"10th Juror: We're facing a danger here. Don't you know it? These people are multiplying. That kid on trial, his type, they're multiplying five times as fast as we are. That's the statistic. Five times. And they are - wild animals. They're against us, they hat us, they want to destroy us. That's right. Don't look at me like that! There's a danger. For God's sake, we're living in a dangerous time, and if we don't watch it, if we don't smack them down whenever we can, then they are gonna own us. They're gonna breed us out of existence. 6th Juror: Ah, shut up! 10th Juror: Now you goddamned geniuses had better listen to me. They're violent, they're vicious, they're ignorant, and they will cut us up. That's their intent. To cut us up. I'm warning you. This boy, this boy on trial here. We've got him. That's on at least.I say get him before his kind gets us. I don't give a damn about the law. Why should I? They don't."
