Reply #41: Just about every scene from "12 Angry Men", but this one might be my favorite [View All]

One of my all-time favorites...

Henry Fonda Character: Slip through our fingers? Are you his executioner?

Lee J Cobb character: I'm one of 'em!

Henry Fonda Character: Perhaps you'd like to pull the switch?

Lee J Cobb character: For this kid? You bet I would!

Henry Fonda Character: I feel sorry for you... what it must feel like to want to pull the switch. Ever since you walked into this room, you've been acting like a self-appointed public avenger! You want to see this boy die because you personally want it, not because of the facts! You're a sadist!

-Cobb lunges wildly at Fonda, who holds his ground. Several jurors hold Cobb back-

Lee J Cobb character: I'll kill him! I'LL KILL HIM!
Henry Fonda Character: You don't *really* mean you'll kill me, do you?
