Arrival of the Trio

SQUELCH:
Are you ready to begin?
Are you ready to get on?
You're about to start off on the journey of your life.

RAOUL:
Is this some kind of joke?

MEMBER OF CROWD:
Nah! It's a publicity stunt for that freak show on Coney!

REPORTER:
It's a front page feature, is what it is! You gettin' this, Smitty?

SMITTY:
You betcha!

GANGLE:
If you're ready then get in.
Once you're in then we'll get gone,
And who knows once it goes
Where you'll be when it arrives.

RAOUL:
This is outrageous!

MEMBERS OF CROWD:
It's amazing!
Brilliant!
I'm telling you, that Mr. Y's an absolute genius!

FLECK:
It's a fun house where the mirrors all reflect what's real,

FLECK AND GANGLE:
And reality's as twisted as the mirrors reveal,

FLECK, GANGLE, AND SQUELCH:
And the fun is finding out what the mirrors show.

RAOUL:
This is unacceptable, do you hear me! I will be taking this up with your employer, whoever he is!
GUSTAVE:
Everything and everyone
It's all just how I dreamed!
All the freaks and all the fun
Exactly how I dreamed!
And Phantasma still awaits!
Wonder what's behind its gates.

PEOPLE IN CROWD:
That was something, wasn't it?
Nah, I was hopping she'd sing for us. Caruso sung half of Pagliacci for us when we got off the boat.
Eh, I bet she ain't got it no more, not like the old days. I mean, sure, she's pitch perfect, but empty inside like the plane without-
Look! It's the Rockefellers!
*Excited chatter*
