Quotes
-
Tom Hayden : What is that?
Rennie Davis : I've been keeping a list every day. Americans who've been killed since the day we were arrested.
Tom Hayden : Why?
Rennie Davis : With the trial starting, it might get easy to forget who this is about.
-
Tom Hayden : Are we using the trial to defend ourselves against very serious charges that could land us in prison for ten years, or to say a pointless "fuck you" to the establishment?
Jerry Rubin : Fuck you!
Tom Hayden : That is what I was afraid... Wait, I don't know if you were saying "fuck you" or answering.
Abbie Hoffman : ...I was also confused.
-
Abbie Hoffman : Winning elections, that's the first thing on your wish list? Equality, justice, education, poverty and progress, they're second?
Tom Hayden : If you don't win elections, it doesn't matter what's second. And it is astonishing to me that someone still has to explain that to you.

Ramsey Clark : I'm in private practice now, and if John Mitchell wants to cut me in half, he can and he will.
Tom Hayden : You have to find some... Sir, you have to find some courage now.
Ramsey Clark : Find some courage? Yeah.
Tom Hayden : Yes. You have to find some courage, and...
Leonard Weinglass : [silencing him] Tom.
Ramsey Clark : [points at Kelly and Ackerman] That's what those two men came to tell me, that if John Mitchell wants to cut me in half, he can and he will. So I wanted them in the room when I said 'When do you want me in court?'
Howard Ackerman : [standing in surprise] Mr. Clark?
William Kunstler : I'm sorry?
Ramsey Clark : Swear me in, Bill.
Howard Ackerman : It is against the law for you to testify, Ramsey. It is as simple as that.
Ramsey Clark : It's General Clark. And arrest me or shut the fuck up.
Ramsey Clark : [turns to Hayden] Found some.
-
Detective Deluca : [to Tom] Don't fuckin' move.
Detective Bell : [also to Tom] On your feet.
Tom Hayden : Those are two contradictory instructions.

[after being informed of Fred Hampton's murder]
Bobby Seale : [to Tom Hayden] You've all got the same father, right? 'Cut your hair, don't be a fag, respect authority, respect America - respect me.' Your life, it's a 'fuck-you' to your father, right? A little?
Tom Hayden : Maybe.
Bobby Seale : Maybe. And you can see how that's different from a rope on a tree?
Tom Hayden : [quietly] Yeah.
Bobby Seale : Yeah. He was shot in the shoulder first. You can't aim a gun if you've been shot in the shoulder, you can't squeeze the trigger. Second shot was in his head. Fred was executed. Anything else?
William Kunstler : No.
[Bobby leaves the room without another word]
-
Tom Hayden : If blood is going to flow, let it flow all over this city!
-
Tom Hayden : Is that Jerry?
Rennie Davis : [on the phone] Yeah.
Tom Hayden : Tell him to tell Abbie we're going to Chicago to end the war and not to fuck around.
Rennie Davis : [into the phone] Tom says to tell Abbie that we're going to Chicago to end the war and not to fuck around.
Jerry Rubin : Hayden says we're going to Chicago to end the war and not to fuck around.
Abbie Hoffman : Tell Hayden that I went to Brandeis and I can do both.
-
Fred Hampton : Bobby's life is at stake, and you guys are playing to the crowd?
Tom Hayden : Thank you...
Fred Hampton : Shut up!
-
Leonard Weinglass : Abbie's smarter than you think he is.
Tom Hayden : Cows are smarter than I think he is.
