Iadies and gentlemen
of the jury,
1:26:02
we have heard a lot of
witnesses condemn my client.
1:26:04
We have heard some
incredibly bizarre testimony...
1:26:07
and we have seen some
damaging physical evidence...
1:26:11
but my client is innocent...
1:26:13
innocent by
reason of insanity.
1:26:15
Listen to her testimony.
1:26:17
Listen to the whisperings
of a madwoman...
1:26:19
and decide for yourselves...
1:26:21
if she is not insane, who is?
1:26:24
I do not ask you
to forgive her.
1:26:26
I do not ask you
to set her free.
1:26:28
I ask you to have
the courage to help her.
1:26:31
Find her insane...
1:26:32
so that she can be put away
in a mental hospital...
1:26:35
for the rest
of her natural life.
1:26:38
Dawn, how did you
become acquainted...
1:26:40
with Donald and Donna Dasher?
1:26:42
I went to their beauty parlor...
1:26:44
and they discovered me.
1:26:46
I was so beautiful.
1:26:48
I still am the top model
in the country.
1:26:55
I don't want my trial
to be held here.
1:26:58
I want it to be downtown...
1:26:59
in a large, large
theater where I belong.
1:27:01
You're a terrible
press agent.
1:27:04
They won't even
let cameras in here.
1:27:06
I'm your attorney, Dawn,
not your press agent.
1:27:09
Well, get me some
of my loungewear, then.
1:27:11
I can't be
on Walter Cronkite...
1:27:12
Iooking like this.
1:27:14
Did you kidnap lda Nelson?
1:27:17
No. The Dashers did it,
but they lied.
1:27:20
They're just jealous of me...
1:27:21
because I'm more famous
than they are.
1:27:23
The Dashers are liars!
1:27:25
Well, then, did you
strangle your daughter?
1:27:28
Yes, I did,
and I'm proud of it.
1:27:31
If only the Dashers...
1:27:32
hadn't destroyed
the photographs.
1:27:34
They were art.
1:27:35
You believe the death
of your daughter was art?
1:27:38
Of course!
1:27:40
Can't you stupid people see?
1:27:42
I'm a huge star.
1:27:44
Just pick up the papers,
and you'll see...
1:27:45
my picture on the front page.
1:27:47
I'm only charged
in this matter...
1:27:49
because I'm so photogenic.
1:27:51
Why, I should be
on television...
1:27:53
right this minute!
1:27:54
What about
your nightclub act, Dawn?
1:27:56
Ooh, it was
a spectacular success,
1:27:59
a wild,
fast-moving stage show...
