Away with it!
- Don't be difficult!

3
[Link],791 --> [Link],790
Let's take
our lovely children on an outing !

4
[Link],125 --> [Link],249
You can't do this. I know my rights.

5
[Link],666 --> [Link],457
I have the authority
to close you down .

6
[Link],583 --> [Link],749
This exhibit degrades those who see it
and the poor creature himself.

7
[Link],875 --> [Link],457
He is a freak. How else will he live?

8
[Link],958 --> [Link],457
This is entirely different!

9
[Link],875 --> [Link],790
This is monstrous
and should not be allowed !

10
[Link],333 --> [Link],749
These officers will see
that you are on your way. Good day!

11
[Link],208 --> [Link],790
Move along please !

12
[Link],375 --> [Link],040
Hold it there, sir. Come this way.

13
[Link],125 --> [Link],207
On the move again . . .
14
[Link],125 --> [Link],665
My treasure.

15
[Link],750 --> [Link],082
We're seeing a lot more
of these machine accidents.

16
[Link],291 --> [Link],582
Abominable things these machines.
You can't reason with them .

17
[Link],625 --> [Link],999
What a mess.

18
[Link],958 --> [Link],040
Pull on the rope !

19
[Link],083 --> [Link],124
Irons, please !

20
[Link],083 --> [Link],374
Who is it?

21
[Link],750 --> [Link],832
Excuse me, sir.
- Yes, what is it?

22
[Link],416 --> [Link],874
I found it.
- Good . Did you see it?

23
[Link],916 --> [Link],624
No.
- Alright.

24
[Link],041 --> [Link],374
l'll see you in a moment. Thank you .

25
[Link],208 --> [Link],332
Who's that?
- A friend of mine.

26
[Link],583 --> [Link],624
Oh yes?

27
[Link],625 --> [Link],999
What are you up to?
- Nothing .

28
[Link],416 --> [Link],624
Oh , come on !

29
[Link],958 --> [Link],957
Nothing of any importance.

30
[Link],000 --> [Link],749
Where's Green Street, please?

31
[Link],125 --> [Link],957
Second on the left, then right.
- Thanks.

32
[Link],958 --> [Link],624
Are you the proprietor?
- And who might you be, sir?

33
[Link],416 --> [Link],624
Just one of the curious.
l'd like to see it.

34
[Link],916 --> [Link],665
l don't think so, we're . . .

35
[Link],791 --> [Link],915
closed !
- l'd pay handsomely for a showing .

36
[Link],333 --> [Link],290
Are you the proprietor?
- Handsomely?. Who sent you?

37
[Link],708 --> [Link],957
I beg your pardon?
- Never mind .

38
[Link],791 --> [Link],957
l'm the owner.

39
[Link],625 --> [Link],040
Life . . .

40
[Link],375 --> [Link],874
is full of surprises.

41
[Link],791 --> [Link],499
Consider the fate

42
[Link],916 --> [Link],457
of this creature's poor mother,

43
[Link],541 --> [Link],207
struck down . . .

44
[Link],250 --> [Link],624
in the fourth month
of her condition by wild elephants.

45
[Link],416 --> [Link],790
Struck down . . .

46
[Link],208 --> [Link],457
on an uncharted African isle.

47
[Link],458 --> [Link],332
The result . . .

48
[Link],083 --> [Link],499
is plain to see.

49
[Link],250 --> [Link],457
Ladies and Gentlemen ,

50
[Link],041 --> [Link],790
the terrible . . .

51
[Link],791 --> [Link],915
Elephant Man !

52
[Link],750 --> [Link],540
Stand up !
- Stand up !

53
[Link],333 --> [Link],874
Turn around !
- Turn around !

54
[Link],458 --> [Link],957
You'll bring him to me
tomorrow, ten o'clock, Mr. . . .?

55
[Link],375 --> [Link],082
Bytes. He'll be there.

56
[Link],625 --> [Link],290
Here is my card . l'll send a cab.

57
[Link],708 --> [Link],415
We have a deal.

58
[Link],083 --> [Link],415
We understand each other,

59
[Link],208 --> [Link],957
more than money has changed hands.

60
[Link],625 --> [Link],665
We understand each other
completely, my friend .

61
[Link],083 --> [Link],624
Yes. Thank you , Mr. Bytes.

62
[Link],958 --> [Link],290
Cor, what a stink!

63
[Link],625 --> [Link],082
l'm looking for Mr. Frederick Treves.

64
[Link],250 --> [Link],915
Please, ma'am .

65
[Link],250 --> [Link],915
l'll send for him . Nurse !

66
[Link],416 --> [Link],290
Mr. Treves, this . . .

67
[Link],708 --> [Link],957
Yes.
- Says, that . . .

68
[Link],375 --> [Link],457
Yes, I was expecting him .

69
[Link],708 --> [Link],957
Are you the cab driver? - Yes.
- Anyone else with you?

70
[Link],375 --> [Link],999
No, just this gentleman .
- Thank you for your troubles.

71
[Link],583 --> [Link],707
Not at all. My pleasure.
- Thank you .

72
[Link],791 --> [Link],124
This way, please?

73
[Link],291 --> [Link],540
l'll be in my room
and l'm not to be disturbed .

74
[Link],958 --> [Link],040
Of course, sir.

75
[Link],833 --> [Link],915
Will you come with me?

76
[Link],958 --> [Link],624
You heard the doctor?

77
[Link],208 --> [Link],332
Go on !

78
[Link],375 --> [Link],957
My name is Frederick Treves and l'm
the surgeon at the London Hospital.

79
[Link],375 --> [Link],415
And . . .

80
[Link],916 --> [Link],415
I lecture in anatomy
at the medical college.

81
[Link],041 --> [Link],332
Sorry.

82
[Link],958 --> [Link],624
l'd like very much to examine you .

83
[Link],791 --> [Link],915
Would that be alright?

84
[Link],791 --> [Link],999
Please.

85
[Link],583 --> [Link],707
l'd like to ask you a few questions.

86
[Link],958 --> [Link],290
Would that be alright?

87
[Link],916 --> [Link],665
Your owner . . .The man ,
who looks after you , tells me that . . .

88
[Link],333 --> [Link],832
you're English
and that your name is John Merrick.

89
[Link],125 --> [Link],374
John Merrick, is that right?

90
[Link],875 --> [Link],082
I tell you what,
I think l'll ask you a question

91
[Link],166 --> [Link],040
and you shake you head for 'no'.

92
[Link],875 --> [Link],624
Have you always been this way?

93
[Link],583 --> [Link],665
Are you in any pain?

94
[Link],625 --> [Link],790
Are your parents still alive?

95
[Link],583 --> [Link],790
Do you understand me? Your father,
your mother, are they dead?

96
[Link],541 --> [Link],082
Freddie, what are you doing . . .?

97
[Link],500 --> [Link],957
Oh , l'm sorry. I had no idea . . .

98
[Link],208 --> [Link],624
What have you got there?
- You'll find out at the meeting .

99
[Link],041 --> [Link],624
Until then , not a word to anyone.

