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.

1:39:00
Other instances
of high elations are...

1:39:03
when he plays his tuba,
when he writes his poetry...

1:39:08
when he chases fire engines
in a desire to help humanity.

1:39:13
This is contrasted
with his present mood...

1:39:16
which is so low that even the instinct
for self-preservation is lacking.

1:39:24
Your Honor, this is decidedly
a case of manic depression.

1:39:28
Thank you very much, Doctor.
1:39:34
Your Honor, we rest.
1:39:42
What are you going to do,
let them get away with it?

1:39:44
They've got you cooked.
1:39:54
He's sunk.
