Two-Face: Guilty. Sentence to be carried out in...
Renée: No! Wait! What about his defense? He's entitled to a defense!
Two-Face: No defense. No one to speak for him.
Renée: Then I speak for him.
Two-Face: You're no lawyer.
Renée: You can't do this, Harvey. You told me you loved the law. You can't pervert it like this.
Two-Face: No one can speak for him, Renée! Don't you understand?
Gordon: You can. I want Harvey Dent to defend me.
Two-Face: ...Dent...? For the defense...?
Renée: You have to, Harvey. You're the only one who can defend him.
[Two-Face flips his coin. Good side comes up.]
Harvey Dent: Commissioner, you might step down. The defense calls its first and only witness... Two-Face. Did you...
Two-Face: You miserable, self-righteous, arrogant, pompous..
Harvey Dent: Sir! I'll have to ask...
Two-Face: Or what? You'll do what, you worthless...
Harvey Dent: Permission to treat as a hostile witness, your Honor.
Two-Face: And who do you think you're talking to? You stupid...
Harvey Dent: Thank you. Two-Face, did you approach James Gordon on day #124 of the Federal No Man's Land?
Two-Face: Don't you remember? You were there!
Harvey Dent: Did you offer him anything in exchange for your help?
Two-Face: We entered into an agreement, and you know it.
Harvey Dent: Were terms set?
Two-Face: No, no terms were...
Harvey Dent: What happened next?
Two-Face: Oh, you remember, don't you? We killed! We laid out the bodies of the Xhosa and the Wreckers and let the Blue Boys just...
Harvey Dent: Did Gordon ask for your help?
Two-Face: What? Of course not, he's a wimp like you, another wi...
Harvey Dent: As a result of the murders you committed, the GCPD gained significant territory?
Two-Face: You know it.
Harvey Dent: In essence you blackmailed Gordon, the implication herein being that the murders were committed at his request.
Two-Face: Right.
Harvey Dent: But they weren't. You took it upon yourself to... let's see if I can remember just how you put it... 'serve justice'?
Two-Face: No!
Harvey Dent: So any contract Gordon entered into with you was under duress, and therefore void.
Two-Face: No! No, no, he did it, he's guilty and you can't... you can't... you... can't...
[Two-Face breaks down]
Harvey Dent:...Defense... rests.
Two-Face: Not Guilty. Acquitted... it's my fault. Renée!
Renée: Right here.
Two-Face: Case... it was a weak case. You've got to say it.
Renée: You're under arrest. [Cuffs him]
Two-Face: Renée? Don't forget to read me my rights.
Renée: I won't, Harvey.
Renée: No! Wait! What about his defense? He's entitled to a defense!

"The Goblin killed, I had nothing to do with it! Don't, don't let him take me again. I beg you, protect me!"
— Norman Osborn / Green Goblin, Spider-Man
Literature
BE A MAN. SHOW YOUR METAL, pronounced the Face, suddenly resonating inside Alexei Alexandrovich's mind. Never before had he heard the Face speak so loudly, and the vehemence and power of the voice scattered his thoughts and sent a shiver down his spine.
"I am obliged to tell you," Alexei Alexandrovich began again, and then hesitated.
I AM METAL AND YOU ARE ME.
Music
Who is this that speaks to me? / Tearing down my mind
My reality? / This must certainly be the one
What will I pay for this? / This evil synthesis!
I have forced you here / I'm hiding, right here inside you
Trapped in here so long / You'll find me growing in every man
I'm out of control / Evil enslaves my soul
I can feel you inside me
Of course you can
You're not stronger than me
I am you
I won't let you!
I own you!
No, you can't have me!
I won't let you destroy me / You took away my life
With your wicked seed / If you're able to take control
You'll bring damnation upon my soul

Norman Osborn: No! Not again...
Green Goblin: (in the mirror) I'm your friend, Norman.
Norman: You're not my friend, you're some...monster!
Goblin: No! The others, they're the monsters. Kingpin, the Hobgoblin, Spider-Man. They're all trying to hurt you, squeeze you, crush you.
Norman:...Yes. That's exactly what they're doing to me!
Goblin: And that's why you should let me stop them.
Norman: It would be wrong!
Goblin: "Wrong" is what they're doing to you, and what they want to do to Harr-y...
Norman: I - I can't!
Goblin: You can! You must! Let me out, Norman. LET! ME! OUT! NOW!
Green Goblin: (in the mirror) I'm your friend, Norman.
