Folks, I must ask you to remember
that this exhibit is being presented...
:02:07
solely in the interest
of education and science.
:02:09
Now, this creature...
There he is! The geek!
:02:13
He has puzzled the foremost scientists
of Europe and America.
:02:17
Is he the missing link?
Is he man or beast?
:02:20
Some have pronounced him man.
:02:23
But beneath that shaggy mane of hair,
lies the brain of a beast.
:02:26
Look.!
:02:29
lfhe should sink his teeth into my arm, nothing
on this round, green earth could save me.
:02:33
Now, folks, it's feeding time.
:02:39
Horrible.!
:02:46
He's on fire!
:02:49
Now, folks, you haven't seen anything yet.
Step in closer, please.
:02:53
The greatest demonstration of fire manipulation
the world has ever seen!
:02:57

:03:03
Hasn't got a skirt in it.
:03:06
- Geek guy fascinates me.

:03:09
That's why we got him in the show.
:03:12
How do you get to be a geek?
Is that the only one?
:03:15
- I mean, is a guy born that way?
- Let me tell you something, kid.
:03:18
When you've been around this carny longer,
you'll learn to quit asking questions.
:03:25
- Come on, Pete.
- He gonna be able to work?
:03:27
Pete's okay. I've got him sobered up.
:03:45
- What's the matter, Stan?
- Nothing.
:03:51
What's the boss
been razzing you about?
:03:54
I was just asking him about that guy
that does the geek business.
:03:58
- That's always a sore point in a carnival.
- Why?
