with a sword and gun and...

and the most beautiful

uniform ever made.

People will come from

all over the world

and when they see him

they won't laugh.

They will salute.

Wanted! Unique persons, curiosities.

Daring acts. Wonders of the world.

How is it looking girls?

Hey. You looking for freaks?

I know where you

can find one of them.

Really?

Come on, girls.

- Hello.

- Sir, you can't be here.

I'm sorry.

Who is doing that singing?

It's you, isn't it?

- Sir, I'll have to ask you to leave.

- You are so talented, blessed...

Extraordinary.

Unique.

I would even say 'beautiful'.

Sir,

please leave me alone.

They don't understand it,

but they will.

OK. Anne and WD Wheeler.

Brother and sister?

- Yes sir.

- Terrific. And what do you do?

- Trapeze.

- Trapeze. OK.

You know, people aren't gonna like

it if you put us on the stage.

Oh, I am counting on it.

- Is this so far your...

- Entire body.

Fantastic.

I don't need to see it.

Tattoo Man

Barnum Museum.

Dog boy.

Can I just ask how heavy you are?

Do you have a number for that?

- I prefer not to say it, but...

- Just between you and me.

500 pounds.

- 750 pounds? Is what you said?

- 750 pounds!

World's heaviest man.

- What's your name?

- Vasily Palvos, sir.

Yeah, we are going to change that name.

I think you're Irish.

Irish Giant.

We have a show.

That's good, but I need

it five times bigger.

And I want it everywhere.

Carriages, sides of trains,

trolleys, crates...

milk bottles,

everywhere they look.

Barnum's American Museum.

Nice to see you, sir.

You stumble through your days.

Got your head hung low.

Your skies' a shade of Grey.

Like a zombie in a maze.

- Two, please.

You're asleep inside

But you can shake awake.

'Cause you're just a dead man walking

Thinking that's your only option.

But you can flip the switch and

brighten up your darkest day.

Sun is up and the color's blinding.

Take the world and redefine it.

Leave behind your narrow mind.

You'll never be the same.

Come alive, come alive.

Go and light your light.

Let it burn so bright.

Reaching up

to the sky.

And it's open wide.

You're electrified.

When the world becomes a fantasy.

And you're more than

you could ever be.

'Cause you're dreaming

with your eyes wide open.

And you know

you can't go back again.

To the world that

you were living in.

'Cause you're dreaming

with your eyes wide open.

So, come alive!

- Lettie. They are waiting.

- For what?

- For you.

- No.

They don't know it yet,

but they are gonna love you.

Trust me.

Tom.

Up, up.

I see it in your eyes.

You believe that lie.

That you need to hide your face.

Afraid to go outside.
