:04:00
The geek is one of our biggest draws...
:04:03
but a lot of performers
won't work a show that carries one.

:04:06
I can't understand how anybody
could get so low.

:04:09
It can happen.
:04:11
- I wanna thank you, Zeena.
- Me?

:04:13
- Uh-huh.
- What for?

:04:16
For being so nice to me,
helping me with my spiel and everything.

:04:19
- Well, I think you've got something, Stan.
- Honest?

:04:22
- You like this racket, don't you?
- Oh, lady, I was made for it.

:04:26
I had all kinds of jobs
before this one came along...

:04:30
but none of'em
were anything but jobs.

:04:32
But this gets me.
I like it. All of it.

:04:35
The crowds, the noise,
the idea of keeping on the move.

:04:39
You see those yokels out there,
it gives you sort of a superior feeling...

:04:43
as if you were in the know
and they were on the outside looking in.

:04:46
Kinda hard to explain,
but I like it.

:04:51
I like you too, Zeena.
:05:02
Hey, look! Hey, look! Hey, look!
Step right this way!

:05:05
Move in closer, ladies and gentlemen,
and let me introduce Zeena...

:05:09
the miracle woman of the ages.
:05:11
She sees, she knows, she tells you
all the innermost secrets of your past...

:05:15
your present and your future.
:05:17
- Mademoiselle Zeena!
- Step right up, folks, and don't be bashful.

:05:20
If any of you wants
to ask me a personal question...

:05:23
Mr. Stanton will now pass among you
with little cards and envelopes.

:05:27
- Lend me your hand there.
- Write your question on the card!

:05:30
- I need a pencil.
- Pass those out. There we are, ladies.

:05:33
Don't crowd.
There's plenty here for everyone.

:05:37
Careful not to let anyone else see what you write,
because that's your business.

:05:40
- I don't want anybody asking me about anyone else's business.
- One for you, young lady.

:05:45
When you have written your questions,
sign your initials or write your name...

:05:48
as a token of good faith.
:05:50
Write what's in your heart,
and when you write about it, think about it.

:05:54
Madam? Yes, madam. Your questions
will be held in strictest confidence.

:05:58
No one will know but yourself
and Mademoiselle Zeena.
