I am looking for a line from the movie, " Runaway Jury ". John Cusack asks/tells fellow juror that everything is rigged. Politics, sports , etc.

Anyone have that line or a source for it ?



P.S. Damned good movie.

Here's a quote:

Rankin Fitch: You think your average juror is king Solomon? No, he's a roofer with a mortgage. He wants to go home and sit in his Barka-lounger and let the cable TV wash over him. And this man doesn't give a single, solitary droplet of **** about truth, justice or your American way.

Nice try. But nope. The scene takes place in the jury deliberation room. John Cusack is arguing with the ex Marine Sargeant, who is pissed because he wanted to be foreman. When John Cusack is working the room trying to sway the jury, he turns to this guy and says. " Everything is rigged "................

........ and goes on about sports, politics, justice system etc.

Wasn't it something like this?

Everybody knows politics and sports are rigged, why not the courts as well?

"Business, politics, sports - you tell me what isn't rigged. I mean, is there even such a thing as an objective jury, Mr. Fitch?"

Easter says it to Fitch when they meet to talk.
