬cer sitting outside one of the doors.
Yeah, Thatâ€™s on account of whatâ€™s in there.
And what is in there?
I read in the papers that something quite extraordinary was brought in here.
â€œExtraordinaryâ€?
I guess to the bumpkins in this town maybe.
Make it youâ€™re not fond of the sleepy little hamlet of Jupiter.
So, to fill the idle hours, you volunteer here?
Hell. my mom made me. lt was this or reform school.
Oh. you are young and full of life
You should not be surrounded by death and disease.
[Speaks German]
Life is to be lived.
You said it, sister,
[Laughs] Here. I know what a girl like you needs.
â€œFraulein Elsaâ€™s Cabinet of Curiositiesâ€?
What is it?
Only by entering will you learn its secrets.
Oh, miss. You donâ€™t want to go in there, believe me.
Will I find a monster? That's what the papers are saying, Ofï¬cer Pipes.
Papers ain't lying.
All the more reason to allow in just a touch of human kindness.
Donâ€™t you agree?
Oh.
I don't know you.
What pretty girls you are.
And so fortunate to have a sister.
You will need something to wear when you leave here
I will be honest.
It was quite eerie out there at your farmhouse.
Violence lingers in the air.
Why is she being so nice to us ?
She wants something.
They called you dim-witted in the newspapers,
because you don't speak.
But someone reads.
And my intuition tells me...
it wasn't your dear departed mama.
Betty Grable is my favorite.
Thereâ€˜s a bit of Betty about you.
Sensual lips.
That sassy smile.
I've had a long and complicated love affair with show business myself. you know.
Have you ever met Betty?
Our paths nearly crossed,
But fate intervened.
When we lived in Alabama, I saw her in Tin Pan Alley.
Shut up! What's wrong with you?
Anyway.
Letâ€™s have a look at you, Lefty, hmm?
You're no Betty Grable,
But you do remind one of Jean Arthur.
Have you ever had a boyfriend? Either of you?
I must confessâ€"
One of your doctors shared your X-ray reports with me
It says you have two hearts,
but only one...
reproductive system.
Complicated. no?
Tell me.
Has anyone tasted your cherry pie?
Oh, dear God, She is a psycho pervert
She's down to earth is all.
So, you're virgins?
Sad for you.
But do you at least pleasure yourselves?
She never wants that.
I hate you
If I touch myself,
she closes her eyes and pretends she doesnâ€™t feel anything.
She told me she leaves her body,
I think sheâ€™s lying. I think she likes it.
Shut your disgusting mouth, you slut!
And you ..
get out of this room,
You rest now.
But Iâ€™ll be back.
I never give up on a friend. meine Liebchen.
[ Door Slams ]
[ Women] Dreaming
[Kisses]
Dreaming of you
[ Woman Solo ] With my eyes Wide open
I'm dreaming
Donâ€™t stop.
Come on. I want to do it. We can't afford a baby.
Well. I stole two rubbers from Druckerâ€™s...
because I just canâ€™t get enough of you.
l have something for you too. Itâ€˜s in my car.
Stay here.
I'm dreaming
You're with me now, sharing a vow
Never to part
[ Continues ]
[ Sighs ] Okay.
[ Footsteps ]
[Gasps ]
[Breathing Heavily]
Umâ€˜ who are you?
[Gasps, Giggles]
[Gasps ]
Oh. for me. Oh. okay.
Thank you.
Whatâ€" What happened to the rest of your mask?
â€" Who the hell is this? - Y-You didnâ€˜t hire him?

[Knife Piercing Flesh ]
[Groans ]
Ohâ€˜ no. [ Groans ]
No!
[ Radio : Pop ]
I Look good in your short-shorts
I really go for your tan Down at the beach
I Well, let's get lovey-dovey Down at the beach
[ Continues ]
Clipping coupons?
Itâ€™s a review from Stage Fright,
Dietrich's new film.
Clearly Mr. Hitchcock had some kind of mental break...
when he cast her in this picture.
Here. look, Look at all of them. Here.
This one is from The Garden of Allahâ€˜ calling her box office poison.
They paid her $200,000...
to take a hot shit on that movie.
I-I donâ€™t get to the movies much.
Reï¬ll. Refill!
Yeah. I wanna kiss your lips, if you â€˜re ready or no!
