Ladies and gentlemen,
distinguished collies.
Uh, my client, Frank, here...
isn't really on trial
today, you know?
Common sense is on trial.
And, well, common sense
would tell you that...
eating a bowl of cereal
while operating a car is-
it's-it's reckless.
It's moronic.
One might even call it...
donkey-brained.
Donkey-brained?
It means to have the
brains of a donkey...
or a donkey-type
creature.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think I
know what it means, guy.
But if anything, it's not donkey-brained
to drive around with a bowl of cereal.
It's donkey-brained to drive around
without the use of your vision.
Oh. That's interesting. So you do admit
that someone who makes foolish decisions...
could be considered
donkey-brained?
Uh-Sure.
Yeah, okay, fine.
I'll take it.
All right.
Now, Frank, if I'm correct,
when you were a boy,
you were admitted into a...
mental institution.
- Is this correct?
- That's correct.
But soon after, it was discovered
that I wasn't mentally disabled,
so they let me go.
And they let me go
with the proper paperwork,
clearing me of everything.
I would like to add
into evidence Article 1.
Uh, Mac, will you please
read this document?
Mm-hmm. “By the power of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
Reid Mental Institution hereby decrees
Frank Reynolds to not have...
donkey brains.”
[ Dee, Dennis ] What?
That is an official document
that says “donkey brain” on it?
What is that?
Well, it's written
right here in plain English.
Frank, would you like to
clear this up for everybody?
Well, all the kids in the
neighborhood knew I got sent upstate,
so they started calling me “Frankie Donkey
Brains,” and it was very traumatic.
So I got my mommy to drive
me back up to the loony bin,
where they signed
this official certificate...
exonerating me
of all donkey brains.
Yeah, great. What does this
have to do with anything?
Well, Dennis,
if by your own admission,
someone who has donkey brains
could be considered...
reckless or moronic or idiotic,
and my client Frank here has a
state-issued certificate...
clearing him of having
said donkey brains,
then I ask you this-
Do you have
any such certificate?
