FADE IN:
ABSTRACT DREAM
CLOSEUP of a gold framed miniature portrait of JOHN MERRICKS MOTHER (tune or melody over her picture, heartbeat), which DISSOLVES TO CLOSEUP of real Mother smiling - a shadow comes over her face - CLOSEUP of elephant ears, trunks, faces moving.
Dark, heavy feet stomping - elephant trumpet - rearing up.
Powerful hit and the Mother falls - darker - trunk slides over Mothers face and breasts and stomach, leaving a moist trail.
MOTHERS POV
Of elephants mouth, eyes, skin - Mothers face twists and freezes in a blurred snap roll.
BLACK again - knock, knock sound - curtain opens to horrified faces.
CUT TO:
BLACK AND SILENCE
CIRCUS
FADE IN TO steam shooting out of a huge old half-rusted calliope. The music is very loud and raucous. Moving up and back we see the black awning entrance to the freak tent, where FREDERICK TREVES, Resident Surgeon and Lecturer on anatomy at the London Hospital, is standing with his back to us observing the posters of the freaks.
