Pona Ņūmena tēlotā advokāta uzruna zvērināto tiesai filmā "The Verdict": “You know, so much of the time we’re just lost. We say, please God, tell us what is right. Tell us what is true. When there is no justice – the rich win, the poor are powerless. We become tired of hearing people lie. And after a time we become dead, a little dead. We think of ourselves as victims. And we become victims. We become weak. We doubt ourselves, we doubt our beliefs. We doubt our institutions. And we doubt the law. Well, today you are the law. You are the law. Not some book. Not the lawyers. Not the marble statue or the trappings of the court. See, those are just symbols of our desire to be just. They are, they are, in fact, a prayer, a fervent and a frightened prayer. In my religion, they say act as if ye had faith. Faith will be given to you. If, if we are to have faith in justice we need only to believe in ourselves. And act with justice. See, I believe there is justice in our hearts.”
