Go back where you came from.

There's no shortage of soldiers!

Be quiet!

I'll do the talking here!

If I ever see you and your friend again

on my carousel horses...

just wait till you see

what's coming to you!

Say what you will...

I paid for five rides.

I've only gone four times so far.

I intend to stay for the next ride.

- We'll see about that.

- Nobody's going to stop me.

Nobody.

Not me, of course.

I wouldn't dirty my paws.

But I'll have my employee

kick you out.

Ah, but you like him

handling you.

Well, you just wait.

Liliom!

Stop! The boss is calling you!

Get over here. Recess is over.

What's up?

Liliom.

There's a little nobody over there

making a scandal.

Just take a look at you!

You hooligan.

Liliom, it's that grasshopper

over there.

I never want to see this again

at the Hippo-Palace!

- Listen, Mr. Liliom...

- Come on, you two.

Come on, down you go.

Come on, shoo!

Come on, Julie.

These are not our kind of people.

Not so quick!

- If she comes back, you chase her off!

- Come on.

Mr. Liliom, please...

tell me honest and truly...

would you throw me out

if I came back to the carousel?

Yes, sweetheart.

I'd throw you out lickety-split...

if someone gave me a good reason.

Thank you, Mr. Liliom.

And I say you'll be thrown out!

I forbid solicitation here.

What? Solicitation?

She claims that you held me

by the waist.

Is there some new rule?

I'm not allowed to be polite

with the ladies anymore?

Do I have to ask permission now?

From whom?

You can play the heartthrob

and knock up all the tramps you want...

but not that one!

Dare I ask you very respectfully...

to please shut your trap?

- What?

- Your trap!

To the cash register, on the double!

Come back anytime you want,

sweetie.

Day or night, ride a pony, a deer,

whatever you want.

If you're broke,

Liliom will treat you to a ride.

And if anyone dares look at you

the wrong way, I'll spank her in public.

Bastard! I made you what you are!

You think I won't can you

just 'cause you have the gift of gab?

Wrong!

I'll drop you

like a ton of bricks...

whenever I feel like it.

Like a ton of bricks? I see.

I'm sailing.

Don't get upset. We're not arguing

about these two tarts, are we?

Not a word about this young lady.

I've been fired. See you.

But, Mr. Liliom, she didn't say

you're fired...

Shut up, you.

Apologize.

Apologize? Me?

- To whom?

- To the young lady.

Never!

You could offer me the entire casino,

the amusement park...

and the Rothschilds' fortune,

and I'd still refuse, you hear?

That's it! You've said enough!

Now, I advise you to make nice.

One...

I've never touched a woman

to punish her.

Two...

Ferenc Molnár

Ferenc Molnár (born Ferenc Neumann, 12 January 1878 – 1 April 1952, anglicized as Franz Molnar) was a Hungarian-born author, stage-director, dramatist, and poet, widely regarded as Hungary’s most celebrated and controversial playwrights. His primary aim through his writing was to entertain by transforming his personal experiences into literary works of art. He was never connected to any one literary movement but he did utilize the precepts of Naturalism, Neo-Romanticism, Expressionism, and the Freudian psychoanalytical concepts, but only as long as they suited his desires. “By fusing the realistic narrative and stage tradition of Hungary with Western influences into a cosmopolitan amalgam, Molnár emerged as a versatile artist whose style was uniquely his own.” As a novelist, Molnár may best be remembered for The Paul Street Boys, the story of two rival gangs of youths in Budapest. It has been translated into fourteen languages and adapted for the stage and film. It has been considered a masterpiece by many. It was, however, as a playwright that he made his greatest contribution and how he is best known internationally. "In his graceful, whimsical, sophisticated drawing-room comedies, he provided a felicitous synthesis of Naturalism and fantasy, Realism and Romanticism, cynicism and sentimentality, the profane and the sublime." Out of his many plays, The Devil, Liliom, The Swan, The Guardsman and The Play's the Thing endure as classics. He was influenced by the likes of Oscar Wilde, George Bernard Shaw, and Gerhart Hauptmann. He immigrated to the United States to escape persecution of Hungarian Jews during World War II and later adopted American citizenship. Molnár’s plays continue to be relevant and are performed all over the world. His national and international fame has inspired many Hungarian playwrights to include Elemér Boross, László Fodor, Lajos Biró, László Bús-Fekete, Ernö Vajda, Attila Orbók, and Imre Földes, among others. more…
