Mike Ribble : You think they'll pay more to see her in spangles than they would to see a triple? Well, you're wrong!
Bouglione : I fill my circus in my way or I empty it in my way. In my circus there's room for *only* my way.
-
Tino Orsini : Mr. Bouglione, how'd you like my act?
Bouglione : What act?
Tino Orsini : Ribble and Orsini.
Bouglione : You come here, do two flips on the bar, make one pass, right away you got an act. Congratulations. Wonderful. One of you runs before he can walk, the other a cripple!
-
Mike Ribble : [to Lola] Let's you and I drink to Ribble and Orsini, the first pure act in years.
Bouglione : Let's hope the public like it. They never asked for purity before.
-
Bouglione : Things have changed. Why stick to a two act? The people want color, light, sparkle, something pleasing to the eye. A bit of feminine beauty like Lola here. Think it over, Mike, while I go congratulate your boy. I have great hopes for this act.
-
Bouglione : I give you my word, the act will be improved.
Mike Ribble : Improved? By a dame? I'm tryin' to give you a pure trapeze act...
Bouglione : I know all about your act, its purity, its perfection. I also know what the public wants.

Bouglione : Mike is too busy to speak. Your other, beautiful partner is with him. Leave him to her.
Tino Orsini : Lola's with him?
Bouglione : Sure she's with him. She can handle him. She can handle all of us.
