".. this professor said there'd be those who'd see the law in black or white. they'd do fine. there'd be those who wont be able to tell the black from white. they'd flunk. then there'd be those who can not only tell the black from white, they'd be able to see all the grays. then they'd be doomed forever... in life, ally's facing some of that doom; she's forever seeing grays. She's constantly trying to make sense in an arena that for the most part is messed up... What I'm talking about is; she knows. She knows! whatever the virtues of balance, it's just a pleasant form of insanity...
...i know her; i know this woman. there's only one of her. trust me. and if you use your gavel to even slightly squash what makes her, you dont know her."
