Le juge
- Valentine: You're not afraid?
- The Judge: I wonder what I'd do in their place. The same thing.
- Valentine: You'd throw stones?
- The Judge: In their place? Of course. And that goes for everyone I judged. Given their lives, I would steal, I'd kill, I'd lie. Of course I would. All that because I wasn't in their shoes, but mine.
- Valentine: Excuse me... the door was open. I'm sorry, I think I ran over your dog. Rita. A German Shepherd.
- The Judge: [Displaying little interest] It's possible. She disappeared yesterday.
- Valentine: She's in my car. Alive. I don't know what to do.
- Valentine: [after getting no response from the judge] Would you like me to take her to a vet?
- The Judge: [Displaying little interest] As you wish.
- Valentine: If I ran over your daughter, would you react the same way?
- The Judge: [Displaying no emotion] I don't have a daughter, miss.
- The Judge: [pauses, then turns to her] Go away... and don't close the door!
- The Judge: I really don't know if I was on the side of right or wrong. Here at least, I know more or less where the truth lies.
