• Indrajit Chaddha (Scheming Lawyer) : [On seeing protests in the factory and the servants leaving the house after the case slowly turns against him]  Now this fight is not only between us and Damini, Mr. Gupta. On one side are these people who've been bearing the injustices we've inflicted upon them all these years. And on the other side are us. Damini created a power along with the common man. Now there's only one way out of this mess. Just as Urmi's murder was made to look like a suicide, Damini's death will have to be fabricated as a road accident. The flame torch of truth which she's carrying with her can be extinguished only by her blood.

  Shekhar Gupta : [Entering the room clapping sarcastically]  Great, simply marvelous. A woman whose faith you couldn't buy, whose truth you cannot fight, whose faith you cannot break, by deciding to kill her, you are giving a good proof of being a man.

  Mr. Gupta (Shekhar's dad) : [In paranoia]  Just stop talking rubbish.

  [Lighting his cigarette in fear] 

  Mr. Gupta (Shekhar's dad) : Everyone is insulting us in the city. This is now the only way we can save what's left of our prestige in the society.

  Shekhar Gupta : [Furiously]  Prestige? What prestige, dad? In whose house an innocent girl has been raped, does he talk about respect? The one who has killed a helpless weak girl in the hospital, does he talk about respect? The one who thinks about the death of his daughter-in-law, does he talk about respect? Where is the respect? Where is that respect? It is better to die in shame than to live with such dignity. How many more crimes will you commit to cover up one crime? You don't even know that you have stooped so low! Today I'm proud that I'm Damini's husband, but I feel ashamed of calling myself Kedarnath Gupta's son! Don't touch me!

  Indrajit Chaddha (Scheming Lawyer) : [Trying to intimidate Rishi Kapoor]  Don't you even have the manners how to behave with your father...

  Shekhar Gupta : [Snatching Amrish Puri by his collar in a threatening tone]  Enough, Chaddha, Enough! I feel like killing you right here. But I won't kill anyone, and I will regret for this.

  [as he's leaving the room] 

  Shekhar Gupta : And listen up all of you, tomorrow during the hearing I'll be making my statement in Damini's favour. Do what you can.
