Juror #8:
[justifying his reason for voting "not guilty"] I just think we owe him a few words, that's all.

Juror #10:
I don't mind telling you this, mister: we don't owe him a thing. He got a fair trial, didn't he? What do you think that trial cost? He's lucky he got it. Know what I mean? Now, look - we're all grown-ups in here. We heard the facts, didn't we? You're not gonna tell me that we're supposed to believe this kid, knowing what he is. Listen, I've lived among them all my life - you can't believe a word they say, you know that. I mean they're born liars.

Juror #9:
Only an ignorant man can believe that.

Juror #10:
Now, listen...

Juror #9:
[gets up] Do you think you were born with a monopoly on the truth? [turns to Juror #8, indicating #10] I think certain things should be pointed out to this man.
