"As old...as old as time." "Yes!" "He's over a thousand years old." "He has power, to empower...your mind." "Let Doctor Parnassus open your imagination." "Let him transport you... to worlds you've never dreamt of..." " Oh God, check out the lights." "Check out that?" "Transcend the heights on Beauty's wing." "Or, if you must..." "scour the squalid depths with Putrid's brother, Stench!" "Join the queue!" "Only five quid a go!" "No bigger bargain on planet Earth!" "You choose... fulfillment..." "Sir, please." "You cannot be here." "No ticket, no prize sir." "You alright down there, buddy?" " You alright, Captain Planet?" "Get off the stage, you damn drunk!" "What are you doing, little man?" "What are you doing?" "Hey!" "Get off the stage!" "Mmm, there's a nice pair of tits!" " I said, get off the stage!" "No!" "I want you la" "Come here man..." "Come here man..." "Hey!" "C'mere!"

"Oh, oh no..." "Oooh!" "Me face!" "My face, my gorgeous face!" "Martin!" " Jesus!" "Wait.." "He went with that cow!" "I'll scratch her eyes out!" "Oi!" "You two!" "My boyfriend is in there!" "Anybody there?" "!" "Anybody there?" "Please!" "Is anybody there?" "Please!" "Please!" "No!" "Help me!" "Please!" "I'll never drink again, I promise..." "Honest!" "From now on I swear, not a drop!" "You have chosen well!" "The path to Parnassus is steep; the way is long." "But with perseverance, and fierce dedication the heights are attainable." "So with spirits high, and a spring in your step with a song in your heart, the clouds will part," "The heavens will open, and you will be unleashed, my son." "Hi there." "C'mon in." "Looks like you could use a drink." "Maybe just one." "Hey!" "Make mine a double." "The one I lost." "I lost again." "What the hell were you doing!" "?" " He was chasing me, what was I suppos" "You don't go through the mirror!" "Never!" "You know that!" "Oi!" "You!" "Gunga Din!" "Come here!" "What do you think you're playing at!" "?" " Playing?" "Oh, no, no, no..." "We don't play!" "What we do is deadly serious!" "Gone." "Will we miss him?" "I don't think so." "Don't worry if you don't understand it all immediately." "I want you freaks out of here!" "Now!" "Ah!" "I'm sorry." "I didn't mean to use that word... vertically deficient...defunct..." "vertically def-... vertically...challenged...vertically..." "Vertically challenged!" "Whatever you are, you get off of my beat... or I will do you!" "You included!" "Who threw that?" "!" "Who threw it!" "?" "You need-.." "Come here!" "Take a ticket!" "Wait your turn!" "Twenty quid a go, reduced to five for one night only!" "Ladies and gentlemen, this world that we live in, is full of enchantment, for those with eyes to see it..." "Chicken!" "I want to go there and there..." " Linda, you're not old enough, stop going on will ya?" "They won't let you, darling." " But I want to!" "I want to!" "LINDA!" " You never let me do anything!" "Excuse me!" "Excuse me!" " It's not fair!" "Do you mind...?" " Where's Diego?" "!" "Anton..." "Anton..." " This is your fault!" "He went back there." "He's just gone through." "Diego!" "Diego!" "Die!" "Die!" "Yes!" "Please exit the Imaginarium immediately!" "Choice is not available without parental consent." "Yeah!" "If one of you perverts got our boy," "I won't be answerable for my actions." "Diego!" " Diego!" " Diego!" "She's not looking for him..." " I don't care!" "Voila!" "Yeah!" " Oh it worked." "Diego, where have you been?" "I've been worried sick!" "One little devil out of the fire!" "Wipe that silly expression on your face, you little poop." "Come on, get up!" "Come on!" " The astounding world of Dr. Parnassus." "Thank you." "Anton!" " Yes, sir?" "You know the rules about the mirror?" " Yes." "Yes I do." "I'm sorry, sir." "I'm really sorry." "But he was..." "He was like a ten year old boy..." " I know, I know." "You did well, my boy." "You did well." "Good lad, good lad." "Thank you." "'Good lad, good lad.'" "You go through the mirror and he's all over you." "I do it once and he serves you my head on a plate." "C'mon now, Valentina..." "you're his daughter..." "I mean.." "And you're scrumptious..." "Scrumptious daughter...?" "Why did I say scrumptious?" "Beautiful, intelligence, sweet..." "Scrumptious?" "!" "Idiot!" "Hey Parny..." "It's been a while." "What did I say?" "We don't have all night." "Bloody kids again." "What's up, doc?" " Hey!" "Don't we lo-o-ve our children?" "She's ripe as a peach!" "Sweet little sixteen!" "And a-a-all mine!" "He's come to collect." "I thought so." "He's early." "What can I do?" "Nothing." " There must be something..." "How many days left?" " Three." "You know, you're gonna have to tell her soon." "When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore..." " Will you shut up about food?" "We're plum out...and I'm starving!" "Oh, Percy." "We've still got a couple of potatoes left." "Hey, look at this." "Look at this." " Hey!" "That's mine!" " Oh, look at that!" "That's private!" "Give it to me!" "Anton!" "Do you really think you'd be happy in a place like that?" "Would you?" "I wouldn't." "I couldn't do it, I don't think." "Well..." "Maybe if I was with you..." "You are always talkin' about escaping, aren't you?" "Always thinkin' about it, always dreamin' abbout it..." "Let's do it." "Why not, you and me?" "I can't run away." "We can't run away." "I can't." "I'm under age." " Oh, don't do that!" "I shall be twelve on Wednesday." " Don't be ridiculous." "Percy, how old will I be on Wednesday?" " Twelve." "Ha!" "See?" "Parnassus says so, too." "You're trying to say he's ridiculous?" " No." "Actually..." "I'm really going to be sixteen." "Sweet sixteen." "The age of consent..." "Is that you, Scrumpy?" " Who the hell else is it gonna be?" "Oi!" "You haven't eaten any of this!" " Yes, I know, I know..." "And that again?" "Oh, for God's sakes, dad." "Put 'em up!" "Come on!" "Always taking the easy way, huh?" "Not now, Scrumpy, not now..." "I have something very important that I have to tell you." "Oh..." "Why does everybody want to live forever?" "Immortality is a bloody curse." "So is pretending to be a twelve year old child, dammit!" "Look at me." "I mean, look at me." "Nobody's fooled!" "And I want this stupid thing off my ankle too, while we're at it." "You can't stop me growing up just by lying about my birthday!" " Shut up..." "It's ridiculous!" " Shut up and listen to me!" "I have to explain something to you before it's too late." "One, winter night..." " Is this going to take long?" "Yes, yes...quite possibly." "Many years ago..." "many centuries ago, in fact..." "When I was, believe or not, a young monk." "Someone visited me, in my sanctuary..." "Someone I had hoped never to meet." "Someone none of us should ever hope to meet..." "Having captured the wind, tamed the storm, ...kept the stars in their orbits, and the Earth turning on its axis..." "The Chief Steward, laying down to take his rest, had a most disturbing