• Chief William O. 'Bill' Gillespie : All right, all right, you hold it now. Cuz in another minute we're both going to be swimming in the middle of Lake Silly here.

  Chief of Detectives Virgil Tibbs : [laughs] 

• Chief William O. 'Bill' Gillespie : I don't think there is anything more to be gained by this discussion. I'm going to go see a woman about some cornbread and a bowl of beans.

  Chief of Detectives Virgil Tibbs : [to Himself as Gillespie is leaving]  Lord I wish I had something I could throw.