[Muttering in German]
[Woman Giggling]
Down at the beach Down at the beach
I'm serious, I'm serious, Iâ€˜m not kiddingâ€˜ okay?
I can ride a motorbike like the wind.
[ Man ] Yes. And, waitâ€"
I can show you.
Because you look good in your short-shorts Down at the beach
I really go for your tan
[ Man ] We'll go around the block a couple times
[Waitress] A couple times? Yeah
- You can check out my place, - [ Waitress ] Why donâ€™t you just take me home?
[Man ] Home? Yeah, thatâ€˜s great.
Fancy meeting you here.
I canâ€™t seem to get this thing to work.
Would you try?
Is this your mom?
[Both Chuckle]
Hit the road, toots,
You selfish good-for-nothing!
I find us this place that can be a home,
where we can expand our show,
build an audience,
become a destination,
and you're going to risk it all for some floozy?
I heard what the landlord said They donâ€™t want us here anymore.
You're living in your own dream. Elsa.
Now, be careful with these, Ma Petite
l have only two pair left,
Okay, Miss Elsa. Theyâ€™re so pretty.
They are so pretty, just like you.
Now, fold for Mama.
Where were we, Herr Haddonfield?
No offense, Miss Elsa, but I lost four toes to frostbite.
in the Ardennes in the winter of â€™44.
Itâ€™s Mr. Haddonfield, not â€œHerr â€
You Americans are so sensitive You won the war.
I'm going to need you and your troupe to vacate the field.
But you gave us a year's lease! Weâ€˜ve barely been here two months!
No oneâ€˜s coming to see your shows.
Yes. but I'm scouting new acts, Thereâ€™s a change in the air.
I admire your spirit, Miss Elsa. I do.
But thereâ€™s a revival coming down from Georgia next weekend.
Preacher wants to plant his tent right here.
And he pays in advance.
In cash.
Hmph.
If it were up to me, Iâ€˜dâ€" [Sighs]
My wife doesnâ€™t like having the freaks staying in the field.
Sheâ€™s having nightmares,
My monsters wouldnâ€˜t hurt a fly!
So pretty, no? Made in Belgium. Just for me.
You know, Mr. Haddonfield,
you were our savior.
[Chuckles ]
I think I have a bottle of Schnapps.
Perhaps you would like to come in and see the inside of a starâ€™s palace? Hmmâ€™?
I still canâ€™t figure out how you got another month out of him.
Mind your business.
What, do you think all your charm...
is going to make that girl blind to your deformities?
What happens when she sees you? All of you?
[Chuckles ]
You know where youâ€˜re going to end up.
Where they send indigent freaksâ€"
the state madhouse.
And what about your mother? Huh?
You want her to die drooling in some hideous asylum?
We both know thatâ€™s probably where sheâ€˜s headed anywayâ€" where weâ€˜re all headed.
- It's over, Elsa! - Youâ€˜re wrong!
Things are going to change. I have a plan.
You mind closing out your check now? Iâ€™m going on break.
Oh, darling,
it's on the house.
Stars never pay,
[ Fanfare ]
It was once a day. Now it's only once a week.
Once a week?
Iâ€˜m lucky if it happens once a year.
It's a wonder Eddie Jr. was conceived at all.
Every Thursday night at 9:00 PM..,
he turns on Dragnet and climbs on top of me.
He hasnâ€™t been the same since Korea.
[Woman Sighs. Laughs] I know I must surrender
To your kiss of fire
Just like a torch, you set the soul
Within me burning
I must go on
Along this road of no returning
And though it burns me and it turns me into ashes
My whole world crashes It's your turn, Myrna.
Without your kiss of ï¬re
Where did you find it ?
[Chuckles ] I took in that new roadside attraction.
Wandered into an empty tent, and the real show began. [ Giggles ]
Donâ€˜t be afraid.
Oh, youâ€˜ll be so relaxed after.
lf I'm a slave
Then it's a slave I want to be
Don't pity me Gather round, ladies !
Don't pity me I'm not much of a public speaker
but this new product is a lifesaver for the American housewife.
[Woman Continues] If youâ€™re very quiet you can hear a burp.
You hear that ?
That is the patented seal of freshness.
I feel that I must have your kiss although it dooms me
Though it consumes me
Your kiss of ï¬re
[ Continues ]
Since ï¬rst I kissed you my heart was yours completely
Donâ€˜t worry. I donâ€™t bite.
lf Iâ€˜m a slave
Then it's a slave I want to be Come here, baby.
