Juror #3: [as Juror 8 sets up an experiment to see if the
old man could reach his front door in 15 seconds] What do you mean, *you* wanna
try it? Why didn't his lawyer bring it up if it's so important?
Juror #5: Well, maybe he just didn't think about it, huh?
Juror #10: What do you mean didn't think of it? Do you think
the man's an idiot or something? It's an obvious thing!
Juror #5: Did *you* think of it?
Juror #10: Listen, smart guy, it don't matter whether I
thought of it. He didn't bring it up because he knew it would hurt his case.
What do you think of that?
Juror #8: Maybe he didn't bring it up because it would've
meant bullying and badgering a helpless old man. You know that doesn't sit very
well with a jury; most lawyers avoid it if they can.
Juror #7: So what kind of a bum is he, then?
Juror #8: That's what I've been asking, buddy.
