:20:07
Thank you. Good afternoon.
:20:11
Mr. Thomas, Mr. Rogers!
:20:18
Pull the curtains aside!
:20:28
He's English. He is 21 years of age.
:20:33
His name is John Merrick.
:20:37
In the course
of my profession I have come upon
:20:40
many deformities of the face
due to injury or disease
:20:44
as well as mutilations and contortions
of the body from like causes.
:20:49
I have never seen such a perverted,
degraded version of a human being.
:20:54
I wish to draw your attention to
his insidious conditions.
:20:57
Can you see over there?
:21:00
Note, if you will,
the extreme enlargement of the skull
:21:04
and the limb, which is useless,
:21:07
the alarming curvature of the spine.
Would you turn round, please?
:21:10
Turn round, please!
:21:15
The looseness of the skin
:21:17
and the fibrous tumours
that cover 90% of the body.
:21:22
There is every indication that these
afflictions have existed and have
:21:26
progressed rapidly since birth.
:21:29
He suffers from chronic bronchitis.
:21:32
Interesting side note:
Despite these anomalies
:21:36
the patient's genitals
remain entirely intact and unaffected.
:21:41
Thank you.
:21:45
And his left arm
is perfectly normal, as you see.
:21:50
So gentlemen,
:21:52
owing to the
congenital extostoses of the skull,
:21:55
extensive papillomatous growths,
pendulous masses of skin,
:21:59
the enlargement of
the right limb and all the bones,
