"She was once a beautiful woman... a royal prince shot himself for love of her. She was known as the peacock of the air."

"She's the most beautiful big woman I have ever seen."

"I am Madame Tetrallini, these children are in my circus... So you see, Monsieur, when I get a chance I like to take them into the sunshine and let them play like children... that is what most of them are... children."

"There she goes, taking them out to exercise. Nurse to a lot of mangy freaks!"

"Have a cigar, Joseph."
"You dropped your lipstick, Josephine."
"Don't get her sore or he'll bust you in the nose."

"I think sh-he, sh-he likes you... but he don't."

"You're not so hard to look at. Give yourself a tumble, you'll make the grade. Your break is coming."

"Say, you're a pretty good kid."
"You're darn right I am. You should've caught me before my operation."

"Ah ph-hooey, you're always using that for an ex... for an excu....for an alibi."

"You've got to cut out getting drunk every night, too."
"Is that so?"

"We'll make her one of us! A loving cup! A loving cup! We accept her one of us. We accept her one of us. Gouble gobble, gouble gobble. We accept her, we accept her. Gouble gobble, gouble gobble. One of us, one of us..."

"They're going to make you one of them, my peacock!"

"You dirty, slimy freaks! Freaks! Freaks! Get out of here!"

"What are you, a man, or a baby?!"

"My people are decent circus folks. Not dirty rats what would kill a freak to get his money!"

"Tonight."
"They will be ready."

"How she got that way will never be known."
