& The Narrator: Who was this Leonard Zelig that seemed to create... such diverse impressions everywhere?
& The Narrator: As a boy, Leonard is frequently bullied by anti-Semites. His parents, who never take his part... and blame him for everything, side with the anti-Semites. They punish him often by locking him in a dark closet. When they are really angry... they get into the closet with him.
& The Narrator: On his deathbed, Morris Zelig tells his son... that life is a meaningless nightmare of suffering... and the only advice he gives him is to save string.
& The Narrator: Not everyone, however... was entranced by the human chameleon... and amongst the fanatics... he was a handy symbol of iniquity.
— This creature personifies Capitalist man. A creature who takes many forms to achieve ends... the exploitation of the workers by deception!
The Narrator: To the Ku Klux Klan, Zelig... a Jew who was able to transform himself... into a Negro or Indian, was a triple threat.
& The Narrator: Zelig’s own existence is a nonexistence. Devoid of personality... his human qualities long since lost in the shuffle of life... he sits alone, quietly staring into space... a cipher, a nonperson, a performing freak. He who wanted only to fit in, to belong... to go unseen by his enemies and be loved... neither fits in nor belongs... is supervised by enemies, and remains uncared for.
& Dr. Flethcer: Just relax.
Zelig: I can’t. I’m due back in town. I have this masturbation class. If I’m not there, they start without me.
& The Narrator: Zelig has sold his life story to Hollywood... for a large sum of money. When the scandal breaks... the studio demands its money back. Zelig can only return half. The rest has been spent. Outraged, the studio gives him half his life back. They keep the best moments.
& Zelig: My deepest apology goes to the Trokman family in Detroit. I never delivered a baby before in my life... and I just thought that ice tongs was the way to do it.
& Vilification Woman: Leonard Zelig sets a bad moral influence. America is a moral country. It’s a God-fearing country. We don’t condone scandals... scandals of fraud and polygamy. In keeping with a pure society, I’d say, lynch the little Hebe.
& The Narrator: Amongst the brown shirts... she spots a figure who could be Zelig.
Ted Bierbauer: Then it made all the sense in the world... because although he wanted to be loved... craved to be loved... there was also something in him... that desired immersion in the mass and anonymity. And Fascism offered Zelig that kind of opportunity... so that he could make something anonymous of himself... by belonging to this vast movement.
