"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're ordained for this task." "It's just incredible to me that you can believe something that can be so easily disproved." "No, I don't think so." "We'll see." "No!" "Stop!" "There." "The story's stopped." "No more story..." "And we're still here..." "The fire's still burning..." "It's still snowing." "The wind's still blowing." "Nothing is changed." "Come on, cheer up..." "I've freed you from all this ridiculous nonsense." "Now you can use your powers to do something else." "Have fun." "Learn for language or...go on cruise." "A sign!" "A message!" "That bird was a messenger... from some distant places we know not of!" "I see rule now...so cleared." "It has nothing to do with us here." "Somewhere in the world, right now..." "Someone else is telling a story!" "A different story!" "A saga...a romance...a tale of an 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." "I tell you..." "You're probably not a betting man, aren't you?" "What?" "Not my first wager made with the devil..." "You see, if any first of us two attract twelve disciples, would win the bet." "His argument... the necessities of danger." "Here." "The fabled bliss of ignorance." "Mine, the power of the imagination to transform and illuminate our lives..." "It was a hard fight..." "I won." "My prize..." "The one thing I coveted the most... was ever-lasting life." "Everlasting torment..." "He had tricked me." "Had let me win." "He knew times would change..." "That one day, no one would want my stories..." "This was the price of my arrogance..." "Forgotten." "Lost." "Alone and desperate." "We've stopped." " Go on, with your story." "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 story!" "Go and see." "I saw...someone d-dancing..." "on the water." "I swear!" "I swear!" "When the lightning flashed..." "There was a shadow Over there." "You see that?" "You see the dancer?" " Yeah, he's riverdancing." "Yes, he's riverdancing!" "You see that?"

"Let's get hell out of here, before police shows up." "Anton!" "Come, help me." "No, no, no..." "So will do I." "I'll do." "Watch out." "We don't know where he's b-been anyway." "Ready?" "All clear?" "He's alive!" " Well, he was." "What the hell is that on earth?" "Put him in the trunk." "The boss said leave him." " He thought he was dead." "Come on." "I d-don't like it." "It's none of our b-business." "What are you suggesting, we leave him on the side of the road?" "Definitely." "Let's go." "Come on." "Hey, you!" "I suppose somebody saves your life everyday of the week." " What?" "Is it too much bother with a thank you?" "Huh...who are you?"

"He's in love with Valentina." " In love?" "Who gave him permission?" "It happens." " The little snake!" "I take him from the streets and this is my thanks and I..." "I'll skin him alive!" " While you're at it, there's the other one." " The other one?" " A rattle snake." "Oh, I forgot for cobra." " Oh, Tony?" "Tony's another kettle of fish." " Is he?" "He's ambitious, energetic..." "A man of destiny." "And he's going to help us win?" " I think he just might." "Scrumpy sees good in him." " She'd be better off with Anton." "Perhaps I should just offer her hand to whoever helps us win the next five souls." "That's even worse idea than the other you've had today." "You're not wrong." "Neither of them is worthy of her." "You're never wrong, aren't you?" "Ah, Percy..." "What would I do without you?" "Get a midget." " What?" " Y'know, short fellow." "Short legs, short feet, a head..." " Yes, I know..." "Doctor Parnassus, as old as the universe itself, vast..." "Hello." "How are you doing tonight?" "Has he been drinking?" "What are you doing?" "Stop playing about!" " Seek no more!" "We must concentrate tonight." "Everything depends on it." "Lets the great mind of this Doctor... transport you...to the world... of your imagination." "You my dear, your destiny is a very, specialy..." "What stupid bouncer." "No, no...a singer." "I bet your voice..." "Hi, there!" "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." "Go for it Sal!" " Only if she comes with me." "Can't you 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 we have no idea what might happen." "That's really stupid." " Yea, really stupid." "Follow me." "Enjoy yourselfs." "Put me down!" "I don't want to do it alone!" " She doesn't do it alone!" "It's about time." "And your life will change mysteriously." "Why don't you put me down?" " It's alright." " No, please!" "Dont!" "We got a customer." "Father..." "Father..." "HELP!" "LET ME HELP ME!" "Help!" "Hi, there." "Shit!" "What were you thinking?" "Look what you've done." "Jesus!" "Leave us alone." "Get out of here!" "Leave!" "First to five..." "First to five..." "Just wonder first to five." "You!" "We gotta keep moving!" " I know, I'm sorry." "Get out of my sight!" " Alright." "Alright." "Jesus!" " What are you doing?" "You made a mess!" "Get out of here, come on!" "You're not helping!" " Alright..." "I'm gone." "I wonder if covered by insurance." " Bugger off!" "Alright, I'm just talking." "It's quite intresting crowd tonight." " I wouldn't know." "Just leave me alone, mate." "How do you..." "Val is little worried about you, mate." "She wanted me to come and chat with you, pal." "What happened today, and to the young lady behind the mirror?" "We suggestively..." "Anton, you can tell me, mate." "We all heard her scream." "I was screaming as well." "It was terrifying." " Terrifying?" "I don't understand." "No..." "You wouldn't." "You haven't been inside the Doctor's mind, haven't you?" "No, I haven't." " Yeah, you probably think it's some kind of scam, don't you?" " Well?" "No, it's not." "I wouldn't expect you to understand." "Not in a million years." "If Doctor Parnassus can really control people's mind, why isn't he ruling the world, eh?" "Why bother with this little...side show?" "'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 - a mystery!" "It's everything as real as seen with eyes, it beholds the universe..." " By the way,..." " Behind the mirror." "Does first to five, mean anything to you?" "You're suppose to be the clever one." "It's utterly hopeless..." "It is over..." "Don't say that..." "It's never over." "Parnassus is 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." "Imprisoned by her." "And I was thousend years old." "How could I woo her?" "How could I ever make her mine?" "Don't be a fool!" "You can't die!" "You're immortal!" "You'll just end up broken, in the eternity ward, and I'll..." "Go, you little devil!" "No!" "At times like these, the devil is never far away." "Why so long, Parny?" "Such a vaste the positive." "The devil 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...?" "It's only cuts and bruises." "I thought we'd lost you." "Sweetheart!" "Why that sad face?" "Look at here." "Val, I thought about your father and seems to be in terrible state, you know?" "Now, is it financial thing?" "Is it money?" "I don't know..." " Cause if it is, I could 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..." "Now listen." "You shouldn't talk this way." "It's very important what you're doing." "It's family stuff." "Maybe it's just...things ought to be done in little different way." "What sort of "different" way do you suggest?" "Morning." "How are you doing?" "How did you sleep last night?" "That was a nasty bump on the head you got..." ""Different?" What do you mean?" "Well, I've been thinking sir, that.... it's quite obviously, people..." "not many people, are attracked 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 oppinion, 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 sorry to find a change, mate." "The fact and the matter is, this show, the stage - this is not..." "I-I-I don't know the word is, it's..." " Modern?" "Modern?" "Yes." "You see, people want modern." "I want, you know, like..." "Like this." "This is contemporary." "This is what people want." "I know this world." "Trust me." "Now, with you and your mind control, we need to meet the public halfway." "The right public, the right part of town." " What about the filth?" "What?" " The filth." " He means the Police." "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, acctually, 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." "Scrumpy." "Do you believe in coincidence?" " No." "There's no such thing..." "You've always told me."

