12 Angry Men1957

[Juror #9 has pointed out that the witness across the street had marks on her nose, indicating that she normally wore glasses]

Juror #8:
[to Juror #4] Do you wear glasses when you go to bed?

Juror #4:
No. I don't. No one wears eyeglasses to bed.

Juror #8:
It's logical to assume that *she* wasn't wearing them when she was in bed - tossing and turning, trying to fall asleep!

Juror #3:
How do *you* know?

Juror #8:
I don't *know* - I'm guessing! I'm also guessing that she probably didn't put her glasses on when she turned to look casually out of the window - and she herself testified the killing took place just as she looked out, the lights went off a split second later - she couldn't have had *time* to put them on then! [stops #3 from stopping him] Here's another guess: maybe she honestly thought she saw the boy kill his father - I say she only saw a blur!

Juror #3:
How do you know *what* she saw? How does he know all that? How do you know *what* kind of glasses she wore? Maybe they were sunglasses, maybe she was far-sighted! What do you *know* about her?

Juror #8:
I only know the woman's eyesight is in question now!

Juror #11:
She had to be able to identify a person sixty feet away, at night, without glasses.

Juror #2:
You can't send someone off to die on evidence like that!

Juror #3:
Oh, don't give me that.

Juror #8:
Don't you think the woman *might* have made a mistake?

Juror #3:
[stubbornly] No!

Juror #8:
It's not *possible?*

Juror #3:
No, it's not possible!

Juror #8:
[gets up and speaks to Juror #12] Is it possible?

Juror #12:
[nods] Not guilty.

Juror #8:
[goes to #10] You think he's guilty?

[#10 shakes his head "no"]

Juror #3:
*I* think he's guilty!

Juror #8:
[ignores #3; goes to #4] How about you?

Juror #4:
[looks at #8, pauses, then shakes head] No... I'm convinced. Not guilty.

Juror #3:
[shocked, having just lost all support] What's the matter with ya?

Juror #4:
I have a reasonable doubt now.

Juror #9:
Eleven to one!
