freddie?
freddie?.  freddie, don't look so discouraged.
what do you mean?
but i thought you said that he was rather.  simple?
frederick, why are you so interested in this particular case?
perhaps you're just polishing a stone, endowing this elephant man with qualities he doesn't possess?
i'm sure i don't know, freddie.
well, these things take time.
i'm very pleased to meet you, mr. merrick.
mr. merrick, sugar?
one or two?
do you?
oh?
and here is one of frederick's mother.
and here are my mother and father.
i've always thought that myself.
oh.  why mr. merrick she's beautiful.
oh no, mr. merrick. no. no son as loving as you are could ever be a disappointment.
dinner will be served, shortly, dear.
more romances for john?
freddie! what's the matter? you've been like this all evening.
oh, freddie. what could that wretched vampire say to upset you?
oh that's absurd, frederick. no, no frederick, that's all wrong! john is happier and more fulfilled now than he has ever been in his entire life. and, that is completely due to you.
frederick, just what is it that you are saying?
oh frederick.
you're a good man. a very good man.