"I am thousands of years old," "I have been immortal and..." "I did make a bargain with the devil." "For that woman, from the story...?" " Yes." "Your mother..." "I regained my youth..." "And I won her..." "We lived in joy...." "We grew old together." "Then one day she came and told me she was pregnant." "That - 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 children I would fathered, when they're the age of sixteen, would belong to him." "Just telling the story..." "A great story!" "Why should I believe this?" " Because it's true." "Every word is true." "But, there is a new wager..." "But all is not lost..." "We can win!" "We can win!" "If I win, you're mine again..."

"You made a deal with the devil!" "And what am I?" "Patetic 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." "What..." "How?" "Well, I figured out I could be your fifth soul." "You see, I'll take the risk, sir." "You're good lad, Tony, but it's not use." "We still have time, don't we?" " Yes, of course, we still have time." "I don't ask anything from you in return." "Just another night show." "You're a saint, my boy!" "You're a saint!" "But it's useless." " Let me tell on thing..." "How about...an initiation into the secrets of your trance." "I can't do that." " Why not?" "It won't work..." " I think I could do it." "You're going to teach me..." " It's too late, my friend." "You dont' have to be upset, sir." "You should sound to be happy!" "Think about Valentina." "And we need you to be in trance to work." "Can you give me that?" "Come on, now, close your eyes." "Close your eyes." "Think of the ocean." "The ocean come here and out." "Here...and out." "It's here..." "Out..." "Here..." "Here - out." "Shit!" "Pull yourself together!" "It's not time for playing baby!" "It's no good!" "Tony...oh, Tony.." "You need to calm down, we need you to relax."

"We dont' need that nonsense." "Mind if we get going, sir?" "He's a lier!" "He's liar, Val!" " Look, this was in the past." "In the present, I'm more human." "Oh, come on, trust me!" " Shut up!" "I don't want to forgive this, mate!" "And don't - believe what you read in the newspapers!" "Especially the mirror." "You were right." "The world is beautiful." "I dreamed it would be just like this." "And..." "What did I say you'd be happy?" "Isn't it just - perfect?" "Perfect..." "If only we didn't have to make a choice." "It doesn't have to be a choice." " Sweetheart?" "A rule's a rule?" " 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."

