:11:00
that the patient
might be suffering...
:11:03
not from
a physiological disorder...
:11:05
but from a psychological one.
:11:07
It is Zelig's unstable makeup,
she suggests...
:11:11
that accounts
for his metamorphoses.
:11:13
The governing board of doctors
is hostile to her notion.
:11:18
They conclude
that Zelig's malady...
:11:20
can be traced to poor alignment
of the vertebrae.
:11:23
Tests prove them wrong...
:11:26
and cause a temporary problem
for the patient.
:11:31
Now the press and public
hang on every bit of news...
:11:35
thoroughly absorbed
in the real-life drama.
:11:38
The continuing saga
at Manhattan Hospital goes on.
:11:42
This morning, doctors report,
experiments were conducted.
:11:45
Several women were placed
in proximity to the subject...
:11:49
but no change occurred...
:11:51
Ieading authorities
to conclude...
:11:53
that the phenomenon
does not occur with women.
:11:54
Doctors will experiment
with a midget and a chicken.
:12:05
Leonard Zelig continues
to astound scientists...
:12:08
at New York's
Manhattan Hospital...
:12:11
where numerous tests
have led nowhere...
:12:13
in determining the nature of
this astonishing manifestation.
:12:16
He is confronted
by two overweight men...
:12:19
at the request of the doctors.
:12:22
As the men
discuss their obesity...
:12:24
an initially reticent Zelig
joins in...
:12:27
swelling himself
to a miraculous 250 pounds.
:12:30
Next, in the presence
of two Negro men...
:12:33
Zelig rapidly
becomes one himself.
:12:36
What will they think of next?
:12:39
Meanwhile, Americans all over
have their own reactions.
:12:44
I wish I could be Lenny Zelig,
the changing man.
:12:48
I'd be different people.
:12:50
Someday my wishes
will come true.
:12:52
Leonard Zelig is
one of the finest gentlemen...
:12:56
in the United States of America.
:12:59
He is the cat's pajamas.
