Juror #8: I just want to talk.
Juror #7: Well, what's there to talk about? Eleven men in
here think he's guilty. No one had to think about it twice except you.
Juror #10: I want to to ask you something: do you believe
his story?
Juror #8: I don't know whether I believe it or not - maybe I
don't.
Juror #7: So how come you vote not guilty?
Juror #8: Well, there were eleven votes for guilty. It's not
easy to raise my hand and send a boy off to die without talking about it first.
Juror #7: Well now, who says it's easy?
Juror #8: No one.
Juror #7: What, just because I voted fast? I honestly think
the guy's guilty. Couldn't change my mind if you talked for a hundred years.
Juror #8: I'm not trying to change your mind. It's just
that... we're talking about somebody's life here. We can't decide it in five
minutes. Supposing we're wrong?
Juror #7: Supposing we're wrong! Supposing this whole
building should fall down on my head. You can suppose anything!
Juror #8: That's right.