dream..." "He dreamt that a hooded rider was approaching across the snow-swept plain." "The Chief Steward woke..." "What exactly do you all do here?" "We tell the eternal story." "And, what is that exactly?" "The story that sustains the universe." "The story without which there is nothing." "Nothing?" "You mean, if you stop telling this story... and whole the universe ceases to exist?" "You make it sound so simple." "And you believe it?" "We are ordained for this task." "It's just incredible to me ...that you can believe something that could be so easily disproved." "Oh, I don't think so." "We'll see." "Choke!" "Stop!" "There." "The story's stopped." "No more story..." "But we're still here..." "The fire's still burning..." "It's still snowing." "The wind's still blowing." "Nothing is changed." "Oh, come on!" "cheer up, doc!" "I've freed you from all this ridiculous nonsense." "Now you can do other things with your powers." "You can, um..." "I dunno, you can go shopping..." "Have fun!" "You can learn a foreign language, or... go on cruise." "God..." "Dammit!" "A sign!" "A message!" "That bird was a messenger... from some distant place that we know nothing of!" "I see it all now..." "So clear." "This has nothing to do with us here." "Somewhere in this world, right now..." "Someone else is telling a story!" "A different story!" "A saga...a romance...a tale of unforeseen death..." "It doesn't matter!" "It's sustaining the universe." "That's why we're still here." "You can't stop stories being told!" "That's weak hypothesis!" " I don't think so." "So, you're probably not a betting man, are you?" "What?" "And that was my first wager with the devil..." "You see, the very first of us to attract twelve disciples, would win the bet." "His argument:" "The necessities of danger, fear, of the fabled bliss of ignorance." "Mine:" "The power of the imagination to transform and illuminate our lives..." "It was a hard fight, but..." "I won." "My prize?" "The one thing I coveted most..." "Ever-lasting life." "Everlasting torment..." "He had tricked me." "He'd let me win." "He knew that times would change..." "And that one day, no one would want my stories..." "This was the price of my arrogance..." "Forgotten." "Lost." "Alone." "Desperate." "They've stopped." " Go on, with your story." "No." "Another time." "Something's happened." "You'd better go and see." "Why do you always do this?" "!" "You always stop in the middle of your stories!" "Go and see." "Valentina, come here!" "Valentina, come here..." "I saw..." "I just saw someone..." "Someone dancing on the water." "I swear!" "I swear!" "When the lightning flashed..." "There was a shadow... thrown over those pillars over there." "Someone..." "You see that?" "!" "You see the dancer?" " Yeah, he's riverdancing." "Yes, he was riverdancing!" "You see that?" "That's someone hanging!" "He must be under this bridge!" "Hanging?" " Get a rope!" "If he's hanging by his neck, he's already got a rope." "Get a rope!" " Alright!" "We're good!" "Okay, alright, alright...!" "Okay!" "Okay, lower, lower..." "Stop!" "Stop stop stop!" "Hold on, we'll swing you!" "Here, swing you in!" "Alright." "Try again." "Are you alright?" "Okay, I've got you now..." "Okay, put your arms around me." "Put your arms around me!" "Oh, Jesus!" "Brilliant!" "Okay." "Pull them up!" "Are you okay?" "Why are you fishing dead people out of the river?" "Leave him be, for the love of God!" "He's dead!" "Let's get hell out of here, before the fuzz turns up." "Anton!" "Come help me." "Help her!" "No, no, no..." "It's not gonna work." "It's not gonna work." "Watch out." "Watch out." "You don't know where he's been anyway." "Ready?" "All clear?" "He's alive!" " Well, he was." "What on Earth is that?" "Put him in the trunk." " I don't think..." "I don't..." "What?" "The boss said leave him." " He thought he was dead." "Come on." "No, no no no." "I don't like this." "It's none of our business." "What are you suggesting, we leave him on the side of the road?" "Definitely." "Let's go." "Come on." "Careful." "Hey, you!" "I suppose somebody saves your life every day of the week." " What?" "Is it too much of a bother for a mere "thank you?"" "Uh...who are you?" "Percyval St. Antoine della Touraine et Sansepolcro da Piemonte, the Third." "If that seems too difficult, you can call me Percy." "Where the hell are we?" "Geographically speaking, in the Northern Hemisphere." "Socially, on the margins and, narratively, with some way to go." "And your name is...?" "Uhh..." "I can't remember." " Well that's friggin' handy." "Any credit cards?" " Ah!" "Are you trying to rob me?" "What are you doing?" " ...with your name on them." "Oh, right." "Uh..." "Where's my wallet, where's my phone?" "What have you done with it?" "Don't look at us!" "Who are you?" " He doesn't remember." "Listen..." "Whoever you people are..." "Whatever it is you get up to..." "I'm, uh..." "Cool with it." "I won't tell anyone about it, and um..." "I need to go now, alright?" "Probably for you." "There you are!" "What're you doing?" "!" "What're you doing?" "Pity..." "I speak Russian." "Hello." "Are you alright?" "Yeah." "Yeah, it's just I feel really..." "I think I need a place to just kind of gather my thoughts for a little bit..." "Sorry, mate." "Excuse me, mate." "Thank you for that." "But you can't stay." "Alright?" " Why not?" "!" "What do you mean "why not?" Look at him!" "Look at him!" "...We don't know who he is..." "Excuse me!" "Excuse me..." "We don't know what he's done..." "Listen, I haven't done anything, mate." "Alright?" " Alright, yeah." "I mean, listen." "I understand where you're coming from." "But understand where I'm coming from..." "You know?" "I don't know my name!" "I don't know how I got here." "I don't know who you are..." "I don't know who she is, and I certainly don't know what that is...!" "The last thing I remember is being whacked in the back of the head, waking up in that box in the in the back of this..." "Whatever the hell this thing is..." "And I just..." "I just..." "Oh...my head." "What the hell is going on here?" "I told you to leave him." "He was dead." "Well, he isn't and we didn't." "We found him hanging under the bridge, sir." "Hanging?" " Yeah." " By his neck til dead..." "If we had any sense." "We found these in his pockets." "Two of these." "The hanged man!" "Scrumpy." "Get out my way." "The signs are all clear." "And those marks..." "I recognize them." "What marks?" " You've been sent by Mr. Nick, haven't you?" "Mr. Nick?" " I knew it!" "You know his name." "No..." "He's got a proposition for me, hasn't he?" "A new wager perhaps?" "Another twist in the game?" "He can't help himself, can he?" "Thank God!" "Thank God for that!" "Dad says you should work..." "Help focus your mind." "I dunno, might bring your memory back." "Ah." "Here we are." "Try this." "Thanks." "You can help out front." "Sell tickets or..." "Something like that." "What do