Philip Philmar: Horace
Quotes
-
[Pinocchio and Lampwick are at Carnival Nero watching a presentation in a booth with Madame Flambeau and a man with a deformed leg]
Madame Flambeau : Now, sir, you say you afflicted... with what?
Horace : Well, the thing is, I've got one leg shorter than the other
Madame Flambeau : I see one perfectly formed leg, and another that has yet to catch up
Horace : No, I've just got one leg that's shorter than the other
Madame Flambeau : And, my prince, what if I told you that it does not need to be that way?
Horace : Tell me what you like, but I'll still have a short leg
Madame Flambeau : But if I could cure you, what would it be worth to you?
Horace : I could throw away these crutches. My, I'd be indebted to you for the rest of my life
Madame Flambeau : That seems like a fair deal to me
[Gives the man a bottle of Elixir]
Madame Flambeau : Drink
[the man opens it, and a ghostly sound emerges from the bottle]
Madame Flambeau : Drink
[the man does so]
Horace : Not bad, not bad at all
Madame Flambeau : More, more
[the man drinks more, then his deformed leg grows straight down to the length it should be. The audience are amazed]
Horace : Impossible!
Madame Flambeau : My friend, with Madame Flambeau's Miracle Elixir, anything is possible, especially the impossible!
[the man drops his crutches and dances in joy]
