Hans : Dummkopf! What have you on your shoulders for heads? Swiss cheese?
-
Hans : Give me that little black bottle.

Cleopatra : [yelling at the Freaks, who just had a "We Accept Her" party for Cleo] Get out of here! Make me one of you, will you?
Cleopatra : [to Hans] Well, what are you going to do? What are you, a man or a baby?
Hans : [humiliated by the way she treated his Freak friends] Please, please. You make me ashamed.
Cleopatra : [mocks him] Ashamed? You?
Cleopatra : [sarcastically] Ooh! Holy jumping Christmas!
-
Cleopatra : [faking that she has a pain in her left shoulder] Oh! Oww!
Hans : [concerned, immediately goes to her] What's the matter, Cleo? What's the matter?
Cleopatra : Oh, I think I strained my shoulder last night. Give it a rub, will you?
Cleopatra : [pulls the left side of her blouse way down, exposing part of her back, her underarm, and part of her bosom] Farther.
Cleopatra : [tries hard not to laugh; Hercules and the 2 Circus Workers can't keep from laughing] Farther down, down. Over, over.
Cleopatra : [pretending she is getting turned on, by Hans enthusiastically massaging her] Oh, it's so good to be rubbed.
Circus Worker : [and Another Circus Worker, holding out poker cards to Cleopatra, facetiously] Our cards, lady!
Cleopatra : What for?
Circus Worker : [and Another Circus Worker] A couple of rubbers from Berlin.
[they all laugh]
Hans : [very angry, in German] Ihr können nicht über meine Frau so sprechen! Ihr gehören auf die Strassen! Ihr niedrigen, dreckigen Schweinen!
[You can't talk about my woman like that! You belong on the streets! You low-down, dirty pigs!]
Hercules : [and the 2 Circus Workers, laughing hysterically] Ha, ha, ha!

Frieda : [Frieda visits Hans at his trailer, to talk about Cleopatra] Now that I'm here, I don't know how to say it, how to make you understand. If you knew how I feel, Hans, to come to you about her.
Hans : Oh, Frieda, I'm so sorry. I don't want to hurt you, but ich kann es nicht helfen.
[but I can not help it]
Frieda : If you could be happy, Hans, I would not care.
Hans : But I am happy, Frieda. Never in my life was I so happy.
Frieda : No, Hans. You think it only. For you, she cannot bring happiness... To me, you're a man. But to her, you're only something to laugh at.
