Henry Fonda - Gil Carter

“The law and justice are two entirely different matters.”
Aidan Quinn - Nick Barron

- Mrs. Ritter: Tooth for tooth... hand for hand... foot for a foot...
- Otis P. Hazelrigg: A life for a life?”

“Let me give you a little advice, kid. Just throw those law books away, huh? It's better to turn your eyes and let them fight their damn dogs. Damn sight better than them killin' each other.”

Lee Marvin - Millen
