- Mark McCain: What I saw and heard doesn't seem to be the same thing that you saw and heard. I'll be gettin' up in front of everybody and talkin' against you, Pa.
- Lucas McCain: You're entitled to your opinion the same as I am, son. Our disagreein' has nothing' to do with telling tellin' the truth the way you saw it. Justice depends on that, son.
- Abel Goss: I guess I can't tell you how much I appreciate what you did for me.
- Lucas McCain: Don't thank me, thank the boy.
- Abel Goss: Well, I always knew how he felt about me.
- Lucas McCain: So did I. That's why, when he came up with this foolish notion about the picture, I went along with him. I also figured if Mark wouldn't give up after the way they laughed at him in court, I owed it to him to stick out my neck in court, too.