you think?" " Mhm." "O-kay." "So, no name." "And now a new face..." "The mystery thickens." " Get your grubby little hands off me." "Oi!" "That's not necessary!" "Valentina, we have a problem..." " So strange." "It's a complete blank." "You know?" " I can Dress myself!" "Let me go, I said, God damn Percy!" "Let me go!" "Hey!" "Hey, come on." "Doctor..." "Oh, God, he's got to be sick again..." "Is your memory less impaired?" "Is it all coming back to you now?" "Ah, you're bloody useless!" "He's a flaming disaster!" " Well, you can't go on." "You're drunk." "I am not drunk!" "I'm grumpy!" "...Scrumpy!" "L-L-L-ladies and gentlemen, raise your sights for one night only..." "Encounter...encounter..." " Percy, where's George gone?" "...the majesty, the beauty, the miracle that's in each," "Anton!" "...and every one..." " Anton, Where's George?" "W-W-Who's George?" " I thought we should give him a name." "Oh, that's cute..." "George." "Saint George, in fact." "Well hello there, darling." "Oh, that's a lovely scarf, isn't it?" "Matches those lovely eyes of yours!" "Look at you!" "Oh, actually, I'm here to sell a show." "Oh!" "Thank God for that." "Not a single customer." "I'm closing up." " Yeah, let's do that." "He's never not done a show before..." "I don't know what's wrong with him!" "Alright." " N-n-no." "What're you doing?" "I'm doing my job now, mate." "Now come on." "Do yours." "No no no!" "Wait!" " Do yours!" "Go juggle..." "You, uh..." "You're doing your thing..." "You look beautiful..." "Good evening!" " Alright." "Okay." "Ladies and...well, ladies!" "I am very proud to present to you the one, the only, the extraordinary..." "Doctor Parnassus!" "Dad?" "This man is drunk." "Dead drunk." " Ah, that's disgraceful." "He's not drunk!" " No, he's not." "He's a Got a bad cold." "...got a bad cold." "And you know what?" "Despite that, he still went on, for his audience, for you..." "You know?" "At considerable risk for his health..." "And I think that is worthy of a round of applause, ladies and gentlemen." "Dr. Parnassus." "What a man." "We want our money back." " Every penny." "Would you..." "Alright, listen, you can have your money back, alright?" "I understand." "But I, um..." "Listen... to you tell the truth." "The Doctor's daughter, right?" "She looks pretty, but she ain't." "She's pretty sick, see?" "She's.. needs surgery." "So we're trying to scrounge all we can get, you know?" "Otherwise, she's gonna..." "That's what all this is about." "Is to try and get money for her." "Do you understand?" "I mean..." "Well, how about this:" "We'll give you a free ticket." "No, wait." "We'll give you two free tickets if you buy another one at half price." "This offer is only available today." "What?" " No, nothing." "'This offer is only available today.'" "He took all that?" " Yeah." "Have you ever seen so much?" "Yeah, That is what lying through your teeth can get you, eh?" "C'mon, Anton..." "How was he to know that we're not gonna be here tomorrow?" "Hey, maybe my birthday won't be so bad." "Yeah, maybe it won't actually." "Maybe with George here, maybe you can get out of this dump." "Go find your ideal home..." "Anton..." "Oi, George!" "Wrong end of the horse, mate!" "What was that?" "You know, You shouldn't drink." "It just flat out doesn't agree with you." "Oh, you are so right." "You?" "Oh, shit." "What do you want with me this time?" "I'll do anything." "I know you will." " By the way, your man lost his memory." "He's bloody useless!" " He's not my man." " What?" "No." "He's a little toe-rag named Tony Shepherd." "Just tidying up." "He runs a big charity." "I don't trust him." "But then again, you don't trust me either do you?" "Oh, just tell me what you want." "I just thought that last night, when you were so upset, that you could maybe use a little glimmer of hope..." "Maybe you can use a little bet?" "No, it's over." "Finito." "Oh, come on...it's never over." "C'mon, what you got to lose?" "Look, you could end by winning." "You could save her..." "What do you say..." "First to five souls?" "First to five?" "No tricks?" "No cheating?" " No." "No cheating." "I say 'Yes,' deal." " God, I love a betting man." "Okay." "By her birthday then." " That's in two days, you bastard!" "Do you have any idea what rotten business we're doing?" "Things are going to pick up." "As sure as eggs is eggs." "...Yeah..." "Okay." "The first one to five souls wins." "I'll kill you!" "You son of a bitch!" "Now that I'd like to see!" "Wait!" "Morning, Val." " Hi, George." "Scrumpy?" "Scrumpy." "Food!" "Food!" "We got food!" "We got bread!" "We got cheese!" "We got vegetables!" "And we got this thing..." "Whatever this thing is..." "It's all your fault we're eating so well today." "Do you know how to pluck?" "Is that-is that" " Bertie?" "George thought doves would have been better." "Pluck it." "Pluck it?" "But how?" "Yeah, that was my..." "That was my best trick, so..." "Five souls in two days, huh?" " Put a sock in it." "I'm trying to think." "He's been sent to us for a reason." "I know it." "The cards don't lie." " No?" "Pardonnez-moi monsieur St. George..." "Oh, I worry about you, not knowing who you are..." "It must be extremely difficult to understand." " Yeah." "Really it is, it is..." "It's confusing." " I may be able to help." " Really?" "Yes." "You see this contraption here?" "If you'll do the honors Percy." "Now, if you don't mind placing it on your head." "That's it." "Now, you see these wires?" "Just...hold on to that." "Now, I just want you to relax." "And just think of nothing." "Alright, well that's gonna be hard, considering my..." "Shut it!" "I beg your pardon?" " Your mouth!" "Don't breathe!" "Hold your breath!" " Seriously?" "Just let the energy flow." "Let the...wax and wane." "Think of the earth, the ocean,..." "Very good, very good." "I need a name..." "I need a name..." "Yes, I have a name." "It's..." "Shepherd." "Anthony Shepherd." "They call you Tony." "That was exhausting." "You used to...do good works I understand." "Something about a charity..." "I think?" "Yes...um.." "Tony Shepherd..." "It rings a bell, for sure." "Wow!" "This..." "You..." "This, this..." "It really works." "You, um..." "Was there anything else you discovered when you were doing your..." "Well, you must understand, it is an ancient technique." "Right..." " I'm extremely rusty, I'm afraid." "No." "There was absolutely nothing else." "That's fascinating, stuff." "It really is, I must say." "Can I take this off now?" "Is that alright?" " Yeah." "Thank you very much, sir." " No, not at all." "Bless you!" "I have a name!" " Charity work?" "Cool." " So what was he doing dangling by his neck under the bridge?" "Percy!" " Oh, was that rude?" "Have I put my foot in it?" "No, no, it's a..." "It's so strange." "It's horrible." "Everything is just complete blank." "But, as the good doctor said, I was involved in some sort of charity..." "I do remember that." "Here