Adam Resurrected Page #2

Synopsis: "Adam Resurrected" follows the story of Adam Stein, a charismatic patient at a mental institution for Holocaust survivors in Israel, 1961. He reads minds and confounds his doctors, lead by Nathan Gross. Before the war, in Berlin, Adam was an entertainer--cabaret impresario, circus owner, magician, musician--loved by audiences and Nazis alike until he finds himself in a concentration camp, confronted by Commandant Klein. Adam survives the camp by becoming the Commandant's "dog", entertaining him while his wife and daughter are sent off to die. Years later we find him at the Institute. One day, Adam smells something, hears a sound. "Who brought a dog in here?" he asks Gross. Gross denies there is a dog but Adam finds him--a young boy raised in a basement on a chain. Adam and the boy see and recognize each other as dogs--and their journey begins. "Adam Resurrected" is the story of a man who once was a dog who meets a dog who once was a boy.

No, you're right.

And I'm sorry

from the bottom of my heart.

As long as you know.

Now let's just see what's going on

with your lovely personal affairs.

Oh, now, wait a minute.

Please.

Adam, stop.

It has not been your day,

has it, Doctor?

Some milk of magnesia.

That would solve the problem.

Constipation, it's a horrible thing,

but don't strain.

Cut it out.

You don't have to suffer that way.

If only you'd use your gift

a little more constructively.

Oh, I could if I wanted to.

But, you know, I- I do not.

No, I am going to be your miracle

that never was.

And we've heard all this before, Adam.

Go on and get some rest.

Go, already.

Get out of here.

Where the hell is all this coming from?

And no pulse.

Maybe in a hundred years,

we'll know how to help

the Adam Steins of this world.

Adam.

- Step back, Rachel.

- Adam.

Get away from him.

Rachel.

- Is it time, Adam?

- Step away from him.

Rachel.

Oh, thank God.

The birth pang of the Messiah.

I knew it.

They've begun.

Oy vey.

It's good to have you back, Adam.

Frau Fogel, the whisky

in the baby bottle, please.

My wife, Gretchen.

Little Ruthie.

Thank you, Frau Fogel.

Ah, malt whisky.

It's for the good night's sleep, yeah?

All right, please.

Oh.

Gretchen.

So sweet.

Blech.

Ah, she doesn't like it.

She doesn't like it.

The most expensive Stradivarius.

Here we go.

Ladies and gentlemen,

meine Damen und Herren

Adam Stein.

My wife, Gretchen.

Oh, so beautiful.

Oh, no, no, you cannot keep survival

off the stage.

Don't scare me like this.

My darling.

A volunteer.

Oh-ma-ha.

Yeah-ha.

Everybody loves this.

No, you volunteer too often.

This fellow, please, may we?

Bitte nicht.

Please, my eye fell on you

right away, please.

Such a good sport, give him a hand.

He's shy.

All right, now, have we ever met?

Do we know each other?

- Nein.

- Nein.

All right.

This young man,

ladies and gentlemen,

well, did not want to come

to Adam's circus tonight.

This man had other plans.

This very night he intended...

to take his own life.

No, my friend, no.

Please, do not go this way.

Let me just glean just a little.

Maybe there's some good news here.

Let me see.

We have here, folks,

a graduate of Heidelberg Universitaet.

Oh, though, obviously no-

no star pupil.

This is Zyklot 17,

the animal tranquilizer.

Yeah, for the permanent relief of pain.

Yeah.

Oh.

Oh.

Tell her to leave me alone.

I do not have the strength.

Do you hear what I'm asking you?

I would if I wanted to.

But I don't.

What the hell are you doing?

Shut up, darling, and move over.

You are insane.

I am calling the night nurse.

Right here at your service? Adam?

Ladies and gentlemen,
