The Male Animal (1942)

Henry Fonda: Tommy Turner

Quotes 

• Prof. Tommy Turner : [Reading Vanzetti's writing sample, at 1:35:40]  If it had not been for these things, I might have lived out my life talking at street corners to scorning men. I might have died, unmarked, unknown, a failure. Now we are not a failure. Never in our full life can we hope to do such work for tolerance, for justice, for man's understanding of man, as now we do by accident. Our words - our lives - our pains - nothing! The taking of our lives - lives of a good shoemaker and a poor fish peddler - all! That last moment belongs to us - that agony is our triumph.

• Ellen Turner : You'd better take a hot water bottle to bed with you.

  Prof. Tommy Turner : Nice of you to arrange for a substitute.
