When Henry Fonda playing John S. Bottomly, during suspect filtering quoted *we don't want to throw the baby out with the bath*. This is a well known idiom which is actually *throwing out the baby with the bath water*. Relates back to a time where each family family member in turn would take a bath, the baby (surprisingly) the last. The meaning relates to something good being eliminated when trying to get rid of something bad. As a policemen Bottomly would not mis-quote this popular saying.
