Clear cut. 434 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:38,040 Mr. Montay, it isn't a sin to admit that you were wrong. 435 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:43,040 All of us searched our hearts and realized our mistakes, and we changed our minds. 436 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:47,040 You changed your minds. You. 437 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:52,040 Why, your minds were changed for you.

I'll admit that. Oh, but you are, Dunovan. 444 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,040 You talk to these people right out of an honest verdict. 445 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:21,040 You just knew you were right and everybody else had to see it your way. 446 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,040 Oh, don't be ridiculous. Why would I do a thing like that? 447 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,040 Why? That's a good question. 448 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:30,040 I thought maybe you knew the defendant, a friend of his or something. 449 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,040 Maybe there was something about his wife, but that wasn't it. 450 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:38,040 You're out of your mind. You think a lot of yourself, don't you? 451 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:43,040 I've never talked to anybody who used the words I, me, or mine as much as you do. 452 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:47,040 Oh, I've known men like you before. They think the world revolves around them. 453 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,040 Always think they're right. Never admit they're wrong. 454 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:51,040 Montay, I've had enough of this. 455 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:55,040 You'd do anything, Dwell Boyd, admitting that you were wrong, wouldn't you? 456 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:59,040 My verdict happens to be the right verdict, Montay. You're the only holdout here. 457 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,040 You can't stand being wrong, can you? That's why you made everybody change their mind. 458 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,040 You can't admit that you're wrong, not your kind. 459 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:09,040 Oh, no, if you did, you'd begin to wonder about other things about yourself, 460 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,040 and you couldn't take that, could you, Donovan? 461 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:16,040 You can't talk to me that way, you crummy little nobody. I won't have any more of it. Do you understand? 462 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,040 I'm just getting started. I'm going to talk and talk and keep talking 463 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,040 until these people get a chance to do what's right. 464 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:27,040 You've twisted them around your little finger, made fools of them all, but it's not too late. 465 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:31,040 And what are you going to do about it, Donovan? 466 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,040 Mr. Montay? 467 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,040 What is it, Bailup? 468 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,040 You folks can go home now.
