Carl Lee Hailey: What that Memphis doctor say about her?
Gwen Hailey: She's doing good. Her jaw is healing. She can't run and jump yet, but it won't be long.
Carl Lee Hailey: How about the other?
Gwen Hailey: There was too much damage. She ain't never gonna have kids.
Carl Lee Hailey: You know, I think about them too boys. Dead, buried, probably starting to rot. And I remember them walking into court... one proud, the other scared. I remember how they fell. One on top of the other, screaming and squirming and not going nowhere. God help me Gwen, but that's the only thought that give me comfort.
Gwen Hailey: They took up a collection for us at the church. Some kind of defense fund. Reverend Agee gave a good service. We need some money around the house, Carl Lee, for groceries and bills.
Carl Lee Hailey: How much you got?
Gwen Hailey: Less than 50.
Carl Lee Hailey: I'll think of something.
Gwen Hailey: How you think you going to get some money when you stuck in jail?
Carl Lee Hailey: Trust me Gwen.
Gwen Hailey: I just get scared.
Carl Lee Hailey: Look here, tell me exactly what Reverend Agee said when he passed around the collection plate.

Jake Tyler Brigance: I don't know what to say.
Ethel Twitty: There's nothing you can say. I know you didn't want any of this to happen, but it happened all the same. You wagered all our lives on this. You just went ahead and did what you felt you had to do, no matter what the cost. Some folks think that's brave. Not me, Jake. Now, you may win, but I think we've all lost here.