100
[Link],041 --> [Link],999
Alright.
You must have quite a find in there.

101
[Link],416 --> [Link],249
I don't know.
- "Nothing of any importance", eh?

102
[Link],208 --> [Link],457
Not a word , please, Fox.

103
[Link],958 --> [Link],499
Alright.

104
[Link],541 --> [Link],332
I think l'll examine you now.

105
[Link],750 --> [Link],499
l'll leave the questions till later.

106
[Link],708 --> [Link],290
Will you take your hat off?

107
[Link],250 --> [Link],582
Don't be frightened .
I simply want to look at you .

108
[Link],625 --> [Link],665
Take your hat off.
Don't be frightened .
109
[Link],416 --> [Link],082
Thank you . Good afternoon .

110
[Link],458 --> [Link],624
Mr. Thomas, Mr. Rogers !

111
[Link],750 --> [Link],957
Pull the curtains aside !

112
[Link],458 --> [Link],415
He's English . He is 2 1 years of age.

113
[Link],625 --> [Link],749
His name is John Merrick.

114
[Link],583 --> [Link],374
In the course
of my profession I have come upon

115
[Link],791 --> [Link],582
many deformities of the face
due to injury or disease

116
[Link],958 --> [Link],790
as well as mutilations and contortions
of the body from like causes.

117
[Link],083 --> [Link],040
I have never seen such a perverted ,
degraded version of a human being .

118
[Link],291 --> [Link],957
I wish to draw your attention to
his insidious conditions.

119
[Link],375 --> [Link],040
Can you see over there?

120
[Link],791 --> [Link],957
Note, if you will,
the extreme enlargement of the skull

121
[Link],833 --> [Link],415
and the limb, which is useless,
122
[Link],791 --> [Link],499
the alarming curvature of the spine.
Would you turn round , please?

123
[Link],958 --> [Link],457
Turn round , please !

124
[Link],625 --> [Link],290
The looseness of the skin

125
[Link],708 --> [Link],165
and the fibrous tumours
that cover 90% of the body.

126
[Link],125 --> [Link],790
There is every indication that these
afflictions have existed and have

127
[Link],166 --> [Link],957
progressed rapidly since birth .

128
[Link],416 --> [Link],624
He suffers from chronic bronchitis.

129
[Link],083 --> [Link],790
Interesting side note:
Despite these anomalies

130
[Link],166 --> [Link],040
the patient's genitals
remain entirely intact and unaffected .

131
[Link],458 --> [Link],374
Thank you .

132
[Link],958 --> [Link],124
And his left arm
is perfectly normal, as you see.

133
[Link],500 --> [Link],665
So gentlemen ,

134
[Link],958 --> [Link],332
owing to the
congenital exostosis of the skull,
135
[Link],458 --> [Link],957
extensive papillomatous growths,
pendulous masses of skin ,

136
[Link],416 --> [Link],457
the enlargement of
the right limb and all the bones,

137
[Link],833 --> [Link],749
the distortion of the head
and the extensive area

138
[Link],125 --> [Link],790
covered by papillomatous growth ,

139
[Link],250 --> [Link],582
The patient
has been called the "Elephant Man".

140
[Link],416 --> [Link],624
Thank you .

141
[Link],541 --> [Link],290
You haven't
mentioned his mental state.

142
[Link],958 --> [Link],832
He's an imbecile, probably from birth .
A complete idiot.

143
[Link],291 --> [Link],540
Pray to God he is.

144
[Link],958 --> [Link],457
Where have you been?

145
[Link],125 --> [Link],165
Out!

146
[Link],458 --> [Link],957
How can I eat with a noise like that?

147
[Link],083 --> [Link],290
Bytes, don't!

148
[Link],500 --> [Link],457
Where were you? What did you do?

149
[Link],958 --> [Link],457
Our man is sick. Come right away!
- What is it?

150
[Link],916 --> [Link],249
Like this . . .

151
[Link],958 --> [Link],790
What did you do with him?
He's been like this all night!

152
[Link],375 --> [Link],457
He was fine when he left here.
Now look at him !

153
[Link],833 --> [Link],790
Yes, I intend to.

154
[Link],250 --> [Link],790
What happened?
- He had a fall. He falls.

155
[Link],750 --> [Link],624
Looks like a very severe fall.

156
[Link],166 --> [Link],582
He's a . . .

157
[Link],166 --> [Link],499
. . . clumsy soul.

158
[Link],250 --> [Link],457
Never looks where he's going .
But that's alright.

159
[Link],791 --> [Link],915
He has me to take care of him .

160
[Link],833 --> [Link],082
Why is he sitting up? He needs rest!

161
[Link],416 --> [Link],249
That's how he sleeps.
162
[Link],625 --> [Link],957
lf he lies down , he'll kill himself.

163
[Link],375 --> [Link],624
His head's too big .

164
[Link],041 --> [Link],290
This man belongs in the hospital.

165
[Link],750 --> [Link],957
Can't you treat him here?
Listen , he's my livelihood .

166
[Link],416 --> [Link],582
We're business partners, he and I.

167
[Link],916 --> [Link],124
He's the greatest freak in the world !
- Now, you listen .

168
[Link],166 --> [Link],999
You're not going to have a livelihood
if he dies. Go and fetch a cab !

169
[Link],125 --> [Link],624
I truly appreciate this, my friend .

170
[Link],041 --> [Link],749
Listen ,

171
[Link],125 --> [Link],290
there's much I can do for you .

172
[Link],750 --> [Link],415
I move in the proper circles.

173
[Link],791 --> [Link],707
In fact, anything at all,
if you take my meaning .

174
[Link],791 --> [Link],582
Everything will be taken care of.
- Good to do business with you .

175
[Link],250 --> [Link],790
Can I have a bowl of oatmeal?

176
[Link],416 --> [Link],165
Breakfasting with the patients?
- lt's for a patient.

177
[Link],625 --> [Link],124
There you are.

178
[Link],375 --> [Link],749
Thank you . Good morning .
- Morning .

179
[Link],791 --> [Link],415
Come here a moment!

180
[Link],458 --> [Link],082
What's that you've got there?

181
[Link],916 --> [Link],832
Good Heavens ! You haven't acquired
a taste for this stuff?

182
[Link],291 --> [Link],124
Yes, it's quite nutritious.
- Possibly.

183
[Link],500 --> [Link],957
Not quite the diet for
a grown man . Nurse !

184
[Link],291 --> [Link],249
Just take this to the patient
in the isolation ward , will you?

185
[Link],916 --> [Link],957
Yes, sir.

186
[Link],333 --> [Link],832
Don't be frightened .
He won't hurt you .

187
[Link],416 --> [Link],457
Won't he indeed . Just a moment!
There's something I want to say.
188
[Link],916 --> [Link],040
A hospital's no place for secrecy.

189
[Link],458 --> [Link],457
Doctors spiriting hooded figures
around cause comment.

190
[Link],833 --> [Link],624
Why wasn't he properly admitted?
Why the isolation ward?

