To Kill a Mockingbird

If you shouldn't be defendin' him, then why are you doin' it?
The main one is, if I didn't I couldn't hold up my head in town, I couldn't even tell you or Jem no to do something again.
For a number of reasons.
You mean if you didn't defend that man, Jem and me wouldn't have to mind you any more?
Why?
That's about right.
Because I could never ask you to mind me again. Scout, simply by the nature of work, every lawyer gets a least one case in his lifetime that affects him personally.
This one's mine I guess. You might hear some ugly talk about it at school, but do one thing for me if you will: you just hold your head high and keep those fists down. No matter what anybody says to you, don't you let 'em get your goat.
Atticus, are we going to to win it?
Try fighting with your head for a change . . . it's a good one, even if it does resist learning.
No, honey.
Then why ---
Simply because we were licked a hundred years before we started is no reason for us not to try to win.
You sound like Cousin Ike Finch.
