Slander (1957)

Harold J. Stone: Seth Jackson

Quotes 

• H.R. Manley : [after the little boy leaves]  'That's a fine man. Fine boy. That's a new wrinkle. Never before have I had anyone bring in a small boy to plead a case.

  Seth Jackson : If you print that story on Scott Martin, you'll be ruining a family. I thought I'd show you a sample of what you would be ruining.

  H.R. Manley : The truth never ruined anyone. It's a rotten world full of rotten people. The sooner that boy realizes it, the better for him. Why should he go through life believing his father is a Galahad when you and I know he is nothing but an ex-convict who cut up a defenseless, innocent man in an attempt to rob him.

  Seth Jackson : You've taken the trouble to dig back through Scott Martin's life to the place where he did that terrible thing at 19. Between then and now he has done a lot of other things. They're all pretty good.

  Seth Jackson : If you set that music, I'm sure you'll enjoy quite a sale at the record shops.