Give me your lips, the lips you only let me borrow
Love me tonight and let the devil take tomorrow
I know that I must have your kiss
Although it dooms me
Though it consumes me
Your kiss
Oh, yes!
- Fire - [ Moaning ]
Oh, yes !
What do you suppose the police will ask us when they come?
Theyâ€™ll want to hear everything about what happened.
You know, we didnâ€™t really see much.
Let me do the talking
What did you see?
Tell me about your terrible tragedy.
It was a robbery gone bad.
I'm sure the man was enraged when he found we had nothing to steal.
It was a moonless night.
Bette was asleep, but something woke me.
I heard footsteps.
[ Scream ]
[Knife Stabbing]
So you saw just that one man?
He had on a fedora, a black fedora.
And he reeked of Aqua Velva
It was terrible.
First, he strangled Mama with her own necklace while she was doing needlepoint.
- Shut up. Bette ! - Very interesting.
That would make a terrifying movie.
If it hadn't already been done.
- What are you talking about? - The original Gaslight.
Strangled by her own necklace...
while she was doing needlepoint.
Bette, if you are going to talk,
make sure what comes out of your mouth is more than just a regurgitated plot.
- She knows, - And Dot.
Even I am aware ..
that your mother died two days before you were found with fresh wounds.
You two should try harder to get your story straight...
before the coppers show up.
[Crickets Chirping ]
We interrupt this program to bring you breaking news.
Jupiter Police have conï¬rmed the identity...
of the two bodies found murdered in their home...
in the quiet enclave of Bridgewater.
Jeffrey and Mildred Bachman had been dead for at least a week...
before neighbors made the horriï¬c discovery
[Breathing Heavily]
[ Screaming ]
Neighbors described the brutal scene as.
and I quote, â€œa bloodbath. â€
[Breathing Heavily]
Corey Bachman, the couple's eight-year-old son, remains missing.
[ Screaming ]
This recent discovery,
the killing of Troy Miller and the abduction of Bonnie Lipton,
along with the death of Eudora Tattler,
bring to four the number of shocking murders...
that have terrified the residents of our peaceful hamlet...
In the past two weeks.
Although police have not yet conï¬rmed a connection,
the grim fact that a similar weapon was involved in all four killings. . .
leads this reporter to conclude...
a single maniac is preying upon the citizens of Jupiter township.
One can only hope that, when justice comes,
it will be swift and ï¬nal
[ Sniffles ]
Hey. Hey, come here.
Here.
We should both eat.
There you go. Take that.
Donâ€™t worry. Somebody will find us.
Your parents are never gonna stop looking for you.
I think he killed my parents.

Oh, clown, youâ€˜reâ€" you're so talented.
Please. release us so we can tell the world.
Please?

Please.

[Corey] Donâ€™t! Stop!
Please! Please!
[Screaming Continues]
I like this one, It's trashy. Drop it
You're so mean. We have to go.
Go where, meine Lieben? Hmm?
I went to the hospital, They said you had disappeared into the shadows.
I saw men there asking about you. Detectives.
We're not afraid of the police.
No? Have you seen the papers?
A spree. they are calling it.
A murderous tear started by... you?
But it isnâ€™t true.
â€œOld Sparky.â€ Thatâ€™s what they call the electric chair at Florida State Prison.
Even if only one of you is found guilty,
the other one will go with her to the chair.
Unless they separate you ï¬rst.
Leave her alone. Oh.
Trying to protect your sister?
You couldn't protect your mother.
Singin' the Rain is playing at the Majestic in West Palm.
Please take us, Mother.
We can sneak in after it starts.
It'll be dark. No one will see us.
Bette, I wonâ€™t have any more of this foolishness.
What do you think would become of our lives...
if people round here learned what lived on this farm?
What are our lives now? It's a prison.
Youâ€™re too young to remember what happened in Alabama,
why we had to leave in the dead of night.
I want to see the movie.
l want to see it now! In glorious Technicolor!
I said that's enough!
You canâ€˜t keep us here. Itâ€˜s not right.
- It s not right! - She didnâ€˜t know what she was doing,
No, but you did, You could have stopped her, and you didnâ€™t.
Bette, what have you done?