191
[Link],083 --> [Link],124
He's not contagious, is he?
- No, he's got chronic bronchitis

192
[Link],500 --> [Link],582
and he's been beaten .
- Why not the General Ward?

193
[Link],041 --> [Link],165
He's seriously deformed .

194
[Link],125 --> [Link],124
I fear it could shock the patients.

195
[Link],416 --> [Link],707
Deformed , is that it?
ls he ultimately incurable?

196
[Link],458 --> [Link],040
Yes, sir.
- But you must be aware,

197
[Link],458 --> [Link],290
that this hospital
doesn't accept incurables.

198
[Link],708 --> [Link],124
l'm aware of that.
But this case is quite exceptional.

199
[Link],208 --> [Link],290
I quite appreciate your problem .

200
[Link],708 --> [Link],790
Why not contact
the Royal Hospital for Incurables?

201
[Link],250 --> [Link],707
Perhaps they might find him a place.
- Yes. Would you like to meet him?

202
[Link],916 --> [Link],957
Excuse me !

203
[Link],708 --> [Link],165
The Elephant Man .

204
[Link],000 --> [Link],874
Sorry.

205
[Link],208 --> [Link],082
I should have warned you .

206
[Link],041 --> [Link],457
Please forgive me. You alright?

207
[Link],791 --> [Link],249
Please send Mrs. Mothershead up here.

208
[Link],625 --> [Link],124
Tell her to knock and wait for me.

209
[Link],750 --> [Link],790
l'm sorry about that.

210
[Link],041 --> [Link],624
We'll bring you another breakfast.
You must be very hungry.

211
[Link],625 --> [Link],165
You'll be comfortable here.
l'll see you get everything you need .

212
[Link],458 --> [Link],457
Blimey!

213
[Link],750 --> [Link],790
So, this is the Elephant Man .

214
[Link],333 --> [Link],249
I ain't seen nothing like you before.

215
[Link],791 --> [Link],290
What the hell happened to you?

216
[Link],041 --> [Link],624
Dumb, eh?

217
[Link],250 --> [Link],957
I like people that can keep quiet.

218
[Link],375 --> [Link],582
Here, have a drink!

219
[Link],958 --> [Link],415
Go on ! No?

220
[Link],208 --> [Link],457
You should be more sociable.

221
[Link],458 --> [Link],957
Get yourself disliked .

222
[Link],250 --> [Link],957
We're going to be good friends and
my friends will want to meet you .

223
[Link],625 --> [Link],124
And they will, believe me.

224
[Link],458 --> [Link],540
l've brought your breakfast.
What are you doing down there?

225
[Link],708 --> [Link],790
Come up on the bed .

226
[Link],000 --> [Link],040
Come on !

227
[Link],916 --> [Link],624
All he understands is a good smack.
- He's had his share of smacks.

228
[Link],750 --> [Link],457
That drives him under the bed .
Treat him with kindness and patience.

229
[Link],916 --> [Link],249
Perhaps you've
got time for that sort of treatment.

230
[Link],375 --> [Link],624
l've got a hospital to run .
Don't you waste your time, with him .

231
[Link],125 --> [Link],290
lt's like talking to a brick wall.

232
[Link],708 --> [Link],457
I don't mean to be harsh ,

233
[Link],416 --> [Link],790
but he doesn't belong here.

234
[Link],125 --> [Link],040
Honestly, sir,
what can you do for him?

235
[Link],125 --> [Link],290
By the way, Mr. Carr-Gomm said

236
[Link],416 --> [Link],957
he'd like to see you
when you can spare a moment.

237
[Link],375 --> [Link],499
Yes.
- Thank you .

238
[Link],958 --> [Link],790
I can't help you , unless you help me.

239
[Link],416 --> [Link],790
I believe there's something
you want to say to me.

240
[Link],166 --> [Link],499
Something back there.

241
[Link],958 --> [Link],040
I can't help you , unless you help me !

242
[Link],791 --> [Link],915
I believe you want to say something .

243
[Link],083 --> [Link],457
l've got to understand
what you're feeling and thinking .

244
[Link],458 --> [Link],165
Do you understand me?

245
[Link],500 --> [Link],832
Just nod your head .
Can you understand me?

246
[Link],458 --> [Link],957
Nod your head if you understand me.

247
[Link],708 --> [Link],249
Alright.

248
[Link],291 --> [Link],290
You do understand .

249
[Link],708 --> [Link],832
I want to hear you talk.
You are not a wall.

250
[Link],291 --> [Link],624
Do you understand?
I want you to talk to me.

251
[Link],083 --> [Link],374
Now. I want to hear you say it.

252
[Link],083 --> [Link],040
I want to hear how you say things.
l'm not going to hurt you .

253
[Link],458 --> [Link],790
Got to hear!

254
[Link],166 --> [Link],374
Very slowly, I want you to say "yes".
255
[Link],666 --> [Link],165
Say "yes".

256
[Link],916 --> [Link],290
<i>Y es</i>

257
[Link],291 --> [Link],415
Yes !

258
[Link],791 --> [Link],165
Alright.

259
[Link],625 --> [Link],124
Now just once more: "yes".

260
[Link],250 --> [Link],415
I can understand that. That's good !

261
[Link],583 --> [Link],165
That's very good . Alright now

262
[Link],833 --> [Link],582
l'm going to say some words to you
and you repeat them . Understand?

263
[Link],958 --> [Link],957
Say "Hello, my name is . . ."

264
[Link],708 --> [Link],749
Hello.

265
[Link],416 --> [Link],957
My name is . . .

266
[Link],375 --> [Link],415
John Merrick.

267
[Link],083 --> [Link],957
John , that's very good .
Say "John Merrick".

268
[Link],125 --> [Link],374
Merrick.

269
[Link],708 --> [Link],582
"Hello, my name is John Merrick".

270
[Link],041 --> [Link],124
Hello, my name is . . .

271
[Link],291 --> [Link],165
. . . is John Merrick.

272
[Link],291 --> [Link],374
You can speak!

273
[Link],416 --> [Link],040
How did you get up here?

274
[Link],916 --> [Link],290
I want my man back.
- Just a moment.

275
[Link],708 --> [Link],290
Never mind . I want my man .

276
[Link],583 --> [Link],707
He's still very sick.
Come downstairs and l'll explain .

277
[Link],125 --> [Link],124
No !

278
[Link],375 --> [Link],957
Don't.

279
[Link],416 --> [Link],290
You've had plenty of time to cure him .

280
[Link],166 --> [Link],790
And now he's leaving with me.

281
[Link],375 --> [Link],957
Do you understand me?

282
[Link],416 --> [Link],374
Now, Mr. Treves.

283
[Link],791 --> [Link],957
We made a deal.
- You misunderstood .

284
[Link],416 --> [Link],749
This man has suffered a severe fall.
lf you take my meaning .

285
[Link],125 --> [Link],707
He is my patient now.
- Pull the other one !

286
[Link],125 --> [Link],290
l'm sorry. But all you do is profit
from another man's misery.

287
[Link],833 --> [Link],374
Do you think you are better than me?
- No.

