Anatomy of a Murder
Lt. Frederick Manion: How do I know that you can handle my case?
Paul Biegler: I guess you don't know.
Paul Biegler: The unwritten law is a myth, lieutenant. There is no such thing as unwritten law.
Parnell Emmett McCarthy: You don't have to love him. Just defend him.
Paul Biegler: There's only one thing more devious than a Philadelphia lawyer. And that's an Irish lawyer.
Paul Biegler: Bad temper is no excuse.
Paul Biegler: In the mean time, just remember how crazy you were.
Paul Biegler: It would be difficult not to look at you.
Judge Weaver: The attorneys will provide the wisecracks.
Secretary: You can't fire me 'til you pay me.
Parnell Emmett McCarthy: Twelve people go off into a room: twelve different minds, twelve different hearts, from twelve different walks of life; twelve sets of eyes, ears, shapes, and sizes. And these twelve people are asked to judge another human being as different from them as they are from each other. And in their judgment, they must become of one mind - unanimous. It's one of the miracles of Man's disorganized soul that they can do it, and in most instances, do it right well. God bless juries.
Parnell Emmett McCarthy: That's what I call bloody justice for everyone.
Paul Biegler: I guess you don't know.
