In NATO, you have to have unanimous approval from all the member nations. It's like getting a troop of horses to piss at the same time.

That business before when that tall guy, what's-his-name, was trying to bait me? That doesn't prove anything. I'm a pretty excitable person. I mean, where does he come off calling me a public avenger, sadist and everything? Anyone in his right mind would blow his stack. He was just trying to bait me.

He did an excellent job.

What's the matter matter with you?

I have a reasonable doubt

I have a reasonable doubt.

Your a sadist.

Ever since you walked into this room, you've been acting like a self-appointed public avenger! You want to see this boy die because you personally want it, not because of the facts! You're a sadist! [Three lunges wildly at Eight, who holds his ground. Several jurors hold Three back]

I'll kill you.

I'll kill him! I'LL KILL HIM!

Would you really do that?

You don't *really* mean you'll kill me, do you?

then you're a bum

Well, this desecration in the church. Do you think this has anything to do with witchcraft?

Maybe. Some rituals use the Black Mass. Maybe.

And now, Dennings, you read how he died?

In a fall.

Let me tell you how, and please Father, confidential. Burke Dennings, good Father, was found at the bottom of those steps leading to M Street with his head turned completely around - facing backwards.

It didn't happen in the fall?

It's possible. Possible, however -

It's possible. Possible, however...

...unlikely.

Unlikely.

Exactly. So on the one hand, we've got a witchcraft kind of murder, and on the other hand a Black Mass type desecration in the church.

You think the killer and the desecrator are the same?

Maybe somebody crazy. Somebody with a spite against the church; some unconscious rebellion.

A sick priest - is that it?

A sick priest, is that it?

Look, Father, this is hard for you. Please, I understand, but for priests on the campus here, you're the psychiatrist. You know who was sick at the time, who wasn't. I mean, this kind of sickness. You'd know that.

It's strange. The deceased comes to visit - stays only 20 minutes...and leaves all alone a very sick girl. And speaking plainly, Mrs. MacNeil, it isn't likely he would fall from a window. Besides, a fall wouldn't do to his neck what we found, except maybe one chance in a thousand. Nope, my hunch, my opinion - he was killed by a very powerful man - point one. - And the fracturing of his skull - point two. Plus the various other things we mentioned would make it very probable, probable, not certain, that the deceased was killed and then pushed from your daughter's window. But nobody was in the room, except your daughter. So how can this be? It could be one way. If someone came calling between the time Miss Spencer left and the time you returned...
