List of voters for the quote

Peter Appleton: [Seeing Adele at the cemetery] I didn't know anyone was here.Adele: I was just... saying goodbye.Peter Appleton: Adele, I'm sorry the way things turned out. I never meant to hurt anyone, least of all you.Adele: People get hurt sometimes, we can't always help it. So are you really a communist?Peter Appleton: No, I'm really not.Adele: I didn't think so. Only a dyed-in-the-wool capitalist could have gotten The Majestic up and running.Peter Appleton: Great endorsement. Can I call you as a witness?Adele: Eh, if it helps. So what will you tell the committee?Peter Appleton: Tell them what they want to hear: "Sorry, I won't do it again, blah, blah."Adele: You're not serious.Peter Appleton: What's wrong with it?Adele: Everything.Peter Appleton: Could you be a little more specific?Adele: Aside from the fact that this is a free country, and you can be a communist if you want to be a communist - leaving that aside, if you're accused falsely you have a duty as well as a right to stand up and suggest they drop dead.Peter Appleton: Emile Zola, you feel strongly about this.Adele: Damn right I do!Peter Appleton: Great, but it doesn't make the game any less rigged. There's a reason it's called a witch-hunt.Adele: And there's burden of proof, innocence before guilt.Peter Appleton: Maybe in law school. But the rest of us have to live in the real world and in the real world, I mess with these guys, I go to jail.Adele: All the more reason to fight them.Peter Appleton: Like Luke would've done? Go ahead, say it.Adele: Yes. Like Luke would have done.Peter Appleton: God, here it comes. Tell me again what a great guy Luke was, 'cause God I haven't heard that enough!Adele: He wouldn've stood up to them.Peter Appleton: Yeah well, he's not here... to vouch for that, is he? We have to take your word for it! And forgive me but everybody's memory of Luke is a little rose-colored in this town. Besides, I'm not Luke. While he was liberating Europe, I was running the PX. He couldn't wait to save the world! Me, I was happy not to go overseas!
