JUDGE: It's now your duty to sit down and try and separate the facts from the fancy.
Inn the movie's opening scene, the judge makes it perfectly clear that the jurors have a sacred duty in deciding the fate of an 18-year-old boy. And of all their duties, their most important one is to figure out what's real and what isn't.
Quote #2

JUROR #11: What kind of a man are you?
When Juror #7 shows his true colors, Juror #11 wants to know what kind of man he is. After all, Juror #7 has confessed to voting for whatever verdict will get him out of the courthouse as quickly as possible. For Juror #11 (and hopefully for us), this is just about the most selfish way a person could ever act.
