Stanley Ford:
Gentlemen... [looks at Harold Lampson, who gives him a wink and a grin; turns back to jury] Stanley Ford:
Gentlemen, I address you not as judge and jury, but as a fellow American male. The crime that you have just seen Harold Lampson commit in his imagination I have been accused of committing in reality. Too long has the American man allowed himself to be bullied, coddled, and mothered, and tyrannized, and in general meant to feel like a feeble-minded idiot by the female of the species. Do you realize the power that you have in your hand here today? If one man - just one man - can stick his wife in the goop from the gloppitta-gloppitta machine, and get away with it! Whoa-ho-ho, boy, we've got it made. We have got it made. All of us. Charles Firbank:
Hear! Hear! Stanley Ford:
Gentlemen, I did it. [crowd murmurs] Stanley Ford:
I killed her. I murdered my wife. [judge bangs gavel] Stanley Ford:
Every single charge that the district attorney has leveled against me is true. Indeed, I did slip her a Mickey - brrrup-brrrap! [smacks rail] Stanley Ford:
I cold-bloodedly then fed her into a tomb of goop from the gloppitta-gloppitta machine! I ask you to Acquit me! Acquit me on the grounds of justifiable homicide. And not for my sake... for yours
