In Reginald Rose’s Twelve Angry Men, the foreman of the jury tries to run the deliberation. He sets the rule: “This has to be a twelve-to-nothing vote either way. That’s the law.” Juror No. 7 is in a hurry: “This better be fast. I get tickets to a ball game tonight.”
When a juror mocks him, the foreman answers: “What, just because I’m trying to keep this thing organized?” Then he offers his place to anyone who wants it: “You want to do it? Here. You sit here. You take the responsibility.”
