And I have my responsibilities.John Beresford Tipton: Among them, your responsibility to a human being.the Governor: For a man guilty of murdering his wife. If I signed a stay of execution, the papers would murder me!John Beresford Tipton: Yes, I suppose they would - if you were wrong. But if he proved to be innocent, you'd be a hero.the Governor: Proved, proved! But who is going to prove it? [a lightning strike knocks out the electricity]John Beresford Tipton: Power failure. Don't worry, I have a standby generator. [Moments later, electricity is restored. Tipton chuckes] I guess I could make something of the point that good ideas are like a bolt of lightning - but I won't. Governor, we all believe that there is nothing more important than human life.
