The Majestic Quotes

 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 died 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:
Yeah, 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! Adele- Why? Ptere- Because I didn't want to end up like him. I wanted to survive! You stand for a cause you get mowed down. Look. Look! That's the real world. I want my God damn life back Adele...

 Peter Appleton:
The 5th Ammendment is out of the question. But there is another Ammendment I'd like to invoke. I wonder if anyone here is familiar with it. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion."
Congressman Doyle:
You're out of order!
Peter Appleton:
"Shall make no law... respecting - "
Congressman Doyle:
My chamber will come to order!
Peter Appleton:
"An establishment of religion... or prohibiting free exercise thereof... or abridging freedom of speech, or of the press... or of the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
Congressman Doyle:
Do not presume to lecture this Committee!
Peter Appleton:
The First Ammendment. It's what we're about, if we'd live up to it. It's part of the contract every citizen has here. Even though the Constitution and the *Bill of Rights*... are just pieces of paper with signatures on them... they're the only contracts that we have that are defintely not subject... to renegotiation. Not by you, Mr.Chairman.
Congressman Doyle:
Mr.Appleton!
Peter Appleton:
Not by you, Mr. Clyde.
Congressman Doyle:
Stand down!
Peter Appleton:
Not by anyone, ever. Too many people have paid in blood.
Congressman Doyle:
Enough, sir! You are out of order!
Peter Appleton:
[holds up Luke's Congressional Medal of Honor] People like Luke Trimble... and all the sons of Lawson, California. And they deserve better than this.
Stan Keller:
[in tears... to the patrons listening in Mabel's Diner in Lawson] Goddamn Right! They deserve better! [looks at Bob working the grill]
Stan Keller:
All you boys do...
Congressman Doyle:
[banging his gavel] I will have order or I will clear this chamber!
Peter Appleton:
When you get right down to it, fellas... that's all I have to say to you. [turns and leaves the courtroom]
