Two of my faves aren't from movies so it's not easy to find them to make sure I got them verbatim. Both shows were documentaries on The History Channel several years ago. I believe the first one was something about a history of the KKK.
This guy is telling a story about three defendants on trial for the murder of an African American man. Goes something like this:

"So one of the defendants looks at the man's mother and says I'm so sorry for what I did to your son, please forgive me. And she looks at him and says son, I already have. And I tell you there wasn't a dry eye in that courtroom. Even that ol' Mississippi judge had to hold a few back."

The other is about 9/11 and this guy is talking about the brave firefighters going in to save people.

"And here I am stumbling down the stairs and I pass this firefighter in the stairwell and I look him in the eyes, and I tell you he didn't miss a God damn step"