288
[Link],791 --> [Link],290
You wanted the freak

289
[Link],375 --> [Link],624
to show your doctor chums,
make a name for yourself.

290
[Link],958 --> [Link],624
You , my friend . . .

291
[Link],500 --> [Link],790
I gave you the freak . . . on trust.

292
[Link],583 --> [Link],457
In the name of science.

293
[Link],583 --> [Link],624
And now I want him back!
- You do not own this man . Stop it!

294
[Link],708 --> [Link],249
I want him back!
- So you can beat him?

295
[Link],458 --> [Link],082
So you can starve him?
A dog in the street would fare better.
296
[Link],458 --> [Link],124
l'll go to the authorities.
- Go to them , then !

297
[Link],166 --> [Link],457
By all means.

298
[Link],833 --> [Link],957
They'll be interested
to hear your story and ours.

299
[Link],916 --> [Link],957
Now, I think

300
[Link],958 --> [Link],124
we really understand one another.

301
[Link],500 --> [Link],249
Alright.

302
[Link],958 --> [Link],499
A singularly unattractive character!

303
[Link],875 --> [Link],874
lt seems to me I might
as well meet this patient of yours.

304
[Link],791 --> [Link],415
Thank you very much .

305
[Link],416 --> [Link],290
Shall we say in a few days?

306
[Link],916 --> [Link],624
Two o'clock tomorrow afternoon?

307
[Link],625 --> [Link],582
Whatever's most convenient, sir.

308
[Link],583 --> [Link],040
Two o'clock then , tomorrow.

309
[Link],791 --> [Link],124
Thank you very much .
310
[Link],958 --> [Link],290
Two o'clock . . .

311
[Link],041 --> [Link],082
Morning , Mr Treves. Early again !
- Yes.

312
[Link],458 --> [Link],499
You'd have made a good milkman !

313
[Link],958 --> [Link],957
l'll keep that in mind .
- Okay, sir.

314
[Link],708 --> [Link],290
"He restoreth my soul.

315
[Link],708 --> [Link],374
He leadeth me into paths of . . .
righteousness for his name's sake."

316
[Link],791 --> [Link],707
"Righteousness ! "

317
[Link],458 --> [Link],082
"He leadeth me into the paths of

318
[Link],208 --> [Link],790
righteousness for his name's sake."

319
[Link],250 --> [Link],957
Good . lt's very good .

320
[Link],750 --> [Link],290
When your visitor comes today,
I want you to say it exactly the same.

321
[Link],708 --> [Link],124
When I introduce him to you ,
just say the words you've learnt.

322
[Link],583 --> [Link],957
lf you have trouble with the words,
l'll help you , nothing to worry about.

323
[Link],416 --> [Link],957
l'll introduce you to him and say:
"Please meet Mr. Carr-Gomm ."

324
[Link],375 --> [Link],040
And you will say:

325
[Link],166 --> [Link],124
Hello, my name is John Merrick.

326
[Link],833 --> [Link],374
l'm very pleased to meet you .

327
[Link],458 --> [Link],457
Good . Good .

328
[Link],958 --> [Link],165
l'll go and get Mr. Carr-Gomm .

329
[Link],958 --> [Link],957
lt is only a physical problem .

330
[Link],375 --> [Link],290
He has trouble with certain sounds
because of the constrictive deformity.

331
[Link],458 --> [Link],415
But he can talk.
- ls he able to understand?

332
[Link],875 --> [Link],290
Yes. Oh , yes.

333
[Link],833 --> [Link],957
Except he's so anxious to make a good
impression , that he might be nervous.

334
[Link],750 --> [Link],957
Come in !

335
[Link],875 --> [Link],124
May I introduce you to Mr. Carr-Gomm?

336
[Link],625 --> [Link],957
This is John Merrick.
- Hello.
337
[Link],958 --> [Link],249
My name is John Merrick.
l'm very pleased to meet you .

338
[Link],875 --> [Link],790
l'm very pleased to meet you .

339
[Link],416 --> [Link],124
How are you feeling today?
- I feel much better.

340
[Link],625 --> [Link],249
Are you comfortable here?

341
[Link],458 --> [Link],457
Everybody's very kind .

342
[Link],166 --> [Link],582
How is your bronchitis?

343
[Link],583 --> [Link],124
Mr. Merrick likes
the food here, don't you?

344
[Link],791 --> [Link],749
Much better than what l'm used to.
- Oh yes?

345
[Link],041 --> [Link],124
And what was that?

346
[Link],958 --> [Link],415
Potatoes.

347
[Link],208 --> [Link],165
You were flogged?

348
[Link],125 --> [Link],957
I feel much better now.

349
[Link],250 --> [Link],124
Splendid .
How do you find Mr. Treves

350
[Link],250 --> [Link],707
as a teacher, I mean?

351
[Link],875 --> [Link],874
Very kind .

352
[Link],375 --> [Link],790
How long did you and Mr. Treves
prepare for this interview?

353
[Link],291 --> [Link],624
Very kind .

354
[Link],458 --> [Link],707
I understand .
lt's been a pleasure meeting you .

355
[Link],208 --> [Link],207
Good day.

356
[Link],833 --> [Link],457
lt was very good , John .

357
[Link],500 --> [Link],457
l'll be back in a moment.

358
[Link],291 --> [Link],790
"The Lord is my shepherd ,

359
[Link],458 --> [Link],957
I shall not want.

360
[Link],750 --> [Link],790
He maketh me lie down . . ."

361
[Link],125 --> [Link],374
A brave attempt but he simply
mouthed words taught by you .

362
[Link],500 --> [Link],707
l'm sorry to have wasted your time.

363
[Link],791 --> [Link],415
"He restoreth my soul."

364
[Link],666 --> [Link],499
He simply doesn't belong here.
He should be constantly looked after.

365
[Link],625 --> [Link],624
l'm sorry, things have
turned out this way. Good day.

366
[Link],208 --> [Link],207
<i>Y es</i>

367
[Link],291 --> [Link],915
"Though I walked through the valley of
the shadow of death , I fear no evil,

368
[Link],458 --> [Link],707
for Thou art with me,
Thy rod and Thy staff . . ."

369
[Link],125 --> [Link],832
Mr. Carr-Gomm !

370
[Link],625 --> [Link],249
What is it?

371
[Link],750 --> [Link],499
lt's that!

372
[Link],958 --> [Link],290
I didn't teach him that part!

373
[Link],833 --> [Link],957
"Goodness and mercy
will follow me all the days of my life

374
[Link],125 --> [Link],624
and I shall dwell
in the house of the Lord forever."

375
[Link],500 --> [Link],290
How did you know the rest of it?
- Very strange.

376
[Link],791 --> [Link],374
How did you know
the rest of the 23rd Psalm?
377
[Link],916 --> [Link],749
I used to read the Bible every day.

378
[Link],458 --> [Link],457
I know it very well
and the Book of Common Prayer.

379
[Link],458 --> [Link],957
The 23rd Psalm's beautiful.
lt's my favourite.

