the court wishes to warn those present that it will tolerate no disturbances.
i understand that you have no counsel, mr. deeds. in fact, that you have no intention of defending any of these charges. now, if you wish to change your mind, the hearing can be postponed.
proceed.
please answer the questions.
miss bennett please!
miss bennett, please!
miss bennett, if you have quite finished, i should like to inform you that one more utterance from you and i shall place you under arrest.
mr. deeds, have you anything to say in defense of these articles?
mr. deeds?
proceed.
now tell me, why does everyone think he's - uh - pixilated? does he do peculiar things?
by all means.
mr. deeds, in view of the extensive testimony and your continued silence and upon recommendation of the doctors, the court considers it advisable for your own safety that you be committed to an institution as prescribed by law. you need medical attention, mr. deeds.
very well. take the stand.
let her speak.
if you have anything to say, you will take the stand.
sit down!
sit down! there will be no further interruptions.
take the stand!
proceed.
a what?
doodlers?
mr. deeds, do you recall forcibly ejecting people from your home?
proceed.
not at all.
mr. deeds, you haven't yet touched upon a most important thing. this rather fantastic idea of yours to want to give away your entire fortune. it is, to say the least, most uncommon.
please, mr. cedar!
mr. cedar!
mr. cedar!
anything else, mr. deeds?
proceed.
before the court announces its decision, i want to warn all who are here that the police have orders to arrest anyone creating a disturbance.
but in the opinion of the court, you are not only sane, but you are the sanest man that ever walked into this courtroom. case dismissed!