"Come on, smile on camera, sweetheart." "This is my world." "Sustainability's great, if you can achieve it." "The problem is, in many cases you simply can't get there." "Aren't you running the risk of entrenching the need for charity by increasingly institutionalising it?" "Oh, look, the unfortunate truism that charity, like poor little Olga is always with us, ...to coin a phrase." "Ah, there you are, my darling!" "Ladies and gentlemen, isn't she a wonder?" "Bis smiles..." "And what's your message to the President?" "Oh, I wouldn't presume to have a 'message' for the President..." "I think luckely for the Foundation to see, eye to eye on most things." "Tony, if we could have ..." " One sec, love." "Ah, Mr President..." "Ladies and gentlemen, please stand up for Mr President!" "They're so many suffering children." "So much opportunity to do some good deed." "Freddy is gonna make ready to make a speach ...on the stage." "Lovely!" "I have three word to say..." "Well - done" " Tony." "Are the children, the children?" "This is vital moment for the future of Fondation." "Children of the world depend on us." "Valentina!" "Valentina!" "Anton?" "Anton?" " Yes, yes." "Listen to me."

"How could you, after all I've done for you..." "Don't you touch you!" "I'll show them!" "I'll show them all!" "Tony screwed them all!" "He's a lier!" "Shut up!" "Stop it!" "Somebody stop him!" " He's a monster!" " Stop him!" "Get off me, Valentina!" "No, no..." "No good..." "Get off me!" "Get off...!" "Anton!" "Anton, are you alright?" "Valentina!" "Anton!" "Val, help me!" "Don't loose my hands!" "I'm sorry!" " I know!" "I know!" "Val, I love you!" "For whom did you work, eh?" "You didn't come up by yourself..." "Someone's got at you." "Someone's paid you!" "Speak a little Russian do we!" "?" "Valentina!" "There you are!" "This is all your fault!" "Come to everything we've been through!" "How could you?" "Is this how you pay men?" "I can't believe it!" "You did everything!" "This is all your doing!" " All my doing...?" "No, no..." "I'm felicity" "I'm the felicititater..." "the facilititatater, dear boy." "I create the opportunities" "It's not my fault if your not up to it." "Ah, forgive me!" "Dad!" "Dad!" "Wake up!" "Dad!" "Wake up." "Step up." "Step up!" "He's mortal drunk."

"I hate you!" "This is my choice!" "Now, there's absolutely no need for that." "That's just plain contrariness." "You 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." "Swlfish bitch!" "I only fit the..." " Only fit for hell." "If only." "That stubborn Parny 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." "Valentina, being the fifth..." "She's supposed to be the prize not part of the score..." "That's not fair." "I hope they get that bastard." "Tear him limb from limb..." "But they won't." "He leads a charmed life, that one..." "I've been trying to nail that bastard for years..." "But, there's always some prat who seems to come often to his rescue..." "You know those weird markings on his forehead found on him?" "What is it all about?" "Maybe protect him?" "I've never been into that black-magic stuff myself..." "Come on, I offer you a stick gum or breath mint." "Ah, I hate to see you like this." "I tell you what..." "If you can get the lowdown on those satanic markings,... no, better - if you melt me that selfrighteous little prick off the face of the universe..." "I'll give you Valentina back." "What do you say?" "Thanks God for that!" "Give me!" "I'm in little bit hurry." " Give us a second, please." "Here's your tube..." "An here's mine." "But mine's just a cheap counterfeit - it breaks so easily." "Oh, here's another..." "STOP!" " You're not amused?" "You've been talking to the devil, haven't you?" "I want to be saved..." "Wait not me..." "If you manage to kill me, then he'll release Valentina." "Am I right?" "It's all a lies." "He can't release her..." "He can't release her, because doesn't have her." "He doesn't have her, because she's the prize." "Alright." "He still doesn't have five wins." "But if you kill me he will, won't he?" "And then, Doc, lose beautiful Valentina forever." "Choose." " This is ridiculous!" " Choose!" "Alright." "That one." " You sure you made the right choice?" "Oh, look." " Let's find out." "There!" "Gotcha!" "Thanks you all for comming." "That was splending success!" "Hey!" "There are three cardinal rules." "Truss to the neck..." "One, there's no black-magic, only cheap tricks." "And..." "I forget the others." "Now, where's my daughter?" "Oh for Christ sake." "How should I know?" "You're her father." "You're loving father." "I mean, she's free too." "Three years, ..." "The winds still blow." "The snows still fall." "Fires still burn." "Yet...everything has changed." "Except, my panishment." "Am I ever to find her?" "Please...don't..." "No more choices." "So, you found her?" "Yes." "Yes, I found her." "I think...she may have the daughter." "You're not going in there, are you?" "You wouldn't want to frighten her..scar a child for life.." "Look at you." "No." "The great Doctor Parnassus..." "You're an utter disgrace!" "This is going to take time." " Oh, Percy..." "What would I do without you?" "Get a midget." " Get a midget."