380
[Link],708 --> [Link],457
Come and see me in my office
when you're through .

381
[Link],625 --> [Link],249
There's something
important I want to say.

382
[Link],291 --> [Link],957
Goodbye.
I do hope we shall meet again .

383
[Link],916 --> [Link],749
Why didn't you tell me you can read?

384
[Link],125 --> [Link],415
I was frightened .

385
[Link],125 --> [Link],832
I see.
- I was afraid to talk.

386
[Link],458 --> [Link],915
Please forgive me.

387
[Link],583 --> [Link],332
Can you imagine the life he must
have had? - Yes, I think I can .

388
[Link],458 --> [Link],790
I don't believe so.
I don't believe any of us can .

389
[Link],208 --> [Link],249
Terrible though his appearance is,
so terrible, that nervous persons

390
[Link],375 --> [Link],749
fly in horror from the sight of him ,

391
[Link],875 --> [Link],957
and that he is debarred from
earning his livelihood in any way.

392
[Link],125 --> [Link],374
Yet he is superior in intelligence.
He can read and write,

393
[Link],500 --> [Link],915
is quiet, gentle,
not to say even refined .

394
[Link],375 --> [Link],707
I should like to meet this gentleman .

395
[Link],500 --> [Link],290
Have you seen this?
- No.

396
[Link],833 --> [Link],790
Listen to this !
- Hey up, hey up !

397
[Link],958 --> [Link],124
Hey up !

398
[Link],166 --> [Link],082
Listen ! This is a letter

399
[Link],958 --> [Link],874
to the London Times
from the governor of the hospital.

400
[Link],083 --> [Link],540
In a little room in one of attic wards
is a man named John Merrick,

401
[Link],458 --> [Link],624
so dreadful a sight, that he is
unable even to come out by day.

402
[Link],375 --> [Link],207
He's been called the "Elephant Man"
on account of his terrible deformity.

403
[Link],625 --> [Link],540
His appearance is so terrible,
that women and nervous persons

404
[Link],666 --> [Link],957
fly in terror at the sight of him .

405
[Link],000 --> [Link],624
And how do you get tickets to see him?

406
[Link],041 --> [Link],082
Your very own Sunny Jim !
- Let's go and see him !

407
[Link],208 --> [Link],540
Keep your shirt on .
The time must be right.

408
[Link],666 --> [Link],124
Now he's in the attic, but tomorrow
they'll move him to Bedstead Square,

409
[Link],541 --> [Link],540
right into my lap.
Then , for the right price

410
[Link],666 --> [Link],290
you'll see something you'll
never ever see again in your life !

411
[Link],666 --> [Link],124
Don't look so glum girls !
Volunteers should be more cheerful !

412
[Link],875 --> [Link],790
Put your collar straight, girl !

413
[Link],708 --> [Link],290
And remember

414
[Link],166 --> [Link],290
that under no circumstances whatsoever
415
[Link],916 --> [Link],790
are any mirrors to be brought here.
- Yes, Mrs. Mothershead .

416
[Link],958 --> [Link],624
Yes, Mrs. Mothershead .
- Yes.

417
[Link],958 --> [Link],457
Right.

418
[Link],208 --> [Link],749
He's so ugly!
- Well, ugly or not, help me !

419
[Link],125 --> [Link],290
Feeling better now, Mr. Merrick?

420
[Link],458 --> [Link],707
<i>Y es</i>

421
[Link],125 --> [Link],624
You look nice in your new clothes.

422
[Link],125 --> [Link],707
Thank you very much .
- Well, if there's nothing else,

423
[Link],125 --> [Link],790
we'll be leaving you now.
- No, there's nothing .

424
[Link],041 --> [Link],124
Ready for tea?

425
[Link],750 --> [Link],374
Please go in , John .

426
[Link],291 --> [Link],040
Make yourself comfortable.

427
[Link],833 --> [Link],624
Anne, come and meet our guest.

428
[Link],583 --> [Link],957
l'd like you to meet my wife, Anne.

429
[Link],333 --> [Link],624
Anne, this is John Merrick.

430
[Link],000 --> [Link],415
l'm very pleased to meet you .

431
[Link],625 --> [Link],874
I . . .

432
[Link],083 --> [Link],624
l'm very pleased .

433
[Link],375 --> [Link],124
What is it? What's the matter?

434
[Link],125 --> [Link],249
lt's just that I . . .

435
[Link],250 --> [Link],290
l'm not used

436
[Link],625 --> [Link],374
to being treated so well

437
[Link],125 --> [Link],457
by so beautiful a woman .

438
[Link],166 --> [Link],957
Would you like a cup of tea?
- That's a good idea.

439
[Link],458 --> [Link],082
Come and see the rest of the house !

440
[Link],833 --> [Link],624
How's your tea?

441
[Link],375 --> [Link],415
Very good .

442
[Link],458 --> [Link],290
l'm enjoying my visit very much .
443
[Link],500 --> [Link],124
lt's very kind of you
to invite me to your home.

444
[Link],625 --> [Link],790
l'm sorry
that I made a spectacle of myself.

445
[Link],291 --> [Link],790
No, not at all.

446
[Link],708 --> [Link],290
I love the way

447
[Link],000 --> [Link],082
you've arranged the pictures.
- Oh , thank you .

448
[Link],208 --> [Link],124
ls that the way in most houses?

449
[Link],500 --> [Link],082
Yes, l'm sure it is.

450
[Link],125 --> [Link],624
Who are they of?

451
[Link],291 --> [Link],582
These are relatives
and these are our children .

452
[Link],625 --> [Link],790
Children? May I see?

453
[Link],541 --> [Link],582
Yes, of course.

454
[Link],458 --> [Link],582
Where are the children?

455
[Link],750 --> [Link],499
They're out with friends.

456
[Link],958 --> [Link],415
Friends . . .
457
[Link],500 --> [Link],332
Here is Frederick's mother.

458
[Link],500 --> [Link],582
And these are my parents.

459
[Link],375 --> [Link],290
They have such noble faces.

460
[Link],208 --> [Link],249
Yes, l've always thought so myself.

461
[Link],541 --> [Link],040
Would you . . .

462
[Link],041 --> [Link],124
care to see my mother?

463
[Link],333 --> [Link],915
Your mother?

464
[Link],416 --> [Link],832
Yes, please.

465
[Link],583 --> [Link],249
Oh , but she's . . .

466
[Link],958 --> [Link],665
Mr. Merrick, she's beautiful !

467
[Link],083 --> [Link],457
She has . . .

468
[Link],125 --> [Link],832
She has the face of an angel.

469
[Link],583 --> [Link],040
I must . . .

470
[Link],958 --> [Link],249
I must have been
a great disappointment to her.

471
[Link],708 --> [Link],832
No, Mr. Merrick, no.

472
[Link],791 --> [Link],874
No son as loving as you
could ever be a disappointment.

473
[Link],041 --> [Link],332
lf only I could find her!

474
[Link],750 --> [Link],457
lf she could see me
with such lovely friends,

475
[Link],583 --> [Link],832
perhaps she could love me as I am .

