Before the court arrives at a decision,
isn't there anything you wish to say?
1:40:22
Come on. Don't be a sap.
1:40:38
- You both concur?
- Absolutely.
1:40:40
All right.
1:40:46
In view of the extensive testimony,
your continued silence...
1:40:51
and on the recommendation
of the doctors...
1:40:54
the court considers it advisable,
for your own safety...
1:40:58
that you be committed
to an institution...
1:41:00
as prescribed by law.
1:41:06
You need medical attention,
Mr. Deeds.
1:41:09
Perhaps in a little while--
1:41:14
Wait a minute. You can't do it.
You've got to make him talk.
1:41:17
- Your Honor, l object.
- Please. l know how horrible I've been.
1:41:21
No matter what happens-- if you
never see me again-- do this for me.
1:41:24
- Please.
- You said l could speak.
1:41:26
You said I could have my say
if l were rational. I'm rational.
1:41:29
Please let me
take the witness chair.
1:41:30
He must be made to defend himself
before you arrive at a decision.
1:41:33
- Take the stand.
- Thank you.
1:41:35
Your Honor, what she is saying
has no bearing on the case. l object.
1:41:37
- Let her speak.
- l know why he won't defend himself.
1:41:40
That has a bearing on the case,
hasn't it? He's been hurt.
1:41:43
He's been hurt by everybody he's met
since he came here, principality by me.
1:41:46
He's been the victim
of every conniving crook in town.
1:41:49
The newspapers pounced on him, made him
a target for their feeble humor.
1:41:52
l was smarter than the rest of them.
I got closer so l could laugh louder.
1:41:56
Why shouldn't he keep quiet?
Every time he said anything...
1:41:59
it was twisted around
to sound imbecilic.
