Chief Gillespie
Got a name, boy?
Tibbs
Virgil Tibbs.
Gillespie
Virgil? [Laughing] Well, I don't think we're going to have any trouble, are we, Virgil?
Tibbs
No trouble at all.
Gillespie
You can go now, Sam. [Deputy Sam Wood leaves the room] Whatcha hit him with?
Tibbs
Hit whom?
Gillespie
"Whom"? "Whom"? Well, you a Northern boy? What's a Northern boy like you doing all the way down here?
Tibbs
I was waiting for the train.
Gillespie
There ain't no trains this time in the morning.
Tibbs
Tuesdays only 4:05 to Memphis.
Gillespie
You say. [train horn blowing] Well, alright. You say right. Now, look. I try to run a nice, clean, safe town here. A town where a man can sneeze and not get his brains beat out. You follow me?
Tibbs
Yes.
Gillespie
Why don't you tell me how you killed Mr. Colbert, and I promise you you're gonna feel a whole lot better.
