1:37:01
This is purely a case
of manic depression.
1:37:04
A case of this kind,
patients sometimes go on for years...
1:37:08
before being detected.
1:37:10
You remember, Dr. Fosdick,
in my last book...
1:37:12
there were some very fine examples,
especially the young nobleman.
1:37:16
- You remember?
- Yes, Dr. Von Hallor. Very interesting.
1:37:20
It reminds me very much of this one.
1:37:24
It takes so long to detect them...
1:37:26
because their mood
changes so often and so quickly.
1:37:30
Now, Your Honor, may l show you?
May I use the chart?
1:37:34
By all means.
1:37:41
Below here,
they are extremely depressed...
1:37:45
melancholy, impossible to live with
and often become violent.
1:37:51
From this mood...
1:37:53
the manic depressive
might gradually change...
1:37:57
until they reach this state.
1:38:01
Here is lucidity. Here they are
normal, as normal as you or I.
1:38:06
Assuming, of course,
that we are normal.
1:38:10
Then the mood changes again...
1:38:13
until they reach this state...
1:38:16
a state of highest exultation.
1:38:18
Here, everything is fine.
Here, the world is beautiful.
1:38:22
Here, they are so elated--
How to express it?
1:38:25
They would give you
the shirts off their backs.
1:38:29
How would you say
that applied to Mr. Deeds' case?
1:38:32
The symptoms are obvious.
1:38:35
When he was here,
on top of the wave...
1:38:38
he felt nothing but kindliness
and warmth for his fellow man.
1:38:42
He wanted to have them around him,
so he decided to give a big reception.
1:38:47
But in the meantime,
his mood has changed.
1:38:50
He's now at the bottom of the wave:
depressed, melancholy.
1:38:54
So when his guests arrive,
he throws them out.
1:38:57
They are now
his imaginary enemies.
