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)'' |
