:18:01
Wasn't wearing green.
:18:04
They made remarks.
:18:06
I turned lrish.
:18:08
You told them you were lrish?
:18:10
My hair turned red.
My nose turned up.
:18:14
Spoke about
the great potato famine...
:18:18
and the little people.
:18:21
We do not agree
with Dr. Fletcher's ideas.
:18:24
We believe those ideas
are pipe dreams.
:18:27
We believe that any change
in Zelig's condition...
:18:30
is going to be brought about...
:18:33
through certain
experimental drugs...
:18:34
which although risky,
have been known to work wonders.
:18:38
Zelig is treated
with the experimental drug...
:18:41
somadril hydrate.
:18:44
He undergoes
severe mood changes...
:18:46
and for several days
will not come off the wall.
:18:50
Then suddenly...
:18:52
as Dr. Fletcher is beginning
to make some progress...
:18:56
the question of Zelig's fate
takes a new twist...
:18:58
as his half sister Ruth
removes him from the hospital.
:19:02
"He can be better cared for
at home," she tells the doctors.
:19:06
He'll be looked after by her
and her lover Martin Geist--
:19:11
a businessman
and ex-carnival promoter.
:19:15
There is very little resistance
amongst the doctors...
:19:18
who are relieved to be rid
of the frustrating case.
:19:22
Only Dr. Fletcher cares
about Zelig as a human being.
:19:26
She insists he desperately needs
special care...
:19:29
but it is to no avail.
:19:31
No one was questioning
her legal right to Zelig.
:19:35
She was his half sister
and his guardian...
:19:38
but she had a strange
boyfriend called Geist.
:19:41
He'd been in jail
for real-estate fraud.
:19:45
He was selling
the same piece of property...
:19:48
to a lot of people.
:19:50
A Delaware Congressman
bought it twice.
:19:53
The crowds
that line the roads...
:19:55
to glimpse the human chameleon
tie up traffic for days.
:19:59
He's a sight to behold
for tourists and children.
