Fury (1936)

Sydney Jarvis: Court Bailiff

Quotes 

• Joe Wilson : Your honor, I am Joseph Wilson.

  Court Bailiff : Keep your seat!

  Judge Daniel Hopkins : Go on.

  Joe Wilson : I know that by coming here, I saved the lives of these 22 people, but that isn't why I'm here. I don't care anything about saving them. They're murderers. I know the law says they're not because I'm still alive, but that's not their fault. And the law doesn't know that a lot of things that were very important to me, silly things maybe, like a belief in justice, and an idea that men were civilized, and a feeling of pride that this country of mine was different from all others. The law doesn't know that those things were burned to death within me that night. I came here today for my own sake. I couldn't stand it anymore. I couldn't stop thinking about them with every step and every breath I took, and I didn't believe Katherine when she said... Katherine is the young lady who was going to marry me. Maybe someday after I've paid for what I did, they'll be a chance to begin again, and then maybe Katherine and I...

  Katherine Grant : Joe.
