Tibbs
When I examined the deceased, it was obvious that the fatal blow was struck from an angle of seventeen degrees to the right, which makes it almost certain the person who did it was right-handed.
Gillespie

Shagbag
Ol' Harv's left-handed, Chief. Everyone in town knows that.
Wood
Yeah, that's what we figured out, Chief, uh-huh, Harvey's lefty.
Gillespie
Well, you're pretty sure of yourself, ain't you, Virgil? Virgil—that's a funny name for a **** boy that comes from Philadelphia! What do they call you up there?
Tibbs
They call me Mr. Tibbs!
Gillespie
"Mr. Tibbs"? Well Mr. Wood, take Mr. Tibbs, take him down to the depot, and I mean boy right now!
