Jack Nicholson's impassioned courtroom rant, "You can't handle the truth! " was ad-libbed, but one cannot deny that it heightened the effect of the scene. Though the line was in Aaron Sorkin's script, Nicholson's thunderous tone and pointed emphasis were entirely his own. His ad-libbed pacing and ferocity stunned the cast and crew and made an already climactic moment legendary. The scene sealed Nicholson's reputation as a maestro of on-the-spot genius and became one of the most saluted lines in film history.
