Pinky (1949)
Basil Ruysdael: Judge Walker
Quotes
-
Judge Walker : The expressed wishes of the dead should not be set aside to gratify the greed or the prejudice of the living.
-
Judge Walker : Your honor, this is a small country town. We've always thought that what happened here was our own private concern. This is no longer true. Just as it is no longer true that our country as a whole can exist entirely to itself. What is done in our courts in cases such as this has become a matter of moment in the eyes of the world. Let us examine our conscience. Let us look into our attitude and our tradition. Let us take care lest it be said of us that here there is neither law nor justice.
-
Judge Walker : I have here a note from Dr. Joe in which he says he's going to be delayed. Now, on the basis of this note, I petition for a brief recess.
Mr. Stanley : May I see this note, please? Do I have your permission, Judge Walker, to read this to the court?
Judge Walker : You certainly have.
Mr. Stanley : "Sorry, Mary Picken's baby jumped the gun. When it gets here, I'll get there. - Joe McGill"
