Quote
Henry Drummond:
For I intend to show this court that what Bertram Cates spoke quietly one spring morning in the Hillsboro High School is not crime. It is incontrovertible as geometry to any enlightened community of minds.
Prosecutor Tom Davenport:
In this community, Colonel Drummond, and in this sovereign state, exactly the opposite is the case. The language of the law is clear, your Honor. We do not need experts to question the validity of a law that is already on the books.
Henry Drummond:

Prosecutor Tom Davenport:
That remark is an insult to this entire community.
Henry Drummond:
And this community is an insult to the world.
