:26:00
Who knows you?
Who appreciates you?
:26:03
What do you want?
I keep asking you!
:26:07
What I want...
:26:08
I want to act.
:26:11
Act! Act!
:26:13
You have the wrong house.
We're not allowed to act here.
:26:17
We walk on our hands.
:26:19
I can do that.
:26:21
And you know why?
They bully us.
:26:23
Why? They fear us.
:26:25
If we put on plays,
they'd have to close
:26:29
their great, noble theaters!
:26:31
Their public is bored to death
:26:35
by museum pieces, dusty tragedies
and declaiming mummies
:26:38
who never move!
:26:40
But the Funambules
is full of life, movement!
:26:44
Extravaganzas!
Appearances, disappearances,
:26:47
like in real life!
:26:49
And then... wham!... the kick,
:26:51
wham!... the slapstick...
like in real life!
:26:54
And the audience!
:26:55
Sure, they're poor,
but they're pure gold.
:26:58
Look, up there
:27:00
in the Gods!
:27:36
Watch out, the old fogey!
