Juror #10:
[when a new "not guilty" vote appears in a secret ballot] All right, who was it? I wanna know.
Juror #11:
Excuse me, this was a secret ballot. We all agreed on that. Now, if the gentleman wants it to remain secret...
Juror #3:
"Secret"? What do you mean, "secret"? There are no secrets in a jury room, I know who it was.
Juror #3:
[to Juror #5] Brother, you really are somethin'. you sit here vote guilty like the rest of us, then some golden-voiced preacher starts tearing your poor heart out about some underprivileged kid, just couldn't help becoming a murderer, and you change your vote. Well, if that isn't the most sickening - *why don't you drop a quarter in his collection box?*
Juror #5:
[astonished that #3 was accusing him, gets up] Oh, now just wait a minute! Listen, you can't talk to me that! Who do you think you are?
Juror #4:
Now calm down, calm down!
Juror #5:
No, now who do you think you are?
Juror #4:
It doesn't matter. He's very excitable. Just sit down...
Juror #3:
[exploding] "Excitable"? You bet I'm excitable! We're trying to put a guilty man in the chair where he belongs, and then someone starts telling us fairy tales and we're listening!
Juror #1:
Heya, c'mon now.
Juror #3:
[to Juror #5] What made you change your vote?
Juror #9:
He didn't change his vote - *I* did!
Juror #10:
[everyone stares] Ohhh, fine!
Juror #9:
Would you like me to tell ya why?
Juror #7:
No, I wouldn't like you to tell me why.
Juror #7:
Well, I'd like to make it clear anyways, if you don't mind.
Juror #10:
[impatient] Do we *have* to listen to this?
Juror #6:
[firmly] The man wants to talk.
Juror #9:
[to Juror #6] Thank you.
Juror #9:
[motions to Juror #8] This gentleman has been standing alone against us. Now, he doesn't say that the boy is *not* guilty; he just isn't *sure*. Well, it's not easy to stand alone against the ridicule of others, so he gambled for support... and I gave it to him. I respect his motives. The boy is probably guilty, but - eh, I want to hear more. Right now the vote is 10 to 2...
[Juror #7 gets up and heads to the bathroom]
Juror #9:
Now I'm talking here! You have no right to leave this room - !
Juror #8:
[calmly stopping him] He can't hear you, and he never will. Let's sit down.
