- Virgil Tibbs: I want to like you people; and I want you people to like me. But there can't be liking without respect, and until there is that respect you will call me MISTER TIBBS!
- Virgil Tibbs: You know Bubba had to hit him.
- Jamison: Like I always say, Bubba has all the fun around here!
- Bill Gillespie: Yeah, the last time I caught you using my phone in here, the emergency was about some woman who was driving your car dressed in black lace underwear.
- Bubba Skinner: I wish there was some things you'd forget Chief.
- Parker: I got a call from Randy Calhoun.
- Bill Gillespie: Tell him we're closed.
- Parker: It's about a murder.
- Bill Gillespie: Did he commit it?
- Parker: I don't think so. I forgot to ask.
- Bill Gillespie: Well, that might have been an important question.
- J.J. Jeffson: Well, you know what the Lord says: "Go forth and multiply, and fill the earth."
- Bill Gillespie: But I don't think he meant for you to do that by yourself.
- Virgil Tibbs: Ever since that woman came to town, Bubba
- [sigh]
- Virgil Tibbs: ... I think he's in over his head. She's a beautiful, sophisticated young woman and Bubba, well...
- Althea Tibbs: You can't understand what she sees in him.
- Virgil Tibbs: In a word, No.
- Althea Tibbs: Let me try to explain this to you Virgil. Bubba is a HUNK. He's manly, he's strong, he's considerate and just rippling with muscles.
- Virgil Tibbs: Althea, Althea, you're a married woman.
- Althea Tibbs: Hey I'm married, I'm not blind.
- Virgil Tibbs: Well, if Bubba's a hunk, what does that make me?
- Bill Gillespie: I'll stay here and round up a posse, in case I feel the need to cut anybody off at the pass.
- Bill Gillespie: Nobody in the world can help the two of us the way we can help each other, because there's nobody left that's a part of the two of us. We're all there is. That's it.
- Parker: It just doesn't seem fair. I mean , I can see how beautiful, how truly beautiful Julie is. But she can't see...... .
- Virgil Tibbs: Maybe that's what makes Julie so special. She judges with her heart, not her sight. It doesn't matter what you look like, what color you are, but she can really... .see... .you. And that's what really matters.
