:19:01
Yes, sir.
:19:04
You can't be serious, sir. I mean, even
if l could be of help, they wouldn't want it.
:19:10
No, sir. I'm not prejudiced.
:19:14
Yes, sir. I am a police officer
and they're police officers, but...
:19:24
Hello. This is Gillespie.
Yes, sir. Yep, well...
:19:28
You don't say?
:19:31
He's your number one homicide expert?
:19:33
Well, my, my, my.
:19:35
I don't think we need any help.
We can wrap this up ourselves.
:19:39
Yes, sir. But l do want to thank you
:19:41
for offering me such a powerful piece
of manpower as Virgil Tibbs.
:19:45
Yes, sir. Thank you.
Yeah. Goodbye, now.
:19:52
Oh, it's all there.
We paid for the phone call ourselves.
:20:01
Now, you are the number one
homicide expert.
:20:03
- That's right.
- I bet you look at a lot of dead bodies.
:20:07
Lots.
:20:09
Well?
:20:13
- Well, what?
- Well...
:20:14
I just thought maybe, uh... Maybe you
wouldn't mind takin' a look at this one?
:20:20
No, thanks.
:20:22
- Why not, expert?
- Because l've got a train to catch.
:20:25
Wait a minute.
That train don't leave till noon.
:20:27
They pay you $162.39 a week just to look
at bodies. Why can't you look at this one?
:20:32
- Why can't you look at it for yourself?
- Because l'm not an expert...
:20:36
Officer!
:20:46
Ten cents, ten million dollars - just
doesn't matter when a man's time comes.
:20:52
Mm-hm.
:20:54
I could give him a nicer service
right here in Sparta
:20:57
than he could ever get up there
in Chicago. And at half the price, too.