you go." "Plucked." "What a fool I must have been, that think I could have changed the world, that I could have made a difference..." "You know?" "Giving people hope...eh?" "What an arrogant idiot..." "I must have" " Hey!" "What's that?" "Hey, mate, can I have a look at that?" "What is that you've got?" "Oh it's Beethoven's Ode to Joy." " No, not the song." "The pipe." "Oh..." " I think it belongs to me." "Really?" " Yeah." " How do you know that?" "You remembered?" "You just remembered, you're a musician." " Well, yeah." "It's a day of remembering, now can I have it please back?" "Are you sure this is yours?" " Positive, mate." "How can you be sure?" " I just know, these things." "Now, can I have that back please?" " Yes, alright, here you go..." "I don't know where it's gone." " Can I have my pipe back now, please." "It means a lot to me." " Yeah, I understand." " It's a very special pipe." "Okay, sorry." "Got it." "Got it." "Sorry, there you go." "Take it." "Sorry." "Listen, this isn't funny, mate." "That pipe means a lot to me." "Alright?" " It's a little bit funny." "No, it's not a little bit funny." " Alright..." "Alright!" "Alright, let me just look around." "What is it doing in the tea pot?" "That's what I wanna know." "What is it doing in the tea pot?" " I don't know." "Now, thank you very much." "Okay." "Alright." "Sorry." "I'm just mucking' about." "There you go..." "Right!" "Alright!" "Now you go fetch that thing!" "I'm not kidding." "Okay..." "I'm gonna get it." "Right now!" " Alright." "Sure." "Just chill out." "Just chill out." "There." "Anton, enough." " I'm sorry, I'm just trying to... play around, trying to bond." " Thanks, darlin'." "Just trying to...bond." "Okay." "It was fun!" " Yeah, funny, funny..." "I'm worried about Anton..." "What's eating him?" "He's in love with Valentina." " In love?" "Who gave him permission?" "It happens." " The little snake!" "I take him from the streets, and that's the thanks I get, I'll" " I'll" " I'll" "I'll skin him alive!" " While you're at it, there's the other one." " The other one?" " The rattle snake." "The forgetful cobra." " Oh, Tony?" "Tony's another kettle of fish." " Is he?" "He's ambitious, energetic..." "A man of destiny." "And he'll help us win?" " I think he just might." "Scrumpy sees good in him." " She's better off with Anton." "Perhaps I should just offer her hand to whoever helps us win the next five souls." "That's an even worse idea than all the other bad ones you've had today." "You're not wrong." "You're not wrong." "Neither of them is worthy of her." "You're never wrong, are you?" "Ah, Percy..." "What would I do without you?" "Get a midget." " What?" " Y'know, short fellow." "A little taller than I am..." "Short legs, short feet, big head..." "Runs kinda funny..." " Yes, I know..." "Doctor Parnassus, as old as the universe itself, vast..." "Hello." "How are you doing tonight?" "Is he okay?" "What are you doing?" "Sniffing about like that?" "!" " Sleep no more!" "We must concentrate tonight." "Everything depends on it." "Let the great mind of this Doctor... transport you...to the world... of your imagination." "You, my dear, I see having a very-..." "Procrastinator..." "No, no...a singer." "I bet you have the voice..." "Hi, there!" " of an angel, don't you now?" "Come on trust me, you're gonna love this experience." "Hey, what are you doing?" "Taking you to the heart of your imagination!" " Oh, my God!" "No way." " Trust me young lady, you will not regret this." "Go for it Sal!" " Only if she comes with me." "Now you're talking!" " No, Sorry, I can't do two at the same time!" "Are you crazy?" "Go for it." " I'm not going on my own." "We'll do it together!" " Good idea!" " Are you crazy?" "Two imaginations in there, at same time?" "No, no, ladies..." "One a time is fine." "When are two, the stronger imagination will overcome the weaker and then we have no idea what might happen." "That's really stupid." " Yea, really stupid." "Follow me." "Enjoy yourselves." " Let go!" "Put me down!" "I don't want to do it alone!" " She doesn't do it alone!" "Your friend is about to have a life-changing experience." "Why don't you put me down?" " It's alright." " No, please!" "Dont!" "We got a customer." "Father..." "Father..." "SAL!" " HELP!" "SOMEBODY HELP ME!" "Help!" "Don't shoot the messenger!" "Hi, there." "Shit!" "What were you thinking?" "Look what you've done." "Jesus!" "Leave us alone." " I'm trying to help you!" "Get out of here!" "Leave!" "First to five..." "First to five..." "That's one down; first to five." "Giddyup!" "We gotta keep moving!" " I know, I've got it, it's alright." "Look!" "All the homeless folks." "They're gonna get our food!" " Alright let's do this." "Jesus Christ!" " What are you doing?" "I'm hel-, I'm helping!" " You made a mess!" "What?" " Get out of here, come on!" "You're not helping!" "Get up!" " Alright..." "I'm gone." "Why don't you just claim it all on insurance?" " Bugger off!" "Alright, I was just asking." "That was quite and intresting crowd tonight, wasn't it?" "Just leave me alone, mate." "Hey, uh..." "Val is little worried about you, mate." "She wanted me to come have a little chat with you about" "What happened today, with, uh..." "With the young lady behind the mirror?" "Um..." "What're you suggesing, mate?" "Anton, you can tell me, mate." "We all heard her screamin'." "I was screaming as well." "It was terrifying." " It was terrifying?" "I don't understand." "No, you wouldn't, would you?" "You haven't been inside the Doctor's mind, have you?" "No, I haven't." " Oh, Yeah, you..." "You, my friend, you probably think it's some kind of scam, don't you?" " Well, ain't it?" "No, it's not." "I wouldn't expect you to understand." "Not in a million years." "Right, so, if Doctor Parnassus can really control people's minds, why isn't he ruling the world then, eh?" "Why bother with this little, uh..." "side show... act?" "'Side show?" "' He d-don't want to rule the world." "He wants the world to rule itself!" "Yeah?" "What about the mirror?" "What's that about, eh?" "A bit of hocus-pocus?" " Tony, you don't get it, man." "It is..." "It's impossible to describe." "It's... this mystery!" "It's everything!" "It's you, it's me, it's us..." "He holds the universe..." " By the way..." " Behind the mirror." "Do the words 'first to five' mean anything to you?" "I thought you were supposed to be the clever one." "It's utterly hopeless..." "It is over..." "Don't say that..." "It's never over." "You're supposed to be immortal, remember?" "Honestly, it's gonna be okay, dad." "How can you understand?" "You are a child." "You've never loved." "Not like I have..." "From the moment I looked up, and saw her," "I was capivated." "A prisoner for life." "But I was a thousand years old." "How could I woo her?" "How could I ever make her mine?" "Percy, let go!" "Let go!" "You don't understand!" "Don't be a fool!" "You can't die!" "You're