• Eddie : [singing]  Step right up for the Main Attraction, Form a line, it's a sight to see, Come up close and watch the action, First in line stands right behind me...

• Eddie : I have a gift for complicating my life.

• Eddie : Do what I showed you. Come on. Give me your hand. Relax your arm. Loosen your fingers.

• Tessa : I'm glad I'm not in love with you.

  Eddie : That would be - pretty foolish, wouldn't it.

  Tessa : Actually, I don't even like you, very much. Why, I could even kiss you without feeling anything - I think.

  [kiss] 

  Tessa : Eddie, Eddie. I didn't mean what I said.

  Eddie : Listen to me, I'll tell you something. I love you - I think.

  [kiss] 

• Eddie : I've been running away from nothing. All my life, I've been running away from nothing.

• Tessa : I fell asleep.

  Eddie : I was watching.

  Tessa : What did I look like.

  Eddie : A cabbage.

• Eddie : It's happening again. I can feel it.

  Tessa : What?

  Eddie : Trouble. Its hounded me all my life. Its in the air. I can smell it. Its lookin' for me out there, somewhere.

  Tessa : Why should trouble be after you?

  Eddie : Some people - are marked for it. Like me. It's like a shadow that follows me. I attract it. And I bring it down on everybody else. That's why I keep moving.

• Eddie : [singing]  Let two lips light the fire of love's desire, do, Oh, lover kiss me now, kiss me now, Feel my heart say, I'll love you forever, this way...

• Eddie : What happened to the singer you had before?

  Gina : Oh, the poor boy just didn't have it. A singer must - give. You know what I mean.

  Eddie : All the way.

  Gina : I thought you would.

• Tessa : Eddie, don't you want to know why I left the circus?

  Eddie : I'd rather know why you smell so good.

• Gina : Sit down, little boy.

  Eddie : Okay. First time I've been seduced with a knife.

• Eddie : So, you trust me.

  Tessa : Yes, I do - I think.

  Eddie : I wouldn't, if I were you.

  Tessa : No?

  Eddie : No.

  Tessa : Why?

  Eddie : Because I've known me a lot longer than you have - I think.

• Tessa : You really want to be clown.

  Eddie : Some people claim I am. Nah, I just want to try everything - once.

• Eddie : Maybe you better understand me. I'm a mongrel pup. I don't go out of my way lookin' for trouble. I like things soft and easy. When I find 'em that way I stretch out on the doormat and wag my tail.

• Eddie : Where do I stay?

  Gina : Oh, there's a bed in front of this trailer. But, if you prefer, you can bunk across the way with the midgets.
