|
Chewing gum? Gum? Gum?
|
|
|
Nine: Thank you, but no.
|
Y'know something?
|
|
|
Twelve: I know lots of things. I'm in advertising
|
Y'know, it's hot,
|
|
|
Three: I bet you aren't sweating like that kid who was tried.
|
You'd think they'd at least air-condition the place. I almost dropped dead in court.
|
|
|
Twelve: My taxes are high enough
|
This should go fast, anyway.
|
|
|
Foreman: Not too well. Y'know, a friend of his, that's a friend of my uncle, the tailor - well - this friend wanted to be on this jury in my place
|
Why didn't you let him? I would have done anything to miss this.
|
|
|
Four: A man can't be held in double jeopardy. Unless it's a hung jury, they can't try a man twice for the same crime.
|
That isn't going to happen here
|
|
|
Three: Everyone gets a fair trial... That's the system. Well, I suppose you can't say anything against it.
|
How do you like that business about the knife? Did you ever hear a phonier story
|
|
|
Ten: Well look you gotta expect that. You know what you're dealing with...
|
He bought a switch knife that night
|
|
|
Ten: And then he lost it.
|
A hole in his pocket.
|
|
|
Ten: Look at the kind of people they are - you know them. [blows nose]
|
What's the matter? You got a cold?
|
|
|
Ten: A lulu! These hot weather colds can kill you.
|
I had one last year, while I was on vacation too.
|
|
|
Foreman: Alright, ladies and gentlemen, Let's take seats.
|
Right. This better be fast. I've got tickets to west side story for tonight. I must be the only person in the world who hasn't seen it yet. Okay your honor, start the show
|
|
|
Four: There are better proofs than some emotion you may have- perhaps a dislike for some group
|
We all agreed that it was hot
|
|
|
Foreman: Alright now we can handle this any way we want to. I mean, I'm not going to make any rules. If we want to discuss it first and then vote, that's one way. Or we can vote right now and see how we stand.
|
Let's vote now. Who knows, maybe we can all go home.
|
|
|
Foreman: Anybody doesn't want to vote?
|
That was easy.
|
|
|
Eight: I don't know
|
After six days, he doesn't know.
|
|
|
Eight: I don't know whether I believe it or not. Maybe I don't.
|
So what'd you vote not guilty for?
|
|
|
Eight: There were eleven votes for guilty- it's not so easy for me to raise my hand and send a boy off to die without talking about it first.
|
Who says it's easy for me?
|
|
|
Foreman: He's still just as guilty, whether it's an easy vote or a hard vote.
|
Is there something wrong because I voted fast?
|
|
|
Eight: Not necessarily
|
I think the guy's guilty. You couldn't change my mind if you talked for a hundred years
|
|
|
Four: I don't see any need for arguing like this. I think we ought to behave like ladies and gentlemen.
|
Right!
|
|
|
Eleven: If you don't mind, I'm going to close the window.
|
If you don't mind, I'd like to have the window open
|
|
|
Eleven: But it was blowing on me
|
Don't you want a little air? It's summer- it's hot.
|
|
|
Eleven: I was very uncomfortable
|
There are twelve of us in this room, if you don't mind
|
|
|
Eleven: I have some rights too
|
So do the rest of us
|
|
|
Foreman: Supposing we go once around the table
|
Okay, lets start it off
|
|
|
Foreman: Anything else? |
I don't know. Most of it's been said already. We can talk all day about this thing, but I tink we're wasting our time. Look at this kid's record. He stole a car. He's been arrested for mugging. I think they said he stabbed somebody in the arm. He was picked up for knife fighting. At fifteen he was in reform school. This is a very fine boy.
|
|
|
Eight: Ever since he was five years old his father beat him up regularly. He used his fists.
|
So would I on a kid like that.
|
|
|
Four: The storekeeper identified the knife and said it was the only one of its kind he had in stock. Why did the boy get it?
|
As a present for a friend of his, he says.
|
|
|
Eight: Do you think he lied [about going to the movies]
Five: I- I don't know |
Now wait a second. What are you- the guy's lawyer? Listen- there are still eleven of us who think he's guilty. You're alone/ What do you think you're going to accomplish? If you want to be stubborn and hang this jury he'll be tried again, and found guilty as sure as he's born.
|
|
|
Seven: He'll be found guilty sure as he's born.
Eight: You're probably right |
So what are you going to do about it? We can be here all night.
|
|
|
Nine: It's only one night. A man may die.
|
Oh, now. Come on.
|
|
|
Three: The woman across the el tracks- she saw it!
|
We know he bought a switch knife that night and we don't know where he really was. At the movies?
|
|
|
Eight: [new vote if 11 votes guilty, he'll change]
|
Okay, let's do it.
|
|
|
Ten: How do you like that?
|
Who was it? I think we have a right to know.
