Chief of Detectives Virgil Tibbs : Travis, do you know that you're the first black man I ever heard people call "Mister"? When I was a kid, I wanted to be like you, I wanted people to call me "Mister".
Travis Hawnwell : Don't matter what they call you down here, Virgil, you're still just a nigger like me.
Chief of Detectives Virgil Tibbs : I don't believe that.
Travis Hawnwell : Nothing ever changes.
Chief of Detectives Virgil Tibbs : You know, Travis, it seems to me that this town has changed, but you've remained the same. And I think that's a shame.
