Phineas Taylor 'P.T.' Barnum
- Mr. Fish: Mr. Barnum, I must shake your hand. My name is John Fish.
- Phineas Taylor 'P.T.' Barnum: A pleasure, sir.
- Mr. Fish: You are my hero, sir. Three years ago I read your autobiography. I was nothing but a mill-hand, but I was inspired by your book. So I advertised for a partner to help me in establishing a cotton mill. We did what we set out to do, and today I'm a man of means. It's thanks to you.