476
[Link],083 --> [Link],707
l've tried so hard to be good .

477
[Link],291 --> [Link],582
l'm so sorry.

478
[Link],000 --> [Link],665
Sorry.
- Please !

479
[Link],541 --> [Link],082
l'm so sorry.

480
[Link],000 --> [Link],374
Please !

481
[Link],083 --> [Link],790
What's that you're doing?

482
[Link],250 --> [Link],582
What is it?

483
[Link],416 --> [Link],082
Oh , I see ! St. Philip's !

484
[Link],500 --> [Link],374
Why, it's very good !
You've got the windows just right!
485
[Link],416 --> [Link],124
I wish

486
[Link],833 --> [Link],457
I could sleep

487
[Link],291 --> [Link],957
like normal people.

488
[Link],041 --> [Link],749
Mr. Treves,

489
[Link],791 --> [Link],915
there's something
l've been meaning to ask you

490
[Link],458 --> [Link],457
for some time now.
- What's that?

491
[Link],958 --> [Link],332
Can you cure me?

492
[Link],291 --> [Link],374
No.

493
[Link],875 --> [Link],415
No. We can care for you ,
but we can't cure you .

494
[Link],291 --> [Link],499
No.

495
[Link],083 --> [Link],499
I thought not.

496
[Link],708 --> [Link],290
Come in .

497
[Link],625 --> [Link],624
Good morning !

498
[Link],166 --> [Link],874
Good morning .
- Someone would like to meet you .
499
[Link],291 --> [Link],624
May I introduce you to one of the
bright lights of the English stage?

500
[Link],791 --> [Link],374
Mrs. Kendal, this is John Merrick.

501
[Link],791 --> [Link],540
Good day!
- Good day.

502
[Link],958 --> [Link],540
l've brought you some things.
I hope you like them .

503
[Link],958 --> [Link],499
I hope you don't think it too forward?
- Oh , no.

504
[Link],416 --> [Link],415
I knew you'd understand .
- l'll leave you together.

505
[Link],958 --> [Link],582
Here.

506
[Link],708 --> [Link],915
I want you to know I don't give
my pictures to just anyone.

507
[Link],291 --> [Link],749
No, I wouldn't think of it.

508
[Link],458 --> [Link],790
lt's beautiful. You're so . . .

509
[Link],708 --> [Link],707
l'll put it . . .

510
[Link],666 --> [Link],957
in a place of honour.

511
[Link],625 --> [Link],957
Next to my mother.
512
[Link],416 --> [Link],290
She's very pretty, your mother.
- Yes.

513
[Link],083 --> [Link],165
You're constructing a. . . church?

514
[Link],083 --> [Link],082
No. lt's a cathedral.

515
[Link],583 --> [Link],624
Do you see?

516
[Link],625 --> [Link],957
I have to rely on my imagination ,

517
[Link],416 --> [Link],457
for what I can't actually see.

518
[Link],750 --> [Link],582
Mr. Treves tells me
you're in the theatre.

519
[Link],958 --> [Link],749
Do you live there?
- Oh no, I just work there.

520
[Link],750 --> [Link],415
lt must be wonderful to work there.

521
[Link],125 --> [Link],957
ls it beautiful?
- You've never been?

522
[Link],916 --> [Link],707
l'm afraid not.

523
[Link],250 --> [Link],457
You must go ! The theatre is
the most beautiful place on earth !

524
[Link],625 --> [Link],624
Of course I am a bit partial.

525
[Link],041 --> [Link],374
The theatre is romance.

526
[Link],500 --> [Link],874
Romance?

527
[Link],625 --> [Link],707
Oh yes . . .

528
[Link],791 --> [Link],832
l've brought you something else !

529
[Link],750 --> [Link],957
Thank you .
- Have you read it?

530
[Link],416 --> [Link],832
No, but I certainly shall.

531
[Link],416 --> [Link],082
"Romeo and Juliet" !

532
[Link],500 --> [Link],957
Yes, l've heard of this.

533
[Link],625 --> [Link],457
"lf I profane with my unworthiest hand

534
[Link],583 --> [Link],165
this holy shrine,
the gentle fine is this:

535
[Link],291 --> [Link],665
Thy lips, two blushing pilgrims,

536
[Link],791 --> [Link],374
ready stand , to smooth that
rough touch with a tender kiss."

537
[Link],083 --> [Link],832
"Good Pilgrim ,
you do wrong your hand too much ,

538
[Link],958 --> [Link],415
which mannerly devotion show in this.

539
[Link],958 --> [Link],624
For saints have hands
that pilgrims' hands do touch .

540
[Link],791 --> [Link],957
And palm to palm's
holy Palmer's kiss."

541
[Link],833 --> [Link],040
"Oh then , dear Saint,
let lips do what hands do.

542
[Link],166 --> [Link],957
They pray, grant thou
lest faith turn to despair."

543
[Link],708 --> [Link],707
"Saints do not move,
though grant for prayer's sake."

544
[Link],916 --> [Link],207
"Then move not,
while my prayer's effect I take.

545
[Link],625 --> [Link],290
Thus from my lips,
by thine, my sin is purged ."

546
[Link],416 --> [Link],624
And then it says: they kiss.

547
[Link],000 --> [Link],415
"Then have my lips
the sin that they have took."

548
[Link],958 --> [Link],915
"Sin from my lips?

549
[Link],291 --> [Link],082
O trespass, sweetly urg'd .

550
[Link],500 --> [Link],165
Give me my sin again ."

551
[Link],291 --> [Link],749
You're not an Elephant Man at all.
552
[Link],416 --> [Link],374
No?

553
[Link],916 --> [Link],624
No. You're Romeo.

554
[Link],625 --> [Link],290
"Mrs. Kendal,
always at the forefront of fashion ,

555
[Link],416 --> [Link],415
was seen leaving
"The London" the other afternoon .

556
[Link],541 --> [Link],582
No, dear readers,
the actress has not been taken ill,

557
[Link],708 --> [Link],624
but said she was visiting a friend .
Who was the lucky recipient?

558
[Link],791 --> [Link],124
Enquiries proved it to be none other
than John Merrick, the Elephant Man ,

559
[Link],291 --> [Link],582
with whom our readers are familiar.

560
[Link],708 --> [Link],874
After a chat of 45 minutes, she left
him with an autographed portrait."

561
[Link],375 --> [Link],790
I saw it in his room .

562
[Link],625 --> [Link],165
"Owing to a disfigurement
of the most extreme nature,

563
[Link],291 --> [Link],457
Mr. Merrick has never been
presented to London society.

564
[Link],625 --> [Link],415
But knowing that wherever Mrs. Kendal
goes, other inevitably follow,

565
[Link],541 --> [Link],040
the question arises - will London
society present itself to him?"

566
[Link],583 --> [Link],624
This walking stick is so dashing !

567
[Link],750 --> [Link],957
And more elegant than my old one !

568
[Link],291 --> [Link],290
More tea?

569
[Link],000 --> [Link],624
I don't go out
as often as I would like,

570
[Link],791 --> [Link],457
because naturally people find
my appearance disturbing .