immortal!" "You'll just end up broken, in an eternity ward, and I'll end up..." "Looking after you." " Let go, you little shit!" "No!" "At times like these, the devil is never far away." "Why so glum, Parny?" "Accentuate the positive." "He granted me mortality again..." "And youth and new powers." "Greater powers." "And I won her." "I was so in love..." "So in love..." "But at what price...?" "What price...?" "Wassup, doc?" "At what price...?" "Thank God it's only cuts and bruises." "I thought we'd lost you." "Sweetheart!" "What a sweet thing to say!" "Oh, look at you." "Hey listen, I've been meaning to ask you about your father and he seems to be in terrible state, you know?" "Now, is it financial thing?" "Is it money?" "I don't know..." " Cause if it is, you know I can help in that area." "I don't know." " You don't know or is it the show, perhaps?" "I don't care about the show anymore." "What about the police?" " Bring on the police." "I'm sick of living like this..." "Oh, really..." "Oh ho ho.." "Aren't you a little toughy." "Eh?" "Now listen." "You shouldn't be talking this way." "Alright?" "It's very important what you're doing." "It's family stuff." "Maybe it's just...things ought to be done a little differently around you." "What different sort of way do you suggest?" "Morning." "How are you doing?" "How was your sleep last night?" "I saw you had a nasty bump on your head" " Different?" "What do you mean?" "Well, I've been thinking sir, that, um..." "You know, it's quite obvious that, people... not many people, are attracted to the show." " Oh, thank you so much." "Forgive me but..." "I-I-I have couple solutions to the problem." "One, I was thinking of changing the style of the show." "And two, I would a..." "Change the audience, perhaps." "Change?" " Yeah." "In my opinion, I'd change both." "You know, that's just me..." " Change a show?" "Who the frigging hell do you think you are?" "Don't be so afraid of change, mate." "The fact of the matter is, this show, the stage - it's just not..." "I-I-I don't know the word is, it's..." " Modern?" "Modern?" "Yes." "You see, people want modern." "They want, you know, like..." "Like this." "This is contemporary." "This is what people want." "I know this world." "Trust me." "Alright?" "Now, with you and your mind control, thing-a-majigamy..." "You know, we need to meet the public halfway." "The right public, in the right part of town." " What about the filth?" "What?" " The filth." " He means the Police." "Oh, well, there'll be a better class of filth, too." "That'll be the day." " Yeah, listen." "T-T-The secret is not to hide." "Be bold." "Be colorful." "Or, actually, be less colorful, perhaps." "And go to the places that people would never expect to be at." "You know?" "Think." "So, you saved my life." "Now let me do something in return, for you." "Please." "...Would you hold onto this a second?" "Scrumpy." "Y-y-you believe in coincidence?" " No." "There's no such thing..." "Isn't that what you always told me?" "Everything has a reason." " Yes, that's what I believe." "And the cards?" "Do you believe in them?" "What the hell are you on about, dad?" "Is this some kind of test?" "Scrumpy, please!" "This is an extremely important day." "Do we gamble on Tony?" "I want your opinion..." "I need your advice." "I don't believe it." "You want my opinion?" "That's the best birthday present ever!" "Yes!" "Gamble!" "Let's do it!" " Yes!" "Let's do it!" "Oh, I love you dad." "...And the devil take the hindmost!" "Well, lovely." " Yeah." "How sweet." "So, what do we do now?" "Well, let's see..." "First off, how much money do we have to play with?" "Cause, we gonna need all of it." "Anton!" "What are you doing?" "Didn't you do enough damage last night?" "Anton!" "I'm the one who wants to run away!" "Please, don't spoil my birthday." "We need you." "I need you." "How much money have you got?" "No!" "My dear, did you not read our sign?" "We are here to give, not take, my darling." "But nevertheless, I can see from your beautiful eyes, that you are a very, very generous lady, and I applaud you for that..." "Excuse me but, how does this work?" "What does it cost?" "Cost?" "No." "The Imaginarium does not cost a thing!" "We're not here for money." "How long does it take?" " Well, that depends, my dear." "I'm running late." " Oh, late, late, for very important date." "Gosh, I can't tell you how many times I've heard that in my life." "Listen, can I ask you a question?" "Do you dream?" "Or should I say..." "Can you put a price on your dreams?" "Or the dreams of the less fortunate in this world?" "Is there a price to them?" "Or are you all in despair at your inability to change what is wrong in this world?" "You see, I had a dream." "But I too, walked away from it." "I ignored it, I had no time for it." "Does it sound familiar to you?" "Yes?" "I know, my dear." "But, you see, ladies and gentlemen, I was saved..." "By a miracle." "By Doctor Parnassus!" "He gave me my life back again." "He's given me reason to dream." "He took me into the waterfall of happiness!" "And I was reborn." "Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I can tell you now..." "I have been..." "No!" "I AM purified." "Ladies, ladies!" "We are actually solidly booked right now." "Listen, but we are taking reservations." "Is that child up for adoption?" " Yes." "I want to adopt that unfortunate black child." "It shouldn't be working like this." "It should be in school." "Who's in charge here?" "You are my lady." " Get down." "Don't you touch me." " Don't be frightened, my dear." "Everything's okay, officers." "Madame, tonight is your night." "Do you want to be purified?" "This is your time." "Now, please, out of the way." "Howcome she gets to be purified?" " Why?" "!" "She has been chosen, my dear." "Alright, trance, Doctor." " I haven't paid a thing." "You know, you can make a donation on the way out if you feel the need to." "Some people do." "Most people do." "...And he is in his trance..." "Believe me my dear, you are the luckiest lady alive." "Now, good luck!" "This is exciting." "This is fun." "There are so many temptations!" "Maybe just a peek?" "No!" "Wait!" "Tony!" "Oh, how gorgeous!" "Golly!" "I say!" "Gorgeous." "Ah..." "It's me!" "Thank you..." "Who are you, dear?" "I've always known that you would look just like this." "And I don't even know your name." " It's Roger." "No, it's not." "It's Barry." " Barry?" " Yes." "How dashing." " Go ahead." "Oh, goodness me!" "Just a minute now, luv." "No, no, just a minute...now." "If I'm not mistaken, I believe you're meant to go alone." "Why would I want to go there without you my darling?" "Well..." "It's one of the rules." "One imagination at the time, free from the influence of another." "Boring." "Don't shoot the messenger, babe." "Oh, look!" "Come!" "Another possibility..." "Come, come." "You must make a choice." "And to be quite honest, I would strongly recommend this