FAT LADY:
(pausing at the screams)
Children save yourselves! Prevail
upon your Pappa!
The two Dwarves get down from her knees and approach the
Skeleton Man. They kneel and tug at his thin legs.
DWARVES:
Poppa! Poppa! Poppa, please!
At this point, a FATHER holding his YOUNG SON in his arms
passes by Treves.
The Young Boy clutches his Father's neck in fear, hiding his
face.
FATHER:
(out loud, to no one
in particular)
This is too much! They should not
allow it! They should not allow it!
Treves, very curious now, along with several others, make
their way around the corner.
Before him, Treves sees an agitated crowd staring at something
that from his point of view he cannot see. Brushing past him
is a WOMAN pulling a small, confused and frightened LITTLE
GIRL. Getting closer to the commotion, he sees four BOBBIES
standing with a well-dressed alderman, arguing with the OWNER
of this particular exhibit.
A distraught, almost hysterical WOMAN is ineffectually
striking the Owner with her fists about his head and
shoulders, crying weakly and incoherently.
WOMAN:
Beast, Beast...
Treves is just about to see whatever it is that is causing
the alarm, when one of the Bobbies says:
BOBBY:
No! That's right out! Drop the
curtain!
As the curtain drops, Treves just glimpses baggy trouser
cuffs and two horribly deformed, root-like feet. The
distraught Woman has been pulled away from the Owner and is
sobbing on a Bobby's shoulder.
OWNER:
You can't do that! I've got my rights!
ALDERMAN:
I have the authority to close you
down, and I'm doing just that!
In the crowd, Treves notices a YOUNG BOY staring open-mouthed,
blankly at the curtain. Treves pushes through the glut of
people to join the Boy and get a better view. The curtain is
actually a large canvas.