571
[Link],583 --> [Link],290
lf you have a chill
I could close the window.

572
[Link],458 --> [Link],457
No, l'm fine, please . . .

573
[Link],916 --> [Link],707
Thank you .

574
[Link],291 --> [Link],707
You see,

575
[Link],250 --> [Link],499
people are frightened
by what they don't understand .

576
[Link],291 --> [Link],832
And it is hard to understand ,
even for me because my mother

577
[Link],250 --> [Link],832
was so very beautiful !
578
[Link],958 --> [Link],082
No more visitors today.

579
[Link],208 --> [Link],582
l've got a lecture. Till this evening !
- Excuse me, sir,

580
[Link],708 --> [Link],040
I would like a word with you .
- What is it?

581
[Link],541 --> [Link],082
I don't quite understand

582
[Link],208 --> [Link],790
why you allow people in there.

583
[Link],625 --> [Link],790
He enjoys it and it's good for him .

584
[Link],958 --> [Link],249
But you saw the expression on their
faces, they didn't hide their disgust!

585
[Link],375 --> [Link],415
They don't care about John .
They want to impress their friends.

586
[Link],541 --> [Link],582
I think you're being rather harsh .
- I beg your pardon .

587
[Link],708 --> [Link],582
You hardly showed him much kindness
when he first arrived , did you?

588
[Link],708 --> [Link],499
I bathed him , I fed him
and I cleaned up after him !

589
[Link],625 --> [Link],207
And my nurses do the same.

590
[Link],541 --> [Link],540
lf "kindness" can be called care
591
[Link],666 --> [Link],999
then I did show him loving kindness !

592
[Link],125 --> [Link],290
I didn't mean it exactly that way.

593
[Link],416 --> [Link],624
I appreciate your concern
and everything you've done for him .

594
[Link],875 --> [Link],374
But I am the physician
and must do what's best for him .

595
[Link],333 --> [Link],915
Please now, l'm very late.
- lf you ask my opinion ,

596
[Link],041 --> [Link],832
he's only being stared at again !
- Thank you .

597
[Link],750 --> [Link],374
Night time !

598
[Link],791 --> [Link],082
Freddie !

599
[Link],125 --> [Link],207
What's the matter?

600
[Link],375 --> [Link],790
l've been thinking about Mr. Bytes.
- Why on earth?

601
[Link],375 --> [Link],749
I believe Mr. Bytes and l
are very much alike.

602
[Link],083 --> [Link],374
That's absurd !

603
[Link],375 --> [Link],540
lt seems l've made Mr. Merrick
into a curiosity again ,
604
[Link],625 --> [Link],915
only this time in a hospital
rather than a carnival.

605
[Link],583 --> [Link],707
My name is constantly in the
newspapers and l'm always being

606
[Link],833 --> [Link],874
praised to the skies. Patients
ask expressly for my services.

607
[Link],291 --> [Link],707
Because you are a fine doctor.

608
[Link],208 --> [Link],499
John Merrick is happier and more
fulfilled then ever

609
[Link],625 --> [Link],249
and it's completely due to you .

610
[Link],625 --> [Link],290
What was it all for? Why did I do it?

611
[Link],000 --> [Link],290
What are you trying to say?

612
[Link],375 --> [Link],624
Am I a good man

613
[Link],541 --> [Link],540
or am I a bad man?

614
[Link],375 --> [Link],207
Steady on , Treves. Steady on .

615
[Link],875 --> [Link],082
Please sit down , won't you?

616
[Link],583 --> [Link],540
We usually open the proceedings
by reading the minutes.

617
[Link],958 --> [Link],582
In the interests of urgency
I think we should conclude the matter

618
[Link],708 --> [Link],124
under discussion , the case of
John Merrick, the Elephant Man .

619
[Link],416 --> [Link],332
One moment, Mr. Chairman !

620
[Link],750 --> [Link],707
As far as l'm concerned , this
creature has no business here.

621
[Link],958 --> [Link],957
I for one am sick and tired
of this freak-hunting

622
[Link],083 --> [Link],957
by ambitious young doctors,
trying to make name's for themselves.

623
[Link],125 --> [Link],749
To parade them about
in front of the society is one thing ,

624
[Link],000 --> [Link],124
but to waste the committee's time
with requests for shelter

625
[Link],291 --> [Link],540
for these abominations of nature
is quite another.

626
[Link],500 --> [Link],207
You must be more careful !

627
[Link],875 --> [Link],874
In the light
of these facts, our course is clear:

628
[Link],416 --> [Link],790
The question is not whether to
accept this creature as a patient, but

629
[Link],916 --> [Link],249
when will the rooms be vacated
for the use of more deserving cases?

630
[Link],125 --> [Link],874
I move that this Elephant Man be
removed from the premises immediately.

631
[Link],583 --> [Link],665
We have
a sacred duty to cure the sick

632
[Link],791 --> [Link],124
not to care for circus animals !
That is my last word on the subject.

633
[Link],250 --> [Link],790
Shall we vote?
- You are unshakeable in this?

634
[Link],083 --> [Link],957
Mr. Chairman , do you not have ears?

635
[Link],125 --> [Link],540
I am unalterably opposed !

636
[Link],458 --> [Link],290
My mind is made up.

637
[Link],208 --> [Link],707
You shall not sway me.
May we now vote,

638
[Link],208 --> [Link],749
at long last?

639
[Link],333 --> [Link],665
Yes, Broadneck.

640
[Link],291 --> [Link],874
I think the time has come.

641
[Link],875 --> [Link],040
Gentlemen , Her Royal Highness

642
[Link],625 --> [Link],290
Alexandra, Princess of Wales.
643
[Link],250 --> [Link],124
Good morning .
I hope l'm not disturbing you .

644
[Link],250 --> [Link],457
Your presence here
is always greatly appreciated .

645
[Link],958 --> [Link],290
We were just taking a vote
on Mr. Merrick.

646
[Link],125 --> [Link],874
Her Royal Highness has shown
great interest in Mr. Merrick's fate.

647
[Link],000 --> [Link],082
I have, sir, as has the Queen .

648
[Link],833 --> [Link],290
I have a communication from the
Queen , which I should read to you .

649
[Link],958 --> [Link],957
"To the Governing Committee,
London Hospital.

650
[Link],875 --> [Link],749
I would like to commend you

651
[Link],875 --> [Link],915
for the charitable face
you have shown Mr. John Merrick.

652
[Link],291 --> [Link],332
lt is laudable that you have
provided one of England's

653
[Link],458 --> [Link],749
unfortunate sons with a safe
and tranquil harbour, a home.

654
[Link],291 --> [Link],124
For this immeasurable kindness,
as well as the many acts of mercy
655
[Link],291 --> [Link],624
on behalf of the poor,
of which Mr. Carr-Gomm

656
[Link],208 --> [Link],290
has kept me informed ,

657
[Link],791 --> [Link],957
I gratefully thank you .
Signed , Victoria."

658
[Link],125 --> [Link],457
I am sure I can count on you
gentlemen to do the Christian thing .

