Quotes 

• Mayor Webb Schubert : Bill... what's made you change your mind about Tibbs?

  Gillespie : Who says I have?

  Mayor Webb Schubert : [referring to Tibbs slapping Endicott]  Last Chief we had... he'd have shot Tibbs one second after he slapped Endicott, claim self-defense.

• Mrs. Leslie Colbert : I came by to make it as clear as I possibly can: that I do not want the Negro officer taken off this case.

  Mayor Webb Schubert : Negro officer?

  Chief Gillespie : Yeah, well he, uh... he comes from up North, you see, and he was, uh, kinda... passing through...

  Mrs. Leslie Colbert : I don't care what he is. If it wasn't for him, your impartial chief of police would still have the wrong man behind bars. I want that officer given a free hand, otherwise I will pack up my husband's engineers... and leave you... to yourselves.
