A scene from The Star Chamber 1983
Det. Wickman

When are you going home?

Det. Lowes

Soon.

Det. Wickman

Have you had something to eat?

Det. Lowes

Yes.

Det. Wickman

When?

Det. Lowes

Yesterday.

Det. Wickman

Yesterday? You look like shit.

Det. Lowes

Thank you.

Det. Wickman

You're welcome. You want a pizza?

Det. Lowes

No. I don't want any pizza.

Det. Wickman

Go home, Harry.

Det. Lowes

In a little while.

Det. Wickman

You can look at that stuff all you want. The words are not gonna change. You know that.

Det. Lowes

I know.

Det. Wickman

If you don't get some rest and something to eat, you're gonna die. And if you don't go home, you're gonna die here. I don't want you to die here... because if you die here, that'll mean I have to do all that paperwork. And right now, I'm up to my ass in paperwork.

Det. Lowes

The answer is in here somewhere. It always is.

Det. Wickman

It'll be there tomorrow.

Det. Lowes

[sighs]

All right. Let's get a pizza.

Det. Wickman

I hate pizza. Let's go get drunk.

Det. Lowes

What? You're the one that's always worried about my health.

Det. Wickman

Oh, you can die in a bar. That's okay. I can skip out and leave you there. It's just when the bodies fall across my desk, you see? That's when it becomes a real drag.

In this scene

Det. Lowes Yaphet Kotto
