Philip Martin aka Mr. Miller
- [Philip, a blind man, explains to Patricia why he believes Barry is innocent]
- Phillip Martin: You know I can see a great deal farther than you can? I can see intangible things. For example, innocence.
- Barry Kane: I don't have any car. You might say I'm - traveling by thumb.
- Phillip Martin: By thumb?
- Barry Kane: Yeah, I'm a hitchhiker.
- Phillip Martin: Oh, I see. I've always thought that that was the best way to learn about this country and the surest test of the American heart.
- Barry Kane: [after recognizing Mr. Martin is blind] You live here alone, do you, sir?
- Phillip Martin: Yes. Except I really don't think of it in that way. You see, sounds are my lights and my colors. My music, for example. I compose a little. And there's nobody to tell me that the results are anything but brilliant, so I live in a comfortable glow of self-appreciation.
- Phillip Martin: I'm not at all convinced that he's guilty.
- Patricia "Pat" Martin: Uncle Philip, it's your duty as an American citizen.
- Phillip Martin: It is my duty as an American citizen to believe a man innocent until he's been proved guilty. Pat, don't tell me about my duty. It makes you sound so stuffy. Besides, I had my own ideas about my duties as a citizen. They sometimes involve disregarding the law.
- Phillip Martin: My dear, the police are always on the alarmist side.
- Patricia "Pat" Martin: But they said this man is really dangerous.
- Phillip Martin: I'm sure they did. How could they be heroes if he were harmless?
- Barry Kane: I used to play the triangle in our high school band. Of course, that was a long time ago.
- Phillip Martin: Oh, that's too bad. It's unfortunate when you let yourself get out of practice on the triangle. The piano is a boon to me. The piano can't know that you're blind, so it doesn't embarrass you by trying to make things easier for you. It does you the compliment to trust you.