- It's not right. Itâ€˜s not right! - Bette, stop!
You are both guilty.
Perhaps you even more so, Dot,
After all, wasnâ€˜t it you who then stabbed your sister?
[Screaming Gasping]
You were punishing her.
Not for her crime, but for your own.
What do you want?
To save you.
Oh.
To save youâ€" save you. Of course.
Dear Diary.
It was the glorious third of September...
when I was ï¬nally freed from the shadows
The future had never seemed brighter.
Letâ€™s hope they start bringing in some paying customers, huh?
Dear Diary, I have seen my future.
It is pink and wrapped in silk.
I never thought my escape from darkness could be so complete.
I found myself in the middle of a movie star's palace,
Elsa's tent is the epitome of glamour
There Is only one law hereâ€" the bigger the star, the bigger the rent.
Glorious freedom,
For the ï¬rst time in my life, I dare to imagine myself surrounded by beauty.
Dear Diary.
My soul plumbs new depths of despair,
I long for the quiet of the farm,
the warmth of my bed,
the smell of ï¬‚owers outside my window,
Iâ€˜m surrounded by a cesspool of activity
No words can do justice...
to the depravity that permeates the grounds
A creature they call Meep the Geek chews off the heads of living tinhgs...
for sport and amusement,
darkening further the edges of my nightmares.
[ Muttering ]
Hey, don't be scared.
Meep just got a little excited.
Itâ€™s not every day he comes across two beauties in one body.
Hi. I'm Jimmy.
Jimmy Darling.
Though even in [he darkest of night...
the promise of dawn beckons
Perhaps worst of all is a bearded lady named Ethel,
who serves as Elsa's henchwoman,
the Sasquatch champion of law and order in this hellish sty.
You heard me right, Diary, A lady with a beard.
She wonâ€™t let me eat.
Stop this foohshness, Dot.
You need your strength to perform.
I'm gonna sit here and watch you eat that entire bowl.
And youâ€" if you try to stop her,
Iâ€™m gonna slap your ass silly into next week, swear to God.
You ungrateful little bitch,
After all Elsaâ€™s done for you,
She rescues the wretched and unloved and gives them a home,
Thatâ€™s what she did for you,
- Thatâ€˜s what she did for me. - She did ?
I'd fallen on hard times.
Developed a taste for rye whiskey.
And I wound up in the drunk tank.
[Ethel] Thalâ€™s where Elsa found me
She reunited me with my boy.
Best of all, she put me back on the stage, where I belong.
ltâ€™s your turn now. You're gonna be big stars
You're gonna pack that tent, night after night.
The hell we will.
We're nobodyâ€˜s trained monkey.
Donâ€™t you get it?
This place is as good as it gets for folks like us.
Itâ€™s the bitter end.
But we take care of each other.
That's why Elsa brought you hereâ€" to be our headline act.
Good God Almighty. I hope you got talent.
Right now, you're the only hope we got.
So eat up!
Up two inches on your side, Evie.
Okeydokey, but weâ€™re out in the sticks.
- And this sign is rinky-dink, - You think everythingâ€™s rinky-dink.
I don t like this, Jimmy. I donâ€˜t like this at all.
Cops already been snooping around once.
And now you say theyâ€™re looking for these two?
Should we really be putting up a banner?
Whole thing gives me an itch.
- What if we get raided? - [Jimmy] You're not worried?
[ Scoffs ] Why should I be? I survived the Stasi.
I think I can deal with the simpletons...
of the Jupiter Police Department.
Iâ€™ll tell them the twins have been with us a month.
It was only when they went back to check on their darling mother...
that they were attacked.
You worry about the banner.
Iâ€™ll take care of everything else.
I really hope Elsa knows what sheâ€™s doing.
You gotta look on the sunny side.
[Tires Squealing]
Hey! Itâ€™s the freaks,
[Shouting Chattering] Lookee here !
- Ah, shit. - Freaks! Damn freaks!
Assholes! Come say that to my face!
Relax.
Sometimes I canâ€™t take it.
The way they look at us, The way they treat us, It ainâ€™t right.
That's showbiz.
[Film Prejector Whirring]
- Would you like some help with that? - Not on your life.
I'm glad to see you taking time to enjoy yourself.
You spoil me, my darling.
I got to get the hell out of here. This place is a snake pit!
