Quotes

  Henry Brubaker : Because that's murder they're talking about in there. And if I condone it, you can't turn around and tell these men why they're locked up. It's one standard for everyone, the way I see it.

  Lillian Gray : And you can't see any options, no middle ground.

  Henry Brubaker : No, I don't see playing politics with the truth, Lillian.

  Lillian Gray : No way to compromise?

  Henry Brubaker : Oh, on strategy, maybe... but not on principle.

  Lillian Gray : [flustered]  But that's what I... goddamn it, I agree with you...

  Henry Brubaker : [bluntly]  No you don't. Not really.

• Lillian Gray : You can't reform the system if you're not in it.
