In the Heat of the Night · Season 2
I feel so ashamed.
That's alright honey. You can get up and put some clothes on anytime. I'm sure these boys will close their eyes.
Why don't you shut up, stop showing off, tell me where you got this? [Holds out a necklace] Yea, we found it in that pigpen you call "a room" hidden.
Yea, that's right, hidden from the maid. She will steal anything she'll get her hands on.
Question is where did you steal it, Useless?
Room Service!
[Forces door open to room]
What in the hell?
Well, well, well, I do believe that is young Andrew White there in the bed.
I suppose this is how you boys get your kicks, huh?
Oh no little turd it ain't. Actually, it embarrasses the hell out of me.
Hey! Tell that darkie cop of yours to stay out of here.
Well Tommy, I got a better idea. How about on his next day off, you fellas have a little meeting, just the two of you out in that alley back there. And then you can "tell that darkie cop" yourself. I think he'd like that. [Smiles and laughs as he exits the bar]
Come Here!
[Parker starts punching Andy]
Hey Parker!
[Pulls Parker off Andy]
Settle down!
[to Parker] He ain't worth it.
Keep that fat pig off me.
[Grabs Andy's throat] You shut your mouth or maybe I'll let him have a little more of you. Get him outta here Lonnie!
Oh come on Chief, let me haul him in right now butt naked. Come on, please!
Whatever turns you on Bubba.
Now, I talked with Mrs. Tibbs about you.
[Angrily] Because I wanted. That's why.
Uh Chief, that Phillip Casey is on the phone and he's whopping mad.
[picks up the phone] Mr. Casey, Chief Gillespie here. Wait a minute, Detective Tibbs did what? [pause] I see. [pause] Just hold it now. I'll take it up with Detective Tibbs when he comes in. [pause] Mister Casey, don't get yourself all excited, it isn't good for you. [pause] If you want to make any charges, go on over to the District Attorney and make them. You do whatever you feel is right for you to do. We are going to keep on doing what we feel is right for us to do here. Bye. [hangs up] Something wrong with that fella.
That's telling him Chief.
I hear you can be a good friend Virgil. Sorry I missed that.
[to himself, after Charlotte leaves] Me too. Me too.
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".
Don't matter what they call you down here, Virgil, you're still just a nigger like me.
I don't believe that.
Nothing ever changes.
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.
Virgil can stay in the kitchen with me.
Why Travis, the war's over, and you won, remember?
People gettin' their throat sliced right and left, snowin' in Mississippi, what the hell's goin' on here, Virgil?
Man, I cannot believe somebody actually sat down and wrote all this stuff out. Now listen to this. "Certain procedure shall not implemented on any macadam pavement where the firm...
[Interrupting Sweet] Macadam? What's pavement got to do with nuts?
Nuts? What nuts? I didn't say anything about nuts?
Well macadam, you know them little bity white round nuts that come in a blue cans that has a picture of a pineapples on them?
Parker, that's called a macadamia nut.
Where is Macadamia anyway?
Well, I don't think it exists anymore Parker, but at one time I think it was over in Europe someplace.
I think you are talking about Macedonia, and you're right, there's no Macedonia anymore.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Maybe that's why they ship them from Hawaii these days.
Ship WHAT from Hawaii these days?
Them tiny nuts. It's what we're talking about ain't it?
I'm talking about macadam pavement, that's what I'm talking about.
You don't have to get so uppy Sweet. I mean, maybe that's the kind of roads they have in Hawaii to truck them out on.
[answers ringing phone] Sparta Police Department, Parker Williams.
You know Sweet, it's real sad. He was turning into a real good officer, and then sometimes I... [Shakes his head]
I don't see this as a joke Chief Gillespie.
You come in and address me with a joke and that's the way I'm gonna respond to you.
The black community will not accept anything less.
Mister Dutton, I didn't realize you had become such an expert on the black community.
You mean Bubba Skinner? He just left here.
He left? You turned him loose?
No sir, Judge McCurtin over at the court turned him loose. Known as due process of law. I'm sure they taught you something about that before you left Ole Miss.