I gotta get back to my life, my family, my church my people!
The opium does that to you. Leaves you in a cranky mood when you smoke too much.
But I agree. You shouâ€˜d go home now. before you become addicted.
Ethel, will you fetch her candy striper uniform?
We even washed it for you. Now, listen. Schatzi.
Remember, when you leave here,
you say nothing about your time with us.
Are you nuts? I was drugged. ravaged.
Everyone needs to know what goes on out hereâ€" the real freak show!
Oh, noâ€˜ my darling. You are confused.
You liked it here with usâ€" No.
You loved it.
Do you see anyone being ravaged,..
or tortured against her will? Huh?
Looks to me like a young woman...
who is taking her own pleasure...
for the very ï¬rst time,
I liked it.
I can still feel them.
All over me.
Inside me.
[Sighs ]
[Elsa ] Now, now. Thereâ€˜s nothing to be ashamed of
Iâ€™m gonna tell. Theyâ€™re depraved monsters!
I'll tell you who the monsters are!
The people outside this tent!
In your town. in all these little towns.
Housewives pinched with bitterness,
stupefied with boredom as they doze off. .
in front of their laundry detergent commercials...
and dream of strange, erotic pleasures.
They have no souls.
My monsters the ones you call depraved,
they are the beautiful, heroic ones.
They offer their oddity to the world.
They provide a laugh, or a fright.
to people in need of entenainment.
Everyone is living the life they chose.
But youâ€"
you undoubtedly...
will be one of those soulless monsters.
Perhaps... you already are, hmm?
Miss Elsa, Miss Elsa!
A chauffeur in a big car came and bought out the whole show tonight!
[Laughing] No !
What did your Fraulein Elsa tell you?
I knew it would work.
That banner is bringing them in.
Those twinsâ€˜ they are going to save us.
You see, peppermint girl? Everything works out,
Looks like my pipe will stay nice and full...
should you hear a sirenâ€˜s call.
[Ethel] $18? Thatâ€˜s all?
One of them finished so fast, I felt bad charging at normal price.
Well, nice donâ€™t pay the bills.
Nobody saw you leave, did they?
Nope. Left through the back door.
Mama,
Iâ€™m tired of leaving through back doors...
like a common criminal.
We deserve a better life. We all do.
- We could leave this place, - Absolutely not.
Elsaâ€™s doing the best she can, Times are tough.
Thanks to Red Skelton and Lucille Ball,
folks are getting their jollies at home now
We gotta stick together. These are our people.
Our people are a bunch of drunks.
Carnies drown their sorrows in a little hooch. So what?
So what? They have programs for people like that now. Support groups,
I can get them help. A clean start. We can get out of this dump.
- You watch your mouth. - I've had it!
I want out!
There's gotta be a place somewhere, anywhere!
We could buy a tract of land on the cheap. plant crops, live off the land.
What, so now youâ€™re Moses leading the Israelites?
Well, why not? I want a normal life.
There is no normal for us, Jimmy.
You want to be a hero, you go talk to those twins. Make â€™em eat.
Make â€™em like it here.
But no ï¬‚ipper action.
No.
No, get away. Get away, get away!
No. get away, get away, get away!
Whatâ€˜s going on here?
I gotta thank you.
That sign you freaks put up helped me find my two main suspects.
Bette and Dot Tattler, youâ€˜re under arrest for murder.
- That hurts, Itâ€™s too tight, - Hold on a second. Detective,
Bette and Dot are victims too, They were stabbed themselves.
Is that why they ran from the hospital?
Their mother died days before they were attacked,
and there's no sign of any forced entry at the house.
Way I see it, they murdered their mother, and then they tried to cover it up.
Wouldnâ€™t surprise me if they were involved with the killing at the lake...
and the Bachman murder.
Lies, Youâ€˜re telling lies.
So thatâ€˜s it? Case closed? Look at 'em
They're monsters. Juryâ€™s gonna have no problem seeing that.
- Donâ€™t call them monsters. - I call a spade a spade.
Now, you should get out of my way.
[Whistles ]
I canâ€™t let you take them.
â€" And whoâ€™s gonna stop me? â€" [ Gun Cocks]
You and your miscreants?
Come tomorrow morning, my boys are gonna come over here and run you out of town.
There is no place in Jupiter for freaks.
Don't call us freaks!
