- What man?
- He said he was Abraham Lincoln.
- That must be the same man!
- He took them out to the garden.
But Robert, why didn't you stop him?
But ma'am, I don't know
he wasn't Abraham Lincoln.
Oh, Robert!
Hurry, hurry. Please, get them out.
Stop that, Steve Ireland. How dare you!
- Really, if this is your idea of a joke!
- But they were prisoners.
- I had to set them free.
- You're drunk. Henry!
I never drink while emancipating!
They're free! Free!
Man, man, he's high as a kite!
I suppose you did this
to show off for Susan.
Well, you've made a fool
of yourself for nothing
because she's gone home
with that nice Ward Willoughby.
- I hear voices.
- Voices!
Oh, stop that folderol, Stephen.
You haven't a chance to get Susan back.
What a disgrace!
- Yes, I do hear voices.
- What are they telling you?
They are telling me...
Telling me to free her, too!
I can't understand
Why, it's positively disgraceful.
Save me!
I crown you king of the hat freers.
Where is he? Where is he?
How long will it take to get those back?
Oh, I'll have these dry in 20 minutes, sir.
That's fine.
Bring me a big highball, will you?
Are you sure you want
another one, Mr. Lincoln?
See that? He thinks I'm drunk.
That's what they all think.
- They don't believe I'm crazy.
- It's about 50-50.
No. There's only one guy I think I've sold.
- Who's that?
- Oh, I don't know.
Some old goat
I met out there in the garden.
- He looks like General Electric Whiskers.
- Well, keep working.
I'll go down and start spreading
some subtle propaganda.
You've got 20 minutes
to think up a really good topper.
No, it's no use.
Hey! Hey! Hey, no. No.
Hey, that's no cracker, that's my watch.
Pretty Polly. Come on.
That's a pretty Polly.
Cracker!
No, it's not a cracker. It's a watch.
No, listen to me. Here.
Look, my wife gave me that watch, Polly.
Come on, let me have it. Let me have it.
Come on.
Easy now. That's not a cracker.
Pretty Polly. Come on, give it to me.
Hey!
Hey. Come here. Polly!
Come on, Polly. Pretty Polly.
Come here, Polly.
Now, Mrs. Bristol,
will you please tell the court
exactly what happened then?
At that point, I'm afraid I fainted.
- I can't tell you any more.
- Thank you, Mrs. Bristol. Your witness.
No cross-examination.
- Thank you.
I don't know what he expects to gain
by acting like an idiot.
- Isn't he always like that?
- Not exactly.
Your Honor, my client is suffering
from a nervous breakdown brought on
by overwork and worry and aggravated
by his misunderstanding with the plaintiff.
I submit that he is not responsible
for his actions at the moment.
He needs rest and quiet, and I therefore
request an adjournment for 30 days.
If there's no objection
from opposing counsel,
the court orders
an adjournment for 30 days.
There is an objection, Your Honor.
We have some testimony
to offer on the subject.
Yes, Your Honor.
This is really a lot of nonsense.
If you have anything to say, Mrs. Ireland,
you'll have to take the stand.
Do you solemnly swear
the testimony you are about to give
in the cause now pending before this court
shall be the truth,
but the truth, so help you God?
- I do.
- Sit down, please.
Now, please state to the court
in your own language
your reasons for doubting
that your husband is really ill.
Well, I just don't see anything unusual
in the way he behaved last night.
It doesn't prove
he's having a nervous breakdown.
He was just having a good time.
Do you mean that such behavior
is usual with him?
Now, look here, George,
you know he's behaved that way often.
I told you about the time six months ago
when we went to a party at Miami
a phonograph record.
It was the hostess' favorite rumba.
- Well, possibly he did it on a bet or a dare.
- Not at all.
He said he was going to learn
to do the rumba
by taking it internally
and he rumbaed all the way home.
May I suggest, Mrs. Ireland,
that possibly marked the beginning
- of his nervous breakdown?
- George, you know very well that...
Your Honor, I assure you,
he's having no nervous breakdown.
Why, once on our honeymoon
he put on a pair of overalls
and dug a hole in the middle
of Fifth Avenue.
Did he say why?
He said he'd always been wanting
to dig a hole in the middle of Fifth Avenue.
Then you're saying, Mrs. Ireland,
that your husband is periodically
subject to these attacks?
But they weren't attacks!
They were just fun!
You mean you were quite happy
with your husband behaving this way?
Well, why shouldn't I be happy
with my husband behaving that way?
- Then why do you wish a divorce?
- Because I wasn't happy!
I mean, because I wasn't happy.
It had nothing to do with Steve's attacks.
- Then they were attacks?
- No.
They were just sort of private jokes.
Like on our last wedding anniversary when
he wanted to have dinner backwards.
Dinner back...
Pardon me, Your Honor.
Well, what's wrong with that?
Didn't you ever eat dinner backwards?
- I lived a whole week backwards once.
- Shh!
Why did he want
to have his dinner backwards?
For a perfectly normal reason.
He didn't want to walk four miles
and row on the river before dinner.
And was he afraid
someone might make him do that?
Oh, you don't understand.
That's the wedding ceremony
of the Baffinland Eskimos.
Steve used to always say
if we ever moved to Baffinland,
we'd be properly married.
It's a joke, don't you see?
He said a man can't be too careful.
Court orders this case adjourned
for 30 days.
But why? You mustn't!
I'm sorry, Mrs. Ireland,
but I'm afraid your husband
is in a doubtful mental condition.
Nothing serious, probably, but I want
to investigate quietly for 30 days.
Your Honor, I swear
this is just a trick to delay my divorce.
You mustn't let Steve make a fool of you.
Young lady, I can take care of myself.
But I want you to take care of me, too.
What happens to my divorce
if you still don't like Steve's mind
at the end of 30 days?
Why, we might postpone
Your Honor, it seems to me that I've heard
of something called a Lunacy Commission.
- Couldn't they help us?
- Yes, they could.
- But you wouldn't want that.
- If I did want it, could I have it?
Oh, yes, you have the right to refer
the matter to the Commission.
But think of the publicity.
I'm not worried about the publicity,
because, you see,
I don't have to appear
before the Lunacy Commission.
But Steve does. First thing in the morning.
Thank you, Your Honor.
- Lunacy Commission?
- Lunacy, schmoonacy!
What's the difference?
You've got your 30 days.
You've got nothing to fear
from the Lunacy Commission.
Then why am I afraid?
Look, the Lunacy Board is composed
of competent alienists
who know all about insanity.
They're doctors.
Suppose you broke your leg.
if it was broken or not.
Yeah, that's right, isn't it?
