1:36:13
- You both concur?
- Absolutely.
1:36:29
All right.
1:36:31
Mr Deeds...
1:36:35
In view of the extensive testimony,
your continued silence,
1:36:37
and on the recommendation
of the doctors,
1:36:42
the court considers it advisable,
for your own safety,
1:36:45
that you be committed to an institution
as prescribed by law.
1:36:49
You need medical attention, Mr Deeds.
1:36:57
Perhaps in a little while...
1:36:59
No! Wait a minute. You can't do it.
You've got to make him talk.
1:37:01
- I object!
- Please. I know how horrible I've been.
1:37:07
No matter what happens, do this for me.
1:37:11
- Please.
- You said I could speak.
1:37:14
You said I could have my say.
Please let me take the witness chair.
1:37:15
He must be made to defend himself
before you decide.
1:37:19
- Take the stand.
- Thank you.
1:37:22
- She has no bearing on the case.
- Let her speak.
1:37:24
I know why he won't defend himself.
He's been hurt.
1:37:27
He's been hurt by everybody,
principally by me.
1:37:31
He's been the victim
of every crook in town.
1:37:35
The newspapers made him a target
for their feeble humour.
1:37:37
I was smarter than the rest.
I got closer so I could laugh louder.
1:37:40
Why shouldn't he keep quiet?
1:37:44
Every time he said anything,
it was twisted around.
1:37:46
He can thank me for it.
I handed them a laugh.
1:37:49
A fitting climax
to my sense of humour.
1:37:52
- This is preposterous.
- I wrote those articles.
1:37:54
I was going to get a raise,
a month's vacation.
1:37:57
But I stopped writing them when
I found out what he was all about.
1:37:59
He could never fit in
with our distorted viewpoint,
