In The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020) Aaron Sorkin based a lot of the lines used from the trial transcript itself. Abbie Hoffman really exclaimed "Father, No!" when the judge made it clear that they are not related.

Full transcript can be found here. Here is a page that goes through the examinations of those on the witness stand. There is some genuine gold here. Including Alan Ginsberg taking the stand and saying O-O-O-O-H-H-H-H-M-M-M-M-M repeatedly to demonstrate what he was doing for 7 hours after the protests. Sorkin put a lot of stuff into the movie, but still left out a lot of the insanity.
