Quotes 

• Deborah Lipstadt : What did you think, Anthony?

  Anthony Julius : What did I think? I thought it was the most boring morning we've had in court so far.

  Deborah Lipstadt : My God, you love to be contrary.

  Anthony Julius : Well, the man's an anti-Semite and a racist. It's like having shit on your shoe. You wipe it off. You don't study it.

  David Irving : [on TV]  I think if you look at the judgment closely, you'll see there are all sorts of things there in my favor.

  Network Reporter 2 : [on TV]  You're not seriously suggesting that this judgment supports you?

  David Irving : [on TV]  Well, plainly I ran rings round the defense. My only regret is I didn't use a mallet of sufficient caliber to ram my case into the thick skull of the judge.

  Network Reporter 2 : [on TV]  Mr. Irving, what people want to know is whether, on the basis of this judgment, you will now stop denying the Holocaust.

  David Irving : [on TV]  Me? Stop? Good Lord, no. Despite the fact that the judge says, 'It appears to me... '

  Deborah Lipstadt : [answering the phone call]  Hello?

  Anthony Julius : Deborah? He seems to be saying he won.

  Deborah Lipstadt : I know. He used to be a Holocaust denier, and now he's a verdict denier.

  David Irving : [on TV]  The fact that she didn't even dare to appear tells you everything you need to know about Miss Lipstadt.

  Deborah Lipstadt : Let's just turn him off.

  David Irving : [on TV]  I don't think her Brooklyn accent would have endeared her to the court.

  Deborah Lipstadt : It's Queens.

• Anthony Julius : Mr. Irving. He wants to be the brilliant maverick, the provocateur who comes along and reinvents the Second World War. But he also wants respect, the respect of his colleagues in the club. England's a club, Deborah, and he wants to join.

  Deborah Lipstadt : But he's an anti-Semite.

  Anthony Julius : You'd be amazed how many military historians see that as just a detail. They see him as a serious historian who happens to see things from Hitler's point of view.

  Deborah Lipstadt : Yeah, but it's not a detail. You know, I think it's at the center of everything he thinks and does. He's a liar and a falsifier of history.
