1:47:01
All you fellows up there, all those
who applied for a farm, stand up.
1:47:04
See them? They're the ones
I'm trying to help.
1:47:11
Mr Cedar and Mr Semple don't
need anything. They've got plenty.
1:47:13
It's like I see one fellow
in a rowboat who's tired of rowing
1:47:17
and wants a free ride
and another who's drowning.
1:47:21
Who would you expect me to rescue?
Mr Cedar, who wants a free ride?
1:47:23
Or those men who are drowning?
1:47:28
Any 10-year-old child will give you
the answer to that. Thank you. Sit down.
1:47:30
Now, my plan was very simple.
1:47:36
Give each family 10 acres,
a horse, a cow and some seed,
1:47:39
and if they worked the farm
for three years, it's theirs.
1:47:42
If that's crazy, I ought to be sent
to an institution,
1:47:45
but I don't think it is,
and Mr Cedar doesn't either.
1:47:48
Before the hearing, he offered to call
everything off if I made a settlement.
1:47:51
He wouldn't think I was crazy
if he got paid off.
1:47:56
It's a lie growing
in his warped imagination.
1:47:58
I never heard anything
so stupid in my life.
1:48:01
It's an insult to our intelligence
to listen to such ravings.
1:48:03
- You will permit Mr Deeds to finish.
- But, Your Honour...
1:48:07
- Anything else, Mr Deeds?
- No.
1:48:13
Yes. There is one more thing
I'd like to get off my chest.
1:48:16
- Proceed.
- Thank you, Your Honour.
1:48:20
Order! Order this man
back to his chair!
1:48:27
Order!
1:48:36
Remain seated and come to order.
The court is again in session.
1:48:47
Before the court announces its decision,
I want to warn all who are here
1:48:55
that the police have orders to arrest
anyone creating a disturbance.
1:48:59
Mr Deeds, there has been a great deal
of damaging testimony against you.
