I didn't know anyone was here. I was just... saying goodbye. Adele, I'm sorry the way...

Peter Appleton: [Seeing Adele at the cemetery] I didn't know anyone was here. Adele: I was just... saying goodbye. Peter Appleton: Adele, I'm sorry the way things turned out. I never meant to hurt anyone, least of all you. Adele: People get hurt sometimes, we can't always help it. So are you really a communist? Peter Appleton: No, I'm really not. Adele: I didn't think so. Only a dyed-in-the-wool capitalist could have gotten The Majestic up and running. Peter Appleton: Great endorsement. Can I call you as a witness? Adele: Eh, if it helps. So what will you tell the committee? Peter Appleton: Tell them what they want to hear: "Sorry, I won't do it again, blah, blah." Adele: You're not serious. Peter Appleton: What's wrong with it? Adele: Everything. Peter Appleton: Could you be a little more specific? Adele: Aside from the fact that this is a free country, and you can be a communist if you want to be a communist - leaving that aside, if you're accused falsely you have a duty as well as a right to stand up and suggest they drop dead. Peter Appleton: Emile Zola, you feel strongly about this. Adele: Damn right I do! Peter Appleton: Great, but it doesn't make the game any less rigged. There's a reason it's called a witch-hunt. Adele: And there's burden of proof, innocence before guilt. Peter Appleton: Maybe in law school. But the rest of us have to live in the real world and in the real world, I mess with these guys, I go to jail. Adele: All the more reason to fight them. Peter Appleton: Like Luke would've done? Go ahead, say it. Adele: Yes. Like Luke would have done. Peter Appleton: God, here it comes. Tell me again what a great guy Luke was, 'cause God I haven't heard that enough! Adele: He wouldn've stood up to them. Peter Appleton: Yeah well, he's not here... to vouch for that, is he? We have to take your word for it! And forgive me but everybody's memory of Luke is a little rose-colored in this town. Besides, I'm not Luke. While he was liberating Europe, I was running the PX. He couldn't wait to save the world! Me, I was happy not to go overseas!
