• Lt. Frederick Manion : How can a jury disregard what it's already heard?

  Paul Biegler : [shaking head]  They can't, lieutenant. They can't.

• Lt. Frederick Manion : [Roars at "Duke" Miller, who has just given his testimony]  You're a *liar!* You're a *lousy, stinking liar!*

  Paul Biegler : I apologize to the court for my client's outburst. But it's almost excusable, since the prosecution has seen fit to put a felon on the stand to testify against an officer in the United States Army.

• Paul Biegler : She's a very pretty woman, your wife,

  Lt. Frederick Manion : A man gets used to the ways his wife looks.

  Paul Biegler : Yeah, I can see that.

• Lt. Frederick Manion : Wanted: the Big Ten. Hey. They've got the ten best-dressed dames, the ten top teams, the ten top tunes, and now the ten most wanted.

  Paul Biegler : Well, don't knock it. That's the American Dream. Those boys made The Grade.
