Notable dialogue[]

Alec Gilroy (making a phone call to try and get someone to book Franko's disappearing hamster act): "No, of course he doesn't really swallow them... Arnold, that act does not put the punters off... your sales of chicken in a basket will not plummet... no, no, of course it's not cruel to the hamsters, it's the best animal act since Murphy's Educated Chickens."
