:09:01
And then, suddenly,
increasingly strange behavior.
:09:08
Fascinated
by the Zelig phenomenon...
:09:11
Dr. Fletcher arranges
a series of experiments...
:09:14
and invites the skeptical staff
to observe.
:09:18
With the doctors watching, Zelig
becomes a perfect psychiatrist.
:09:23
When two Frenchmen
are brought in...
:09:27
Zelig assumes their characters
and speaks reasonable French.
:09:31
In the company
of a Chinese person...
:09:34
he begins to develop
Oriental features.
:09:37
By now, word has gotten out
to the press...
:09:41
and the public, thirsting

:10:19
and although there's

:10:21
further tests will show
a problem in the secretions.
:10:25
It's something he picked up
from eating Mexican food.
:10:28
This manifestation
is neurological in origin.
:10:31
This patient is suffering
from a brain tumor...
:10:34
and I should not be surprised
if within several weeks he died.
:10:39
We have not been able
to locate the tumor...
:10:43
but we're still looking.
:10:45
Ironically,
within two weeks' time...
:10:48
it is Dr. Birsky himself
who dies of a brain tumor.
:10:52
Leonard Zelig is fine.
:10:55
Throughout the weeks

:10:58
Eudora Fletcher
begins to feel...
