John Merrick is happier and more
fulfilled then ever
1:14:06
and it's completely due to you.
1:14:09
What was it all for? Why did I do it?
1:14:14
What are you trying to say?
1:14:20
Am I a good man
1:14:23
or am I a bad man?
1:14:29
Steady on, Treves. Steady on.
1:14:33
Please sit down, won't you?
1:14:40
We usually open the proceedings
by reading the minutes.
1:14:46
In the interests of urgency
I think we should conclude the matter
1:14:50
under discussion, the case of
John Merrick, the Elephant Man.
1:14:55
One moment, Mr. Chairman!
1:14:58
As far as I'm concerned, this
creature has no business here.
1:15:03
I for one am sick and tired
of this freak-hunting
1:15:08
by ambitious young doctors,
trying to make name's for themselves.
1:15:13
To parade them about
in front of the society is one thing,
1:15:16
but to waste the committee's time
with requests for shelter
1:15:20
for these abominations of nature
is quite another.
1:15:28
You must be more careful!
1:15:31
In the light
of these facts, our course is clear:
1:15:34
The question is not whether to
accept this creature as a patient, but
1:15:38
when will the rooms be vacated
for the use of more deserving cases?
1:15:44
I move that this Elephant Man be
removed from the premises immediately.
1:15:48
We have
a sacred duty to cure the sick
1:15:52
not to care for circus animals!
That is my last word on the subject.
1:15:57
Shall we vote?
- You are unshakeable in this?
