1:52:00
Who would you expect me to rescue?
Mr. Cedar, who wants a free ride?
1:52:05
Or those men out there
who are drowning?
1:52:07
Any ten-year-old child will give you
the answer to that. Thank you. Sit down.
1:52:14
Now, my plan was very simple.
1:52:16
l was gonna give each family 10 acres,
a horse, a cow and some seed...
1:52:19
and if they worked the farm
for three years, it's theirs.
1:52:22
Now, if that's crazy, maybe
l ought to be sent to an institution...
1:52:26
but I don't think it is,
and Mr. Cedar doesn't either.
1:52:29
Before the hearing, he offered to call
everything off if l made a settlement.
1:52:34
So you see, he wouldn't think
I was crazy if he got paid off.
1:52:37
It's a lie growing
in his warped imagination.
1:52:39
I never heard anything
so colossally stupid in my life.
1:52:42
It's an insult to our intelligence to
sit and listen to such childish ravings.
1:52:45
- You will permit Mr. Deeds to finish.
- But, Your Honor--
1:52:52
- Anything else, Mr. Deeds?
- No.
1:52:55
Yes. There is one more thing I'd like
to get off my chest before l finish.
1:52:59
- Proceed.
- Thank you, Your Honor.
1:53:06
Order! Order this man
back to his chair!
1:53:15
Order!
1:53:27
Remain seated and come to order.
The court is again in session.
1:53:36
Before the court
announces its decision...
1:53:38
l want to warn all who are here
that the police have orders...
1:53:41
to arrest
anyone creating a disturbance.
1:53:45
Mr. Deeds, there has been a great deal
of damaging testimony against you.
1:53:51
Your behavior,
to say the least, has been...
1:53:53
most strange.
1:53:55
But in the opinion of the court,
you are not only sane...
1:53:58
but you are the sanest man
that ever walked into this courtroom.
