12 Angry Men Quote

[ Juror #9 has pointed out that the woman witness across the street had marks on her nose indicating she normally wore glasses ]
Juror #8 : [ to Juror #4 ] Do you wear glasses when you go to bed?
Juror #4 : No. I don't. No one wears eyeglasses to bed.
Juror #8 : It's logical to assume that she wasn't wearing them when she was in bed. Tossing and turning, trying to fall asleep.
Juror #3 : How do you know?
Juror #8 : I don't know - I'm guessing! I'm also guessing that she probably didn't put her glasses on when she turned to look casually out of the window. And she, herself, testified the killing took place just as she looked out. The lights went off a split second later - she couldn't have had time to put them on then. Here's another guess: maybe she honestly thought she saw the boy kill his father - I say she only saw a blur.
Juror #3 : How do you know WHAT she saw? How does he know all that? How do you know what kind of glasses she wore? Maybe they were sunglasses. Maybe she was far-sighted. What do you know about it?
Juror #8 : I only know the woman's eyesight is in question now.
Juror #11 : She had to be able to identify a person sixty feet away - at night - without glasses.
Juror #2 : You can't send someone off to die on evidence like that!
Juror #3 : Oh, don't give me that.
Juror #8 : Don't you think the woman might have made a mistake?
Juror #3 : No.
Juror #8 : It's not POSSIBLE?
Juror #3 : No, it's not possible!
Juror #3 : [ Juror #8 goes to Juror #12 ] Is it possible?
Juror #12 : [ nods ] Not guilty.
Juror #8 : [ #8 goes to #10 ] Do you think he's guilty? [ #10 shakes his head 'no' ]
