Everyone used to be
at my place--

:24:06
everyone who was someone--
:24:09
and occasionally
someone would bring Zelig in--

:24:14
Leonard in.
:24:16
Cole Porter
was fascinated by Leonard...

:24:20
and he once
wrote a line in a song...

:24:24
"You're the tops.
You're Leonard Zelig."

:24:29
But then he couldn't find
anything to rhyme with Zelig.

:24:40
I'm flying high
:24:43
'Cause I've got a feeling
I'm falling

:24:46
Falling for nobody else but you
:24:53
You caught my eye
:24:55
Now I got a feeling I'm falling
:24:58
Show me that ring,
and I'll jump right through

:25:03
I used to travel single, oh
:25:06
We chanced to mingle, oh
:25:10
Now I'm a-tingle over you
:25:14
Hey, Mr. Zelig, stand by
:25:18
'Cause I've got a feeling
I'm falling

:25:21
Falling for nobody else but you
:25:26
Wow!
:25:27
Though the shows and parties...
:25:30
keep Zelig's sister
and her lover rich and amused...

:25:33
Zelig's own existence
is a nonexistence.

:25:36
Devoid of personality...
:25:37
his human qualities long since
lost in the shuffle of life...

:25:42
he sits alone,
quietly staring into space...

:25:45
a cipher, a nonperson,
a performing freak.

:25:50
He who wanted only to fit in,
to belong...

:25:53
to go unseen by his enemies
and be loved...

:25:57
neither fits in nor belongs...