one." "The gondola." "But..." "Rudolph Valentino," "James Dean, Princess Di..." "All those people..." "They're all dead." "Yes, but..." "Immortal, nevertheless." "They won't get old or fat." "They won't get sick or feeble." "They are beyond fear..." "Because, they are forever young." "They are gods." "And you can join them." "You're such a wonderful speaker." "I know." "Get in the boat." "Actually, there's one more thing." "Look at me." "This is very, very...important." "Your sacrifice, must be absolutely pure." "Therefore, you will need to relinquish all of your worldly possessions." " You mean this?" "Yes, indeed." "And this." "Now, this one." "Got it!" "You're free!" " Thank you." "Bye, bye!" "Bye!" " Ta-ta!" "Prepare to be reborn, darling." "And remember..." "Nothing's permanent..." "Not even death." "Shit!" "Oh, um..." "Have you" " What if- ...oh.." "What the hell just happened to me?" "I mean, I..." "How on Earth do you do that?" " Oh, it's nothing." "Voila!" " Voila?" "Oh that was..." "So beautiful!" "Thank you, madam." "You have given me the strength to continue." "What name?" "I'll leave it blank." "Thank you." "Madam..." "Take me!" "Voila!" "Fabulous!" "One more to go and we're free." "What are you watching that crap for." " It's him!" "What are you talking about?" "Speak!" "Who are you talking about?" "Impossible." " He's alive." "Let's go." " Get him!" "Anton!" "Anton!" "Where are we?" "Where did he go?" "Boss, you speak english!" "Hey, me too!" "Hi!" "Hello!" "Today is special!" "Reach for the clouds!" "Discover your true potential!" "You too can become rich, famous, celebrated." "Using no organic produce or nut free foods, discover the power within you." "Market research has shown that..." " There he is!" "Where?" "Where?" "Relax..." "Smell the flower." "REACH FOR THE CLOUDS" "COME ON, ACHIEVE YOUR POTENTIAL" "IT CAN BE YOU." "IT WILL BE YOU." "IT IS YOU!" "IT WILL BE YOU." "IT IS YOU!" "Damn!" "YOU IDIOTS!" "Come on!" "C'mon, get up!" "You idiots!" "I want him dead!" "Kill him!" "Stop!" "Give me a chance!" "That's not him." "I told you that's not him." "It's not?" "It has to be." "The boss is always right!" "He's right...it's not me!" "It has to be." "Look!" "You think you fool us?" "No way, Jose." "No wait!" "Listen to me." "You stole my money." "I will make you die again." "This time..." "Forever." "Hey, hey!" "Excuse me!" "Would you mind putting him down!" "?" "What do you think you're playing at?" "What, you're in your bedroom now?" "You're playin' with yer' soldiers?" "With yer' toys?" "No, this is human being!" "Now, he's comin' with me." "Or maybe we can settle this with some fisticuffs?" "Alright, who's first?" "you're up." "Alright." "Bring it on, man!" "Bring it on, let's do this!" "Let's do..." "Okay..." "You first!" "You first!" "You first!" "Relax." "Smell the flower." "Smell..." "Ok." "Oh my God..." "Hey boys!" "Channel that violence for the good!" "Go on, join up!" "Come on, lads!" "Join us today!" "Mama!" " Mama!" "Mama!" "Wait!" "Wrong way!" "Wrong choice!" "Come back!" "Come back!" "Hey, Parny!" "I'm goin' to Chicago, baby!" "I'm drivin' a stick!" "Anton!" "Anton!" "Wakey, wakey." "Wakey, wakey." "Anton, I need your help." "Wakey, wakey, you've gotta help me." " I'm awake." "Did you see me...?" " Yeah." "You were great." " I climbed the ladder." "It was unbelieveable!" "I mean, I nearly touched the clouds." "I felt incredible!" "I mean, my true self." " Who are you?" "It's Tony." "Tony." "Tony." " No it's not Tony." "You're not Tony." "No, It's not Tony." " Use your imagination." "Use your imagination..." "Listen..." "Look, I need your help." "You know Parnassus's mind..." "How do I get back to those ladders?" "I mean, is there a route?" "is there a map?" "So you're Tony, right?" "If you're Tony..." "What's the name of my chicken?" "What?" "Plucked!" "God!" "You've no idea what it's like to feel..." "I mean, like a god!" "My lungs were full of air..." "I was" "Who were they?" "!" "Who were those peop" "The big Russian men with the fists in my face?" "That's not important." " It is important!" "You stole their money." "No, I didn't." " You stole their money!" "That's what they said!" "That's what I heard them say with my own ears!" "Oh, please." "You're gonna believe them before you believe me?" "Well yeah, I might actually." "And what are these then?" "Explain to me this." "These marks on your forehead!" "I don't know, something satanic..." "Devil..." "Listen, those were irredeemably bad men." "Okay?" "And I'm essentially good..." "Sorry." "Tony is trying to be what..." "Prim, is he?" "Self righteous, yes." " Self righteous?" " Yes" "Well, you want me to be honest?" " Oh yeah." " You want the truth?" "I would love the truth." " Really?" "You think you can muster it up?" "Do you think you can get it out of that carcass of yours?" "Just for once, just for me, eh?" "When I set up my charity, Anton..." "Charity for kids." "I needed money." "And I accepted a loan from those men." "I had no id- I didn't know." "They laundered their dirty money through the charity." "I know I was stupid!" "I made a mistake." "And the kids..." "weren't to blame" "They were the innocents." "I-I carry that every day." "Every day of my life." "Alright." "You wanted the truth." " Sorry." "You okay?" "Thank you - for that." "Where are the ladders?" "Will you show me?" "The clouds!" "Nah." "Anton?" "Hey!" "Buddy!" "Don't leave..." "Don't leave me here." "Anton!" "Don't lea- don't leave me!" "Come on, I almost died today!" "Don't leave me." "Hey, come on." "I just..." "I needed the money." "When you run a charity..." "You've got to give lots of money away!" "The red tape, the bureaucracy!" "You have no idea!" "..." "How many more times does he have to say he's sorry?" "Percy, this is ridiculous." "Bring him down." " Listen, Valentina, look at me." "Why can't you see, that that he has betrayed us and he has fooled us all?" "It's so obvious!" "Just jealous." " Jel..." "I'm not jealous!" "I'm not jealous." "Percy, open the hatch." "Why would he want to come down?" "He knows we don't like him." "Come on you guys, look at this stuff!" "Have you forgotten what it was like before he came?" "No, no!" "I haven't forgotten, Valentina." "He was so pure." "Will you please, unzip me?" "And the women?" "You saw their faces when they came out." "I saw his faces." "I saw both of his faces." "He has two--at least two!" "If not more!" " It's my birthday!" "Percy!" "We're supposed to be celebrating..." "At least Tony remembered." "Would you, please, just listen to me for one second?" "No, leave it." "Let him in..." "It's Tony?" " No..." "I think not." "Sit down." "Can somebody please, answer the door?" "I can't stand not answering the door." "...Or the telephone drives me crazy!" "It's not my nature." "I won't be able to sleep." "With the knock-knock-knocking it's gonna be in my head all night!" "It's just things like that." "Well, you've