印象很深刻的

Judge Demacopoulos: Democracy by lottery is the least corruptable, you think otherwise? Look at the resumes of our prosecutors and look at the billable hours of the defense attorneys here.

Juror (when deliberate if Socrates is guilty): I spent 3 years in law school, was tortured by the Socratic method, it's inhumane, it's barbaric, it's abusive... I hate this man... I know, I know I am under oath, but I didn't raise my right hand so it doesn't count. Therefore, guilty

Judge Demacopoulos: I don't believe in the death penalty. Socrates argued that he deserved free meals, but I say, his wife is already obligated to prepare meals for him, and the city of Athens, could always used a little bit more money...

Patrick Fitzgerald (Counsel for Athens): Ladies and gentleman, suppose a recording of a trial today is put in a time capsule, 2500 years later people take out that time capsule and review the case--only to find out all the arguments made by the prosecution has been wiped out. How do you think people are going to judge our justice system? Ladies and gentlemen, this is what Plato did, this is what Plato did to my client, the city of Athens...

Patrick Collins (Counsel for Athens): If I get a penny every time when Mr Webb (Counsel for Socrates) says "freedom of speech" in the sense of the first amendment, I will be as rich as the man sitting to my right (Patrick Fitzgerald, partner at Skadden)