I'll call you whatever the hell I want to, you freakâ€"
[ Choking ]
You saved us.
And you're gonna save us.
[Thunder Rumbling]
Do you like your seat. Dandy?
Theyâ€™re all my seats, I could sit anywhere I like.
Yes. you can.
I like the one you're in.
How's that?
Better. The seatâ€™s warm.
Mother made it toasty for you.
Can you see okay, darling? There's nothing to see.
Where are the freaks?
[Sighs ] Iâ€˜m getting bored.
I donâ€™t like this, Mother.
Remember what Dr. Peterson said.
If you allow yourself to become agitated, that nasty rash will come back.
You donâ€™t want that, do you?
[Man] Places, everyone!
Pepper, Salty, move your asses!
Freaks!
On in five, darling,

Elsa Mars.
Itâ€™s a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mommy is yelling. â€œNo"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For sheâ€˜s lived it 10 times or more
She could spit m the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors ï¬ghting in the dance hall
Oh. man. look at those cavemen go
Itâ€™s the freakwest show
Is there life on Mars?
But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause I wrote it 10 times or more
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on
Sailors ï¬ghting in the dance hall
Oh. man. look at those cavemen go
Itâ€™s the freakwest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh, man Wonder if heâ€™ll ever know
He's in the best-selling show
Is there life on Mars?
Youâ€˜re not supposed to be back here.
Care for a cigarette? I'd love one, thanks.
how much?
- My monsters aren â€™t prostitutes - You misunderstand.
We don't want to buy anyone for the night, We want to buy them. Period.
$5,000.
For one. maybe.
- But there are two beauties here. - Okay, $10.000.
Have you any idea what kind of box office theyâ€™ll bring in..,
over the next year?
Theyâ€™re my headliners.
Let's ask them.
Do you think $10,000 is a fair price for you?
$15.000. and not one penny more.
Unless she grows another head.
We're staying right here. This is our home.
Darlings. Thatâ€™s just what I wanted to hear.
I knew it.
One night in the spotlight, and you've got the bug.
Youâ€˜re one of us.
You see, we are a troupe of entertainers.
A family,
And you will not spllt up our family.
Come, Dandy. I need a long, hot bath.
Though nothing will wash away the ghastly memory of that infernal caterwauling.
By far the most freakish thing of all tonight...
was your pathetic attempt at singing.
[Stamps Foot]
Friends.
This lawman was supposed to protect and serve the innocent.
But instead, he judged us guilty...
before he even set foot into our camp.
All we've ever wanted was a place where we could feel safe...
and be just the way we are.
But no one is gonna hand it to us.
We're gonna have to rise up and take it.
- Donâ€™t we deserve to be happy? - Yeah!
When bad things keep happening to good people,
you start to question what is right and what is wrong.
Well. I say itâ€™s time we make our own right and wrong.
I say itâ€™s wrong for them to treat us like shit...
and kick us around like the scum of the earth!
They want to call us monsters? Fine. Weâ€™ll act like monsters.
From this day on,
if anyone tries to mess With usâ€" any of usâ€" â€™cause youâ€™re one of us nowâ€"
theyâ€™re going to end up like this pig
Lets show 'em what we can do.
To the worms!
You missed dinner, hon,
The gangâ€™s over the moon.
Soldâ€"out show and all tonight.
Itâ€™s all thanks to you.
You brought those twins here, hung that bannerâ€"
Bang! We're in the black.
I know.
But I have a confession to make.
Those girlsâ€"
l didn't bring them here for us,
to save us.
I brought them here for myself.
so people would come and they would see me...
and lwould finally become a star.
It's what I've always wanted, nothing else.
Is it too late for me?
Is it wrong?
Not at all.
You listen here.
Youâ€˜ve got a gift,
You deserve the laurels and applause,..
and the shouts of "encore â€
Do you really think so?
I'd bet my hand...
you're gonna become a household name.
I know it.
Oh. Ethel, my darling,
Oh.
Oh. you are too good for me.
Go now, Get some rest.
[ Orchestra ]
[ Male, Female Chorus] Auf Wiedersehen
We'll meet again
Sweetheart
[ Woman ] This lovely day
Has flawn away
The time has come
To part
We'll kiss again
Like this again
Don't let the teardrops start
With love that's true
I'll wait for you
Auf Wiedersehen
Sweetheart
