Attorney Barry:
[addresses the judge and court with her own opening remarks]
We all know the story of the Elephant Man. At best, he was a curiosity who engendered sympathy in a compassionate few. At worst, he was an object of scorn who was put on display and who was cruelly ridiculed by the public. And the Elephant Man was a human being. He, he could speak; he wore clothes; he had the power of cognition. This creature is not a human being, not even remotely. Not by any stretch of the imagination. For heaven's sake, just look at him, your Honor!

Attorney Barry:
This is an alien creature, first and foremost.