won." "It's over." "Four rotten Russkies?" " And the girl, from the pub?" "Nah..." "Sal?" "She don't count." "Do you, Sal?" "That's how you take your pleasure, is it?" "Toying with me?" "Like a cat with a mouse?" "C'mon.." "Sal didn't get to make a real choice." "You were out for the count, or it wouldn't be fair..." "You got four." "So, you know." "You got your friend Tony." "C'mon..." "We're even...it's not quite over." "Not quite." "Oh, oh, look at the time..." "It's almost 11." "Dad?" "What?" ".." "Oh." "We're going to have to give another performance." "Now!" "Quickly!" "Get..." "Get ready to move out!" "Who was that?" " Oh, just somebody asking the way." "I overheard you, he wasn't asking the way!" " Tony?" "Tony?" "Percy?" " What's going on?" "Not now Scrumpy!" "Not now!" "Where's Tony?" " What are you hiding?" "Something to that bloody rambling story you started telling?" "The one that you never finished..." "What are you hiding?" "!" "I want to know the truth." "The truth?" "I am thousands of years old," "I have been immortal and..." "I did make a bargain with the devil." "For that woman, in the story?" " Yes." "Your mother..." "I regained my youth..." "And I won her..." "We lived in joy." "We grew old together..." "And then one day, she came and told me that she was pregnant." "Imagine!" "Sixty years old and pregnant." "It was a miracle!" "And she died giving birth." "Me?" " Yes." "Miracle or a mistake?" " You're the best mistake I ever made." "And the bargain..." "With the devil?" "There are two parts to a bargain?" " He granted me mortality on condition, that any child I would father, would, at the age of sixteen, would belong to him." "No...!" "You're just telling a story..." "A cruel story!" "Why should I believe it?" " Because it's true." "Every word of it's true." "But, there's a new wager All is not lost..." "We can win!" "We can win!" "You'll be mine again...!" " Enough!" "Enough!" "Stop!" "Listen to me, Scrumpy!" "Listen to me!" " Listen to youself!" "Who are you?" "I don't know anymore!" "All my life you've filled my head with dreams!" "Your dreams!" "And you're making deals with the devil!" "And what am I?" "A pathetic bet!" "?" "Another mistake!" "Val!" " Oh, she's gone." "She's gone." " Telling the truth...." "Always a bad idea." "Hold your tongue, you smug little pustule!" "Get out of my sight!" "And stay out!" "Perhaps you'll find a midget..." "If you're lucky." "Valentina!" "Valentina!" "Valentina!" "Valentina!" "What are you doing?" " Trying to save your daughter's life, sir." "Save?" "What..." "How?" "Well, I figured I could be the fifth soul." "See, I can take that risk, sir." "You're good lad, Tony, but it's no use." "We still have time, don't we?" " Yes, of course, there's still time, but" "You know I'd never ask for anything in return." "It's just not my nature." "You're a saint, my boy!" "You're a saint!" "But it's positively useless." " Actually, there is one thing..." "How about...an initiation into the secrets of your trance." "I can't do that, no." " Why not?" "It won't work..." " I think I could do it." "You'd be a great teacher, sir." " My head, my brain..." "Too upset!" "Oh, it's not a time to be upset, sir!" "It's time to be happy!" "Think of uh, Valentina!" "We need you to be in a trance for this to work." "Can you give me that?" "Come on, now, close your eyes." "Come on." "Close your eyes." "Think of the ocean." "The ocean going in and out..." "In, and... out." "Yes!" "In and..." "Out..." "In..." "Out and in, and out..." "Shit!" "We don't have time for this!" "Now pull yourself together!" "This is not the time to be playing baby!" "It's no good!" " What isn't..." "Listen to me!" " It's no good!" "Concentrate..." "Dammit, Tony, just" "Oh, I need to calm down..." "You need to calm down." "We just need to relax." "And try and um..." "Think of...chocolate." "Melting away on the hot stove..." "Just melting, melting..." "Good, good, good..." "Alright, stay with me, sir!" "Stay with me!" "Oi, what's wrong with you?" " You're a big... jerk!" "Oi, now what is your problem?" "!" "Lies!" "All lies!" " Alright, calm down." "What is wrong?" "Talk to me." " He was lying." " Who was lying?" "He always said it was like precious." "It's not!" "What?" "The Imaginarium?" " Yes!" "What are you talking about?" " I can't run away." "Can't run away from what?" "You wanna run away from this?" "If you want to get away, I can take you to a beautiful place." "Alright?" "I can take you somewhere." "I can get you out of this darkness," "I will take you to the light, alright?" "I'll take you somewhere beautiful." "Just you and me." "Now, trust me." "Come with me now." "We don't have time for this." "Alright?" "Now, it's gonna be a paradise!" "Alright?" "It's my world!" "It could be our world!" "Trust me!" "It will be perfect!" "Aww, now..." "Now see?" "Yeah, that's bad." "I was doing some light reading, and I found..." "I stumbled across this..." "You might be interested in this, Valentina." "We don't have time for this nonsense, mate!" "We've got to get inside..." "He's a liar!" "He's nothing but a liar, Val!" " Look, this was in the past." "In the present, I have to get you in there, alright?" "Oh, come on, trust me!" " Shut up!" "Val!" "Valentina!" "Now I didn't want it to get to this point, mate!" "I mean don't...believe what you read in newspapers!" "Especially the mirror." "You were right." "The world is beautiful." "I always dreamed you'd be like this." " Yeah?" "And, uh..." "Well, didn't I say you'd be happy here?" "Isn't it just... perfect?" "Perfect..." "If only we didn't have to make a choice." "There doesn't have to be a choice." " Sweetheart?" "Rules are rules." " Those are my father's rules." "We're free." "See?" " Oh, really?" "Really." "Well, I suppose you're right." "Tony, we're free if we want to be." "Let's just let the river do the choosing." "Now..." "Kiss me." "Oh, Val..." "You're a very naughty girl." "When the moon hits your eyes like a big pizza pie, it's amore..." "When the stars make you drool" "Just like pasta fazool, you're in love..." "You know..." "I think maybe I love you, Tony." " Val..." "We should lie here more often." "Get married..." "Make babies..." "Well maybe this is my uh... choice." "What do you mean?" "That's a child!" "It's not a choice." "She needs our help." " Yes." "It's okay, it's okay." "Come here, we'll help you." "Tony, help me!" "She's strong." "Who is "veliki govno"?" "Huh?" "Smile for the cameras, sweetheart." "I think this is my world." "Sustainability's great, if you can achieve it." "The problem in most cases, you simply can't get there." "Aren't you running the risk of entrenching the need for charity by increasingly institutionalizing it?" "Oh, look, it's an unfortunate truism that... charity, like poor little Olga here is always with us." "...To coin a phrase." "Ah, there you are, my darling!" "Ladies and gentlemen, isn't she a wonder?" "Big