659
[Link],583 --> [Link],749
Thank you very much .
l'm sure we shall all try.

660
[Link],500 --> [Link],582
I move that Mr. John Merrick
be admitted on a permanent basis

661
[Link],166 --> [Link],624
provided the hospital receives
a yearly sum for the cost of one bed .

662
[Link],375 --> [Link],582
All those in favour?

663
[Link],291 --> [Link],582
Thank you , gentlemen .
The motion is carried .

664
[Link],166 --> [Link],165
Yes, come in !

665
[Link],375 --> [Link],207
Good afternoon . Mr. Carr-Gomm
has something he wants to say to you .

666
[Link],333 --> [Link],790
Mr. Merrick, I am very pleased

667
[Link],958 --> [Link],415
in being able to welcome you
officially to the London Hospital.

668
[Link],541 --> [Link],624
The Governing Committee has
unanimously voted that you should be

669
[Link],750 --> [Link],707
provided with these rooms on a
permanent basis. This is your home.

670
[Link],833 --> [Link],457
l'm so very, very glad for you .
- Welcome home, lad !

671
[Link],833 --> [Link],040
This is . . .

672
[Link],250 --> [Link],624
my home?
- Yes.

673
[Link],583 --> [Link],832
Please will you thank
the committee for me?

674
[Link],291 --> [Link],957
I will do my utmost
to merit their kindness.

675
[Link],625 --> [Link],957
This . . . is my home?

676
[Link],458 --> [Link],915
Yes. And this is for you .

677
[Link],416 --> [Link],624
Your dressing case !

678
[Link],958 --> [Link],707
Oh , thank you !

679
[Link],583 --> [Link],790
Thank you !

680
[Link],583 --> [Link],957
Oh my friends, thank you !
681
[Link],583 --> [Link],082
Thank you !

682
[Link],125 --> [Link],540
My friends !

683
[Link],625 --> [Link],457
Oh my friends !

684
[Link],416 --> [Link],290
Thank you !

685
[Link],541 --> [Link],207
Who's next?
- I say!

686
[Link],625 --> [Link],624
What you again?
- Well . . .

687
[Link],375 --> [Link],082
These young ladies have never seen it.

688
[Link],708 --> [Link],124
You're on , mate !

689
[Link],458 --> [Link],915
That's it for this performance !

690
[Link],333 --> [Link],707
Jim , can I go?
- Sit down , Charlie !

691
[Link],583 --> [Link],207
There's always tomorrow, don't worry.

692
[Link],750 --> [Link],999
Room for one more?

693
[Link],458 --> [Link],832
At the right price.

694
[Link],541 --> [Link],624
There's room .
695
[Link],625 --> [Link],457
Keep the noise down !

696
[Link],583 --> [Link],082
We don't want to frighten him !

697
[Link],208 --> [Link],624
My name is John Merrick.

698
[Link],208 --> [Link],290
l'm very, very pleased to meet you .

699
[Link],458 --> [Link],832
I think

700
[Link],625 --> [Link],624
you are very beautiful !

701
[Link],458 --> [Link],707
Curtain time !

702
[Link],166 --> [Link],915
You look beautiful, darling !
I wouldn't change a thing !

703
[Link],791 --> [Link],790
You look like the Prince of Wales !

704
[Link],083 --> [Link],374
Here, my friends !

705
[Link],875 --> [Link],124
The Elephant Man !

706
[Link],541 --> [Link],457
I told you it was horrible,
just horrible.

707
[Link],833 --> [Link],790
Perhaps the ladies
would like a closer look?

708
[Link],166 --> [Link],540
Yes, yes !
- No, Jack, please !

709
[Link],958 --> [Link],582
Right, in you go !

710
[Link],291 --> [Link],707
He's quite a ladies' man !

711
[Link],375 --> [Link],249
Give the ladies' man a little kiss !

712
[Link],041 --> [Link],124
Go on , give him a kiss !

713
[Link],291 --> [Link],040
Jack, leave off!

714
[Link],625 --> [Link],707
That's enough romance !
Time for beddy-byes !

715
[Link],500 --> [Link],957
Keep the noise down !

716
[Link],875 --> [Link],957
Keep it quiet! Now watch this !

717
[Link],333 --> [Link],415
Okay, that's enough !

718
[Link],166 --> [Link],457
Show's over!
See you back at the Peacock!

719
[Link],083 --> [Link],499
Get out of it!

720
[Link],250 --> [Link],582
Here, come on .

721
[Link],291 --> [Link],249
There you are. That's better.

722
[Link],875 --> [Link],957
l've done well tonight.
723
[Link],791 --> [Link],915
Here, buy yourself a sweet!

724
[Link],500 --> [Link],874
My treasure !

725
[Link],208 --> [Link],624
John?

726
[Link],000 --> [Link],124
John !

727
[Link],750 --> [Link],457
Mr. Treves,
I know what happened last night.

728
[Link],250 --> [Link],749
Oh , God !

729
[Link],416 --> [Link],915
Where is he?

730
[Link],250 --> [Link],540
Where is Mr. Merrick?

731
[Link],750 --> [Link],540
I don't know what you mean .
- Don't lie to me !

732
[Link],250 --> [Link],124
I know all about it, you were seen .

733
[Link],291 --> [Link],082
You're involved with Bytes,
aren't you? Where is he?

734
[Link],208 --> [Link],749
Wait a minute ! I haven't taken him
anywhere. I dunno no Bytes.

735
[Link],166 --> [Link],915
We were just having a bit of fun .
We never hurt him .

736
[Link],250 --> [Link],040
You tortured him ! He's gone !

737
[Link],166 --> [Link],457
When I left him he was in bed !

738
[Link],875 --> [Link],540
You're not listening to me !

739
[Link],041 --> [Link],207

People pay money to see your monster!

740
[Link],500 --> [Link],374
You're the monster, the freak.

741
[Link],625 --> [Link],124
Get out!

Only Mothershead can sack me now!

744
[Link],000 --> [Link],582
Done !

745
[Link],041 --> [Link],290
There's something l'd like to say.

746
[Link],500 --> [Link],124
You know I felt
as deeply as you did about John .

747
[Link],250 --> [Link],415
Well now he's disappeared ,
very likely to the continent.

748
[Link],541 --> [Link],665
You can't go after him ,
you're needed here by your patients.
749
[Link],791 --> [Link],707
You did everything in your power.

750
[Link],833 --> [Link],624
Everything in your power.

751

That sly bastard !

756
[Link],166 --> [Link],415
He's doing this to spite me !

757
[Link],375 --> [Link],749
You're doing this to spite me
and it's got to stop !

758
[Link],875 --> [Link],124
Bytes, he's sick!

Splendid . . . Shall we go?

791
[Link],000 --> [Link],290
I can't tell you
how sorry I am for what happened .

792
[Link],666 --> [Link],790
You see, I had no idea.

793
[Link],208 --> [Link],749
You mustn't blame yourself.

794
[Link],333 --> [Link],874
Mr. Treves, don't worry about me.
