Liliom? Yes.
Louise
Was he really a very handsome man?
Liliom
I wouldn't exactly say handsome.
Louise

Liliom
He wasn't so good, either. As far as I know he was what they called a clown, a barker in a carousel.
Louise
[Pleased.] Did he tell funny jokes?
Liliom
Lots of 'em. And he sang funny songs, too.
Louise
In the carousel?
Liliom
Yes—but he was something of a bully, too. He'd fight anyone. He even hit your dear little mother.
Julie
That's a lie.
