Quotes 

  • [to Holly, as his blood is being transfused into Brad] 

    Sebastian : If he should make love well after this, pay no attention - it will be me.

  • Sebastian : Why are you in make-up?

    Buttons : Why are you The Great Sebastian?

  • Angel : [Sebastian almost drives his car into the elephant Angel is riding]  Hey! Don't crowd, mister! Can't you see an elephant or do I have to paint her red?

    Sebastian : I was blinded by the memory of a beautiful night in Paris.

    Angel : [to the other circus performers]  Blow up your water wings, girls, here comes the big wave!

    [to Sebastian] 

    Angel : How come no husband ever shot you?

    Sebastian : I never offer a sitting target.

    Angel : I thought I'd seen the last of you when you got mixed up with that wire walker in Lisbon.

    Sebastian : You will never see the last of me, Angel.

    Klaus : Angel!

    [shouting loud] 

    Angel : That will be arranged when you meet Klaus.

  • [while Sebastian was speaking, romantically to Holly, Ruth, an elephant, was directed by Angel to pick up and take Holly away, from Sebastian, to Brad] 

    Sebastian : [Sebastian, speaking French]  Qu'est-ce qu'al y a?

    Holly : Let me go. Sebastian.

    Angel : Never try to take anything from an elephant.

    Holly : Sebastian, do something!

    Sebastian : A lion I fight for you, a tiger! But the red-headed wildcat with an elephant, no.

    [then he chuckled, with a big grin] 

    Holly : You make this two-tailed jackass put me down.

    [Ruth, being guided by Angel, took Holly to Brad Braden, then let go of her, in front of Brad]
