A scene from The Dark Knight 2008
Harvey Dent

[During Maroni's trial]

With Carmine Falcone behind bars in Arkham, someone must've taken over the so-called Family. Is that man in this courtroom today?

Witness

[nods]

Harvey Dent

[confidently looking at Maroni]

Could you identify him, please?

Witness

[jokingly, as Maroni smirks at Dent]

You win, counselor: it was me. [courtroom laughs]

Harvey Dent

[surprised and furious, walks over to the table and picks up a folder]

I have here, a signed statement, by you, saying that Salvatore Maroni is the head of the Falcone crime family. Is that true?

Witness

Maroni's just a fall guy. I'm the brains of the organization. [courtroom laughs again]

Judge

[bangs gavel]

Order!

Harvey Dent

Your honor, permission to treat the witness as hostile.

Judge

Granted.

Witness

Hostile?! I'll show you hostile! [The witness smirks as he pulls out a gun, only for it to jam as Harvey punches him in the face and takes it]

Harvey Dent

[describing the gun to Maroni]

Carbon fiber. .28 caliber, made in China. If you want to kill a public servant, Mr. Maroni, I recommend you buy American. [places it on Maroni's desk]

Judge

Remove this man into custody!

Harvey Dent

But Your Honor, I'm not done. [the courtroom cheers]
