Stupied question but...


After louisa and the guy kiss after the ballet, why did he ditch her? I have many reasons why but I saw other performances on YouTube which confused me more.

He was only a fantasy and the fantasy disappeared.






"Joey, have you ever been in a Turkish prison?"

No, no. He was intended to represent the kind of lothario Billy had been.

Exactly. These charismatic guys often loved them and left them when it came time for the carnival to leave for another small town where the same thing would happen again. It's a similar scenario that Louise described to Billy about the theatrical agent who came to town and told her that he could make her famous - heh, heh.
