- Your honor, I don't believe this young woman is well. I request a five-minute recess!

- I want to plead guilty!

- Your honor, please! It must be perfectly apparent the witness has been made hysterical by the tactics of the district attorney! Your honor! A few minutes recess, please! She's obviously not responsible for what she's saying!

- There isn't anything temporary about this. Your honor, you can see that I'm in my right mind.

- I plead guilty.

- You leave me no other alternative. The court at this time will fix next Friday, January sixth at ten a. m. as day for passing sentence.