smiles, big smiles..." "And what's your message to the President?" "Oh, I wouldn't presume to have a message for the President..." "I think, luckily for the Foundation, we see eye to eye on most things." "Tony, I had something.." " One sec, love." "Ah, Mr. President..." " There he is." "Ladies and gentlemen, please be upstanding for the President!" "Yes, so many suffering children." "So much opportunity to do some good with it." "It's going to be a big year for the foundation." "The President's getting ready to make a speech..." "Introduce him on the stage." "Love it!" "I only have three words to say..." "Well done, Tony." "Ah, the children." "The children!" "This is vital moment for the future of the foundation." "The children of the world are depending on us." "Valentina!" "Valentina!" "Anton?" "Anton?" " Yes, yes." "Listen to me right now." "This is nothing to do with you." "This is him." " Where are you?" "This is his imagination!" " Call security now!" "Down here, down here." "Under your arm." "Yes. yes." "What're you..." "Anton, what are you doing here?" "Look at this: "Disgraced director of the children's charity"" ""Suffer the Little Children"..." "He's lying." "It's not right." ""...was arrested last week..."" ""On charges of stealing organs from third world children and"" ""selling them to wealthy Westerners"..." "Come back." "What are you doing?" "That's Anton!" "He's lying!" " Stop!" "Whose side are you on?" "Whose side are you on?" "!" "You've betrayed me, haven't you?" "How could you, after all we've been through?" "Don't you touch her!" "I'll show them!" "I'll show them all, Tony!" "I'll show them all!" "He's a liar!" "He's a fraud!" " Come here you little bastard!" "I'll kill you!" "C'mere!" "Shut up!" "Tryin' to ruin my wealth?" "!" "Stop him!" "Somebody stop him!" " He's a monster!" "Stop him!" "He was being a very naughty little boy!" "Boo!" "Jesus Christ..." "Mr. President..." "Get off me, Valentina!" "No, no..." "No, it can't...!" "Comin' after ya, Tony!" "I'm comin' after ya!" "Get off me!" "Get off...!" "Anton!" "Anton, are you alright?" "Val!" "Val!" "Val, watch out!" "Valentina!" "Val!" "VAL...!" "Anton!" "Val, help me!" "Hold onto me!" "Hold onto me please!" "Anton!" "I'm sorry!" "I'm so sorry!" " I know!" "I know!" "But, I love you!" "Who are you working for, eh?" "You didn't come up with all of it by yourself." "Nah." "No, somebody's got to ya." "Somebody's paid ya." "Speak a little Russian do we?" "!" "Valentina!" "There you are!" " You old bastard!" "After everything we've been through!" "How could you?" "Is this how you repay me?" "I can't believe it!" "After everything!" "This is all your doing!" " All my doing...?" "How could you, doc?" " No, no..." "I'm felicity." "I mean, I'm the felicititator..." "The facilititatator, dear boy." "I create the opportunity." "It's not my fault if you're not up to it!" "You're right." "I forgive you." "Dad!" "Dad!" "Wake up!" "Dad!" "Hey!" "Step back, miss." "Step back." "Sir, can you..." "Please, miss... there's-s n-nothing you can, do h-he's d-dead..." " NOOO!" "D-d-dead... drunk!" "Bullocks." " Haven't we seen this guy before?" "Oh, they all look the same." " Ah, bloody drunk." "I hate you!" "You make me sick!" "This is to be my choice..." "Hold your horses." "There's absolutely no need for that." "That's just plain contrariness." "You really think you deserve punishment, don't you?" "You have no idea." "You're just a kid." "Where have you been?" "I'm a woman now." "Selfish bitch!" "Only fit for..." " Only fit for hell." "If only." "God, stop." "Your pa would never forgive me." "And that'd be a shame." "Let's dance." "Damn!" "I've won." "You know, it's..." "Not exactly what I had in mind." "All this..." "You know, Valentina... being the fifth..." "She's..." "Supposed to be the prize and a part of the final score..." "It just don't seem fair." "I hope they get that bastard and tear him limb from limb." "But they won't." "He leads a charmed life, that one." "I've been trying to get that bastard for years." "I thought I had him this time." "But you know..." "Some prat boy seems to come along to rescue him." "You know those weird markings that he had on his forehead when you found him?" "What is that about?" "Do they protect him?" "Or what is it?" "I've never been into all the black magic stuff." "I just couldn't get the hang of it." "Can I offer you a stick of gum, or uh..." "A breath mint?" "Oh, jeez." "I hate to see you like this, Parny, I mean..." "I tell ya what..." "If you can get me the low-down on all those satanic markings..." "No, better:" "If you can help me wipe that self-righteous little creep off the face of the Earth..." "I'll give you Valentina back." "What do you say?" "Thank God for that!" "What?" "!" "Ah, shit!" "Give it to me." "I'm in a bit of a hurry." "I'll just give us a second while we search for the tube, then." "Oh!" "Here's your tube." "A-and there's mine..." "Mine is a cheap counterfiet." "You know, it breaks so easily." "Ooh!" "Here's another!" " Uhh..." "Stop!" "You're not amused?" "You've been talking to the devil, haven't you?" "Alright, what did he say?" "Oh!" "Wait!" "Let me..." "If you manage to kill me, then he'll release Valentina." "Right?" "It's all lies." "He can't release her!" "He can't release her 'cause he doesn't have her." "He doesn't have her because she's the prize." "Right?" "He still doesn't have five wins." "But if you kill me, he will, won't he?" "And then, doc, you'll have lost Valentina forever!" "Choose." "This is ridiculous!" " Choose!" "Right..." "That one." "You sure you made the right choice?" "Alright, look..." "Let's find out." "Voila!" "Spit it out, you old goat!" "Gotcha!" "Thank you all for coming." "It's been a splendid success." "Hey!" "There are three cardinal rules, mister Nick." "One:" "There is no black magic, only cheap tricks." "And" "I forget the others." "Now, where's my daughter?" "Oh for Chrissakes!" "How should I know?" "You're her father." "You're her loving father." "I mean, she is free, isn't she?" "Jesus." "And the years roll on..." "Winds still blow..." "Snows still fall..." "Fires still burn." "And yet, everything has changed." "Is that my punishment?" "Am I never to find her?" "Please..." "Stop." "No more choices." "...No more choices..." "So you found her." "Yes." "Yes, I found her." "I think..." "She might have a daughter!" "You're not going in there, are you?" "Eh?" "You wouldn't want to scar a child for life, would you?" "Look at you." "No..." "The Great Doctor Parnassus." "You're an utter disgrace." "This is gonna take some time." "Oh, Percy..." "What would I do without you?" "Get a midget." " Get a midget." "Let Dr. Parnassus open your imagination!" "Transcend heights on Beauty's open wing." "And be transported to worlds you've never dreamed of." "Does it come with a happy ending?" "Sorry, we can't guarantee that." "Ladies...?" "God bless you, son." "Get back to work!"
