Line #3 Funny/TwelveAngryMen


1	* Jurors #3 and #8 have spent most of the movie at each others' throats. When #3 wants someone to help him reenact a knife attack, #8 goes along with it because he's the only one standing up. Given their previous interactions, as soon as #3 raises the knife, ''everybody else in the room jumps up'' thinking #8 is about to get stabbed. #3 and #8, for their part, are relatively cool-headed about it, but #3 is clearly trying not to give into his anger.
2	* When Juror #9 gets interrupted, Juror #6, who thinks people ought to be more respectful to the elderly, sharply rebukes the guy who interrupted him, and then tells Juror #9 in a very gentle voice that he can go ahead and say whatever he wants. It's well-intentioned, but #9 gives him a brief look like [[SarcasmMode "Gee, pal, thanks for not being patronising in any way."]]
3	* Watching poor Juror #10 get caught in some HypocriticalHumor:
4	-->'''Juror #10''': He's a common, ignorant slob. He don't even speak good English.\
5	'''Juror #11''': He ''doesn't'' even speak good English.
6	** Should be worth mentioning that Juror #11 is the only foreigner out of the group.
7	* While just chatting, Juror #7 talks with Juror #5 about baseball teams. Seems Juror #7 doesn't have a very high opinion of Baltimore's team.
8	-->'''Juror #7''': You a Yankee fan?\
9	'''Juror #5''': No, Baltimore.\
10	'''Juror #7''': Baltimore? [[StealthInsult That's like being hit in the head with a crow bar once a day.]]
11	** Changed to the Milwaukee Brewers in the new version. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] since the Baltimore Orioles were consistent playoff contenders in the late 90s.
12	* At one point, #7 starts whistling obnoxiously, prompting a rare burst of assertiveness from #2 (a very small, timid bank teller):
13	-->'''Juror #2:''' Come on, knock it off!\
14	'''Juror #7:''' Okay… [[SarcasmMode Okay, okay, killer!]] Yeah…
15	** Juror #7 then calls him "killer" for the rest of the film.
16	* The OhCrap expression Juror #3 has when he accidentally contradicts his own statement, asking how the old man (whose testimony he's been using as evidence) could be sure about anything. Especially funny if you see a staged version, as some productions will have #4 give him a "You ''idiot''" sort of look while everyone else just stares at him.
17	* Following yet another argument, cue poor Juror #2 trying to defuse the tension. "...Does anybody want a cough drop?"
18	** Becomes a BrickJoke a little later on:
19	-->'''Juror #10:''' Who's got those cough drops?\
20	'''Juror #2:''' They're all gone, [[IronicEcho my friend]].
21	* Juror #8 arguing that the defendant's lawyer did an inadequate job.
22	-->'''Juror #8:''' It is possible for a lawyer to be just stupid. It is possible.\
23	'''Juror #7:''' You sound like you've met my brother-in-law.\
24	''[#8 looks at #7, amused]''
25	* #3 picks up the knife as he tries to make a point about the boy "ramming this into his father!" #9 then reminds him that that's actually the one #8 bought, rather than the murder weapon (which was handed back to the guard outside).
26	-->'''Juror #3''': Oh, ''brilliant!'' ''(drops the knife back onto the table)''
